Africa's most populous city, built across a network of islands and coastal lagoons on the Atlantic Ocean.
Its Portuguese name means «lakes», given by 15th-century Portuguese sailors after the network of coastal lagoons surrounding the original Yoruba settlement of Eko.
Lagos began as a small Yoruba kingdom known as «Eko» before Portuguese sailors and traders named it «Lagos» — Portuguese for «lakes» — in the 15th century, after the network of lagoons surrounding the settlement.
Lagos served as Nigeria's capital until 1991, when the seat of government formally moved to Abuja, but it has remained the country's economic and cultural powerhouse and by far its largest city, as well as a major centre of Nigeria's film industry, known as «Nollywood».
