Interesting piece. The environment where a child is raised truly shapes the child. Tolet is doing a great job. I'll use their service when I'm ready to settle down |

Shout out to all of us who grew up at Okokomaiko without attending a school where phonetics is thoroughly learnt, without having classmates who discuss overseas vacation, a neighbourhood without a mall, cinema etc but we still have hope for a great future! 7 Likes 1 Share |

New oko oba,Agege is a nice area to raise kids too...it boasts of good road networks that Connects you to Agege, Abule egba Ikeja,Sango,Ishaga etc..its a central location too and accommodation is quite affordable... the environment is serene and not too crowdy with good schools like Providence Schools,Tofek schools,Md Schools etc well equipped hospitals like Ayodele hospital etc. It also has nice estate's within too...most people working in Ikeja and environs should consider this place..I also love the night life here too with so many hang outs and exotic bars.. It also shares close proximity to the famous Social Club road in Abule egba, the Glass house, Seedos Night club,Miyaki guest house with their nice wonderful grilled fish and chips with salad and correct babes at ur finger tips,01 shawarma is also available too with other major eateries ...what more can an area have that is not here..Also security is quite tight with the New oko oba police station at the heart of the area... 2 Likes |
