FACES November-December 2019
Lagos, Nigeria is one of the biggest cities in the world, so it only makes sense you and your kids should explore the people, language, customs, and wildlife. This edition of FACES Magazine delivers all that and more right to your door.
From having the highest rate of fraternal twin babies in the world to Senegal bushbaby—a cuddly primate that lives in the trees, you will leave no stone of Lagos unturned. You and your children will learn to speak Pidgin, wander through the floating city, and get star-struck with Nollywood, where one million Nigerians make movies. Don’t forget to delve into the history of Lagos, which is just as fascinating as the modern city.
