Not encouraging.

This is possibly because most fascinating Art Galleries are located on the Island. You can share your views on best Galleries in the mainland here.

Hanging out in a museum may seem weird to some people, but it is one of the best experiences for me. Now that it is festive season, don't hesitate to visit the museum with your partner or even your family.

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
– Thomas Merton

There’s a feeling art brings that’s hard to put into words. From brushstrokes of paint to lines made by graphite to art installations. Art lives and breathes and infects all who behold it with a sense of awe and amazement. The Lagos art scene has seen a steady rise over the past few years with increased awareness of the immeasurable value of beautiful artworks. New artists are bursting on the scene, and the consumer base of art in Lagos is growing rapidly. Top-notch exhibitions are being held week in week out at classy galleries that create the perfect viewing experience. If you love art and live in Lagos, these 7 art galleries should be on your must-see list.

Rele Gallery, Onikan

This quaint art gallery located on the Lagos Island is right at home amidst some of Nigeria’s longstanding art houses including the National Museum. Always buzzing with a slight crowd of young and vibrant art lovers, the Rele experience is one not so quickly forgotten.
This space is an unprecedented, unconventional, contemporary art space that offers first-rate African contemporary art for public consumption. The art on display is constantly pushing boundaries and redefining art as we know it challenging us to find meaning beyond the most apparent.

Omenka Gallery, Ikoyi

Ikoyi has its fair share of fine architecture and art evident in everyday structures. This means your sensibilities are already heightened before you even step into Omenka. This leading art gallery in Nigeria with its fine selection of established and emerging contemporary Nigerian and international artists working in diverse media continues to serve up a treat every time you visit.
The gallery is located within the home of celebrated Nigerian artist, Ben Enwonwu MBE, NNOM (1917-94) which lends to its historical and cultural significance. It consists of an exhibition area and a second space, housing one of the finest collections of the artist’s works.

Nike Gallery, Lekki

As soon as you walk into the Nike Gallery, you are immersed into a world of colour and culture. Lagos is her muse and the intricate sculptures, batiks and paintings that litter the gallery tell the story of the lively, chaotic fast-moving city. No one would ever use words like “pleasant” or “relaxing” in reference to the commercial capital of West Africa and the artworks capture the essence of the city: the order in chaos.
Whether you are a specialist in the arts, an enthusiast of African arts or merely interested in a brief immersion in a new culture, Nike offers the opportunity to see Nigeria with fresh eyes.

Terra Kulture, Victoria Island

Since its establishment in 2004 by respected businesswoman and art connoisseur, Bolanle Austen-Peters to promote the richness and diversity of Nigerian Languages, Arts and Culture, Terra Kulture has become the premier recreational destination for those looking for an immersive and definitive Nigerian cultural experience.

The art gallery has tantalising artworks that are quite refreshing and educational.

Mydrim Gallery, Ikoyi

Art is more than just beauty. Mydrim celebrates the artist’s liberty to express real, surreal and abstract situations. It provides stimulating and educating pieces that embody nature and the essence of art in human life. You’re welcomed into the gallery by relief sculptures on the border walls that subtly guide you to the richer art experience that awaits inside the building.
The richness of African culture captured in high-quality works of art are plastered all over the walls. Passion, wealth and beauty come together in a superb blend that’s mesmerising to take in. It’s an art lover’s delight.

Red Door Gallery, Victoria Island

A distinctly marked red door welcomes you to Red Door Gallery (that’s kinda obvious isn’t it) and after that point, it’s best to let your aesthetic senses take over. Founded and driven by the belief that art is the ultimate form of expression of man’s innermost thoughts, the art on show strives to give an insight into the mind of its creators.
An overflow of creativity that’s uninhibited by the ramifications of “predictable art” is the hallmark of the gallery and you’re bound to be intrigued by this unique collection. One of the largest private art gallery spaces in Nigeria, Red Door serves collectors, consultants, artists and art enthusiasts alike.

