Lagos runs on oil money and desperation at the same time, and this film sets out to show both sides of that equation. With around 20 million people packed into Nigeria's commercial capital, the cameras follow the gap between the fortified compounds of the oil-wealthy and the slums where even garbage piles carry resale value. Armed robbery, extortion, and street-level bribery appear as ordinary features of daily life rather than exceptions, and the film traces how corruption reaches from senior officials down to the small cash transactions that keep the city moving. Interviews and on-the-ground footage build a picture of a city functioning as a kind of open market for survival, where crime and commerce blur together. It sits within a wider series profiling dangerous cities worldwide, and it treats Lagos as a case study in how a resource boom can widen inequality instead of closing it, leaving policing and government trust hollowed out in the process.
