Maybe you go me wrong, I am saying state the advantages/demerits of staying on the mainland/island

Oyindamolah:
Says who? Do you get payslip at the end the month?

eedhrisademola:
not @ all..

Ok.

There are no merits or demerits, per say. It all depends on the individual their preferences and peculiar circumstances.

For me, some things I hate about the island these days though are:

*Its getting more and more crowded than when we were growing up
*Traffic not only because of the crowd of residents but for the many visitors who come there for work and play
*Fake life; many pretentious people, living in poor overpriced accommodation, just to be able to say they live on the island.
*The water especially in Lekki axis has smell and taste, and you have to spend money on drinking and bathing water. I can’t even use my filter for it.
*Flooding during the rainy seasons and it is no respecter of locations as floods regularly hit Lekki, Ikoyi, VGC, VI and even banana island. And it’s not surprising because a lot of the island is sand filled land. Where I live on the mainland it can rain for a whole month and there will still be no flooding. The ground is high, the are wide drainages and the entire suburb is surrounded by a canal where all the water drains
*Related to the above, I suspect that there will be a major flooding or tsunami event, sometime in the near or far future and places like the island, which have been massively sand filled will be worst hit. As far back as the early nineties I remember an over flowing of bar beach that covered Ahamadu Bello Way and got as far as 1004.
*I also personally like where I live and work on the mainland cos I am 15 minutes from the local and international airports as well as Lagos Ibadan on the very rare occasion that I need to head out by road.

I hope with this few points of mine, I have been able to convince you why, I a former islander chose to become a full time mainlander.

Please Note: what works for me may not work for you.

HMO has never been free from the inception of the concept.

Pojomojo:

Let me explain it to you, a percentage is taken from your monthly gross salary amongst other deductions like tax, pensions, housing(in the case of FG workers).
I'm an FG worker so I know what I'm saying.
