Ten (10) Of The Richest And Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Nigeria by UrennaNkoli(op):
10
Asokoro, Abuja

https://amgnigeria.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Asokoro.jpg
This upper-class area is known for being quite secure, and it attracts many millionaires and top government officials — with top real estate costing in the millions.

9
Jabi, Abuja

https://d39ya49a1fwv14.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Jabi-Lake-Waterfront-600x360.jpg
Located about 30 minutes from Abuja airport, this residential area boasts some fine homes, and with a new waterfront development underway, it may soon rival many top neighborhoods anywhere in the world.

8
Nicon Town, Lagos

https://d39ya49a1fwv14.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Nicon-Town-600x450.jpg
With houses priced at $1.5 million, this area, located in Lagos, is opulent enough to be featured on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

7
Ikeja GRA, Lagos

https://d39ya49a1fwv14.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Ikeja-GRA-in-Ikeja-.jpg
Located in the suburbs of Lagos, this upper-class neighborhood has some lovely homes that require some serious cash.

GRA Phase 2, Portharcourt

https://d39ya49a1fwv14.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/GRA-Phase-2-in-Port-Harcourt--600x450.jpg
Located in Port Harcourt, this area benefits from being surrounded by oil money. With expatriates taking up residence in the area, it’s definitely made for the elite.

Lekki scheme 1, Lagos

Lekki is a nice upper-class area with million-dollar homes. Houses here and their price tag can blow your head off.

4
Alalubosa, Ibadan

https://d39ya49a1fwv14.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Alalubosa-GRA-in-Ibadan--600x450.jpg
Located in Ibadan, Alalubosa hosts some fairly large and expensive homes, which helps to dispel perceptions of Ibadan as being severely underdeveloped.

3
Ibara, Abeokuta

https://d39ya49a1fwv14.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Ibara-in-Abeokuta--600x300.jpg

With home prices becoming extremely high in Lagos’ surrounding areas, places like Ibara in Abeokuta are fast-growing and becoming highly coveted areas for people looking for more value for their money.

2
Banana island, Lagos

https://d39ya49a1fwv14.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/banana-islane-600x400.jpg
This man-made island is paradise for the world’s elite. This area is quite secluded, and houses easily cost upwards of $2 million.

1
Maitama, Abuja

https://d39ya49a1fwv14.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Maitama-in-Abuja-.jpg
Home to many embassies, this exclusive area was built for the crème de la crème and top politicians of the country.

People crying fowl that one location should be above another please when I meant ten (10) , I meant ten and not "top ten". You can arrange them yourselves however it suits your taste.

Ibadan is not as bad as u think. Big men live there.
Banana island make sense die. First time I was there I just sat down one place and started thinking about my life.

Nice, but i just want to believe your arrangement are done in no particular order, because I can see you place some mediocre city above Asokoro which supposed to be among the first five.
Re: Ten (10) Of The Richest And Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Nigeria by Kockane(m): 6:30am On Sep 07, 2016
Well, I can't speak for the places outside Abuja but a list that has Asokoro at number 10, Jabi at Number 9 and Maitama in first place is without a doubt not credible.

Maitama and Asokoro, in whatever order you place them shouldn't be far off each other, and if you consider all parts of Jabi, I doubt it should be on this list.

Where have you placed Wuse 2?

Re: Ten (10) Of The Richest And Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Nigeria by Nairadays: 6:30am On Sep 07, 2016
Even if i don't live there, am already wealthy and OP should have used real life pictures for all. I didn't know JABI has an artificial lake.
Re: Ten (10) Of The Richest And Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Nigeria by Emboabajunior(m): 6:30am On Sep 07, 2016
I'm not going to debate which areas should or shouldn't be on the list.

This is what I'm going to do....

I'm going to work hard enough to get structures in each of these 10 neighbourhood.



So Help me God

I know majority of the big people can be found at Abuja with solid houses. I learnt Buhari is undertaking a low-cost housing project so that we too can own houses at Abuja.

Many here would wish, hope and dream of one day living in these places, not me though.
I ran away from Lagos while every other person is running to it. Weird people act truly weird. angry
Nice neighborhood though.

Correct babe . Having lived in enugu, I think I know where ur referring to : independence layout or GRA are maybe the most posh hood around there . However in all fairness, I doubt it would make this list as i can't point which hood listed above it would displace.
Someone below mentioned World Bank in Owerri, truth is I have also lived in owerri but I don't rate World Bank even as high as independence layout

mtcheww op were is your source? Did you carry out research to get these infos? Did you meet real estate agents to ascertain the prices of the houses in each area? You don't just come and post ridiculous infos without getting your facts right. Just a glance at your write-up, one would know its baseless without proof to support them. I blame the incompetent mod that put this baseless info on frontpage. Have a nice day
Re: Ten (10) Of The Richest And Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Nigeria by Nobody: 6:42am On Sep 07, 2016
Yoruba/Lagos boys keep using nairaland and the internet to lie to Nigerians and the world.
One day, You guys would use the internet to declare Ibadan the capital of Nigeria and prolly Abeokuta the most liveable city in South Africa.
