Overrated areas in Lagos to live in (A thread)

1. Ebute Metta East

The most useless area in Lagos Mainland, poor electricity, no car parking spaces, the street is where they park cars, cultists everywhere, living rooms be looking like rat house (very small), security is...https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index">

...very poor. The area smells like shit all the time and people still jump on it just because of location. Yet, a room self contain looking like garbage is 400k, a tiny 3-bedroom flat on Abeokuta street is 1.2m.

Who is doing you people?

Agency fee? Skyrocketed

The only thing Yaba can boast of is proximity to CBD.

Yet, a tiny miniflat is 400k, a 3-bedroom flat is 1.2m.

Ha, mogbe

3. Ajah

The most overrated area on the island as a whole. Ajah is just a pompous Ikorodu with over-bloated ego.

This same people act like they are living...

...in Lagos but they don’t believe people in Ikorodu are living in Lagos. Wow

Ajah is an outskirt of Lagos just like Badagry, Ikorodu, Epe and Iyana Ipaja. Get that fact

Sangotedo doesn’t make you a big boy neither does Badore

Yet, a 3 bedroom flat is 1.2 - 1.8m...overratedhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index">

Security? Poor

Proximity to CBD? Good

Noise? Number 1

Heat? Number 1

Cultism? Unmatched

This area is pure trash. You can enter someone’s living...https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index">

...room through another persons bedroom. From Obawole to Iga Iduganran, you can be robbed by your next door neighbour. No one cares.

When walking on the street at night, keep your phones at home.

No go area

5. Surulere

Car parking space? Fair

Housing? Poor

Agency? Dilemma

Proximity? Dope

The big problem about Surulere is Traffic and Noise which is due to the fact that every street has 2 or more beer parlour or club.

Also, if you manage to get a small fine apartment, the...

...price will send you back to the village.
