it cost nothing less than 12-15m to rent a 2bdr apartment at ocean parade besides service charge of $10k, if you can afford such, you are a big boy.

I frequented there a lot at some point

that is interesting
12m per annum for rent?

I won't pay above 5m for rent anywhere in this world

That's a snippet of the place, it's in banana island.

The place is really chilly, could be boring for some Sha as it's not bubbling with bars and hotels left but for me it's an idea place to live (environs wise).

There is a gym, massive pool, playground for kids, 24/7 light, situated close to the ocean so you can sit by the area and meditate, not to forget za rich neighbours lol

Hmmm...how many Nigerians can really afford living there.

And I am sure most of those apartments will be empty.

I see

but still

I can't pay more than N5m or it's equivalent on rent anywhere in this world

And charging that high rent in a third world failed shithole destroyed zoo country is just a paradox, as it has no basis whatsoever
but then
It's a free country

few haves, many many have nots

They don't call Lagos (VI, Ikoyi, Lekki) most expensive SLUM in the world for nothing.

Fools paradise that ur annual income can't pay for a self contain there.

MackyNaija:

I am new to the area so I cannot say.

Please do Not put California and decent cost of living in the same sentence.
I advice anyone except those coming here to gain experience while earning a living wage to stay away except you are okay to p1ss away all your earning in living cost.

My opinions might be biased, I lived in cheap Texas before cutthroat California.

heard so many naija nurses are in Texas. you seen them? is it true?

Please dont put Ikoyi and Slum in the same sentence
Thanks

You must be a wizard to know how much I earn.
Anyway. if land or property was sold for cheap there, I still won't buy shyte.
I would rather buy in a world class city like T-dot or London.

I wasn't the one that originally called it that. I just borrowed the sentence.

The article stated that "Lagos State/City is the Most Expensive Slum in the World."

And yes, Ikoyi is in Lagos.

But the ikoyi i knw is extremely far from it..besides every country has their slum areas..

Forget those news of Lekki Flood uppandan on FP..I just laugh wen i see them..U stay @ Lekki Gardens so wat do u expect ..Even the Almighty october1st rain looked like showers in my place..Lets not derail though

I concur... It's been several years since I heard of the term Expensive Slum aka Lagos.


For the Ikoyi residents, as long as you leave your house to venture into VI or Lekki, you have been Slumalized/Slumbabled too!


When I was very young, I used to wonder why people would pay so much and still water from the BarBeach will overrun their homes..

Abeg make we leave this matter. Remember the flood of circa 2017?

deuzgreat:

Nope... I was busy attending school, I no look woman sorry nurses.

Most Nigerians are of the opinion that nurses make a lot of money so they don't hesitate to become one.

Ikoyi sef is included. Except Dolphin Estate and the highbrow Osborne are no longer parts of Ikoyi again

How I go buy $1,000,000 - $2,000,000 property in a flood zone? Then start begging government for intervention

I also believe it is one of those few profession with demand i.e there are always jobs and not to hard to land a position after graduation.

i think its the demand that makes Nigerians go into Nursing or IT or are they paid better than Engineers?? Is there no demand for Engineers??
