Allright,

Complementing the pics i took of Enugu, here i pics i took a few days later in Lagos.
It was a private boat ride from VI to Ikare Island.

Ikare Island is about 20-30mins from VI, and i learnt its somewhere off coast of Ojo

First picture: Lagos Boat hotel. Dont ask me who owns it.
2nd pic: One of the ships used in raising Eko Atlantic city. You can google the name for more info. Dont know why it was docked there on that day

Next Pics is of Otedola (yes, of the bribe giver fame) boat.
Pic 1: Back view of the boat
pic 2 Closer pi

Pic1&2: Passing the ports

Pic1: Commercial boat transport. At least they have lifejackets on abi?
Pic2: Oil vessel. Notice the fuel farm behind. Who knows how much subsidy this one claimed?

Pic1: Well, dont know exactly, just along the way..
Pic2&3: Some guys having fun! Naija sweet when u get pepper, i lie thee not!

Pic1: One Ikare Island. Lots of houses there, with private power and swimming pools. Would have loved to show the pools, but i'm sure you guys dont
want to see what my whole family looks like right?

Pic: One of such houses. Notice the local boy staring. Funny enough, the locals i spoke with were not Yoruba, they were Ghanaians! Was suprised. They spoke Awe language i believe its called. Disclaimer: I'm not saying the islanders were Ghanaians, just that they few i spoke with were Ghanaians.

Pic1: Another house: Notice the quad bike next to the pool
Pic2: View to the atlantic ocean

Well, that's all i can share!

Very nice pics...

Found four more pictures i can share.
Pic 1&2: VI skyline on our return path
Pic 3&4 arriving the docks at VI

Very lovely pix......SO EKO get beautiful skyline like dis.

the pictures are pretty cool

Very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing Whitehorse. I would love to visit Ikare Island someday. The truth is, if one has money Nigeria is the place to be. If I was filthy rich, there is no way I will live in the western world. What for? I will just visit there and come back. Anyways, it is well.

Hmmm, the sort of display of wealth you see in naija is shocking. If you are not carefully, you go back to your base feeling you are wasting your time abroad!

hey whitehorse, is the boat a rental or....? if so i hope you don't mind hooking man up with the details as i will like a sea ride sometime. and how much does it cost?



where is that ikare island exactly?

^^^
No, it was a private boat ride, boat belongs to a member of my family.
Well, as per the exact location of the Island, its unfortunate i did not take my GPS logger on that trip, i'd have given you exact latititude and longitude.

However, what the boat captain told me is that the Island is off the coast of Ojo. Ojo covers i believe from Trade fair to Maybe Alaba i think.
Sorry i really do not have the full location details

Whitehorse,

Can you please share details of the tour operator, boat hire location etc? I'd like to visit the Ikare island myself.

Fantastic adventures!
