Freedom Park (Lagos)

Freedom Park is a memorial and leisure park area in the middle of downtown Lagos in Lagos Island, Nigeria which was formerly Her Majesty's Broad Street Prison. It was designed by the architect Theo Lawson as a speculative project under the CIA-Lagos (formerly the Creative Intelligence Agency and now the Cultural Intellectual Association) in 1999. The park was constructed to preserve the history and cultural heritage of Nigerians. Monuments in the park reveal the Lagos colonial heritage and history of Her Majesty's Broad Street prisons. It was built to commemorate the 50th anniversary independence celebration in October 2010. The park serves as a National Memorial, a Historical landmark, a Cultural site, Arts and Recreation centre. The park, when it was a prison hosted some political activists who fought for Nigeria's independence. The park, which is now a serene abode for individuals, visitors' collective contemplation and interaction is open to the public every day. Today, Freedom Park has become a venue for diverse social events and recreational entertainment. History Broad Street Prison was established after Britain made Lagos a Colony in 1861 (see Lagos Treaty of Cession). The initial prison structure was built in 1882 with mud walls and grass thatch but did not last long because of sabotage from colonial government opponents. According to Theo Lawson, architect of Freedom Park, opponents of British colonialism in Lagos "kept throwing fire into it and setting it ablaze and so then in 1885 the colonial government imported bricks from England and rebuilt the prison". The colonial government's expense on the prison in 1882 (£16,000) revealed the government's priority on law and order versus other initiatives such as education which the government spent £700 on. The Colonial report for 1898 indicates that 676 males, 26 females, and 11 juveniles were imprisoned at Broad Street prison for the year. Broad Street Prison was pulled down in 1979 and was reduced to a dumping ground until the 1990s when plans were drawn up to transform the site into a creative space.

Tinubu Square

Tinubu Square, formerly Independence Square, is an open space landmark located in Broad Street, Lagos Island, Lagos State, Nigeria named after the Yoruba slave trader, merchant, and aristocrat Madam Efunroye Tinubu. It was formerly called Ita Tinubu before it was named Independence Square by leaders of the First Nigerian Republic after Nigerian independence and subsequently Tinubu Square. History According to a historian, it was the location of the first court of justice which was replaced in 1918 by the Supreme Court or the Court of Assizes, which was a magnificent structure. The Square was the melting point of different cultures, a place where the indigenous Lagosians, those of Brazilian extract and the colonial administration met. Structure The square is iron-fenced with two flowing fountains, flowers and tropical trees in it. It also contains a life-size statue of Madam Tinubu on a cenotaph. The size of the square is 2,000 square meters. The square was last remodeled in 2017 by the Lagos state government. Environment The Tinubu Square is a serene location, with efforts being made by the operation "Keep Lagos Clean" to make the square a place for tourism and center of attraction.

Площадь Тинубу

Площадь Тинубу (англ. Tinubu Square), ранее площадь Независимости — знаковое открытое пространство, расположенное на Брод-стрит, Остров Лагос, штат Лагос, Нигерия. Названа в честь йорубской работорговки, купчихи и аристократки мадам Эфунройе Тинубу. До того как лидеры Первой нигерийской республики после провозглашения независимости Нигерии назвали её площадью Независимости (а впоследствии — площадью Тинубу), она была известна как Ита Тинубу. История По данным историков, на этом месте располагался первый суд правосудия, который в 1918 году был заменен Верховным судом или Судом ассизов — величественным архитектурным сооружением. Площадь была точкой соприкосновения различных культур — местом, где встречались коренные жители Лагоса, потомки бразильских переселенцев и представители колониальной администрации. Структура Площадь обнесена железным забором, внутри находятся два действующих фонтана, цветы и тропические деревья. На территории также установлена статуя мадам Тинубу в полный рост на кенотафе. Площадь занимает 2000 квадратных метров. Последний раз реконструкция площади проводилась правительством штата Лагос в 2017 году. Окружающая среда Площадь Тинубу представляет собой спокойное место; в рамках операции «Сохраним Лагос чистым» (Keep Lagos Clean) прилагаются усилия для превращения площади в туристический объект и центр притяжения. Художественные инсталляции В 2021 и 2022 годах на площади Тинубу в рамках международного сотрудничества деятелей искусства и культуры были организованы две художественные выставки. На первой были представлены кадры из фильма Стивена Голдблатта, снятые в 1970 году в Нигерии во время производства картины «И пришло разрушение» и случайно найденные в Берлине почти пятьдесят лет спустя. Вторая выставка демонстрировала фотографии, сделанные немецким фотографом Ниной Фишер-Штефан в различных частях Нигерии в 1960-х годах и впервые представленные широкой публике. В ходе второго проекта современный лагосский художник Маллам Муди Яхая создал короткометражный документальный фильм «Почтительный взгляд Нины Фишер-Штефан» (Nina Fischer-Stephan's Respectful Gaze).

Tinubu-torget

Tinubu-torget är ett torg i Lagos, Nigerias huvudstad. Torget är namngett efter Madame Efunroye Tinubu (1805-1887) som tros ha skänkt torget som en gåva. På torget står idag flera olika skulpturer och en fontän. Tinubu-torget har en yta på över 2000 kvadratmeter. Historia Runt år 1890 byggdes Nigerias första domstol vid torget. Den ersattes dock 1918 med en en annan domstol. 1960 skänkte det libanesiska samfundet i Lagos en stor fontän till torget som en present för att symbolisera Nigerias självständighet. Byggen och skulpturer Den första byggnaden på torget var domstolen, som revs för att lämna plats till den stora fontänen. Ännu ett bygge finns uppfört för att fira Nigerias självständighet, frihetsvingarna. På torget finns dessutom ett minnesmärke till Madam Efunroye Tinubu och en staty av henne. Dessutom finns en bronsskulptur märkt "Knowledge is power" och en skulptur vars namn är "Kokoro", båda gjorda av konstnären Kenny Adamson.

Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi

Dolphin Estate is a gated community in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria. History The Dolphin Estate was one of Ikoyi's first gated communities. built by Messrs HFP Engineering Nigeria in 1990 for the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation, LSDPC. This was the completion of phase 1, which consisted of the construction of 646 units. Phase 2 of the project, also developed by Messrs HFP, consisted of the construction of 1458 units. The third phase added prefabricated high rise buildings on eight blocks of the Estate, initially to house those displaced by the construction work. It is the estate where Funsho Williams, a popular PDP Lagos governorship aspirant, was murdered on 26 June 2006 at his residence on Corporation Drive. In October 2015, 45 Boko Haram suspects were arrested after plotting to attack the estate, but later found to be a gas explosion. In July 2017, the government asked all the owners of the properties illegally built on top of the drainage network to vacate their houses and move elsewhere, blaming their presence for the repetitive floods in the area, and engaged in the promised destructions of illegal properties the same month. In September 2018, a major flood hit the Dolphin Estate, and again in October 2019. The drainage system could not release all the captured water into ocean all at once, causing it to remain in the Ikoyi area and rise. Description The estate is home to middle-class and high-income residential areas. There is a police station within the Estate. The Honorary Consulate of Mexico is also located in the Dolphin Estate. It is considered one of the most expensive places to live in Lagos. The structures built in the 1990s are starting to wear off, and the high rise area turned into a low-income area with a poor drainage system and security issues. There is an artificial canal running across the Estate but it is clogged. The estate hosts several hotels like Oakwood Park Hotel, Casa Hawa-Safe Court, Le Paris Continental Hotel and Pelican Intercontinental Hotel, and a shopping complex.
