Gamesmart:


Please which are the best 10 Lounges in Ibadan in your view and why?

BKayy:
So you people have finally agreed that a lot of people are trooping out of Lagos.

Factoryfitted:
The whole place is seriously overhyped.

You scramble for everything - space, fresh air, time, quiet, peace of mind.

I was raised in lagos. Lagos was good during my youth years. Then the express was filled with cars on high speed till brt came and caused current traffic. Lagos was really cool. Then I left to complete my HND in delta. At first I didn't like the idea of migration, I was always boasting about lagos. When I returned during fashola 2nd tenure I spotted lots of differences. Traffic was hell, dirt all over and the air didn't seem fresh like it used to.
Its was still better then. Now e don worse. Lastma, holdup, abgero(owo da). I hate driving in lagos one day I drove from sheraton to computer Village with a flat tyre. Fear no let me part change am.
Cost of rent is another dimension. I currently live in delta, my rent is 180k for a self contain with lots of cool features (large parking space, fully fenced, water heater, mighty wardrobe and is located in a cool civilised area. Just imagine Maryland with modern houses. If its lagos for a house like that will cost around 360 to 500k.

Any time I visit lagos I always can't wait to leave cuz its a hell hole. Life is complex and expensive. I find it hard to believe its the same lagos u grw up. Person dey lag dey earn pass me but the wahala of Lagos made me look like i earn more than he does. And the traffic is worse. U can't have a flat tyre and have peace of mind. Where I am if u have a flat tyre there's always some passer by thats willing to assist but for lagos just park to receive call (owo da) boys will storm u with threats. Lagos is fuucked

I came to Lagos with only a bag at my back 12 years ago from Imo state after selling off my house properties (Chairs, TV etc) and a small toyota I owned.

Actually, I just decided one day to relocate to Lagos after all the struggles in the east and I have never been to Lagos before and know no one except that I had an aunt that reside in a remote location.
The plan was to start life afresh with the money I raised from the sales. It was an audacious move (don’t even know the spirit that possessed me to think of such a tricky journey) becaue if I fail I am finished but.... The rest they say is history.

I know many Futo colleagues that came to Lagos after school and are earning big and making it as well.

Thanks Fashola, Ambode and Lagosians!

If you fail to give honor to whomever honor is due.... you know the rest

My guys Lagos is what it is, firstly it depends on what you have in mind and secondly it will take the grace of God, Lagos is not easy...when I came to Lagos last year march I saw Lagos as the last state I will ever go to settle down, if I ever want to travel again it will be out of the country so when I came to Lagos it wasn't easy been someone that does not have any closer family member except a cousin who really even cares about someone.

So when I arrived I stayed three weeks without a job and in that three weeks how I eat is that I wash clothes for my cousin and he dashes me 500 naira, Omo hunger knack me like trailer, there was a time I had to go two days without food I nearly catch ulcer.

So I befriended a guy that works in a guest house who linked me to a place where his gf works (factory work) and the pay was 1000/day and they pay every two weeks but they don't work on weekends, I managed the place for a month then got another job where all we do is loading and it's a steady night job but the pay was better (12k a week) but na die cos u will be feeling like train jam you after every nights work, men it wasn't easy at all. So I did that one for good one year but glory be to God last month I got a call from a job I applied for since last year June that I should come for interview and lo and behold it was successful and I have resumed with a pay of 108k, it can only get better if you believe.

So far so good Lagos has been kind.

U dnt need to tell him..na jjc him be...only those born n bred up in Lagos know sup about Lagos not All this jjc...Lagos na training ground for some people if u cn survive lag then u cn survive anywhere in d world..

I've only ever stayed on the island. Never stayed on the mainland in my life but VI is dirtier than Cantonments or Osu in Accra.

Abuja is better laid out that even the best parts of Lagos. Many of you mistake population and size for greatness.

And no other west African economic hub has as many people just loitering the street as in Lagos or as many slum areas as Lagos.


P.S.
Presumptuous statements about an individual and ad hominem attacks are for the weak.

Answer this question, which economy is better between Lagos and Accra economy?

Dukeolumidemans:


Sorry my brother about ur late Mom. It's a lovely place. The story u hear outside is that the violence there is too much but ironically, it's very calm depending on the area u live.

Honestly, I don't know some of their names...I just know their locations, and go there when I want to relax with friends. But also, I am more of a Bar person.

In no particular order...some my favorite bars/clubs to visit.

1. The bar/lounge downstairs Ventura Mall in Samonda
It is very classy. It has outside and inside lounge. The service is top notch, and it is not a noisy place. I don't like loud music when I hang out, and I like that they play music at a low volume, and noisy people don't come there.

2. Lounge in a Clos/dead-end street, directly opposite Platnum (Bodija)
As I said, I don't know the names of most of these places, so, I can only give good description. Platnum is one of the most popular clubs in Ibadan, but I don't like loud music, so I don't really go there. But there is a lounge I go to in a close, directly opposite Platnum. It is on the left side, just after 4-5 houses from the beginning of the dead-end street. There is a Redeem church, then a very quiet bar, then a law office, and then the lounge. The lounge is well lit up (you can't miss it), and there is a tree outside.

I like the place because it is classy. The outside lounge is roofed, and it has synthetic grass. I like the classy wood furniture. Then they have a VIP section, which is an indoor lounge. And they also have a nice restaurant. It's a real cool place.

3. Best Western Hotel Pool side
The Best Western hotel at Iyagankun has a lovely poolside bar...there are TVs outside showing muted music videos, and they play music too...not so loud.

4. Switch
Formally Bubbles, now Switch. It is along Ring Road, close to Challenge. It's well lit up...you can't miss it on that road. I like sitting upstairs, where I can see cars driving by Ring Road.

5. Downstairs Shoprite/De Palms Mall... along Ring Road.
There is a Shoprite/De Palms Mall along Ring Road...There is a lounge downstairs the place. Cool spot. I haven't gone there since after the Pandemic, so I can't say much about it.

6. Pool side at Koko Dome
I love the pool side at the famous Koko Dome (beside Cocoa house). I love the cool ambience of the place. I can't swim, but I love watching people swim. Some times they have a one band band play music, or they just play normal music. It is not very loud music...and the place is not always crowded, that's why I like it.


Those are all the places I can speak on for now...I go there fairly regularly, when I have time to relax, even though I don't know some of their names. I hope I have been of some type of help.

Na person say make u go stay for alagbole area?

Factoryfitted:


Lolz. Bros, first of all, I no dey stay for alagbole area. Second of all, whether u dey keke o, you dey Range or G-wagon, all of Una dey the traffic together. Even with your escort and all.

And even for Ikoy or Lekki or Surulere, name the place, the air quality na the same. As u get
heavily polluted air for Olodi na so u get for Ikoyi. Except say u dey talk of BI or VGC. So which place undey talk of exactly?

Banbanna:


You're sounding like Frank Sinatra's song about New York, "if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere".

You're overexagerating. Come on! It isn't that bad. I also moved out of Lagos because of the wahala, but that part you mentioned right there is an exaggeration. My fuel finished last week when I was in Lagos to see my parents...it was around the same Sheraton you spoke about, and I left it there, with the hazard lights on, and went to look for fuel. Where you wan see agbero for Mobolaji Bank Anthony road? Even Oshodi sef, Agberos won't disturb you, when you're not driving commercial bus. Stop misinforming people with what you read on Nairaland.
