Garshyzee:

Oboi d traffic from lakowe to ajah for mornings na die.. Then from ajah to jakande.. Na world war 5...if u wan pack go ajah. Better get helicopter

LorDBolton:


What is this one saying? Semi-ghetto ke? Maybe those lakowe side sha

But awoyaya down to ajah round about got many nice estates.

But ehn that 24 hr traffic from vgc - ajah? Damn! It's unbearable especially in the afternoon

You're right @nice estates. Besides, people also own very nice houses in this area outside the estates. For the traffic, once the reconstruction of those roundabouts are completed and a traffic light introduced (from from what I heard), the problem will be solved to a very large extent. Lekki is over rated.

Opinionated:
There seems to be a recent trend of Lagos residents moving from the Lekki area of Lagos Island to the Ajah area and most people are wondering why this is the case. Yes, Lekki seems to be “prettier” than Ajah and it accommodates a certain kind of residents, but frankly, if you are based in Lekki because you want a better quality of life or you think it’s just a better area to inhabit, well, maybe we can make you reconsider. Jumia Travel shares 5 possible reasons Lagosians are now moving from Lekki to Ajah.


The rent in Ajah is not ridiculous

It is no secret that Lekki is a high brow area and so it accommodates some of the most expensive properties in the state. The rent is extremely high and unless you have a blue-collar job, you will be renting forever and struggling to make ends meet. Ajah, although not as cheap as areas on the mainland, offers various options way cheaper and affordable.


Cost of living is bearable

When it comes to cost of living on the island and peninsula area, Ajah is top because of the area’s relatively low cost of living, including consumer prices, utilities and transport costs and, most importantly, house rent. There is easy access to local markets, and people who live there have a better shot at getting some of the things associated with middle-class life.


Power supply

Lekki may seem fabulous, but they regularly battle with an inadequate power supply issue. Ajah on the other hand has better power supply and so, you are not forced to spend a lot of money on fuel or diesel for less electric bill.


Ajah residents are normal people

Unlike the people who reside in the Lekki area, the Ajah residents are unpretentious and down-to-earth and basically the people are easy to get along with. There is no silent competition among the residents as regards affluence or status. People live their lives normally basically.


Ajah is family-friendly

Because of its good-value housing, Ajah has been particularly popular with families. You have access to reasonable mortgage and pretty good schools. Also, restaurants are invariably family-friendly.

Moved from the mainland to Ajah(Thomas Estate) in 2015. Now I'm back on the mainland. Traffic, hell whenever it rains, wall and kitchen was a mess in less than 6 months despite renovating before I moved in and I needed about 250k to plaster and paint the wall, change the kitchen cabinet and rebuild the chamber. Just an overrated area.

guys o, if you have money and you want to live comfortably, which part in Lagos is the best to stay... I live in Edo..

ednut1:
by ajah u mean lakowe awoyaya sangotedo etc? instead of moving to ajah move to yaba. ajah traffic na die, from ikate to jakande and den from vgc to ajah. ajah na semi ghetto

Op didn't mention traffic , chisos traffic na die!!!! +too much social miscreants these days

lozanni:


Magodo is better as it is more serene and beautiful, unlike Yaba that is more commercialised.

There are residential areas in yaba too but I'd take magodo over yaba too.

Shut up! Even Lekki has a ghetto. Ajah is no ghetto...and Ajah has the highest number of organized estates in Lagos.

dosht:
People are still sleeping

but you are typing? or is it dream work?

dfrost:
Mainland is the thing. I can't imagine going to stay on the Island again unless work takes me there then I'll have to get an accommodation close by else it's a no-no for me. The traffic can kill someone mentally.

If your work is in ikoyi then u wont be facing traffic at all from mailand.. i cant say of ajah vi lekki tho

Goldenheart:
fake lives....

Seconded fake life ...some dat doesn't have the money will move ova because dey wanna be
I know of den regional manager dat hs wife forced him dat they must build house in lekki...Along the line D man got sacked dat was wen bank dey retrench staff..D man said D money he has spent on the house construction can build 10 mighty house in ibadan where he resides,,,, now D house s yet to b completed and money s nt longer coming in.
Wanna be wanna be wanna be

Imagine, somebody getting home 1:30 - 2:00 AM all because of, i live on the island. Lekki-Ajah especially.
When guys come for appointment on the mainland, they delay their stay hence traffic palava.

This are all lies!
Ajah is very volatile too many communal clasheclashes there.

Traffic alone in ajah can make one violent.

Unless it's ajah of say 15 years ago and not this present ajah.

Elchappo:
A bottle of beer on lekki is #500 whereas a bottle at ajah sells for 250-300 naira...

So Na watin dey PAIN U B DAT.....COMMON BOTTLE......

Langbasa!





Don't u dare ever move in there.

Ajah traffic could make u start havin suicidal thoughts. Its dat bad

bobo65:

True matter bros.. I da think park go ogun state sef

People living in far far Ajah, spending 3 hours in traffic everyday.

Better to move to Yaba.

Ok

holluwai:


There are residential areas in yaba too but I'd take magodo over yaba too.

how about for someone that works in Lagos Island? which is better? yaba or magodo? I know yaba very well but I not magodo.

I love my Ikorodu to die, not that I can afford to buy or build a properties in Lekki. Any time I'm in Nigeria I just love the atmospheres and the vibes in Ikorodu you see different kind of people around good and bad fat and ugly I mean a diversity people that just make my day.

I am tired of living solitary life in the UK. I know there is a lot of Nigeria that lives in London but I'm afraid I do not fancy London life style.
I don't want to come back to Nigeria and be doing exactly same thing. Have only seen my neighbour maybe once in the last 6 months I don't even know who lives 2 doors away.

Make una come lokoja

dangotesmummy:
Msheeeeww.those areas have unreasonably expensive food markets

Tomato you can buy for 200 in a regular market they can call it 1k in lekki and ajah because of packaging. All of them be forming spre spre.

Rada rada

No be you born dangote? Why you come dey complain when you suppose dey use N1k dey do toilet roll?


Or na him step mother you be?

For someone working on the mainland (Ojodu-Berger) precisely. Which area is comfortable and less costly to rent a house?
