The biggest scam in Nigeria right now is committed by Real estate companies in Ibeju-Lekki area. Thousands of investors have lost Billions there but they don't know yet.

Ha, It's been long o. Like mid 90s. Between 95 to 96. Can't remember the exact year. But what I remember was that as at that time, Langbasa was a bush with tall grasses. Land there was like 50k.

They offered 2 plots to my uncle for 70k back then but he refused. He went to Abuja where he built 2 houses.

Elrufai destroyed both.
pity

your uncle would have been a millionaire by now

Try to take a surveyor there to check your portion if it's not committed land.

If it is committed, sell it!

Never a good idea to buy land where excision is 'in progress.'

It's a big risk. I hope it turns out well for you.

The Advantages of living here in Lekki are numerous and out-weighs the disadvantages.

Advantages:
1. The Air is cleaner than the mainland because it is a Peninsular, the Atlantic Wind blows across and engages with the lagoon breeze, so you are always sure of clean air, especially in developed areas. The exception to this clean air norm is new estates that are springing up. Will be clean air after construction is perfected. Mainland air is somehow static, hardly flows.

2. What you see is what you become. When you see better-designed homes and offices than yours, you are challenged to note that you are not the wealthiest guy in town, so you end up working harder to earn more. The challenge leads to success, whereas if you are living in some mainland places, I supposed you could think you are the reigning champ.

3. The Atlantic Ocean; Nothing as great as taking a walk at the beach every weekend for me and this you can't find at the mainland, I supposed. Haven't lived on the mainland, so I don't know if there are beaches there.

4. High Networth neighbors; I suppose everyone has generators, but here, most generators are soundproof and actually big generators. We have more educated neighbors who know that these neighborhood do not need those yeye noisy generators and will look stupid if they even use such crazy stuff.

5. Until recently, we used to have educated drivers on the road, before the inflow of street guys who now drive like mor0ns and recently, I am forced to think that this once serene place will become the abode of wannabees who think Lekki is a place to live cos of hype.

6. Lekkians have more millions per sqm than any other part of the country, here the bills can make one run crazy sometimes. Sometimes a million is not enough per week but has no choice than to strategize on how to earn in billions, so we also have more billions per sqm than mainland. Probably of that guy taking a walk on the roadside in short being a billionaire is high and you'd never get to know, cos the very wealthy do not patronize the useless fashion trends.

Etc Etc ETc

Disadvantages:
1. Underground water is a salty, rusty mess. You cant drink from your borehole or bath with it, you must treat it. So, to have clean water, you need to prepare to install RO machine. It set me back over 5m to install the system to have clean water to drink, bath and cook with. Cant even wash my expensive cars with the borehole water. So, the water plant installation is not enough, you have to backwash and service the machine every 3 months, at least for mine. So it is expensive to even have water.

2. Single Stretch of Road and Deadly drivers, since the mainland guys started moving here. The government needs to construct the coastal road to help us out.

3. Taxation: Electricity & Land Use Charge levies & taxations are high, but we can almost always handle.

4. Mosquitoes here have BSc in painful bite. Be ready to research for, and install world class net system to keep these organic landlords away. They can bite if you have them in your home.

5. Gated communities and loneliness: Talk about living in homes and you do not even know the name of your neighbor or even seen his face once in many years. I am known, but I doubt if I will ever know the neighbor that owns the house across the road opposite my residence. People are either too busy or too careless about what others do, and have no time to fuccking care who the next dog is, but people are mostly nice and would love to have a drink together, but we are almost always busy except we attend Estate meetings.

6. Criminal Staff; Seems most staff you hire come prepared to steal. Some things as simple as golden wares, silver spoons, kitchen towels etc seem very fanciful to domestic staff, who are mostly from poor neighborhoods, so we always have these items missing and have to keep replacing and one wonders if we are targetted by the nation of the poor.

More disadvantages too, that is why I have decided to move to Silicon Valley, California if Buhari wins.
Well articulated.

There are lots of good and sane estates on the Mainland, and Magodo phase 1 is one. smiley I have been to Lekki phase 1, I have been to Magodo phase 1, and there's isn't much difference aside the fact that the former is bigger and, of course, modern. If you're looking for big men and women in the society, you will find them in both locations.
