According to “Zlatan, Frescool, Oladips, Oberz, Kabez, and Trod” in the song “Lagos Anthem, there are a lot of wealthy people in Lagos, pretending not to be wealthy. They have hustled for their money, and are now wealthy, but are hiding their wealth. These people drive big cars like Aston Martin, Bugatti, and even the latest cars. They also have wild fun, spend a lot of money, and never forget to route Toll Gate axis every Friday night where the fun continues.
