So na hinterland àbi

leave him make hin dey yawn

olax02:
You can also try ketu tipper or ketu alapere. Houses is not that cost in these area.

There problem in that area is mainly water and the rough environment, I can't train my kids in such place

xjiggy:
There's BRT from ikorodu all the way to Racecourse. Stop at ojuelegba bus stop and find your way to baba. Simple

Na fadeyi he go enter and enter bus to yaba from there........

Ikorodu to mainland?
No be mainland Ikorodu dey?

There is island, mainland and another land. Ikorodu is another land not main land pls

Use BRT get a house at Agric or Oduguyan

abdeiz:



I've never been there. People say it's too far away (30km) coupled with insane traffic

My brother, use your money to buy peace of mind and good health. It’s not every time you think of saving money on what’s not worth it.

A boy just got a job on the Island and his housing allowance is 1.8m. He was saying he would go and get a room self-contained at Iyana-Oworo for 300k. I told him get a good house around surulere or Yaba.
If there is a self con on the island going 1.3m on the island, don’t hesitate to pay.

You can’t quantify your longevity for st.upid savings you feel you would make.
Lots of younger people have d1ed due to all this I wan live in my house or I wan save. Na bricklayer (that you call engineers 😁😁) wey build the house dey samankwe the madam of those house owners after the house owners’ death. How can you be waking up 4am everyday and be getting home 11pm everyday?

A man reported to a colleague of mine that he would d1e if he didn’t pack out of his house he ‘built to taste’. That’s the way he said it that day. This is a house he built around ‘Logburo (closer to Nestle plant around Papa-lanto-Shagamu Road.
The man has packed to the city to rent a better house.

It’s not compulsory to become a landlord in Lagos or its environ and be suffering.


Use your money to rent befitting and comfortable house closer to your office. You are not wasteful so far your housing allowance can pay for it.

Build you country home in your town or village.
I would rather rent a very comfortable house closer to my office than go far.

I have always lived 15 minutes away (maximum) to/from my office. I have lived 2 minutes away in some. Some 6 minutes away.

You will save on transportation, risk of being attacked by robbers or area boys would be limited, little inconvenience, medical health bills and your productivity would be enhanced. Your mental health too would improve.

Goodlady:
I once read here that people living in Ikorodu battle bad water from the soil. Since most of the land is swampy.
Una Lagos people dey try o!
Another hell fire place na Port Harcourt.
Both suffering and smiling city!
Country hard, Abuja sef no too well but at least you d get good water!

where can i see cheap house in abj so that me and you can chill and do adults stuffs after work

Cohabitating with you?

Segun2222:
why only ikorodu what happened to ikeja an environs

Someone is telling you they can't afford the rent in yaba, you are telling them to go to Ikeja. Or ketu. Or Ogudu. Or alapere. Do you want to kill him?

Hopez456:
Ikorodu is not that far if not for the traffic around mile 12 towards Owode onirin. On a norm, without traffic, journey from Ojota to Ikorodu is within 35min.

You may choose to stay in areas before Ikorodu, Ajegunle, Irawo and co.

Ikorodu is not far actually, na traffic dey spoil everything.

I have done Ikorodu to Maryland in under 20mins before. Maryland to Yaba without traffic is under 10 mins.

Without traffic, Ikorodu to Yaba no suppose pass 40mins max.

OP should just stay in Ikorodu since he works 3 days a week, he should wake up early on days he goes to work to get to the bus stop latest by 5:30am so he can avoid traffic and hopefully get to enter the BRT bus.

tyson98:
Come to Agbede in ikorodu and enjoy light 24/7 and rent is not much….I work in ikeja and live there too

Dem don repair una road wey link to Asolo, if No then that area is no go.

I hope that boy doesn't listen to you. It's a new job. Let him rent at Iyana Oworo first and do like one year, then he can start seeing if he needs to pay exorbitantly for accomodation or not within that one year. I believe he has made a right decision at the moment

Lagos is so overrated... Such terrible place to live!!! Their tap water smells so bad with a strange colour... You guys are really trying.

Mandate2023:


Don't listen to ppl like dis.......u will have to start another journey after getting to ikorodu b4 u get to ur house

People like you are worst ,where you don’t even know Mumu man for your info Agbede is located at agric bus stop and not even garage

lilachiever:


Dem don repair una road wey link to Asolo, if No then that area is no go.

