> lego
More broadly here, the general idea of a very durable building toy that has appeal to both kids and adults. Unlike a lot of toys, Lego bricks are both (a) durable enough to last for decades or longer under heavy use and (b) timeless enough that a kid who gets passed down a box of loose Legos from their parent won't be uninterested just because it's themed after something that was popular when the parent was a kid.

Great name for an NGO though, "Legos for Lagos".

That's a good thing, it's not a problem to be solved.

Coffee shops? There are no cafes in Lagos? That seems incredibly unlikely to me although I've never been there and couldn't prove it.

Until a few years ago, in India, there were road side coffee shops, but they were sold as quick drop-in, drink and go back type of thingy. Not like you go there with friends, spend an hour, have a good time. Now, coffee day has filled the void. I am guessing there is no coffee day/starbucks in Nigeria.

That's not entirely true. Indian Coffee House chain has been around since the 60's. There were also Irani/Parsi cafes in some cities for even longer.

Crazy. As someone who has traveled pretty extensively, I always thought of cafes as near universal in large cities.
Electronic repairs are done by random technicians rather than by the manufacturers or their certified partners.
Arguably clothes are mainly used clothes. Weed is still illegal - no medical weed. Airbnb has negligible foothold. Renting of properties is mostly a frustrating offline experience.
