Aguda is under Coker-Aguda local government. Go and check. Aguda na attachment dem dey.

There is nothing like Coker-Aguda Local Government, it is an LCDA under Surulere Local Government.

Go and do your research properly. There might be conflicting information online, but what I wrote above is the pure fact.

Aguda is in and under Surulere.

I missed my time in Surulere. I rep A.U.D.G.S. It's been over 20 years now I have been there. Most people don't know that before the craze for Ajah and Lekki, Surulere was where you will find most celebrities. Do students still do school rivalry because back then it was very fun. From sports to academics to fighting, it was always a competition and bragging rights. My happiest moments so far are those I had in Surulere.

Krak:
Search on jiji and geoserch to Surulere, you should be able to see various options

Thank you so very much my brother.
May God bless you greatly

I bet you personally don't leave in surulere 😂😂😂😂

It's a lie, on the island there are like 4 shoprites..... From sangotedo to osapa London to lekki axis.... People don't play ball that frequently except in designated fields in housing estate...
Restaurants are diverse here also

OK, we can agree to disagree. I actually thought you were going to reference Eric Moore towers and acesss to the stadiums.

caspapa:
You are sport on, but you missed some valid points, what about good musicians and won nabe musicians, Lawanson other side, Ikate and Itire close to Ilasamaja claiming Surulere . Electricity is much better now, I can't remember the last time I put on my generator.

See, once you get to Western Avenue, from Costen to Ojuelegba, everything on your left to Oshodi Apapa Expressway is old Surulere. Including Coker bus stop, Ijesha , Cele all the way to Ilasa bus stop.
Places like Mesha, kilo, bode Thomas, Akerele, Lawason, Randell, Shita, , Baruwa, are all sandwiched in between.
Before now, the whole of that area was Surulere LGA, then they created Aguda, Itire /Ijesha LDC.

Surulere LCDA stands on its own, receiving its own allocation, just as Coker-Aguda local government does. They all have their chairmen and councillors. How do you want to put them as asunder?

Going by the name Coker-Aguda, how does Aguda find itself in Surulere, if not within the geographical boundaries of its LCDA? There is no conflicting information anywhere. I lived in Aguda, Lawanson and Masha. I attended primary school first in Anjorin street, Lawanson and then Oduduwa street, Ikate. I know Surulere in and out. I know Aguda in and out and I know the boundaries.

Hmmmm, during my days at Unilag, I do go with my coursemate to her house at Bode Thomas.

Sometimes, I will spend a week or two with her during the holiday. Her mom is very nice (God bless her for me). We would go everywhere including Rita Lori to swim and that Chinese restaurant close to shop rite.

And I dated her brother until he travelled to Germany.
What a wonderful world!

You sef follow chop the fish with sauce and whit rice at that Chinese restaurant? It was expensive o o! but any babe you carry go there must trip for you. That place nearly bankrupt me.
Rita Lori was fun , the pool , music and people. Do they still operate?

Bro, stop arguing. LCDA (local council development area) is different from LGA (local government area).

I have attached a fact sheet showing the areas under Surulere so you can stop arguing with false information.

You can live in several areas in Surulere and still not be well informed! Stop it!

Oga there’s a difference between LGA and LCDA. Surulere is an LGA while Coker-Aguda is an LCDA carved out of Surulere LGA. LGAs are recognized in the Federal Constitution, LCDAs are created by state governments for administrative purpose.
If the LGA autonomy were to be working, only the 20 constitutionally recognized LGAs in Lagos would receive direct allocation from the Federal Government while the LCDAs would have to be funded by the State Government or at best share from the original LGA they fall under.

Please learn to correct without outright condemnation. Yes, Some parts of Aguda and Ijeshatedo, cum Itire are parts of Surulere. You can take that to the Bank.

Yes some part of itire and also ikate , ijeshatedo and Aguda are under Surulere II....while the main Surulere down to ojuelegba area are main lere ...even orile coker is being group to Surulere II as well sharing the same lcda with Aguda .....

No where I no no for lere ....

This op just de exaggerate

all roads lead to shoprite" Yes I believe this ..this is the best hangout cos it's in center ...after that na to enter strip club on bode Thomas lol , down to rita Lori ...red light lol ...adeniran shitta red light ....

"Mama Calabar Joints Everywhere"....imagine such lies..as if na only Calabar people de cook for the whole Surulere

oga, how now?

"BRT Buses Are a Way of Life" oga suffry which brt bus de enter Surulere ....except the ones that stop around stadium bust-up western avenue....

Indeed Surulere is one of the best middle-class LG to live in ...remember na old money e be old Lagos and I like vintage things and it's very centered in lagos

Imagine and u grow up here and still de use old demarcation de judge ....yes you are an OL G of Surulere you know there back and front .....it's true itire ijeshatedo .. Aguda were not Surulere in the olden days it was a new found land but come to think of it population growth and territory need to be expanded and government need to chop na ....where will they throw those new communities to....mushin LG or where ..... Surulere was wise to attach those areas to its government so it's Surulere LG
..Coker Aguda is an LCDA carved out of Surulere LGA...also Ikate itire LCDA carved out of Surulere LG ....

That is how it is in every LG in Lagos ...formerly there were no LCDA it's later we are now seeing it ....

Oga Aguda , Ikate , itire , ijeshatedo are all Surulere II

One funny thing you forget is the drug addiction level, especially Falolu, Ekololu, Obele, Adeniran, Joseph Robertson. Akerele, Masha, Kilo, Ikate.