Yes now since when and graded

Mandate2023:
I work in surulere and stay in ikorodu, it can be difficult at times to get brt with the long queue and u can drive if u have a car coz traffic is not always serious when leaving ikorodu in d morning but coming back is a little difficult coz of the traffic but it's worth it coz of the lesser house rent, I will just advice u not to look for accommodation in areas u will have to hustle for bus again after u get to ikorodu, u can stay in agric so far it won't go beyond asolo, u will still enter keke tho or u can stay in igbo oluwo estate in jumofak, that's more like d best place to stay for everyday working class in ikorodu but houses are expensive there too nw but u will get a good room and parlour self contain between 300k to 500k depending on the standard of house that's excluding the agreement and commission.......if u won't mind ikorodu traffic that I'll advice u use brt with a little patience on queue I will recommend jumofak igbo oluwo estate

Great, he can even try Eyita. My parents stay there. The roads are totally tarred and light is stable. Just one bike or keke of #200 to Benson then trek one bus stop away to BRT station.

Exousiang01:
Ikorodu to mainland?
No be mainland Ikorodu dey?

I wonder why Ikorodu is being categories under mainland.
Ikorodu is surrounded by water, if Ikorodu is not Island then i will want to know what island means again.

Hopez456:
Houses in Ikeja are not cheap!

lmao stop following agents around two bed 1m dey ikeja

abdeiz:


High cost. I made mention of my budget

how about iyana ipaja, abule egba oshodi and 1m will get you two bedroom with pop in these areas

abdeiz:
Rent in lagos is crazy.

My office is in Yaba and what I've been seeing is way above my budget(400-500k)

How can mini flat be going for 1.2m excluding other charges.
I am seriously considering going to ikorodu since I only have to come to work 3 times a week.

Is this feasible or are there other places where I can get something decent but closer than Ikorodu.

Those who are experienced please do share.

Mods.. Thank you.

Ketu is still fair tho, you will get miniflat from 500k to 600k there and it's closer..

Talking about alapere ketu

Ojota to ikorodu without traffic is 20mins drive, nah traffic dey make the hours long...

I have driven from ajah Abraham adesanya to just rite at ogolonto and i used just 55mins

The road was totally free...

WHEN I LOOK BACK 7 YEARS AGO, I WILL SAY THANK GOD FOR THE DECISION TO RELOCATE OUT FROM SURULERE TO A TOWN IN OGUN STATE, THOUGH I STILL WORK IN THE MAINLAND, INITIALLY, THE PROCESS OF GETTING TO WORK EVERY DAY WASNT EASY, BUT ON A LONG RUN THE DECISION WAS THE BEST I HAVE EVER MADE. TO THE GLORY OF GOD, WHEN WE WERE HIT BY COVID EVEN WHEN OTHERS WERE CRYING OF NO FOOD, WE HAD IT MORE ABOUNDANCE THERE, MORE SO, MY DECISION FOR RELOCATING OUT OF S/L TO A TOWN IN OGUN STATE AND STILL WORK IN LAGOS AND SAVED ME ALOT FROM THIS HASH ECONOMY REALITY

THE TRUTH IS THAT LAGOS IS OVER HYPED AND IT IS SATURATED FOR YOU TO LEAVE COMFORTABLE IN LAGOS, YOU MUST LEAVE IN A COMFORTABLE RENT OF ABOVE N700K TO N1.5M EVERY YEAR. ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT RENT IS A SHIFT FOR ME KIND OF LIFE.

abdeiz:



You like me like this so??

you can get apartments in Cement and Mangoro axis for a cheaper rate and it's also a straight bus to Yaba

Rubyjade:
Ikorodu is your best bet as regards rent in a Lagos considering the fact you work in Yaba

Any idea of What will a self con cost ?
And shey light Dey ?

For the Traffics:
- • get your BRT Card loaded - always pick the one to Jibowu- every day,then you conquer the Traffics on the Road.

Seequadry:
You will see a mini flat btwn 300k to 400k or more at Ejigbo...

Imagine, ejigbo with worst traffic area?

And it's not even a straight road to Yaba.

olax02:
You can also try ketu tipper or ketu alapere. Houses is not that cost in these area.

I came here to mention this..Alapere is a nice place to stay..atleast 20hours light everyday and rent is still reasonably okay.

This is your best bet otherwise if you want to reside at haruna axis or igbolomu estate at jumofak