The Nimbus Gallery, Bogobiri House, Ikoyi

Nimbus is nestled above the new Bogobiri Art House and boasts a contemporary space and terrace for weekly art exhibitions. The gallery and terrace are the ideal places to view exciting new art while enjoying a quiet drink in the most serene atmosphere well away from the madding crowd of the Lagos metropolis.
The modern art gallery, outdoor restaurant and live music stage attracted talented artist and musicians from all over the world. The unending list of famous visitors to the Nimbus includes ; Tony Allen, Jeremy Vine, Richard Quest, Damon Albarn, Asa, Dbanj, Tola Wewe, Ben Osawe and many other leading artists and musicians in Nigeria.

You can also purchase some of the art on display if you want to spruce up your home. Of course, the design of your home is crucial in fitting art into it. You don’t just want the art hanging on a wall, you want it to command attention and add a dash of colour and vibrancy to your decor. Don’t let this stop you from fully enjoying the viewing experience – buying can come later.

I am still trying to be optimistic about the whole situation. But what the one month delay has done is to destroy the confidence of participants and when people stop providing help, the scheme folds up. So many people have lost confidence in the scheme so it will be difficult for people to recoup their money, however, I am still optimistic.

Nice one

I think the MMM thingy is a lesson for all Nigerians, we are yet to confirm its crash, but still it's time to start investing in tangible assets. You can get a piece of land in Oyo state for as low as 100k. Click on the link below, be patient to scroll down and look through;

So many Nigerians believe that buying or building a house is one of the best investments to make with their retirement savings. It’s a beautiful idea but if not well planned, it may be the worse decision they have ever taken. This is because these funds are not continuous and investing it wisely is a great gain, vice versa. And besides, there are other tangible investments that you can do with your retirement savings. We will look at ways to enjoy your pension funds on a long term goal rather than suffer loss at the end of any investment. But trust me, real estate is a good investment but you must know how. Below are the top five real estate investment tips that can help you maximize your retirement savings in Nigeria;

Owning a Property Before Retirement is not a Bad Idea

Owning a house in your 30’s or 40’s is a fabulous idea, so plan ahead. It’s not an easy thing to do because most working class people have a lot of responsibilities, from family to in-laws, to rent to transportation and so many other things. You can try your hands on a few other businesses before retirement. You can use the proceeds from such to get a property.

The benefit of owning a property before retirement is that, by the time you get your retirement funds, you are free from paying rent, so you have all your money to yourself. Now, investing in real estate will be a channel of gain for you. You can decide to buy or build a house. The property you acquire should be one that brings you gain. So go for a property in a good location. Buy or build a house that can accommodate tenants. Thus, the rent from your house will be used for your upkeep.

It’s not too Late if You Don’t Own a Property

One thing that I have realized is that you can own a property at any age. So if you feel dejected that you do not own a property before retirement, it’s not too late. However, you need to start planning to own one before you finally get your pension. Get a property that your pension can afford you. This is because, since you are investing your pension, if you start building something too big, you may not be able to complete it. You may also have to take out your rent from your pension, so you have a lesser amount of money. If you cannot afford to build a four flat that can accommodate three tenants plus your family, then, you can build or buy a house with three self-contain apartments. Make sure that the property is in a very good location.

This will also help you to generate funds for upkeep. But this may not be really much, so even if you can afford to build a four flat, you can decide to build something smaller and invest the remaining funds in a small business that generates day-to-day income.

Have You Thought of Shopping Complexes

This may be a fabulous idea if you already own a property before retirement. Owning a shopping complex is one of the most lucrative and untapped real estate opportunities. However, to do this, you may have to spend a lot of money on location. Building a shopping complex may gulp up your pension. You may even have to add your other savings to make it happen. But trust me, at the end, you will be glad that you did. It is one of the best real estate properties to own.

