Few days ago there was a discussion and i mentioned how impossible it is to pinpoint the exact population of Lagos, well! this video said 20million people with a landmass of  999.6 km² (385.9 sq mi) compared to that of  London (1,570 km² (607 sq mi), however, Lagos is approximately more densely populated with over 2000 people /km² than london.
