But what on earth is an Area Girl?
Would you want to be an Area Girl? And can you be an Area Girl with a decent future?

We're in Ajegunle, one of the poorest and toughest neighbourhoods of Lagos, though even here there are smart cars and sharp dressers - in its chaotic way, Lagos is a booming city.

But like many big-city slums, Ajegunle would do badly if judged against Millennium Development Goal One, and its target to provide "full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young people".

Oninye, Bisayo and Gift certainly have the grit and personality (key Area Girl qualities) to make it in their chosen careers - fashion, civic leadership, food retail - though right now, it's working out a little differently.

After all this is not an area where decent work is always easily available.

"Life on the Edge" is broadcast on BBC World News on Saturdays at 0030 BST, 0730 and 1930 and Sundays at 1330.
