Kodwa oko kuya kuba kukutyelela le ndawo imangalisayo, kuyavakala ukwazi into ethile ngaphambi kwexesha malunga nokuba ziphila njani iindawo ezihlala khona, kunye nento enokwenziwa, kodwa engacetyiswayo.
I-Lagos, yenye yezona ndawo zidumileyo zePortugal, nakwindlela yam yokukhangela, ukutyelela ilizwe laseNtshona Kampu kwaye ukungandwendweli, kukunyelisa. Kodwa oko kuya kuba kukutyelela le ndawo imangalisayo, kuyavakala ukwazi into ethile ngaphambi kwexesha malunga nokuba ziphila njani iindawo ezihlala khona, kunye nento enokwenziwa, kodwa engacetyiswayo.
Abo banolwazi olusisiseko lolwimi lwesiNgesi, abazikhathazi ngeengxaki zonxibelelwano. Isimo sokuchitheka kwendawo sizenza sivakalelwe, kwaye abakhenkethi abavela kwi-Albion Albion bathanda ukuphumla eLagos, abakhuthazayo basebenzela abahlali benkonzo, bafunda ulwimi lwe-Shakespeare kunye ne-Arthur Coan Coan Coany.

Ngokubanzi, abahlali beLagos banobuhlobo kakhulu kwaye banobuhlobo, inyani yinye indlela endandimangalisayo. Oku akukhathaleki. Ewe, ayamkelekanga kubo ukuze enze imicimbi yabo kwaye eze ezintlanganisweni ngaxesha elimisiweyo. Yamkela nje njengenyani.
Imeko enomdla kakhulu kwi-lagos eneti. Bona, ngokungafani namanye amazwe aseYurophu, abanye bengamkelwanga, nangona uthanda inkonzo, ungabashiya, kodwa kuyakufanelekela ukuthathela ingqalelo into yokuba bangayi kumncedisi okanye umqeshwa wehotele, kodwa uya kuwa Kwincwadi "eqhelekileyo", ethi yahlulwe kubo bonke abasebenzi beziko.
