Why Africa Doesn’t Build Subways - The Lagos Perspective | Urban Griot | Ojo Olamide Enoch

From Cairo’s tunnels to Lagos’s endless go-slows, this episode dives deep into the political, historical, and cultural roots of Africa’s surface-bound cities. Featuring rare archival footage, cinematic visuals of Lagos, and sharp analysis, we explore how colonialism, informality, governance, and infrastructure have shaped—and stalled—the continent’s transit dreams.

Discover the untold story behind Lagos’s Blue Line, Egypt’s metro legacy, and why some African cities still dream underground while others stay stuck in traffic.
