Following a live video at the beginning of the year on the Lost in Lagos official Instagram page—where the LIL+ community was suggested new, additional, and refined issue themes and sub-themes for the magazine—Lost in Lagos Plus Magazine is excited to debut its first-ever Health, Wellness, and Community-themed issue, Movement .
This debut is both proof and a concrete expression of LIL+ value, as a company that listens to its readers and supporters.
“There is a block of human life that’s not included in anatomy and physiology as we know it—communities—and listening to ours, moving forward, we have decided to make Community part of our health, wellness and fitness exploration that we typically do in March. Think of it as a sub-theme”; — Elvis Dante Osifo, the Editor in Chief of Lost in Lagos Plus Magazine.
Movement examines how good health extends beyond individual choices to the communities that support, sustain, and inspire us. It is also a play of words between the first characteristic of a living person, and the causes and support systems that make life worth living!
Coincidentally, the theme for International Women’s Day this month, Accelerate Action, is a global call to recognise the strategies, resources, initiatives, and systems driving real progress for women. With that, the Women of Awari tells us about the support systems built around “their way of work.”;
Inside, Teniade Alao discusses the global and African healthcare landscapes, explaining the local impact of global health policies, such as U.S. funding cuts to the WHO, on Nigeria's healthcare system, and Gbegbaje Odafe shares how his LVC community saved him from depression, and how volleyball can be a solace, providing inner peace to those in need of it. Boladapo Abdul tells us about Pilates, Yoga, and Barre, and Kelvin Agboso shares a simple home workout routine with us. Yusuf Zubaida breaks the silence on infertility in Nigeria, and Ezinne Okeke hopes you don’t break something trying out her volleyball techniques.
Every month, a business is featured as the ‘Spot of the Month,’ and this month Heliconia Park is the front burner. Located in the prestigious Eko Atlantic City, this apartment-only hotel is changing the game of Nigerian hospitality, offering an elevated experience that is both indulgent and deeply personal. For the discerning traveler, this isn't just another luxury residence in Victoria Island, nor merely a place to stay, but a destination to belong.
