Is this true?

Fiwasayo:
Surulere,there is power supply 16 hours a day,at least,where i live,it is secure,and it is a central location to other places...you can easily asses ikeja,the island,badagry etc

Thanks bruv... Excellent suggestions... I'm inclined to follow your suggestions. Magodo 2 and Ikeja GRA/ikeja generally seem like excellent options at this point

PunditAfrica:
You have the money,, Ikeja GRA is best, it is close to everything that matters.. Next is magodo, cool and planned estate that has a unique prestige.. Then houses on Allen avenue, opebi, alausa, very serene wt proximity to businesses that matters and luxury clubs on Oba akran. Omole phase 1 is next wt quick entry and exit lagos access. Gbagada is a large "above average" settlement, big bussineses lyk yudala, Zinox, UPS have dia HQ dia and every neibourhood is tarred. Surulere is a mixed settlement, it has d upscale bode Thomas street, adeniran ogunsanya street, eric moore etc yet it has d pulse of ojuelegba, Lawanson, shitta etc bt the good thing is that as large as it is 90% of roads r tarred.

Pple don't actually know that yaba has London within it. Behind the noise of yaba market and the pulse of insurance companies are very beautiful foreign designed homes in yaba. I stumbled on that settlement not long ago.. I cut in somwhere on murtala muhammed way and behold, fine homes, beautiful women and serene cool environment...

So OP, ur pocket is all that matters, Lagos has somtin for everyone... Anthony, Maryland and palmgroove estate are also nice settlement on d mainland...

And if you vex, go to lekki, ajah, vgc, ikoyi, banana, Victoria or eko Atlantic!!

you no well!

Please choose Gbagada Phase 2. It's the best based on the conditions u listed. You will thank me later if u do. Gbagada all the way.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm thinking of relocating to Lagos, and I'd like some valuable information. I have already narrowed down my areas of interest to just four locales:

1. Ajao Estate
2. Gbagada
3. Surulere
4. Ikeja -not OPIC/Isheri North


I chose these areas because because of their relative centrality (if we could call it that), ease of access -I can easily navigate my way to the Island, Airport etc- and the possibility of getting relatively new homes. Alternative suggestions particularly around those areas are highly welcome. Now my questions are as follows:

Which would you recommend based on the following criteria:

1. Serenity
2. Electricity/Power -looking for relatively stable power o (not 24 hours before una go yab me ) that I can supplement with gen/inverter
3. Possibility of securing new or relatively new homes (it doesn't make sense to fork over 5 times the value of what I'm paying where I'm located now for a similar build)
4. Security
5. Accessibility - Tarred, interlocked roads or well graded roads at the very least.
6. No flooding

Also, if you could also recommend specific estates, that would be really helpful.

Please note: I'm a bachelor looking to settle down sometime soon. So, proximity to good schools and all those other family-based decisions aren't a priority right now. Also, I'm not exactly interested in moving to the island for now. I no get strength to battle flooding issues lol.

I'm hoping this thread would also be beneficial to other folks with similar interests. Thank you.

Lalasticlala mynd44 lawyer... please help a brother out. Na beg i dey beg o. I no do shakara

Gbagada phase 2... Where's that please?!

pls i need a room self con too aroud fagba or ogba

ok whats ur budget?

markpenk:
Lol... Maybe sometime next year. Still thinking about it. For now though, and after pictures/videos of VGC roads being under water, I'm having a huge rethink. B

Lekki and VGC, Two very different place.
Don't talk like an ignorant person.

Don't be stupid and crass... And it's "places", not place seeing as it's plural. I currently frequent the Island whenever I'm in Lag for work/pleasure and am aware of the flooding situation, particularly during the wet season.

If you have no meaningful contributions to the topic, kindly leave the thread.

Yes. Illupeju especially has a very high crime rate. Obanikoro and Palmgrove has those Shomolu and Bariga boys to contend with.

I disagree with you, I lived in surulere and what I witnessed there is far more worse than what happens @ those areas

Really?! I was always under the impression that 'lere was relatively safe and secure.

Ketu is okay in terms of distance to other part of Lagos. For instance you can get to the popular mile12 market with just N50, Island with just N150, Ikorodu with just N70 in the early hours of the day. Fadayi, palm grove, onipan, yaba, ojuelegba and others are below 200

Social life is at your doorstep because with just 100naira tfare, you will get exposed ro the social life in ikeja.

A decent room and parlor self cont is around 200.

Too far out... Plus there's significant risk of flooding from what I heard

If you consider the traffic that is now eradicated, it's no more too far. You can follow @IsheriNorth on IG to see what Ojodu Berger looks like now and also pictures of Isheri North & the GRA.

And regarding flooding, it's raining tonight, get pictures of Lekki and VGC and upload and I will upload pictures of Isheri North by tomorrow.

So many people deal on hearsay and makes them miss lifetime opportunities. It's a thing you can come check by yourself. Except from when the people at the dam need ecological money from the government, then they allow the artificial flood which will be dealt with if not already.

Checked out your handle on IG... Looks good. Thanks for the information. My major concern is the bolded. Parts of the estate were flooded last year, right?

Yes, it was.

This is it. The team at the dam were replaced, the new team wanted ecological fund, so they caused the flood to get government's attention. Then back it up with lies.

The years before last year, nothing of such happened, and of course it rained during those years.