If you want this, then start having a picture of the structure and the location of your shopping complex in your head. One beautiful thing about owning a shopping complex is that you can sell out units of your shops to other people, get bulk money and still own other shops. It is a branch of commercial real estate.

Investing in Plots of Land is Fabulous

In Nigeria today, buying a piece of land is one of the most profitable enterprises. So if you have properties before, you don’t just want to invest in building houses. Then, you can buy acres of land and just sell later. This takes a process anyways. You need to verify the land that you want to buy. It must have all the documents required. You must also try to secure your land by fencing round with a gate or building a small structure on it.

This is one of the easiest ways to make money. Real estate is like a money bank where you keep your money and you are sure to generate over 200% profit in a short time. Lands right now in the new EPZ (Export Processing Zone) is a profitable investment, Dangote is going to move about well over 20,000 to 50,000 people towards that zone.Those people have to live somewhere. Right now the plot of land with documentation will cost about two million Naira.

You Can Commercialize Residential Properties

This is a beautiful idea that can help you stay healthy and make money. The fact that you have retired does not mean that you should sit at home or stay in a shop all day. You can create an enterprise and make so much money and be so fit. Have you considered owning a school, a creche, and event management company, an event centre, a photography studio, or a fashion house? It is very easy. If you have more than one properties before retirement, you can commercialize one of them. If you have a passion for teaching a school will be a very good idea. You don’t even have to own two properties before commercializing one, you just need to have a plan. So if you own a residential apartment, you can decide to invest in building another one and commercialize the former.

And if you don’t have any before, you can invest in a property that has both residential and commercial advantage. How? Simple, you can invest in a block of four flats and use to flats for a school and a fashion house or whatsoever suits your passion. This way you get active, meet people and do business.

Agege should be number 1

I don't think so

The Ministry of Defence (MOD), says it is partnering with Blueberry Integrated Concept, a construction consultant, to build 50,000 housing units for its staff across the country.


The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Ambassador Danjuma Shani, announced the plan at a One-day Convention of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, MOD chapter, in Abuja on Tuesday. November 29, 2016. Shani who was represented by Mrs. Meteden Huda, the Director, Human Resources Management in the ministry, said shelter was one of the key instruments of human life, adding that shelter began with human development. Shani explained that any civil servant who retired without having a roof over his or her head may end up being frustrated.


This is what facilitated the ministry’s decision to partner with the company to enable it to secure affordable houses for its staff before retirement age.
“The joy of every civil servant is to have a house of his/her own before retirement in order to make life easy for him/herself and family’’
Shani expressed confidence in the ability of the partnering company to deliver the housing units on schedule.

Group Managing Director of the company, Mr. Sanusi Garba said its partnership with Ministry of Defence was to provide affordable houses to its staff.
“We hope to deliver 3,000 houses to the staff of the ministry at Karshi, 2,000 in Nasarawa and 45,000 in other states of the federation. It is to be called `Defence City Estate. The master plan indicates that in each state of the federation, we will build 1000 housing units and the completion period is 46 months.”

“We are bringing our partners that have funds from China and other parts of the world. We will provide land and other logistics for the partners and when they are done we hand over the houses to Federal Mortgage Bank. The bank will buy them and in turn sell to the staff. They will be deducting the amount directly from the beneficiaries’ salary’’, he said.

Mr. Suleiman Mshela, Chairman of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria in the ministry, said housing need was as old as the history of man.
“Shelter is the most fundamental needs of man. In the ministry, we have not been fortunate to have had an estate called Defence City Estate. Since the government cannot do it all alone, we took the initiative to look inward since the best thing that can happen to our members is to own a home’’, he said.

adeoba2008:
Mushin is one of the best. I am a living witness to that

cool

Good one. Thank you Governor Ambode

mapet:


Interestinq question. My humble submissions are these

1. The scheme is very helpful and necessary to bridge the housing gap. Without schemes like these many will not be able to afford a house, even on the long run. Obviously the scheme is tailored to some socialist and capitalist countries housing scheme

