Nike Centre For Art And Culture

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.

The Cathedral Church of Christ

Reviewed By Liesel81 - Kigali Province, Rwanda

I first noticed this building when I came back for easter it was at night as I got of at the cms busstop I was so impressed by the sight of the building that I wanted to go back and have a look. I visited on a public holiday before the evening markets started so the junction was busy but not yet crazy. We didnt pay any entrance fee. The secruity guys let us in and we took a look at the cathedral and made some pictures. Unlike certain places my digital camera was not an issue here. I believe we spent like 20 minutes in the church. The pictures of the cathredal are best taken from across the street or perharps also from the bridge. They church had been decorated for an 80th birthday celebration so there were flowers and ribbons - making the pictures more personal
