Living in Ijede will make it difficult to associate with he rest of Lagos unless na only Ikorodu/Ogun state parole u wan dey do.

People come with their cars from as far as Ketu to board Ijẹdẹ Ferry to Ajah and Ikoyi to beat traffic (30 minutes ETA), Ijẹdẹ is definitely not that place in that video at least not in the last 2 years. If you want to build your own home (modest priced land acquisition) you should consider a lot of factors, some sacrifices are not really sacrifices at the end of the day (not in this digital age). Having your own should be paramount to living in a posh apartment.
I lived in Ijẹdẹ once, I had my leisure in neighbouring town and twas great. I couldn't have enjoyed Victoria Island any better.

I just rented out 2beds in Igbe, Ikorodu Area with very deplorable road condition for 1.6m

I could have gotten you a clean new/spacious 2 Bedroom apartment for ₦940,000 at Agric. Great environment and better accessibility to the mainland.


Igbe na inside inside.

Many Shopping Malls in Agric.

stop super feeding all this Landlords the government has to address this scam in lagos state. Some of those houses were built 10 years ago with low materials if unjustifiable. It high time to start arresting all this Landlords in Lagos

People are often quick to blame landlords. Don’t get me wrong — some certainly exploit tenants. But the real problem lies in the soaring cost of building materials like cement, iron rods, and other essentials. On top of that, agents are raking in more from properties they never built than the landlords who actually own them.

360k , 3 bedroom flat, Ughelli, Delta State.

Depends on the side of Ajah, for rugged places like Mobil road, ilaje, etc, annual rent can range from 700k up, depending on the standard, however, in some estates, we could be talking over 3-4m plus, sangotedo axis can range from 1.5 up, Lakowe axis, from 1m up.

as i see this post i just smile, my landlady for shop increase rent by 40 percent , landlady for house by 20 percent, all this notifications na december i go vomit all,, lols ...

Ijede and islands lekki, ajah etc no difference when it comes to flooding during raining season but they charge millions for a room self contain with plenty service charge .only

yomi007k:
You should charge 200k for 2 bedroom because Ijede deserves that price.

This is a video of Ijede after the rain.

Domainer1999:
Affordable housing is now getting out of reach of common man especially in major cities.

Imagine #2M cannot secure you a 2BR apartment in Chief Anthony Enahoro housing estate Ogba, Lagos. We were told to prepare #3.5 - #4M.

And houses like this are called affordable housing, what’s affordable in this?

It seems we’re now working to feed landlords.

Short let's rentals also contribute to the hike in rent price as municipal landlords now peg ground rent to their prices.

Appropriate authorities should look into this, it is getting preposterous!

in 2020 that my wife deliberately forced me to relocate to our house in OTA, I spent #12m to put up a 3 bedroom and I always thank God for giving me the grace, listening to what tenants are facing, with the dwindling income, I have empathy for them and I do hope the government could relax these hard economic policies and we could have peace of mind

E no concern you.

This is the comment I have been looking for. Some people here are saying building materials is cost like most of the houses in question were built last year. Some of these houses were built when things were cheaper many years ago. Many landlords are just greedy and wicked to tenants.

No mind that guy. People like to exaggerate things which usually makes it worse, because others go believe say na normal thing. You can still get affordable house in Benin. Many places dy. Sapele road dy there.

Flooding happens everywhere that's what am trying to pass across to you

Cost of building marterials is now killing, making most landlords to charge huge rents to recoup their investments. But then they should be more considerate in view of the cutlrrent economic reality in the country.

ThaThinka:
Must they? I guess it's mentality of this sort that contributes to hike in rent, not just the state of the economy.

A house is not a car or other things that depreciates so rapidly in value to become worthless in a few years! It could actually increase in value. So why must you want to recoup all your investment in only five years?

Besides, a house may be thought of as a way of "securing" the land on which it stands. That's actually the real value, in my opinion.

Just saying.

You have a valid point, only say the depreciation of one property depends on how the property is utilized by the tenants. Some tenants go useless landlord property to the point say landlord go spend a lot of money to put the property in good shape to rent it out again.

So it is possible for a tenant to make a property depreciate in a short period of time. Hence from a landlord's perspective short let solves their problem of property damage by tenants.

Hamachi:
Yes, it's true—landlords are going through a lot. Building materials are expensive, loans are crushing, and dealing with defaulting tenants can be heartbreaking. No one talks enough about how vulnerable landlords can be, especially elderly ones or those who depend on rent as their only income. The story of your landlady being led around to beg for rent is truly painful—and unfortunately, not rare.

But on the other side of that door, many tenants are also struggling. Rent isn't something most people want to owe—it's something they fear they can’t afford. The cost of living has skyrocketed, and salaries haven’t kept up. Many tenants are juggling school fees, medical bills, job instability, and sometimes even extended family responsibilities. Some are genuinely embarrassed when they fall behind on rent—they’re not all being reckless with their money or trying to cheat the system.

Yes, some exploit the law and make things hard for landlords. But many tenants just want a stable roof over their heads and are doing their best. When landlords shift to shortlet to escape tenant stress, it makes sense financially—but it also contributes to the housing crisis by reducing long-term housing availability for regular people.

What’s needed is balance: better legal systems that protect both landlords and tenants, more responsible behavior from tenants, and more humane rental practices from landlords. Because at the end of the day, both sides want the same thing: stability, respect, and fairness.