2. Will I advise anyone to participate. The answer is relative. First off, the choice is exclusively with the individual, whether to own a house or not, whether to buy a fully built house or to build from the scratch. These choices are informed by many factors, one of it is the poser raised - Availability of a bulk-sum cash (N25m in this context). My wife and I built our house from the scratch. It took us 5years to complete. Why? because we did not want to be subjected to the "weight" of expensive mortages and private bank schemes. That "5years" was a harrowing, challenging and very tough experience, but it is history now. It is more like compressing a 15-20yr interest into 5yrs. So personally I went for something more challenging than the Lagos Rent-to-own scheme

3. Now there is no life without it's attendant risks. Yes you may loose your job, or some other mishap may happen. But that is just one of the probabilities. Have you consider the positives? What if your earning power changes along the line and you walk up to Lagos state government to request for a bigger scheme and renegotiate your terms? What is you even opt to cash-out along the line and use the money to buy a bigger house? My approach to life is that we keep moving on with a positive mindset and when we get to trouble waters we, solve it

beautiful. *thumbs up

helpee:
which baruwa are you talking about? if it is the one i know after abesan estate then you obviously sat down in your room to compile this without any form of investigation? Baruwa is not by any standard cheap

But Ipaja generally is one of the places in Lagos that you can get a 3 bedroom flat from 350k. https://www.tolet.com.ng/property-for-rent/lagos/ipaja?utm_source=nairaland&utm_campaign=nairaland_9_12_2016&utm_medium=blog

Baruwa of which year ,forget that thing ,houses in Baruwa are not cheap anymore

It's still very cheap compared to other places in Lagos.

The Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme (Lagos HOMS), built to encourage Low-Income Earners has not been without its own shortcoming. The Scheme which was handed over to Governor Ambode by the preceding Governor has witnessed many phases of developments. No doubt, it has also attracted comments from a lot of social commentators as regarding the cost and some questionings if the scheme was actually meant for low-income earner, which some real estate stakeholders claimed it was too expensive for.

Governor Ambode on his own path is doing his best to make sure that tax paying Lagosians benefit from the scheme. At a point, he broke down the payment to a yearly payment. Later, he broke it down to a monthly payment scheme. Thus, we can sense consistent efforts by him to make the homes available to low-income earners indeed. To ease the tension of the recession, he has slashed the price again.

Due to the economic downturn, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has slashed price regime of houses under Lagos Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme, Lagos HOMS, to allow residents apply for the scheme specifically when rent-to-own scheme commence December 9. Vanguard gathered that the scheme which commenced under the previous administration was yet to be fully subscribed, even with the introduction of raffle and other strategies earlier.

With the reduction, two-bedroom flat, which was N7.2 million has been reduced to N3.5 million, while the one bedroom reduced to N2.3 million. Also, the room and parlor unit has also been reduced to N1.5 million. Ambode, who announced the review in prices while inspecting Sir Micheal Otedola Housing Estate in Odoragunshin, Epe and other ongoing construction within the axis on Monday, added that over 1, 000 additional housing units have been injected into the pool of housing units earlier provided by the state government. He explained that due to the economic recession, his administration felt the need to review the housing policies, saying it was the reason for the new policies which we aimed to ensure that housing is affordable to Lagosians.

Commissioner for Housing, Gbolahan Lawal, stated that the social welfare policy of the present administration in the face of the current economic downturn necessitated the need for the rent-to-own policy.

This is good news for Lagosians who never felt they can ever own an apartment in Lagos.

I have put this together because residential estates on the mainland are either unpopular or unrecognised. The fact that everybody is drifting to the Island does not mean that; there are no good apartments for timbres and calibres on the mainland.

A residential estate is a group of homes and other buildings built together as a single development. Accordingly, a housing estate is usually built by a single contractor, with only a few styles of house or building design, so they tend to be uniform in appearance. Most people already assume that residential estates are very expensive, because of the benefits that come with them. The good news is, residential estates on the mainland are not as expensive as those on the Island and you still tend to enjoy the same benefits.

