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. However, I still prefer Adekunle and the streets surrounding Herbert Marcaulay because they are only a 10-minute drive from the Island. I check my map and move whenever the road is clear. 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.

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.

pfadom:
You can still stay in your Village. Everyone competes with him/herself in Lagos with the ultimate desire to make it.

Lagos is still evolving. From Bolelaja to Molue to mini Yellow busses to BRT and now red and blue railway lines. There is a better hope ahead for Lagos. States should learn to partner to develop their states.

Procashtips:
Mainland is not this picture friendly but everywhere shown are real, just that the OP kept showing hotels and some places multiple times.

Topman7:
Showing world class hotels indicates that the place is business-friendly and tourist-friendly.

You don't hide such infrastructure or pretend it's not there.

Not up to 5% of lagos is beautiful. I passed through TBS yesterday and I saw glory that is dead. All the Federal buildings are a ghost of themselves. If this person knew Lagos back then he/she will know that what is dead is more than what they are showcasing. They are only using blue background and lighting everywhere

Starhearts:
Many of the spare parts seller from AfghaEastern side of d country will not be travelling home this Christmas because of the Fear of UGM nd sit-at-home order

aswani:
Honestly, this is not necessary.

I know why you feel the need to respond but sometimes, the concept of "mojukuro" is the best thing.

For me, before opening these threads, I expect the worst from Obidients and they don't dissapoint.

Procashtips:
Unfortunately the residents don't reside inside hotels.

What he showed as mainland apart from the terminals aren't even up to 1% of the total mainland


Take it from a mainlander.

We know he's trying to help prop the mainland image but e far from reality.

Lagos de smell abeg

Starhearts:
Many of them living arround okokomaiko, festac Town, Alimosho, Alaba Eectonic Seller Street hawker... Spare parts seller from AfghaEastern side of d country will not be travelling home this Christmas because of the Fear of UGM and sit-at-home order

Na your upper lip you dey smell.

Pictures can be deceptive

Our no man's land is beautiful but over populated due to many jobless Yorubas who migrated from other states without skill and education to engage in any meaningful adventure other than
Agberos work
Playing lotto and baba ijebu
Begging in the streets

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.

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.

Owerri is the only city in Nigeria, where an aerial view of all cardinal points from same spot, appear beautiful

Elzazzi:
Well I get your point and you're right also. I grew up in Ebute Metta/Yaba. I know these places so well. I'm just saying that Gbagada is closer if you look at it well.
