  • The Luxuary Ikoyi, Nigeria, is a video that brings you to Ikoyi and Obalende, to discover the history of these two places as well as the present development. Starting from Victoria Island Eko roundabout, we will fast reach Falomo bridge to cross to Ikoyi.
    From Awolowo , to Keffi, and Obalende, you'll visit the place till Bourdillon or Alexander road. You 'll maybe learn how the island was created and drained in some part with a canal...
    I hope you will like this dive into present and past developments of the the Famous Ikoyi neighbourhood in Lagos Nigeria.

    Ludo this is more than a vlog but a historic documentary of the city which will be appreciated by future generations. Your content is like no other in its comprehensiveness and gritty realism. You take us on a ride through the Lagos we would otherwise not see.

    Nice video. it has changed a fair bit from when we lived in Ikoyi after my parents took us back to the home country from the UK. At the time it was still very heavily colonial in architecture and very much a government residential area for senior civil servants. It was exclusively old fashioned too with very few new builds and very large gardens, some with tennis courts and lawns that backed on to the lagoon. It used to be very different from Victoria Island where I lived while at the law school. I remember crossing the five coweries’ creek from Victoria island to ikoyi and you could see the difference of between both islands. VI was wealthy in a brash new way while ikoyi had air of old worldliness. What has really changed is VI becoming the city’s new downtown district , a role that has traditionally belonged to Lagos Island since colonial times, while VI was mainly residential and diplomatic, with large 5 star hotels. The overhead pow elites in Lagos lends a generally shabbiness to the city in my opinion

      Like you, I recall a more “colonial” Ikoyi from my childhood (family relocated from the US to Luggard Ave). Memories! ❤️
      I also agree with your last point. That’s less of an issue in the newer parts of Lagos, like Lekki, Banana Island, Eko Atlantic, etc. Hopefully, it will be abated in the older parts of the city over the next few years with the full implementation of the “One Dig” Law.

    • @emexokezie7796
      @emexokezie7796 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree.... And even though the names of some of the key roads like what was 1st and 2nd avenue back then, buildings like Ikoyi hotel and even the noble looks of Ikoyi club-1938, on what was Mulliner Rd, all these erratic so called progressive changes are a kind of liberation of disaster from what was a really beautiful Ikoyi to a now very shabby commercial looking conjoined island.... We, who were a witness to that great look of say the 70s well into the end of the 80s into the early 90s, the current outlook proves Ikoyi is a place scrambled for by people trying to prove they can live in a nice place because they have a bit of cash... So the developments of recent have no relationship with the DNA of Ikoyi. A lost opportunity.

      Lugard Avenue - such an old memory hacking back to the 80s, hanging out in the quiet suburbs with all the green gardens of old colonial styled imposing homes everywhere one looked..looks awfully different, with barely any soul with Lego like structures erected literally against the skylines now. Might as well be in the outskirts of London, like Croydon - which is a rather awful place to visit..

    Obalende has the potential to develop an alternative bohemian arty vibe to ikoyi and VI with hip bars, cafes and restaurants. The government just needs to invest in tidying up the streets and giving out business permits. It could bring new businesses to the area and generate more employment prospects and improve residents income levels in the area

    Another very interesting, fascinating ride! Even though the sky was overcast I still enjoyed riding with you. As usual the historical notes, street names and other notes added to my enjoyment. The time and money you invest to present high quality travel vlogs is not taken for granted. The font you use in the foot notes is easy on the eyes, pleasant to look at and non distracting. There is a stark contrast between the habitations of the 'haves and the have nots' of Lagos. I have also noticed these same differences here in the urban centers of the America's. Municipal services and upkeep in areas where the the 'haves' reside are provided daily while these same services are limited or not provided at all in areas where the 'have nots' reside. Of course this situation is not new, but it has been going on far too long to keep ignoring it. Where is the humanity in this? I apologize for going off on something I feel so strongly about. Allow me to return to the positive. Highlights for me of our ride were the occasional joggers, construction workers, tractors, dump trucks, cement trucks and people in orange overhauls sweeping and picking up trash. I chuckled at your comment about being hungry again so soon after eating breakfast and then eating again at 9:00am. I was delighted to see you stop to buy some food and assist the vendor put her basket on her head. By the way, does harmattan mean fog, smog or clouds?

      The Harmattan is a kind is a kind of smog with dust and sand, it comes from sahara desert. the sand and dust is pushed in western africa during the season we use to call harmattan. i have a basic knowledge about it i wish i could answer deeper...

    I was born at Fowler Road in Ikoyi, almost opposite Ikoyi hôtel. TRUE ÔMO EKO. My Parish catholic church of Assumption at Falomo round-about. Ikoyi club and Golf Club was my territory. I met top Nigerian Police, military, officiers, politicians, governors, businessmen, foreign Embassies. I've not been there for over forty years. I'm Imo State. I live in France/Switzerland. I love Lagos inspite of her trafic jams and hustle life. Eko boys own Nigeria no matter their tribe. Obalende, Okaysuna, Idimotta, Yaba, Idioro, Surulere, Victoria Island where I worked for an international multinational. Lagos, oya how on dey ?

    Ludo please get access and do drive-throughs of the residential estates/condos. The newer residences look way better than old glorified Ikoyi. Ikoyi is absurdly expensive due to old fame. Lekki Phase 1 probably has a better road network. Another thing do the neighbourhoods and inner estates of Chevron Drive, Agungi, Osapa London, VGC, and on the mainland, a drive through of inside Magodo GRA, Gbagada GRA, Ikeja GRA and other GRAs Estates will be nice.

      Incidentally, harmattan takes its name from the Ghanaian Twi language, but that’s the only West African thing about it.
      The wind originates from the north easterly winds possibly in Siberia !
      It sweeps downwards towards Africa, loses its moisture in the Sahara (but picks up its dust instead) and bears down on West Africa as the harmattan wind!
