Lagos island is home to the creme de la creme of Lagos. Lekki, in particular, has received its envied status because of the many opportunities it provides to randomly bump into one celebrity or the other.
Timaya, Davido, Tiwa Savage, 2 Baba, Funke Akindele and several other A-list celebrities have chosen the Lekki side of the island to locate their homes. Houses within this area in estates like Richmond Gate Estate and Amen Estate can cost anywhere from 150 million naira to 500 million naira or more. Definitely no chump change. Since like attracts like, the more stars and celebrities move to Lekki, the more aspiring stars also seek to land real estate in the area. It is an undeniable mark of success for a Nigerian celebrity.
Past Victoria Island and into the inland, lies Lekki. The roundabout, as well as the busy junction, welcome you to Lekki Phase One. Lekki contains some of the glitziest streets in Lagos. Home to several sprawling duplexes and it gives a ‘hiding in plain sight feel’, which is good for a celebrity that wants to be seen but still would want to keep a low profile.
Lekki is a better alternative because though cheaper, it is not too far away from the areas where true wealth is, so the celebrities can still rub shoulders and elbows with some of the truly wealthy. It is also still expensive enough to be bragged about, it is exclusive as well, because of its ‘island’ status.
Lekki is also right there on the pulse of entertainment areas in Lagos. On Lagos Island is where you have the largest concerts, the biggest outings, the classiest dinners, the right crowd. Lekki grants easy access to many of the places that a celebrity will want to be seen.
Lekki has everything that a celebrity in Nigeria wishing to be a homeowner wants. Just enough class, taste, glitz, access and wealth.
