Colonial Lagos has enjoyed enormous scholarly historical interrogations and interpretations. The existing body of knowledge cut across social, political and economic history. Despite this however, there is a huge gap to be filled in the cultural and social history of Lagos. Thus, this paper examined identity neighbourhood cultures and the re-definition of social values in colonial Lagos. I argue in this paper that British socioeconomic policies and political manipulations impacted greatly on the sub-structure and super-structure of the society. Besides, the heterogeneous society of Lagos experienced identity formations and dilution in cultures, which fostered re-definition of social values. The paper concludes that colonialism re-defined neighbourhood cultures by introducing new urban life and culture as well as provided the platform for the growth in crime, begging culture, destitution, prostitution and juvenile delinquency.