Below is a list of carefully selected residential estates on the Lagos mainland;

Orchid Court, GRA Ikeja

Is a combination of elegant apartments built to top unique architectural standards with European-standard finishing materials. There are 7 different types of residential units to choose from at “Orchid Court“ each with its unique view and serene spatial arrangement.

The Developers RT Briscoe are one of the most reputable high-end developers of residential and commercial properties. If you want to live in the creme de la creme suburb of Lagos. Mingle with the Rich, the Powerful and the Socialite, in IKEJA GRA. To Nigerians in diaspora, this is Manhattan in New York or West Hampstead in London.

What amount should one budget? Just tell me anyone you know of. Thank you.

The cheapest self-contain I have seen is in Lugbe. It is 80,000 NGN I was wondering if I was lost or if it is really in Abuja. The property is available for rent online and you can check out it's features. here's the link https://www.tolet.com.ng/property/1-bedroom-mini-flat-self-contain-for-rent-lugbe-sub-urban-district-abuja-E1512?utm_source=nairaland&utm_campaign=nairaland_7_12_2016&utm_medium=blog .

There are also other very affordable flats in the areas listed above that are very cheap. Check out the links here: https://www.tolet.com.ng/blog/top-10-most-affordable-abuja-homes-for-everyone/?utm_source=nairaland&utm_campaign=nairaland_7_12_2016&utm_medium=blog

Even @ that. It is still too exorbitant.

For low income earners, those in civil service, either state or FG.

Which state govt pays it's workers above 150k?

Let's peg it @ 150k, by 1yr is 1.8million by 10yrs is 18million it is not even up to the 25million, assume, those workers pay in all the salaries into the housing scheme, Ee still no do.


As such, it is not attainable because the people they are targeting(low income earners) can not even afford it. Thus, it will still end up with high income earners and politicians.

You don't have to buy the one for 25 million , you can buy a more affordable one

I don't think so, except you have all the documents requested for. And you need to reside in Nigeria to get them.

@Post,

With the prevailing market rates of building materials, I applaud Lagos State if they are really able to deliver finished accommodation (at the right quality) for as low as N1.5m, and no higher than N25m, albeit flats.

Before we harangue further, it will be pertinent to wait for the breakdown of the selling price vis a vis the respective locations. Thereafter, we can compare the LASG proposed selling price with that of the private developers in that area.

Low income earners will obviously be able to benefit from the low range houses. The upper range will be very beneficial to mid income earners who pay exorbitant rents in Surulere, Lekki and related environs where these houses will be cited.

Kudos again to LASG.

Thank you o. Pls tell them

First of all, this is not fot low income earners, its for people earning from 200 and above because i don't see a level 4 to 5 civil servant being able to afford that shit. In the first place, where e get 1.5m as initial deposit or didnt i read that right? 25m to be paid in 10yrs thats around 113k per month, how many "low income earners" can afford that in these recesion age? Yet they claim to be helping.... Abegie! Its just another sham to bury people in perpetual debt. #Godsavelagocians/nigeria

Did you realise that some of the apartments cost 1.5 million Naira, and they are going to pay for so long. so if they pay 15,000 NGN in a month, they would have finished paying before ten years

You are wrong...

60% of Nigerians live in face me I face you, (room or room and parlour) not 3bedroom flats.

Most of these face me I face you are in shitty locations as you wrote.

So take time to get off your high horse and remember that there is a low income group living in Nigeria. Poor people. The masses...

Have you been to your driver or office cleaner or security man's house ever...

But you can still get good apartments at higly reasonable prices, the mission is to reduce the hardship when it comes to housing in Lagos.

N25m is enough to build a three bedroom bungalow in Ajah, including the required one plot of land with solar powered borehole and regular power supply.

And will you pay for the house in ten years, in installments with your salary?
