Re “Love It or Hate It, Nigeria’s Lagos Is Never Dull,” Dec. 25:

Among all the cities in Africa, Lagos is the most vibrant in which to live and work. With the corruption and looting of the treasury by state officials in Lagos and at the federal level in Nigeria, Lagos and its inhabitants still dominate economic and social activities in West Africa.

For your writer to point out the ills without adequately pointing out the trendy and urban life in Lagos does injustice to a well-researched piece. Like any sprawling city in the world, Lagos has its share of urban ills. In comparison with other cities the size of Lagos, the crime statistic is manageable.
