i'm looking to rent a property in lagos for a business, but i dont live in naija . i know allen avenue, ikeja area is a bit decent, but i was wondering what ogba is like, as i have seen a lot of better deals posted in this area. is it a decent place (compared to allen) or just another ghetto. thanks

n also, i'm looking in this area (ikeja) coz it seems to be around my budget. the island is overpriced

Ikeja, Ogba are all ok but your business may actually determine your location.

It will depends on your kinda biz like thirdeye has suggested, and your targeted clients.
However, Ikeja is always a better option, closer for people in the mainland, and suburb.

does this mean ikeja and ogba are two totally different places, coz from ads posted, it gives the impression that ogba is in ikeja

i'm starting a video and audio production studio. from my findings, the ikeja area will be a viable location, but i'm concerned about selecting an area that has no inferior repute for being lowly or something, so i can attract an upscale clientele (celebs) as well as upcomers.

this biz doesnt really require a chaotically busy or noisy area. maybe bout 65% commercial and 35% residential.

thanks for ur responses, but i need more

As far as i know, ogba is more better and cheaper a place for your
kind business as the main ikeja is fully commercialised
and you would likely have parking problems except maybe
if you want to try agindingbi, ikeja central business district
which i believe would most ideal for you.
