Why Lagos
West Africa has one obvious interconnection point and this is it. Nigeria alone accounts for a large share of the region's internet users, and serving them from Europe adds latency you cannot engineer away, so an edge node in Lagos is the difference between usable and merely reachable.
How Lagos is connected
Several major systems come ashore here, among them SAT-3, WACS, MainOne, Equiano and 2Africa, which ended the era of satellite-priced bandwidth on this coast. IXPN keeps Nigerian traffic inside Nigeria and has pulled the large content caches into Lagos with it. Onward terrestrial reach into neighbouring countries is still the constraint.
