PrimadonnaO: My dear mainland sucks. I dont like it here either. But then, can we cope with the island stress and hold up too ? The sanity level reduces on the island. |
Re: Lagos Mainland Vs Island. by DoctorOlasDesk: 10:55pm On Mar 15, 2022 |
UyaiIncomparabl: It is the norm everywhere any where from jakande stretching towards awoyaya its usually 600k |

Re: Lagos Mainland Vs Island. by DoctorOlasDesk: 10:58pm On Mar 15, 2022 |
UyaiIncomparabl: Nope. 600k. The houses they use extreme furnishings is what shoots up to 1M. |

XTHRONE: Coming out of Ikeja to go to the island if you are working there is not that smooth. Gbagada is better. |

DoctorOlasDesk: A room self in Agungi is about 500k (serviced apartment) excluding the agency and agreement fees. She pays lesser at LBS. Not to even talk of Ikate where you'll be paying millions. |
Re: Lagos Mainland Vs Island. by UyaiIncomparabl(f): 11:03pm On Mar 15, 2022 |
DoctorOlasDesk: Maybe not Lekki 1 to Agungi sha. |

Craigbrown4076: This comparison always comes up. One babe was staying on the mainland but always longed to live on the island. She eventually moved to lekki. Now she wants to go back to the mainland and is looking for a place. She said the life there is fake. People are just packaging. A guy will wind up his car windows but has no AC ![]() Bad water, traffic, fake people, etc. 8 Likes |

Craigbrown4076: This is true depending on where you reside on the mainland, I live in the Berger area and power is at least 18 hours, I use prepaid as well, good road, water, cheaper rent, etc. the only but is traffic when coming to Island if you don’t leave the house early, I have friends who leave house 5 am and a couple of them leave 6 am. 4 Likes |

UyaiIncomparabl: @ UyaiIncomparabl AND PrimadonnaO We all need to regain perspectives. When our parents generations where at our age. The first factor they considered was affordability so funds could be channeled to building finances and their lives. When we choose very expensive places and start with that, we starve ourselves off disposable income which could have been channeled to building our lives at the expense of comfort and luxury. Let me gist you what i did when i left the island My business is in the cloud which means i can pack up and relocate anytime. I structured my business this way so my life doesn't stop whenever i need to move. So guess what, i relocated to Mowe. Guess what i enjoyed? 20 hours light Road access perfect 2 Bedroom, wardrobe and all i didnt spend more than 300k total package per annum for a house thats worth almost 750k per annum on the island. Within that one year, i built up, climbed the ladder faster than i did on the island in 5 years. With finances built, i re-routed to berger and grew 5 times more than I was at Mowe cause i had saved more disposable cash. 3 years now, mmy blueprint shows the success rate i would never had achieved on the island in ten years within just 3 years. Now im returning. SO if you see the projectile curve i took, it was channeled to self development. Island is making lives stunted. People remaining on the same financial level for years 9 Likes 1 Share |

Do not mention Ajah, Ibeju Lekki in the same sentence with Magodo or Berger. Magodo is 3 times more expensive than Ajah and Ibeju Lekki. Move to serene part of Ikorodu for your peace of mind. Serious value for money. Dry land too. With canoe, you will be in Ajah in 30 minutes. Ikeja is my all time favorite hood in Lagos, though. 5 Likes 1 Share |

DoctorOlasDesk: Wait o, can Berger be considered as Mowe? |
Re: Lagos Mainland Vs Island. by DoctorOlasDesk: 11:37pm On Mar 15, 2022 |
UyaiIncomparabl: Technically cause it takes me just 30 minutes to get to Mowe from Berger. I take a bike. But dont confuse me. I had apartments in Mowe and Berge and Ajah at he same time so i'm always moving. If i feel dull in one city, I move to the other I dey even rent anoher apartment next week for Oyo ![]() |

UyaiIncomparabl:when it comes to high quality of living, distance is rarely never a factor for making a choice; especially when taken the bad indices of Lagos in relation to global livability standards. |

DoctorOlasDesk:globetrotting within a particular region in Nigeria with a uniform culture is a little bit farfetched. I guess touring would be likely appropriate for such situation. well, Nigeria seems like a country with very few developed places. Some places that meet the global benchmark for cities are fewer than five. most regions like North East, and its adjacent places are very wanting in that area. |
Re: Lagos Mainland Vs Island. by StAmbrose1(m): 11:53pm On Mar 15, 2022 |
UyaiIncomparabl:That is a good reason. But you have to consider better reasons like light, security, the cost of living, and serene and less toxic environment (fake life, and high risk of catching affluenza). 1 Like |
