What Are The Safest Parts Of Lagos?

LASISI, that got me Cracking.
That is not Bribery, that is lobbying which is total alright.

My fault for suggesting Maitama,  I failed to stick to the topic at hand.

magodo is safe

thats totally wrong,we v always lived in ikeja near g.r.a,in my house we have 3 opc and  2 normal securities and also at the street gate leading to ours they have  at least 5 mixture of opc and private securities,so trust me mopol or police unit will take off at the first sign of gun shots,the opc are even better, you don't wana know how much it is to get a house in ikoyi,theres a flat near my friend's house 2.2million per year to let 2 bedroom lol but i think lekki's more affordable, still checking it out tho

dude,we r not having a quarell now, if you check my postn i said i live in ikeja and my dad has some tenants round lekki and ikoyi and thats where i got my info from,the part of ikoyi where my friends stay macdonalds,queens,belgore , specifically where i was reffering to about the 2.2 million flat is in queens last time i went to see my friend there it was not finished totally and its owned by late stella obasanjo's family so please i know what im on about

Oshodi has to be the safest place. Reason: all the thieves leave from there and go to Ikoyi and V/I to rob; plus no one dares go to their den (oshodi) to rob.

Lagos is generally safe. But I'll advice that you avoid the police and don't take buses at night; okadas are safer at night.

You can make your as safe as you want - dogs, motion detectors, surveillance cameras, guns, ammo, etc. But the problem is when you go outside. The shorter your commute to work, grocery store, entertainment venue, etc. the less you're exposed to the possibility of harm. In essence, find a place closest to where you work.

Ajegunle

@ lusciouss
u've got to be kidding me, did I hear u say Ajegunle!!!

Omole Phase 2

try kikiri its safe, u wont get robbed and if u do at least u'd knw the peeps

nowhere in Lagos is safe or unsafe. but i know a few places,  i know areas in ikeja where robbies frequent and i know areas in n keja where robbies seem to not car about. my est8 for instance hasnt had any single case of unwanted guest in ages. am talking of wemabod estate(near wahum on adeniyi jones). aba jonston estate(akora) is a good place to stay too. heard some parts of lekki are safe but not all. my friends in magodo say good things about the place too. just that their light is not as good as ajegunle's. my friend runs on ngenerator all day and all night. i heard ikeja gra is safe too. ut i love my wemabod estate because only 1gate leads in nand out. and there are only 5streets. we have a police divisional headquaters in there. we don't get cases of robbies or touting. i call it vgc in ikeja.

@poster,

I think 'damola1' as said it all. if you consider working in the island, it will be ideal you live in the island because of traffic. Talking about safe areas on the island, most of the estate now in lekki and ikoyi are trying in terms of security but for now i will say V.G.C is where the highest security is deployed for now in terms of protecting resident. 'to live there is expensive thought' apart from security operatives deploy within and outside the estate;

They are the only estate for now in Nigeria where access control gate is been deploy. i.e the access control gate recognize all the resident cars and wont open for any non resident cars. if you a are visitor, you will need to pass through the security checkpoint where you will be screened and if entry is granted you will be monitor till you get to the house you re visiting, the time spent there till you leave. if entry is denied and you try to force entrance, 'your car is a write-off and a serious accident can occur and might endanger life courtesy of their access control bollard.

To crown it up, its only God that can safe guard us. there is no where that is not prone to attack by the 'big boys'

If you can live in New York city, You can live in Lagos.

Top 5 safe place to live for we poor people.

1. Ajegunle-Jungle city: Poor thif headquarters. This nah the area command of thieves. If you wan report a thif recruit, no go police station oh, go here .
A recriut found thieving will lose his thieving priviledges and will never thif again. The ultimate price for thieving in this area is jungle justice by shouting OLE!!!!!.

2. Kirikiri: Come see how thif dey die for here nah. Becos of this, plenty thif for Kirikiri dey on reserve and retired status . This nah the only place you go find sey even police sef nah thif.

3. Oshodi: Thif wey no from Oshodi no dey thif from here. Whether nah Alaye oh, abi area father, you go find them in different shapes, tribes and specialities practising some form of thievery. Just show your membership badge (eyes like person wey smoke plenty gbana, severely contoured head, no front teeth, your jagudaness) and you fit tiff the whole oshodi safely all you want.

4. Okota: If you think only strong christains do night vigil, come to Okota after 7 and see wonders. A trial will convice you.  .

5. Iyanoba: Awon University thieves. As many hold-ups you jam here, as many thieves dey this place. This nah where the school for highway thievery dey.

Iyanoba School of Thievery offers courses in Applied klept. studies, Mechanical break ins and Stealth robbery all at a no charge sign up fee.

So where poor man go live for?   

 I will recommend Island- ikoyi, victoria island, lekki but in Mainland- Ikeja GRA and magodo is okay. you are welcome to motherlan! home is where it's happening ma bro. Safe!

No safe area in Lagos, na only GOD dey safe us , well you can come over to Mushine, its a rugged area but i bet you its damn save , Isolo or Papa Ajao area of Mushin are abit cool, Mushin is safe because its the root of HULIGANS, so you`re at peace, chicken don't eat other chicken corps, or BETA go live KWARA STATE, GRA, Tanke areas of Ilorin are the collect area i`v ever been, or probably LEKKI AJAH in Lagos for LUXUry ~~~ GUDLUCK

I have doubts about safety in Lagos because even if u're safe in your house, What of when you go out ?.
