Nigerian International Archetect, Teju Ajayi popularly known as Teju-oga has begun pre-production plans for a six-part documentary, 'Discover Lagos'.
According to the team, the documentary is a ground-breaking effort that attempts to present Lagos State, Nigeria's vibrant culture, rich history, and untold narratives through the lens of diasporan experiences.
The series will look at several aspects of Lagos, including its historical significance, cultural sites, scenic beachfront, and beach mansions.
This is in addition to a showcase of vibrant art galleries, an efficient transportation system, lively marketplaces, and creative modern developments.
Speaking about the project, Teju Ajayi, a practicing architect and connoisseur of tasteful luxury and fine things, revealed that the documentary series is, above all, a guide for diasporan Nigerians looking to reconnect with their Lagosian roots and seek recommendations for leisurely visits.
"Discover Lagos" will be a comprehensive guide to experiencing everything this unique city offers.
On the makings of the documentary series, he explained that, “In making the documentary, the plan is to engage audiences through captivating storytelling and stunning visuals. We understand that the moment you mention documentary, some audiences consider it boring. But Lagos has become a fully realised metropolis and as such the Discovering Lagos journey will be both enlightening as well as entertaining with one volume at a time.
Upon conclusion of production, Ajayi shared that ‘Discover Lagos’ which will premiere in December will be made available on streaming platforms as a number of them have shown interest in carrying such an innovative project.
