Now don't laugh this off. This is a rather serious comparison as it's my first time in Lagos and as such my first time on the Island.

According to the topic, I will like readers especially those who reside in Lagos to share their opinions as to which of these major residential areas in Lagos is actually more value for money.

I've lived in the Ajah axis of Lagos Island for about 7 months and I can confidently tell you that I will not advise any newcomer to pay rent to live here. Electricity is bad, water is terrible, roads are bad too and for those who commute the Lekki-Epe express road daily know how hellish it can be when there is a surge in traffic.

Tbh, most people living on the island are suffering and smiling, even those who you think are well to do are having it worse.

I'm considering moving away from the Island and finding a serene environment on the mainland to live in. I heard that Magodo/Berger area is true, please how true is this? I will like readers who reside in Lagos to share their thoughts on other serene environments one can live in where one can get good basic amenities. This will definitely help other people as well. Thanks.

It's not about having it good or not. The whole naija which side pure? It doesn't make any meaning when people generalize because of personal experience. Okay imagine one mugu above said anything beyond lekki isn't Island. And na Awoyaya of all places him done stay oo. Isn't that foolishness? Ask the op where exactly he stayed that influenced his post and u will see there's no need for this thread.

Wow 1,2 million difference, do they work on the island? Proximity to work is a very major factor for a lot of people.





The 2nd and 3rd bolded has always been my concern, apart from house rent, you pay more for water, school fees, markets everything other thing is expensive, a family person would think twice if you are not really that rich enough to live there.

I know someone that rented a bed space for 350k at Yaba, I guess it's serviced, bedspace like hostel oo, they are 2 in the room, 2 beds grin she works on the island and seems the roommate is working class I can only imagine how much that will cost on the island.


They are sisters actually. One works in lekki while the other is into her own business.

A lot of people I know living there most times go to the mainland...oyingbo, mile 12, Lawanson market, etc, to buy food stuffs.

Yaba has a lot of serviced apartments and they can be quite expensive. I have heard of these bed spaces arrangement somewhere in ikoyi where people just come to sleep for the week while working on the island.

Rotfl grin He lived in Awoyaya and then says after Chevron is not Island? I have a colleague like this who will always say people living after VGC are suffering and don't have money. The day we went for another colleague's birthday party after VGC, I could see she felt intimidated and inferior by the home of that colleague and obvious wealth.

She caps at VGC because her elder sisters live there. She is a very ratched woman who talks anyhow, thinks she is fly and all that but she is not. Even at work she makes derogatory comments about other female colleagues who dress well and better than her. She will say it is okrika and Aba made they are wearing. Aba made or not, those women look good but bad belle poju

People just say a lot of nonsense until their ignorance or fuvk up is treated in real time and real life like that my colleague

How many Ajah you know for lagos?

If your water is as good as you claim then it's most likely because there's a water treatment system in your compound.

Some of you talk as if you know it all. Tueh!
