PrimadonnaO: The fact is that some people living on the island believes they have arrived once they relocate to island.You will hear something like “I don’t cross the bridge “,as if those people staying in mainland are underdogs,whereas most island landlords resides in mainland . 7 Likes 1 Share |

Cuppycakes: Stop typing nonsense,you can’t get two bedroom for 580k in seaside .Ordinary room and parlor for a standard house is nothing less than 600k the Least you can get for 2 bed is 900-1.2m,except you are living in those mud houses.Mind you ,I have property in that area. 4 Likes |

How come not much is said about areas like Okota, Ejigbo, Ikotun on mainland? You can get affordable quality apartments and I think it is better than a place like Ajah even if you work on the Island. |

Hamachi: Lagos Island is not the Island we are talking about. I'm talking about lekki, ikate, Chevron, etc. My friends just moved from their one bedroom of 300k on the mainland to a 2 bedroom of 1.5m. And they said they were lucky to find it that cheap. Rent is unnecessarily high. Yet, they don't have good water. If you don't have a car, moving around won't be easy. School fees is higher there. The price of fiod stuffs in the market there is another issue. Cost of living there is generally high. That kind of lifestyle doesn't encourage saving, except you really have more than enough. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Greenarrow01: Don't go to Epe o. Don't let anyone deceive you. You will regret it. It's dulling. Just instal solar 300k jeje and don't go anything beyond Blenco supermarket. I tell you o. Lagos Business School environs is cool since you work from home. You can easily connect Sangotedo, Abaraham Adesanya, Ajah etc 2 Likes |

Even from the exterior, it looks pretty decent, organized and well coordinated. Do not give too much info on locations o. You'll be shocked how well informed people can be.

Klass99: I am afraid to ask how much living in that estate costs. There is an ongoing housing estate in ikoyi where generators are forbidden and all fence must be waist high. A plot starts at 500m. People are building at 1 billion naira houses. The place too is also slightly hidden. In the middle of slums But in all. Honestly y most of that area is not it. I spent the last week of 2021 on a hospital in asapa London or how do they call it. Narrow roads, overflowing gutters and too many spaces I did not feel comfortable walking around at night. 1 Like |

GloriousGbola: Its the same shii with Ikoyi. Too silent for our mental health. We need some human activities and noise. Reason why many people love Lekki. It's a combination of serenity and healthy interactions with other humans unlike Ikoyi where one locks one self up like a bird in a cage 1 Like |

DoctorOlasDesk: It's just sad that people don't consider contexts when dishing out advice. Not everyone has business in the cloud... People have physical businesses, schools, etc in specific locations that only make common sense that they also live in that axis. ******* And in my opinion, no price is too much for convenience, and peace of mind. ************* I'll use myself for instance. I work on the island, but it's a hybrid arrangement, so I don't get to go to the office everyday. So maybe right now, I can move to the mainland if I wish. But what will I be doing on the mainland? I won't also stay with this company forever. The likely companies I'll be joining with the way I've planned my career, would also be on the island. So why move to the mainland? The rent I pay for my current place can also get me a place in Lekki Phase One, but it may not suit my taste and needs. We all have different tastes. What one person calls the perfect decent apartment may not be my own definition of the perfect apartment. Also, I'm reasonably close to work. And I'm also at the heart of where the rest of my life revolves...church, shopping malls, my main friends, leisure centres. Finally, I prefer the ambience here... and that's important for me, too. **** So really, y'all should let people be with this mainland-island thing. 4 Likes |
