Stephen Keshi took us to the last world cup and we did well. We have the likes of Okocha, Ikpeba, Kanu and the host of others.

This is a good question; one which a lot of people coming and those even living in Lagos have not considered deeply. While no one can ultimately gun-force anyone to make this kind of move via NL, it's good people understand the pros and cons of such places. I am bias against Lagos Island, and so I will go first on why I prefer Lagos Mainland. I may come later to give the pros of living on Lagos Island in another post.

1.Power: It is true that inadequate power supply is a major issue in Lagos. But it can be very bad in Lekki. Some areas in Lagos enjoy more electricity than the French Riviera of Lagos. Well, you may say you will augment with generator, but the cost of servicing the fuel and buying diesel or fuel is thrice than what you will spend on the Mainland.

2.Tolls: Moving to Lekki also meant paying tolls. Daily commute on the Lekki-Epe Expressway and the Ikoyi link bridge mean that you have to spend more. By the end of his first month, as a family man or woman you could spend up to N20,000 just for paying told monthly on tolls.

3. School Fees: The private schools on the Island are some of the most expensive you can find in part of Lagos. Parents pay as much one million or more per session in some of the highbrows schools of Lekki. Even the middle level schools charge exorbitantly. But does expensive fees translates to good and quality education?

3. Security: Security in Lagos is pretty much challenging no matter where you live. However, living on the island typically attracts a higher security cost. The guards at your house will likely cost more. You also contribute regularly to estate or community security. It is also likely that you spend some money on security systems for your homes and properties as is typically the case in highbrow areas. These things can be very expensive.

4. Rent & Fees: Rent in any part of the Island are very prohibitive, even for low income earners. A flat in lekki can cost as much as 1.500 million and as low as 800,000 depending on the location. Even for a room or self-contained apartment, rent is very expensive.

5. Nature: Flooding is a constant threat for the people on the Island. For people living in Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Lekki and Ajah, flood is a major headache. So if you are planning to move, you must take into consideration that you may experience flooding when it rains.

6. Utilities: Electricity bills, water, refuse disposal, supermarkets, salons etc. all cost a lot more on the island. Things often cost slightly higher on the Island than on the mainland, largely due to the perception that those who live on the island are richer than most people who live on the mainland.

So if you are moving to Island, then you must be ready to pay more for your status change. If you have the money, I doubt you will want it any other way. If you don't, why bother?

Bolustic:
I have the feeling that someone is suffering from Stockholm syndrome?

How would a person who failed to construct the Second Niger Bridge as promised become your Hero?

I hope you aware that this train will not pass through the SE?

Tell me, what did you people gain(I mean capital projects) from your Hero apart from few appointment?

ionsman:
Kano pillars were champions of the Npl in 2013 and 2014, but the northerners didn't make noise. Igbo people always want to make noise over everything (check the comments).

P. S: I don't reply idiots.

I know they won't disappoint with their empty replies. You guys reek of inferiority complex... Shuu!


Anyone who criticizes you guys is an afonja...

God please purge these niggas of stupidity.

HtwoOw:
Funny people


Now. Buhari owes you favor?

The man you voted against massively,

the man you have been undermining his efforts through different sets of militants


The man you blew up pipelines, the heartbeat of this country for



If GEJ was a god as you claimed its less than 2 years he left I'm sure the asphalt roads be built for you didn't get spoilt or is it that he didn't do the roads?

So shooting stars fc lost one their defenders yesterday morning and the shooting stars management took it to social media to announce the death of one of their players. But in their post on social media bidding farewell to their player that they have just lost, they used a laughing and smiling emoji, making it seem like they are happy about the player's death.


It's only in Nigeria where you can see a Nigerian premier league teams make a post about a player's death and use a laughing and a smiling emoji in their post. (See pics below)
