Where is Yaba Left?

Lagos should be a sovereign explicitly different from the other parts of Nigeria.

Things are different here and some other states can only envy.

Despite Abuja being the FCT, there is hardly any sane state governor that doesn't visit Lagos at least once every quarter.

Lasgidi.... People can only hate; we can only succeed.

How can you not mention Awolowo Road, Ikoyi?

Many of Nigeria's biggest tv stars and most famous businessmen lived on Awolowo Road in the 1970s and '80's (don't forget that the Presidency was located on Ribadu Road, off Awolowo Road). It became the home to most of the best shops in Nigeria in the mid-1980s to mid-1990's. Then the banks took over in the 1990s and now the shops are back.

It has some of the most expensive real estate in Lagos.
