I left island for Berger. I'm enjoying it

The light is stable

Food is super. I buy six raps of semo and eight meats for 1200 Naira. You can't buy this at Ajah at this price. I always add yoghurt/Milk/Malt to make it 2k per meal. Bro, i'm living the yankee life in Berger


I have piexpress for my mid day snacks

When i want to change dollar, i dash into the bank call my aobki, less than 45 -60 minutes i;m done

Men, i'm in Colorado in Berger

No issues at all

Alternative locations on the mainland that are close to the island include the following.

- Gbagada
- oworo
- Yaba
- costain
- ketu

You can get a decent apartment in a Serene environment in any of these areas, especially the 1st and the last.

ChristineC:
do you know that there are resorts as far as Ibeju that charge 250k per night?

FLESHnBLOOD:

YoungBlackRico:

jaytii:
Surulere for easy access to the Island and the MAINland
Ikeja if you don't mind Lagos traffic but 100% social life (Allen Avenue - you gerrit)

Ikorodu if you are a miser ("You think say you dey wise"
Mushin if you belong to the street and love the trenches (Who goes you)
Agege if you don't mind getting robbed or stabbed occasionally (Kuron beyen no)

That OJODU-BERGER axis is the best if you want cheaper and exclusive lifestyle in Lagos

Now don't laugh this off. This is a rather serious comparison as it's my first time in Lagos and as such my first time on the Island.

According to the topic, I will like readers especially those who reside in Lagos to share their opinions as to which of these major residential areas in Lagos is actually more value for money.

I've lived in the Ajah axis of Lagos Island for about 7 months and I can confidently tell you that I will not advise any newcomer to pay rent to live here. Electricity is bad, water is terrible, roads are bad too and for those who commute the Lekki-Epe express road daily know how hellish it can be when there is a surge in traffic.

Tbh, most people living on the island are suffering and smiling, even those who you think are well to do are having it worse.

I'm considering moving away from the Island and finding a serene environment on the mainland to live in. I heard that Magodo/Berger area is true, please how true is this? I will like readers who reside in Lagos to share their thoughts on other serene environments one can live in where one can get good basic amenities. This will definitely help other people as well. Thanks.

DryMouth:

If you see that same resort in lekki phase 1 den it would be 3m per night.

The criminal activities that goes on along those ibeju lekki, sangotedo, awoyaya, lakowe etc even more than that of Ajegunle

My salary can pay my house rent like ten times. Unlike Ajah where six months salary will be used in financing house rent where one would be contributing to the ladnlord's development at the expense of one's personal growth and development. In Ajah the annual rent feee is many people's 6-12 months slary, so they can't save. It's hand to mouth always

You eat too much...not insult please.

ChristineC:
but there's no resort taking such money on phase 1, that's why I said it's not a very informed statement.
besides, I mostly stay in ikoyi when I'm around and I can tell you for free that kidnapping is big business in lekki phase 1. you don't hear about it because friends and family would rather pay the ransom than publicize it.
I'm very involved in the real estate in that axis and in an area like the Golf Course Road for instance, you can't get a piece of land 100x50 for less than #35m.
the difference in real estate cost at Ibeju-Lekki compared with Eti-Osa right now is the poor roads. with time, it will be difficult for anyone who's a tenant in that area to cope.

DryMouth:

Lool!
Ignore that part i said 3m per night, i was jst exaggerating.

Abeg dnt hype anywhere that have passed that chevron road abeg. I stayed in awoyaya so i knw what am saying.
No wealthy person can stay in all useless part of the island

airsaylongcome:
OP, I advise you relocate to the mainland. Its cheaper and more spacious there. You get more value for money with cheaper rent and more commute time. Also there are more fun spots on the mainland and they are open way late into the night than on the Island. Island is for fake people. /s
