Nike Art Centre, Lagos, is one of Nigeria's hidden treasures. Located in Lekki, Lagos, the four-story building compromises of an art gallery and textile museum featuring over 7,000 pieces and soon to have Coffee shop. The Centre has a diverse collection of art by a multitude of artists, celebrating Nigeria's talent, offering visitors an insight into all cultures of Nigeria through the medium of art. It can take up to a full day to discover all the Nike Art Centre has to offer. Fortunately, the gallery is open 7 days a week often holding art exhibitions, workshops and cultural days. If you're feeling creative you can take an art course with Nike or go on one of her week-long retreats outside of Lagos in Osun state (Osogbo), Kogi state (Ogidi) and Abuja, all of which you can visit with 'Nike Tours'. The tours offer overnight accommodation at her guesthouses, and partake in creating traditional African crafts such as adire, batik, indigo, beadwork, painting, or carving. Nike Art Centre is an impressive gallery and a must for art lovers.

A three-storey building that houses the belongings of Fela Kuti right before he died. His room has been preserved the exact way he left it for the past 23 years. A tour guide takes you floor by floor and tells stories of the afrobeat legend Fela with pictures, newsletters from his political party and other sacred artefacts. The third kalakuta is also where Fela Kuti was buried and his tomb is right by the gate. An enlightening experience for followers/lovers of history and afro beats. There's a rooftop chillout spot where you can relax and get some drinks, food or other herbs after the tour.

All of my souvenir shopping was done at Babe 4 Life, traditional patched ankara bags and clothing. rIGHT NEAR THE FOOD COURT!! High end shops such as Tommy Helfiger and others are available. Note: Kentucky Fried Chicken tastes just like KFC in U.S.
