Canopy Tops, Beaches & Markets: Lagos, Nigeria!

In this exciting episode of Culture Kids, Asher and his mom Kristen board their imaginary culture train and land in Lagos, Nigeria, where they’re joined by their local friend Mr. Taofeek Co Founder of Visit Nigeria Now. The trio takes on Africa’s longest canopy walkway at the lush Lekki Conservation Centre, wobbling over treetops, spotting cheeky mona monkeys with cheek pouches, and even catching glimpses of crocodiles below—all while taking in sweeping views of Lagos’s skyline and shoreline. Mr. Taofeek shares amazing cultural insights—from teaching Asher how to say “Ekabo!” (“Welcome!” in Yoruba) to explaining how English helps unite Nigeria’s 500+ ethnic groups—and teases the vibrant arts and crafts market where coral and plastic bead treasures await. With playful squeaks from Asher and thoughtful moments with Kristen, this adventure is a perfect blend of laughter, learning, and cultural connection.
