This is not a logical question, but one has to be logical about it. Apparently majority will prefer to live on the Island because it is
known for it's luxurious houses and it is also the home of Lagos big boys and girls not forgetting our celebrities to name but a few.

Perhaps you might reconsider your option after reading this article because I will outline some points you have not been paying attention to just because you crave for luxurious satisfaction.

Firstly it isn't new that more than 70% of the lands on the Island was as a result of land reclamation. This results to lack of proper drainage system causing flood in every nooks and crannies of the Island. Let's look at the new Atlantic City which was formerly Bar Beach. What do you think would be the fate of that location in years to come as it is an artificial land.

Also the new Atlantic City will definitely have an adverse effect on surrounding areas if the land was not properly reclaimed?



Secondly, the cost of getting a home on the Island is on the high side but yet most people prefer to pay too much for too little. You can find out how much it cost to get an apartment from your real estate agent then you can compare and contrast.

Thirdly, some people will say once they have an apartment on the Island the would have nothing to do with the Mainland. Please do not forget staying on the Island would not change the effect of the present situation of the country rather it will increase your standard of living.

Traffic on the Island is something you should consider also, certainly, traffic in Lagos is inevitable but the Mainland has lot of alternative routes.

Another point to consider is water, the Island is filled with water but it is not consumable because it is salty unlike water on the Mainland. Apparently, you know the reason behind that.

If you intend on living on the Island then you must have a good and steady source of income so you can meet the demand of your day to day life on the Island.

No doubt, living on the Mainland has its own inconveniences but the fact that 90% of the Mainland is dry land is enough reason to have a home on this part of the city. Moreover any structure that can be erected on the Island can also be erected on the Mainland location is the only distinguishing factor.
