Move to Surulere. Surulere is very central and easily accessible. Down to the island from Surulere is less than an hour long journey.

Surulere to orile to festac and to Badagry is very accessible. Surulere to Oshodi too is within reach. Surulere is your best bet.

You're on point.

Lagos Island is not the Island we are talking about. I'm talking about lekki, ikate, Chevron, etc. My friends just moved from their one bedroom of 300k on the mainland to a 2 bedroom of 1.5m. And they said they were lucky to find it that cheap.

Rent is unnecessarily high. Yet, they don't have good water. If you don't have a car, moving around won't be easy. School fees is higher there. The price of fiod stuffs in the market there is another issue. Cost of living there is generally high.

That kind of lifestyle doesn't encourage saving, except you really have more than enough.

Since Badagry's prospects have been very much under-utilised as you stated in your rejoinder, then why do u advice young upwardly mobile people to go and live there?

Sometimes the level of I.Q that some Nigerians exhibit especially on this forum, in a bid to sound intelligent, actually makes them come out as being stupid
It is the mentality of people like you that makes most places in Africa underdeveloped, and many people very appallingly poor.
Your thought-process is not radically efficacious enough to effect positive change that could lead to development.
Those places have the prospect of being industrial, and as such be better for a future megacity with multibillionaire personal GDP.
Or do you think billionaires in dollars came up by chance or wishful thinking?
Forget being mobile; in life, better living is the goal.
A place with a better prospect like badagry satisfies such outcome.

Ps: you should wisen up and stop showing signs of people with poor outlook of life.

No disrespect bro, your statement is what is ludicrous because you don't even know what you're typing.

What do you mean by the bolded? If you mean internally generated revenue (IGR) go and do your research and you'll discover all states generate theirs. Some states generate more than others, due to more commercial activities.

Now I'm sure you don't know some states in the north have more IGR than some states in the south.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/11/states-fct-half-year-igr-rises-22-to-n849bn/amp/

https://www.dataphyte.com/chart-of-the-day/chartoftheday-10-states-with-the-highest-internally-generated-revenue-in-h1-2021/?amp_markup=1

Lemme even ask you, how many state have you traveled in Nigeria?
No one disputes the fact that every state generates its igr.
It is just that more than 78% igr is generated by the south. But unevenly distributed to some states with low igr.

The fact that you don't know when a situation appears ludicrous, makes your retort, and defense reek of utmost ludicrousness and acute ridiculousness.

The top 10 states with highest IGR in the link you provided yourself states 9 states from the south, and only 1 out of the 10 is from the North.
A situation where a region provides 9.
And the other providers only 1.
What does that tell you?
Isn't a case of the higher one feeding the poorer one?

You are insinuating that some states have more igr than some in the south.
And you dishonourably forgot that only Lagos has more igr than more than 15 whooping states in the north

Little wonder the north never want the south to leave or Nigeria to disintegrate!
The parasites always attach themselves to their host in any means possible either by hook or by crook.
Such situation above best ancentuates and defines completely what a parasite the north is to the south.

In your frantic effort to turn the truth by its head, further evinces the truth more.

the bolded in color red absolutely makes all what you typed arrant and beautiful nonsense.

Do you think IGR is the same with VAT that is distributed to other states? Imagine the sheer ignorance you just displayed in full HD.

Have you been to Epe, offland right? Nothing like stress here, Easy on the fallacy of hasty generalization.

I live on the mainland ojodu berger near road safety and I have my peace of mind. Steady power supply (#10,000 prepaid takes me a month plus), clean water, good security.
Bro, island is for those who have concrete reasons for staying on the island....such as the island "connection".....those in showbiz industry and real estate business.

False,After Ajah,there is Thomas estate,Abraham Adesanya,Ogombo,Sangotedo,Fara Park,Down to Lakowe and Bogije are developing with the speed of light.Infact these places are were the new lagos is headed right now. Have you seen the area around Blenco in Sangotedo,the malls,hotels,residences ? When you are not familiar with the island you may never understand how it is there. Island has segments,you choose where you can afford or based on purpose.

quote author=Karleb post=111097597]

350k annually for room and parlor! Omo! shocked

The day I went to that Eleko, I did not even get to the address I was given before turning back to mainland.

Anything after Ajah in that island, na bush you dey go so.

Eleko is bleeping far!

Mainland sef get levels.
Ikeja is in LM.
Surulere is in LM.
Yaba is in LM.
Magodo is in LM.
Go and ask of house rent in these places and you'll understand.
They cannot be compared to places in Sangotedo towards Awoyaya to Lakowe, Bogije, Onosa, Ibeju which are still on the Island.
Rent depends on a lot of factors.
You just need to look for what suites you.
Type and age of building, condition of roads, proximity to certain facilities and neighborhoods are all factors that determine rent in Lagos.
I currently pay 580,000 naira annually for a 2-BR apartment somewhere on the island.
I have a friend who's paying 1.3 million naira for the same house configuration, also on the Island.
And it takes under 15 minutes to drive from my place to his.
I seriously doubt if one can a good 2-BR apartment for 580k in Ikeja.
That's Lagos for you.

please which area is that? I'm seriously house hunting. 580k for a 2 bedroom is bargain
