Snippet:
The beaches in Nigeria’s megacity of Lagos are rare public spaces to escape the crowds and heat, but many residents say they are being priced out as the local government opens up more coastal land to developers. Fees for entry and items like seating and drinks are soaring. That’s a new stress for those living in the city with over 20 million people.
