Capital of Nigeria until 1991 (5)

I believe the answer is:

lagos

(Other definitions for lagos that I've seen before include "African city" , "Chief port and former capital of Nigeria" , "African port" , "city in Africa" , "Strange goals of the Nigerian port" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
