Go for the BQ on the island.

BunbleBee:
Hello Lagosians!

So I work somewhere within Adeola Odeku, VI, Lagos and I'm considering getting an apartment. My budget is 700k for total package.

I have explored getting a self contained apartment on the mainland especially within Yaba (Ebute Metta, Alagomeji, Adekunle, Sabo) but good houses within this budget are scarce these selected areas. The available ones tend to be around Onike, Akoka which will increase my commute time.

Recently, I have been checking some available self cons ( kinda BQ) within Lekki (Ikate, Agungi) and they seem to fall with my budget.

So guys in terms of cost of transportation and commute time, which do you think would be better to consider.

Plenty thanks as you respond.

I think if you are single, stay on the island

Over time before you get married you will understand the cost of living in both areas

But for me, food items and cheap markets are good on the mainland

That's why i said if you are single but if you are married stay on the mainland

There is no way you can leave Island for Mainland. There is decorum in the Island than Mainland most especially those Mainland agbero.

And when raising a family, Ssland is far better than Mainland.

Well I was considering his income and the future economic factor

When you talk of Agbero, they are every where both island and mainland

Yaba seems closer to VI I think once you cross the bridge, than Lekki to VI , I no too sabi.

Very true especially the food items you mentioned.

BunbleBee:
Very true especially the food items you mentioned.

That's the most important thing to consider when settling down

Source of cheap raw food is as important as electricity

Mainland Agbero dey learn work for where Island Agbero dey rake.. You think all parts of Island are posh? Pray not to get caught in Island Agbero fracas one day... You will know the real meaning of being caught between the devil and Atlantic ocean
