After delving into the history, economics, and politics of numerous countries across the globe, I came to a sudden realization one day that there indeed remains hope for black Africa, sparked by a narrative I heard about a man named Thomas Sankara.

The actual line of the West African coastal Megalopolis is Abidjan to Douala, stretching through the Southern Nigerian coastline into littoral Cameroon, not Abidjan to Lagos. After Lagos, there are still several huge Nigerian urban centres dotting the coastline, some even bigger than some of the cities situated on the urban line between Abidjan and Lagos, for example, Port Harcourt. This would become even more important after the entire Nigerian coastline is connected by a super Highway which will run parallel to the coast from the Lagos Metropolis in its western end to Calabar on its eastern end, a project which the Nigerian government has already commenced.

Eko Atlantic! I've been staying at the Eko Hotel adjacent to this on and off since February 2020 and it is still 95% sand.

From Abidjan to lagos is called trans Atlantic motorway

I am Senegalese but it is true the population of Lagos only is much more numerous than the population of Senegal

Everyone I know who has taken this route tells me that the wait times at the borders are horrendous. I hope that is something they can resolve and make more efficient.
