RealNiggaDee:
island is the real Lagos (Eko).

Main land is ogun state

Lol 😂

Mainland actually dey moderately fine and e dey more spacious than Island. You no even capture many beautiful places in Ikeja, Maryland, Egbeda and so on.

epainos:
Personally, the only place I can live on the Island is Ikoyi. Never will I live in that goddammit traffic place called Island. Ikeja and Magodo are good places. But I still prefer Adekunle and streets next to Herbert Marcaulay cos they are just 10 mins drive to Island if I want to go. I look at my map and when the road is free, I move. Live on the Island if you don't value your life.

Sure, you can get properties on the Island , but stay away if you want to live long. If you can afford Ikoyi, that's the best place in Lagos.

Lol. Do you know the kind traffic on that third mainland bridge to Obalende sometimes ? Not to talk of the traffic on that Awolowo Ikoyi Road when going to lekki. Gbagada is still the closest if one wants to quickly get to the island from the mainland, if there is less traffic. That's why lots of the working class on the island lives around Gbagada and Oworo.

In all, like you said one will just have to look at the map before going out, that is if you are self employed. The whole lagos is always traffic congested most times.

And you care about that?
We are in ground at home and nothing apart from media reportage of horror in the East we are seeing far less than what is reported ..life goes on normal

Elzazzi:

Well you might be right. I have heard that before also

Same with some other states. The border adjustments were wrongly moved to other states.

Mainland is not ideal coz it’s filled with low mentality minds

9jvirgin:
Lagos is a very poor and toxic city with people suffering from mental illnesses due to the hardship caused by traffic and lack of social services. These pictures are not realities.

Fact 💯

No clean tap water do something

Yaba too.

Posting picture of hotels, especially international brands, rather than every day streets and neighbourhoods doesn't reflect "Lagos Mainland".

OP, you can do better than this.

Olatara:
Yaba too.

Yaba is indeed beautiful.

I have a family house around Costain, and you can take Carter bridge which is even closer than Gbagada and Oworo. That place is the real center of Lagos. As in, you are in CMS in 5 minutes and will be at Borny camp before you close your eyes. Sure, I don't mind Gbagada at all. And I do not mind Costain, but there is a reason for streets close to Herbert Marcaulay. If you own property in that area, there is a jackpot worth slightly less than Lekki. That place is the tech hub of Lagos also. Do you remember when Mark Zerkaburg came here and ran down the street? Think about it. That place is quiet. Let me give you an extremely quiet location where you can count the number of people and cars. Go check Harvey Road and adjacent streets. So peaceful and quiet. Even as Yaba was crazy and noisy in those days, that area was so quiet. Very few people know this area. I have a friend who has a family house on three plots, so they have a large garden. Guy, that is a place we rest and meditate. Very peaceful.

In addition, if you purchase a property there and use it for Airbnb, you will attract good customers. Gabgada too can be used but very noisy for me. Magodo is good. No doubt.

Like I said earlier, I check my map and when it is free, I move. Third mainland isn't that bad, and I can always avoid Obalende. When last did I even drive pass Obalende? And bros...I don't even drive like that. I prefer using Uber. My focus aren't only the bridges that connect Mainland to Island, but the traffic on Island. I would rather prefer to get trapped on the third Mainland bridge that in Ozumba Nbadiwe, not to talk of down inside Lekki. God forbids. Never. But I won't get trapped because I always check my map before moving. Yes, I am self employed....you gat it.

i have been in Epe, Lagos for 5 months now, without electricity, i have been in ibeju lekki for months too without good light, infact from Ajah - ibeju lekki - down to Epe, should not be part of Lagod, if you are in those areas, just have your solar or power Bank if not you go suffer. if Lagos abandoned them? are they not part of lagos?? no good Road, no water, no electricity

mayor1814:
The most developed city in Nigeria. The only state in Nigeria that can stand as a country. Just give it to Lagos.


Have you ever seen a big company or industry in Nigeria that doesn't have a headquarter or strategic branch in Lagos? None. And again most Nigerians that are not residing in Lagos have family members or relatives definitely residing in Lagos.

Keep lying to yourself.

Lies. All the areas pictured are decent except maybe Oshodi.

My God oh 😂

jideflash:
Beautiful

From up its fine.
But when you stand on the ground near these places, it's very dirty.
1.dust
2. Piss/shit
3. Engine oil /diesel black smoke.
4. Black nylon/ pure water/ plastic bottle everywhere.
Carry white handkerchief and pass there. The handkerchief will never be clean again.

Now show us amukoko

Dumb comment

There's no time in history Lagos mainland was part of Ogun state

Hemanwel:
OP wants to show us the beauty of the Mainland in Lagos, and he is showing us hotels. Like, what's beautiful in these pictures? What exactly is special in these pictures that will wow me? Is it because these pictures are not juxtaposed with other cities within the continent? We lie to ourselves too much in this country

These pictures I am seeing here, I can only compare them with Soweto in SA or Doula in Cameroon.

But it's more beautiful than every part of Igbo land

Westerners of non lagos origin are the problem of lagos i swear

This isn't beautiful at all. Shame

Elzazzi:
Are you saying the whole of lagos mainland is Ogun state ?
I know ikorodu should be Ogun state

Lagos Na 3parts, Island, Mainland and Hinterland
Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry are the Hinterland, but we no too dey classify as that, most are just familiar with Island and Mainland

Osiris12:
Lagos wey people still dey shit for gutter.

Smelly Lagos