You see this drug thing, I was scared out of my wits. Everywhere you turn, there's a kolo mental guy and you could tell it's the kind of mental illness that comes from doing drugs.

I like the keep-fit culture. On weekends, you see a handful of people on that Shitta Bridge and environs making their way to the 2 stadia in the area.

Surulere people are cool, educated and have this aura of sophistication around them.

I represent Adelabu, Agbonyin, Àgùdà!

Oga Aguda , Ikate , itire , ijeshatedo are all Surulere II

When did Surulere become I & II? Those areas listed have always been part of Surulere from inception, the LGA map never changed... most of you just drew a mental boundary cos you always believed Surulere starts at National Stadium and ends at Bode Thomas. 😏

ceejay80s:
U don't know surulere be that
Aguda is under surulere Masha kilo too,
I grew up in surulere, I dey trek back then from my house at ojuelegba to visit my classmate at aguda and bode Thomas,
Imagine we back then trkking from birch Freeman boys high school surulere in the 90s to bode Thomas,
Good old days

cyberbro:
Packing as how? Kindly clarify.



So Aguda is under which LGA? You can't limit Surulere to only the porchest streets like Bode Thomas and Adeniran ogunsaya or Ogunlana drive na.

Iponri, Aguda, Ijesha, Lawanson [/b]are all part of Surulere. If you truly grew up in Lere, you'd know this.

I stand by what I wrote earlier, and I will condemn what isn't right. This guy described Surulere like a poor neighbourhood. The area Fashola's (ex governor of Lagps State) parents live till date. I will want to agree with the person who said some parts of Aguda can be included, but as soon as you say Aguda, those outside the border will say they live in Surulere. Aguda has clean part that I don't mind living. So many expensive building there. But as soon as you step into those muddy areas, dem sef dey claim Surulere.

Yes, Iponri and Alaka are there, right beside the express way. Are you going to say they are dirty now? Even DSTV is at Alaka. Those low cost estates used to disfigure the place, but Gbaja has put beauty there. But I stand to be corrected that despite the old ugly Jakande low cost buildings there, the roads have been clean. So, writing here that pot holes here and there in Surulere is wrong.

You can argue with me, but I am telling you that the Shoprite store at Adeniran Ogunsanya is one of the best sellers in the country. And this India grocery store (I have forgotten its name) had to pay huge to get a huge land right beside that Shiprite when they realised how Shoprite is making it huge, and both are doing well despite they are beside each other. Many Sundays, I have met people there to just chat. I use the Laudromat in the Shoprite building too. So, you wan tell me say a no know Surulere? Na waoooo. Cos I removed Aguda. Right?

Surulere is a residential area that doesn't allow high rise, and some good companies have their branches there. Samsung has got its section for repairs along that same Adeniran Ogunsanya. MTN is at Bode Thomas. Two GTBs are along Bode Thomas. Do you know what that means? So many reputable companies who want rich people to patronise them are there. Good thing is that as you are coming from the Island along Carter bridge, you either get down from Costain or Alaka. That nice. Then, you can enter from Yaba or Oyingbo, and the good news is that those bridges that are built to fly over the railway there makes it cool. You don't get to experience nasty people when coming to Surulere from the two ends that many people used to avoid in the past.

Then, Masha. That roundabout beside Teslim Balogun Stadium. Even the National stadium is there ar the otherside. Millions of dollars have been spent to do a make over on those two stadia. The express road is clean. So many car sales points. Innosson Motors is there. So.

Have you ever flown a drone at night and observe the beauty of surulere? After Gbaja did a job with more roads and buildings...., see...you will think you are in Europe if you view it from above with a drone.

Don't ever come tell me nonsense about my Surulere oooo. Not those attached areas like Ijesha. Ok. Lawanson. Fine. But I know the area will change soon. Why? Mudashiru built a mini Estate that Gbaja even touched there, and the cost of getting houses there is getting extremely high too. I give it 5 years, and it will be like this Bode Thomas while Bode Thomas, Ogunlana drive, Adeniran Ogunsanya and adjacent streets will be reserved area for the extreme rich people.

I love driving from Ojuelegba to join Ogunlana drive. Mehn....by my right, you wilk see junks. Just a pity Idiaraba (LuTH) is in that area. I just wish at times that it was by the left and not right.

You hardly see pot holes in most roads in Surulere again. So, why is this guy saying rubbish? I stand by my words.

If I start talking about the National Stadium side .....let's just leave it. Alaka side of National Stadium is an enclosure many people do not take serious. That place is extrenly quiet and I know many millionaires there. Forget it. People who dont want Island traffic wahala. Yaba guys at the border always claim Surulere which is so annoying. Even Ebute Metta too. But You know what? Ebute and yaba will soon change from the beginning to the end. Especially Ebute Metta, down to Iddo. Why? Government is beginning to remove all the shanties near the lagoon. And rich men are moving there because the beauty of having homes near a lagoon is about t happen there. Go and check out what the headquarters of the Redeemed church is doing there presently. You will bow. And then, filling the lagoon is going on. The whole nasty area is changing. When you stand in the UNILAG high rise building, you will start seeing good view of Ebute Metta soon.

Poor people have moved out. They can't pay the bills there. Families have sold their houses there, and rich people and companies have bought many there.

You will find pot holes even in VI in very minor streets, but they aren't many just like Surulere.

Don't let me talk ooo. I know exactly what I am saying.
