Obalende is a district at the eastern end of Lagos Island rather than a separate city, sitting between the island's business core and Ikoyi. It is dense and busy, and is best known as a major transport interchange.
The district is a working part of central Lagos rather than a destination, and its street food, particularly a well-known style of rice, has a strong local reputation. The National Museum, the old colonial quarter of Lagos Island and the Lekki peninsula beaches are all nearby.
The bus terminus here is one of the busiest in Lagos, and shared buses and motorcycle taxis run from it across the city. Traffic on and off the island is heavy for most of the day, and ferries across the lagoon avoid some of it.
The climate is tropical with a long rainy season through the middle of the year. The drier months around the turn of the year are more comfortable, though the harmattan haze can settle over the city.
Nigeria uses the NGN, calling code +234.
Nigeria uses the naira, and English is the official language with Yoruba the main local language. Manner is direct, quick and energetic, and card and transfer payments are widely used.
