From the historic streets of Lagos Island to the glass towers of Victoria Island, the quiet luxury of Ikoyi, and the explosive coastal growth of Lekki — this is Lagos, Nigeria like you have never seen it before. Filmed entirely with a drone in 4K, this cinematic aerial video reveals Africa’s largest and most dynamic city from above.

Lagos is just an overpriced and over rated slum. Imagine praying over $5m for a property at Ikoyi or Eko Atlantic City, on less than a thousand square kilometers, no central water or waste system, you have to arrange yours, you must provide your own security, electricity and other basic amenities. Yet properties are more expensive than far more developed cities in the US.

Correct...
Una welldone o, yea

Something for the eyes that's beyond the stairs

It's actually beautiful from the sky

Sincerely speaking, Nigeria ought to have surpass this level of development if not for evil minded, selfish power drunken politician's

How can this be Africa? This is not Africa. We still live on trees, We don't know what a smartphone looks like, we don't wear clothes we wear leaves to cover our private parts, We don't have cars we use donkeys for transportation, Ignorant Oyinbo(Whites) people should not believe this nonsense from the OP, it is all lies...

The only problems Nigeria has are overpopulation and an absolute lack of discipline.

Yorubaland is always the reference point in Nigeria.

At least lagos is still trying. Agreed there's room for improvement

Eko Oni Baje!
Lagos no go spoil !

The government need to do more, we suppose don pass this level.
Imagine 2026 still no power supply

Lagos is a different city in Nigeria.. Eko ari omi sa legbelegbe… it’s funny that those who can’t do anything or be anything outside the city even though they came into the city via night buses are the ones who will always want to share negative comments of the city. Eko ilu ogbon.. Love it or leave it.. Lagos leads others follow..


Eko o ni baje ooo…

You call this development? Go to Singapore. You will see development. They even got their independence after we did. They don't even have crude oil.
We just love to applaud mediocrity in this country.

in the near future there will be a city pass to enter or exit the city

Use your brain.

Is it the landlord's job to develop the city?

Why should he underprice his house because he is in a developing country?

Is there a different price for building materials for nice houses than exists in America?

And do stop lying about property prices. THEY ARE INFINITELY LOWER IN NIGERIA THAN AMERICA.

Despite Nigerian houses getting built with concrete and cement, and American houses of cheap wood.

Get a property there first before you come here to tell us what you don’t know. How do you know there’s no central water and waste system those places you mentioned?

You are just like people who can afford the price of iPhone and go out to say nothing iPhone de do wey tecno no fit do…

Not just Lagos...!

Real estate and Kidnapping are serious money laundering avenues in this country.

Even abroad... Have you not seen or heard of dirty and useless paintings that are priced and sold for 20 Million Dollars?!!

Money laundering (cleaning and legitimizing stolen funds) is as old as man.

So, those houses are overvalued in order to clean up dough.

Even in night clubs... You will see brandy of 6k being sold for 250k.

The game is what it is.

Once again, these people have started hyping mediocrity.

You can only deceive illiterate and less traveled people with these lies.

A comment laced with bitterness 😳🥺

Overrated slum where Nigeria concentrated pumping into oil boom era revenues under from Gowon to Babangida because they lived there in dodan barracks instead of spreading it out to the rest of the country

OP,
You have tried in this analysis of Lagos-the Moving City.
• But try to ADD the Emerging Lagos-CALABAR COASTAL HIGHWAYS ROAD 🛣️ INFRASTRUCTURES Projects - Covering 9- Southerners States and the Economic Benefits To Come In Yeas - Ahead
AND,
• The Sokoto - Badagry Superhighways ROAD 🛣️ INFRASTRUCTURES Projects,
-ALL CAN INLY COMES FROM TINUBU'S INITIATIVES.
• Likes Tinubu or hate him,
he is a Smart -Thinker - And these Projects As Legacy will Speak 🗣️ For him in Years To Come.

Lol…I’ve always believed that Lagos is overrated…Abuja fine pass Lagos in everything…that’s the only reason I respect el Rufai till today…he really sanitised that place

Only showing the nice areas, what about the slums? Even the highly-rateds areas on the island are full of area boys and aboki's fetch unsalted water to them

The rich also cry.

Only on sky.
Waka for leg and check out those places and compare the shooting.
Over hype
