moremi2008:you are correct that the whole point, am trying to educate them my friend he an estate developer in London a Jewish guy and he told me that politicians and some rich Hausa guys from Nigeria buys apartments from him in places like Hyde park in central London for 2.6milion pounds cash so why cant they buy those apartment in Nigeria? example banana republic,cos they know that those apartment/houses in Nigeria don't have a well valued price, our economy is not stable for the past 20years and no infrastructure in place to guarantee such value and some people with lack of exposure are already praising and hyping what they don't really know about |

That is too expensive for anybody to live in substandard buildings in the Banana Island. |
Re: Behold - Nigeria Most Expensive Neighbourhood by GoldCircle: 5:06pm On Sep 02, 2011 |
many of the posters here do not have clue what this banana island looks like. can someone please upload the pics! It's got an ocean view and like someone mentioned earlier, better to have it here in Naija ('cos this is where the bread is made & you've got friends and family here also) than stashing the monies away in swiss banks where it won't generate employment nor redistribute wealth. No doubt, some local lawyers are earning cool legal fees from sale or rental of these properties. not to talk of construction workers and maintenance guys that work on the island 24/7. Do we need more islands and exotic havens like this in Naija? Yes of course! Are more places like this springing up in Naija?? Yes of course!! well you may say they are over priced, but are the property owners complaining? NO. |

I thought it was illegal to denominate anything in Nigeria in dollars? Sanusi where you dey? Hope say you dey hear wetin dem dey talk about pipo wen don go bananas? Seriously, the rich in Nigeria have no imagination whatsoever, they should see what Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and co are doing with their wealth. They are like Richie Rich, the cartoon character, poor little rich folks! |

Ruinously expensive. |
Re: Behold - Nigeria Most Expensive Neighbourhood by franko2: 9:03pm On Sep 02, 2011 |
Any which way u view it, a place costing u upwards of USD$2m to buy, should at least reflect some of that value, else, baslone: , else we stand the risk of "knowing the price (we paid for) of/for everything, and the value of nothing" GoldCircle: imagine living in so much luxury at home, only for u to step out like u would have to do day in day in day, and, lo and behold its mayhem, lamp posts missing, kwashiokor-infested children begging with their HIVed mother, and boko haram visiting mayhem a few kilometers away, it doesnt sound like much fun - poor quality life, if u ask me, alexola20: |

Re: Behold - Nigeria Most Expensive Neighbourhood by tpia5: 1:36am On Sep 03, 2011 |
i dont know why some people like to do i too know. just because you cant afford a place doesnt make it any of the things bad belle folks are yapping about here. renters want to live away from the hustle and bustle of mainstream lagos and they can afford it. so? |

Re: Behold - Nigeria Most Expensive Neighbourhood by richidinho(m): 1:04pm On Sep 03, 2011 |
So, who are the people who occupy the land? The list includes multinational corporations, well-paid expatriate employees, corrupt government officials; their concubines (or mistresses), and wealthy businessmen such as Alhassan Dantata, Kola Abiola and Nigeria’s newest billionaire, Mike Adenuga. my name is not there, bt my house if very close to the filling station |
Re: Behold - Nigeria Most Expensive Neighbourhood by Nobody: 1:24pm On Sep 03, 2011 |

Re: Behold - Nigeria Most Expensive Neighbourhood by tpia5: 4:30pm On Sep 03, 2011 |
^^ the glass house is the ford foundation, banana island, lagos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ford-foundation/sets/72157624970462191/detail/ i take you've never seen the green and gold building in lagos either, since you're so astonished to see a glass house. |
Re: Behold - Nigeria Most Expensive Neighbourhood by Nobody: 6:15pm On Sep 03, 2011 |
Sorry to say that neighborhood doesn't have millionaires taste to me! I am very sorry to say that! Those apartment buildings are not standard enough to worth 2 million dollars!In fact they look like Arab low cost urban buildings. |

Re: Behold - Nigeria Most Expensive Neighbourhood by thuao(m): 10:04am On Sep 04, 2011 |
I don't see anything wrong there. If u ve ur money, go & buy. If u don't Kip shut. Personally if I ve that kind of money its no big deal. Let the rich gather there & Njoy themselve. Its their money, they can spend it on anything & anyhow, If them like make them buy bedspace for $10m. |

sorry @tpia the pics you put up does not warrant my response with pictures of new average enclave in Tdot! untill i see something great, i can not be responding with something glorious!! pls stop elevating mediocrity!! people here are even less aware than i had originally thought! a girls father pays N10,000 a month for 1driver; N14,000 for 2house-girls; N12,000 for a gateman = N36,000 a month right!?! okay, add a 2nd driver at another N14,000 a month and we round it to N50,000 a month and when she has a topic about a date she went on, she tells us about her driver and gateman n house help and when i say pls forget about all that, tell us what we need to know, she says how there you talk to me that baba god has blessed with riches, hur my mother gets that much money the entire N50,000 from me every month for her food and meds!! so pls when some of us wants to know what is so special about this place that these people spends these outrageous sums to buy a plot of build on it and we wanna see pictures, we are not all talking from bad belly becos we r all poor okay, so pls hear us out so that at the end people can be educated but with rounded info and then decide if they would buy a place like that or invest the money in industries and provide jobs for the million million niaja youth graduates jobless on the streets!! pls the picture i put up here is not an Office building, it's just an apartment building that people live in just as you have in your pictures above and if u dont stop the noise i will put up 100 similar to this, and if the noise continue then i will start putting up entire streets made of glass residential buildings that ordinary people live in, okay,
