Pomimo strategicznego znaczenia rolnictwa dla rozwoju narodów przedsiębiorczość rolnicza (agropreneurship) wydaje się być niekorzystną opcją wśród młodzieży szkolącej się i mieszkającej w osiedlach miejskich, takich jak stan Lagos w Nigerii. Pomimo różnych inicjatyw agroprzedsiębiorczych wdrażanych przez rząd stanu Lagos za pośrednictwem jego agencji i instytucji młodzież lub młodzi przedsiębiorcy chcą kontynuować karierę w sektorach usług, technologii, mody i rozrywki, gdzie to się dzieje i jest dość modne. W związku z tym dążenie do stania się agroprzedsiębiorcą wydaje się być nieco ograniczone dla studentów studiów licencjackich, motywowanych czynnikami, nieznanymi dla wielu badaczy i decydentów. W badaniu tym oceniono czynniki, które motywują studentów szkół wyższych, należących do Lagos, do stania się agroprzedsiębiorcą. Korzystając z projektu badawczego opartego na równoczesnej transformacyjnej metodzie mieszanej, zebrano dane od młodych rolników (rolników z kampusu), którzy są studentami trzech wyższych uczelni Lagos State University (LASU), Lagos State University of Education (LASUED), Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), której właścicielem jest stan Lagos, metodą wywiadu i kwestionariusza. Respondentów zapytano o motywy rozpoczęcia działalności w sektorze rolniczym, a wyniki analizy za pomocą prostej analizy procentowej i treściowej ujawniły, że m.in. głównymi czynnikami motywującymi respondentów do rozpoczęcia działalności rolniczej było rzucenie sobie wyzwania w zakresie myślenia nieszablonowego, uniezależniania się, z możliwością kontrolowania swojego czasu, realizacji marzeń, podnoszenia statusu społeczno-ekonomicznego oraz rozwiązywania problemów związanych z żywnością. Opierając się na wynikach tego badania, zalecono między innymi rządowi, aby za pośrednictwem określonych ministerstw, departamentów i agencji stworzył politykę zachęcającą do projektów rolniczych na kampusach, a także udostępnił dotacje rolnikom na kampusach na podstawie ilości ich produktów rocznie.

In spite of the strategic importance of agriculture to the development of nations, agricultural-based entrepreneurship (agropreneurship) seems to be an unfavoured option among youths schooling – and living- in urban settlements such as Lagos state, Nigeria. Despite the various agropreneurship initiatives being implemented by the Lagos State Government through its agencies and institutions, the youth or young entrepreneurs desire to pursue their careers in the service, technology, fashion and entertainment sectors where it is happening and trendy. Consequently, the push to become agropreneurs seems to be somewhat restricted to undergraduate students motivated by factors unknown to many researchers and policy makers. This study assessed the factors that motivate Lagos-owned tertiary institutions’ undergraduate students to become agropreneurs. Using the concurrent transformative mixed method research design, data were collected from young agropreneurs (campus farmers) who are undergraduates of the three tertiary institutions – Lagos State University (LASU), Lagos State University of Education (LASUED), Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH) – owned by Lagos State using the interview and questionnaire methods. Respondents were asked about their motivations to start a business in the agriculture sector, and results of the analysis using simple percentage and content analysis brought to the fore that, among the key motivators for the respondents to start their agro-based businesses were to challenge themselves to think out of the box, becoming independent with the ability to control their time, pursuing their dream, elevating their socio-economic status, and to solve the food crisis. Based on the results, this study recommended amongst others that, government through its specialized ministries, departments and agencies should create policies that encourages campus farming project and also, grants should be made available to campus farmers based on the quantity of their produce yearly.

The main argument of this paper emerges from the submission that the advent of globalization resulted in the dynamics that influenced the Nigerian dress culture, particularly among Lagos residents. While insisting that with the aid of globalization through mass media, internet and education, the western dress culture (and civilization) has precariously affected and impacted the traditional dress culture of Nigerians, the paper also points to the fact that the people of Lagos had established, well before the advent of colonial rule, a clothing pattern which included clothing materials and designs (weaving and tie and dye), and clothing styles which was generally accepted and does not go against the Yoruba taboos. The paper further submits that while changes have occurred, the dress culture of the Yoruba people have, through the process of globalization, found its way to other parts of the world, although not at the same pace with the western dress. The paper adopts historical narrative and descriptive analysis to drive home its points. It relies also on primary and secondary data to prove the effects of globalization on the dress culture of the people. It concludes by critically analysing and stating the contributory effect such complex and multifaceted phenomenon have had on Nigerian peoples and their culture.

Building collapses in Lagos metropolis have become worrisome to residents, developers, and Government. This study examined the incidences of collapsed buildings in Lagos metropolis over a thirty-year period. Time series analysis was carried out to determine the past and predict direction of the future occurrences. In addition, a process of inference from reports on investigations of past occurrences was adopted to establish causes of building collapses in the study area. Spatial analysis of the collapses showed high concentration in swampy terrain that was reclaimed in the past. The study recommends, amongst other things, comprehensive investigation of the geophysical characteristics of the affected locations towards finding lasting solution to the menace.

Lagose griūvantys pastatai kelia nerimą gyventojams, vystytojams ir vyriausybei. Šiame tyrime nagrinėjamas pastatų griuvumo dažnumas Lagose per trisdešimt metų. Atlikta laiko eilučių analizė, siekiant nustatyti buvusius atvejus ir numatyti būsimų atvejų tendencijas. Be to, siekiant nustatyti, dėl kokių priežasčių tiriamoje teritorijoje griūva pastatai, buvo pasirinktas išvadų procesas, pagrįstas ankstesnių atvejų tyrimo ataskaitomis. Erdvinė griuvimų analizė parodė didelę koncentraciją pelkėtose vietovėse, kurios anksčiau buvo melioruotos. Be kitų dalykų, tyrime rekomenduojama atlikti išsamų paveiktų vietovių geofizinių savybių tyrimą, siekiant rasti ilgalaikį sprendimą, kaip išvengti šios grėsmės.

Urban farming is rapidly growing in many cities in Nigeria including a leading African megacity Lagos, although urban stakeholders have paid little attention to the trend over time. The rate of growth of urban farming and its contributions to Lagos state's food supply strategy is worthy of note. In Lagos farming activities are practiced and performed by some able bodied migrants from all parts of the country, who for many reasons could hardly have been absolved by the aggressive urban economy of the city. A close watch on the practitioners reveals a pattern of operation which requires deeper inquiry. A total of 202 urban vegetable farmers were interviewed in four areas of Lagos state to provide primary data for this study. Results from the study showed that an average farmer owns a farm plot of below 120 m by 60 m usually linear and along the expressway, the green vegetable (Celosia argientes) alone constitutes about 97% of what is grown, beds are arranged in sizes of about 1.8 m long by 0.9 m wide and 0.3 m high with furrows in between. The farmers use the simplest local tools, chemical fertilizers, and strategically located irrigation wells. It was also found that the farmers use some part of the vegetables for household consumption, sell others to the local marketers, and contribute their own quota to stem the rising prices of vegetable produce in the local markets. It is therefore imperative on the stakeholders to re-examine the relevance of urban farming in the city and provide support for its growth.
