My Outer Marina Experience In An Industrious City Which Was Formal Capital

So today I decided to take a walk around just to feed my eyes on some old architectural infrastructure and I was really amazed at what I saw and I decided to take a couple of pictures of it.

Lagos! My Lagos!! Our Lagos!!!, Lagos in the oldies was once a state capital which draw a lot of commercial activities because of it’s location which was surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. Has being a commercial city it has drew a lot of persons from all over the country in search for financial freedom or sustainability.

This has raised the population to an unreason amount which has directly increase the cost of living and reduced the standard of living in the sense that there are no viable land for agricultural practices and most of these lands are being taken from the sea.

I had a tour around some ancient buildings which was built during the British colonial era are still standing the test of time, which I began to wonder what kind of building construction was put in place to achieve this magnificent block of art.

The texture, the block are still pretty much solid even when houses of recent which I would say that technology has pretty advanced to a large extent to have collapsing structures.

An old Anglican Church which was built in the 80’s is still pretty much standing strong as we had a tour around the facility tho some minor changes had been done on it, the foundation laid is still is solid and it can last the test of time.

Do you know the sad part of this visit is that we were not allowed to take photos inside of the building, I really wanted you guys so see what it looked like. Which brings me to the question that was the architecture technology better then than now or we are just cutting cost?

I love looking up when visiting a city.
So much street level stuff has been made generic by national & multi-national chains.
But when you look up you see the architecture which hasn't been hidden by homogenisation.

Among the several pictures of the buildings that are there it looks so clear and good.
