What does it really mean to travel? Is it just about destinations and curated Instagram shots, or the passport that lets you cross borders in the first place? The April 2025 issue of Lost in Lagos Plus Magazine asks bold, necessary questions with the theme “Dreams vs Paper” — a striking exploration of privilege, access, and the politics of movement.
In this refreshingly raw and reflective edition, Editor-in-Chief, Elvis Osifo, opens the conversation with an essay that hits home for many Nigerians: how a simple green passport can feel like a locked door instead of a key. The issue doesn’t shy away from the hard truths — instead, it leans in, telling the untold stories of what it truly takes for Africans to dream beyond their borders.
In this issue, Amaka Amaku takes Lebanon, Tolu Ade takes Seoul, Ipinmi Akinkugbe takes Italy, Mercy Ekenma Uka takes Kigali, Abdurrahman takes Egypt, Christina Jane takes Doha. Yinka Seth takes Paris, Zim Erobo takes Dubrovnik, and they take you all through 40+ pages of global exploration.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, they did a local exploration into Nigeria’s rich travel experiences/destinations. Check out their list of top 10 family-friendly global destinations in 2026, and their top 5 places to visit in Abuja, Benin, Kano, Abeokuta, and Jos. Lost in Nigeria? Don’t worry their event guide will lead you to the best places across the country.
Every month, a business is featured as the ‘Spot of the Month,’ and this month, Boca Lagos is recommended as a gem to explore. Perfectly positioned within the ultra-premium Heliconia Park, Boca benefits from a setting that is both exclusive and accessible.
It is far removed from the noise and congestion of Lagos proper, yet close enough to the pulse of the city, making it the ideal stop for pre-flight lunches, sundowners after a day of meetings, or quiet brunches on a breezy Sunday morning.
Whether you’re jet-setting across continents or discovering hidden gems within Nigeria, this issue is your companion for reflective, joyful, and deeply human exploration.
