1. Ebute Metta East

The most useless area in Lagos Mainland, poor electricity, no car parking spaces, the street is where they park cars, cultists everywhere, living rooms be looking like rat house (very small), security is bad. ...very poor. The area smells like shit all the time and people still jump on it just because of location. Yet, a room self contain looking like garbage is 400k, a tiny 3-bedroom flat on Abeokuta street is 1.2m.

Who is doing you people?

2. Yaba

Is it light you need? Poor

Security? Garbage

Good house? Never

Tiny apartments? White heavy check mark

Expensive without car park? White heavy check mark

Agency fee? Skyrocketed

The only thing Yaba can boast of is proximity to CBD.

Yet, a tiny miniflat is 400k, a 3-bedroom flat is 1.2m.

Ha, mogbe



3. Ajah

The most overrated area on the island as a whole. Ajah is just a pompous Ikorodu with over-bloated ego.

Traffic? Yes

Fine house? Yes

Ajah Touts? Yes

CultIism? Yea

Exaggerated rent? Yes

Flooding? Yes

Electricity? Poor

This same people act like they are living......in Lagos but they don’t believe people in Ikorodu are living in Lagos. Wow

Ajah is an outskirt of Lagos just like Badagry, Ikorodu, Epe and Iyana Ipaja. Get that fact

Sangotedo doesn’t make you a big boy neither does Badore

Yet, a 3 bedroom flat is 1.2 - 1.8m...overrated


Lagos Island, Eko

Dirtiness? Yes

Dilapidated houses? Yes

Over-bloated house rent? yes

Car park space? Never

Touts? White heavy check mark

Security? Poor

Proximity to CBD? Good

Noise? Number 1

Heat? Number 1

Cultism? Unmatched

This area is pure trash. You can enter someone’s living room through another persons bedroom. From Obawole to Iga Iduganran, you can be robbed by your next door neighbour. No one cares.

When walking on the street at night, keep your phones at home.

No go area






5. Surulere

Car parking space? Fair

Housing? Poor

Agency? Dilemma

Proximity? Dope

The big problem about Surulere is Traffic and Noise which is due to the fact that every street has 2 or more beer parlour or club.

Also, if you manage to get a small fine apartment, the price will send you back to the village.

For real

Since you don list all dis places, where remain again?

Some truth in your analysis......Ajah, sangotedo is on the outskirts of Lagos but inhabitants wouldn't agree.

Banana island is also overated. Nothing de there.

Oshodi

Ikeja

Maryland

Ayobo

Nawa for this lagos ooo...make I dey slay my Kaduna jeje!

Most expensive slum in the world is lagos. Ajah it self is like 30 mins drive to VI without traffic with traffic 2 hours. Island also has bad water. Disgusting

sammirano:


Oshodi

Ikeja

Maryland

Ayobo

If iyana ipaja is on the list, talk more of ayobo. Only Ikeja and maryland fits in

All u stated @op is very correct. Lagos is just a glorified slum!! No wonder I hardly see old people in Lagos. Only the stress and poor living conditions can shorten life span.

Please add Lekki..


That place is overrated.

Them no dey ever get light

No light in those areas because diesel suppliers are making a killing from their customers living there.

As for light issue, did you notice theses areas the op mentioned are all under Eko disco UP ikeja electric

The whole Lagos is overrated. But was pain most is Mowe claiming the same house rent with lagos

After smoking some weed, you will just come to nairaland and be typing nonsense. You are not even in Lagos. Are you?

It is obvious that you didn't read the post. He shared thoughts of a twitter user.

BTW, he is correct. State your facts to counter him.

Overhyped.....

There is a drop of insanity in every Lagosian...
