The whole of Lagos have always been a shiiit hole. Whether main land or island

Went there as a Bini boy last year. In fact it was the day that tanker explosion happened
And i must tell you Lagos is overrated. Too dirty and noisy.

When i entered Abuja same last year November because i wanted an instant passport because there was no booklet in Edo state that was when i knew the difference between Abuja and Lagos

It was even more obvious to me that Edo was actually bigger than Lagos. It took like forever to leave Edo land when you are going to Abuja. All those Edo north was like forever. So Lagos is just one small shiiit hole place that is overcrowded.



Abuja is too good to be compared with that shiiit hole called lagos
I remember traveling to Ondo, enroute Edo, Edo bigooooo, we spent most of our time trying to pass Edo. Lagos is overated.Abuja is Bae bro.

A friend staying around the ShopRite after Sango Tedo calls their area "Long Island" as I jokingly tell him that he should stop saying he says in Lekki...

There are lots and lots of slums on the so called Island.

Joybringer:
Don't be deceived, those staying in Ajah/sango tedo / Eleko / Bogije /Awoyaya , etc are in Otherland not in island.

It's obvious you're a non-lagosian

Ikeja is not the capital of Lagos.
Lagos is the capital of Lagos.

I understand you use to be taught all those state and capital shits but it is wrong.

Ikeja ain't a city, Lagos is the city. Ikeja is under Lagos.

Ignorance kills faster than cyanide gas
I am sorry bro! Did you go to school at all? cool grin shocked angry

Probably not move there, but you can spend a good vacation

Living in the mainland is better than island by FAR.
* If you live in mainland, you have a high purchasing power compare to island. 100k goes a long way in mainland than island.
* Sense of community is high in mainland. Every Sunday me and my friends drink gin like no tomorrow.
* Regarding partying, we mainlanders party than those islanders.
Every Saturday is a good day for all our owambe folks.
Lagos Mainland issa goal jor.
Ikorodu issa goal jor
Ikorodu eko ni.

You may be right about a number of things including the size of both states but which part of Lagos did you use in making your assessment? Epe to Badagry is a full day drive, just saying and yes there are some of us who will not want the laid back life style of Abuja. Lagos life pumps the adrenalin whether mainland or island, I have lived in both worlds.
Epe to badagary is a full day drive because of too much hold up in lagos road as we all know the Lagos is over crowded and overrated

1. Get a job.
2. Save money.
3. Travel there. A two week stay is always better than nothing.
I have a job, I have enough money to travel there, but it's pointless because then I'll truly realize what my country will never ever have.

Define the word capital city?

Someone who grew up in Lagos is telling you something but of course your low IQ and high pride won't allow you receive enlightenment and correction.

It's alright, I won't stress my fingers on an illiterate fowl like you.
If you were to go for an interview and they ask you the capital of Lagos, simply write Lagos.

Hope CMS is not among island u meant
All those wannabe Lagos boys like Opinionated who know nothing about the state.

I had to recheck again if places like idumota, oluwole, odunfa has been moved to the mainland. Lagos island that should be the most dangerous place in the state lol unfortunately the kids think Lagos island is all about VI, lekki, VGC , ikoyi and banana island .grin
