ADE BANTU: “THIS IS LAGOS, DEAL WITH IT!”

“Lagos is a mix between... it's the talking drum competing with a sax solo with a Jimi Hendrix on Acid coming to join the session. At some point. At some point. And all of them finding a spot Where they don't collide and they don't coexist, they complement each other. And that's the organised chaos of Lagos. It makes sense. It makes sense once You let go. You see, Lagos is in your face. We don't say, Welcome to Lagos. This is Lagos, deal with it. And once you let your guards down and you're like, Okay, I need to let go. I need to immerse myself into this experience. Once you are tense, once you're overthinking it, then it's above your head, then you get frightened, then you just close up. Lagos will back at you, but it will not bite you. And that's the beauty of Lagos. And what you need to do is just be open. But as we say, shine your eye, be alert. As much as you're letting your guards down, be alert. Shine your eye, or else it will devour you.”
