In a bid to include diasporan Nigerians in the beauty of the evolution of the city on water, Teju Ajayi has begun pre-production plans for a six-part documentary titled ‘Discover Lagos’. The documentary, according to the team, is a groundbreaking project that aims to present the vibrant culture, rich history, and untold narratives of Lagos State, Nigeria through the unique perspectives of diasporan experiences. The series will delve into various facets of Lagos, including its historical significance, cultural landmarks, picturesque beachfront, and beach houses.
This is asides a showcase of thriving art galleries, an efficient transport system, bustling markets, and innovative modern developments. Speaking on the project, Teju Ajayi, who is a practising architect and a connoisseur of tasteful luxury, and fine things revealed that the documentary series, beyond everything, is a guide for diasporan Nigerians who yearn to reconnect with their Lagosian roots and seek recommendations for leisurely visits. He said, ‘Discover Lagos’ will serve as an all-encompassing guide to exploring everything this unique city has to offer.
“The reality is that when many plan to come into the Lagos of today, particularly diasporan Nigerians and other members of the diaspora, they still assume the Lagos of before. But Lagos is a whole lot more, and every day there’s a lot more to discover. This is what has birthed the ‘Discover Lagos’ vision.
