Mummyfour:
The light situation in festac is so terrible 😔. For all the years I go to Lagos that I stay in Festac, 1st avenue especially light na wahala o.
Just came back again last week. We could go for 2 weeks without light. The roads are very bad. No drainages. Usually flooded when it rains.
Festac has indeed lost its initial glory.
The sound of generator from almost every house in festac can deafen someone.
I grew up in festac extension mile 2 estate. Even that area sef dey get light pass festac.

turawaa:
Who remember a platform then called " FACE OF FESTAC " Just like nairaland of now.


Black face, faze alone and 2face use to hang out there.


I remember vividly, FESTAC town used to have a game house where you convert your Naira to Coins to play games

Only Banks, Nipost and Shoprite Mall are the only valuable things at festac now

dangotesmummy:
festac in the 90s n early 2000s was a sight to behold.very serene and secured but the moment they started selling it to the highest bidder, yahoo boys and all sorts of clowns, I knew it was over

camaraderi:


The Eastern people messed that up with their forced occupation and prostitution and drugs damaged Festac.
Festac was compared to Ikoyi back in the day.

Hotice085:


All the parks at 2nd Avenue 207 and 5th Avenue was our Arena
The best environment for any kids
Made friends with kids from ECOWAS quarters and Morroco

DUNDEEmoderatos:

So you don't know that those places you are mentioning are where the indigens stays, more like their "villages" dating back to hundreds of years, including Lagos Island.
Moreover this post is not even about low or high income it is about keeping your environment clean. Majority of the people living in Festac are Igbos ( mind you they bought most of the houses from people) but look at the environmental damage they have done to the place.

NothingDoMe:
Wasn't all wonderland though. Festac was rough too. Especially 4th Avenue. Festac college was the roughest secondary school in the town. Followed by Festac Grammar School and that all girls school. I've forgotten the name. 😄

Rayd502:
There used to be one notorious dude then by name Scoro,I think he lives around 22 Road.

The whole of Festac knew that guy in the early 90s.

Hotice085:


Rough wetin! All those wannabes wey know fit stand Mile 2 boys, schools in Agboju school village or Tolu boys
Grammar school wey too butter, abeg no call FESTAC secondary as rough abeg
Can you name any bad boy

YouAreNobody:


I understand but if you're talking about environmental damage, the areas I mentioned which are mostly occupied by Yorubas, such as Orile and Mazamaza are also in similar or worse shape

ericmor:


Makay, 21 road is where you can find me in those days

Beremx:
Festac Town has lost its glory. Bad roads and shops everywhere. Almost all ground floor of block of flats have been converted to business centres. Duplexes are not left out in the madness. The last time Festac Town had a good serenity of environment was in the early 2000s.

I miss the town though cos I was born and bred there.

Harddiskng:
Nostalgia

No inch of Festac wey i no trek that year

raskymonojendor:

Festac used to be multicultural. Guess the people that live in festac nowadays after they hijacked it.
The tribe starts with an I and ends with O. They invaded the town and messed it up.

Before and after below 👇

Afonja007:
The first time I visited festac maybe 1992 then very clean town water never stop running today

kereman1:

Dude soo you are pained cos your trybes menh can afford to buy houses or rent houses in festac, but rather live in ajegunle, orile, MAZAMAZA, agboju etc. Isheri is just an outskirts of festac go there and see the wonders that men are building.
Govt didn't give permission for residents or house owner to build, demolish and reconstruct their choice of architecture.

Obaofpigs what's your take on this?

AerialMapper:


There was a video club then that had a game house inside and an arcade upstairs. Spent hours there playing street fighter! We hated the fact that it was build in a field where we played but with a game house, fast food outlet and a laundry opposite us... We couldn't complain

It was called Mad House. I never liked it because it was too rough. There was one game house between 322 Road A close and 41 Road A close. I think it was called Mega something.
