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.

[@Ludo_Liu]

thanks a lot my dear for that comment, i enjoyed learning about lagos history while doing that video, and i am happy to share it with you !

[@kemisolaolaleye-4763]

You can say that again, growing up in Lagos and some of this places have watched on Ludo Liu's blog are so impressive

[@adewalegabriel3236]

I love your work sir, you've indeed brought Lagos to me here in the UK. I've been watching your contents on my TV account so couldn't drop a comment but I feel so much joy watching this particular video, had to drop this comment. Keep up the good work, we appreciate what you do. I and my family always watch your videos. Good luck 👍

thank you so much to take time to tell me this lovely feedback ! Has i said before, it is a real boost of motivation for me to know some viewers really appreciate that work a lot ! I wish you a very good evening !

This is a shithole

[@prospektarty1513]

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

[@Ludo_Liu]

thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us here. i really appreciate reading these comments !

[@therealist2866]

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]

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.

[@jaiyeolaalli3885]

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..

[@prospektarty1513]

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

[@Ludo_Liu]

I like a lot Obalende, this place as a lot of potential too, very well situated. no doubt the eyes will open on it in the coming years

It will be advisable for the Lagos state Governor to invest in trucks that sweep the roads instead of using people to sweep motorways. They can sweep streets as it’s done in western countries.

[@Ludo_Liu]

that s true that these would be a lot more efficient

[@broking_ActsCh.8v.39]

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?

[@Ludo_Liu]

thanks a lot for your comment ! the font i am using and the effect as well as the historical captions i put there, are eally time consuing. I could have uloaded the raw footage, but i really want to add value. then i am glad you appreciate, i think i worked around 30 hours for that video.. then 30 hours encoding...; etc... 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...

[@TheIrieman15]

It was nice seeing you for the first time Ludo (1:07) buying your beans hahaha Kind of you to help her with her basket. It's amazing how they balance those loads on their heads: tradition

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.

Love Bourdillon Road!

[@Ludo_Liu]

this is a nice street indeed

[@JanJan-pq4im]

Street cleaning all over and around Lagos, please. The city should start doling out hefty fines to litterbugs. Shameful!

[@Ludo_Liu]

yeah i agree, this is a problem we should start to deal with now, without waiting for our leaders to help.

[@youme1414]

[@Ludo_Liu]

i thing negativism is also big part of what you describe as decline.... try to be positive, you'll see life is not bad

try to turn on the 4 K ultra HD and look on a proper screen :) you will see the difference

[@randyjohnson3412]

What's with all those empty Police Booths that I see? I never see any police in them. Only once have I seen people inside them, and they did not look like police.

[@Ludo_Liu]

they sometimes use them to instal some check points, or have a nap....

A friend just share this with me and and it brought back memories. Lived in Obalende odo street precisely, made me want to come back home. Vi, ikoyi, used to be where i worked. Thanks

[@Ludo_Liu]

Glad you enjoyed it, and glad a user of the channel shared it with you ! please feel free to subscribe and take a look at the other videos on the channel. it may bring many good memories

[@mayventour8571]

very unusually interesting, some of the script are without matching scenes though

[@Ludo_Liu]

thanks a lot for your feedback !

[@sheldonlatimer6688]

You're on the way to the rich begins but there's a lot of poor people you are passing by in the way

[@Ludo_Liu]

especially in the "westeren " part of the island, in Obalende

[@gacaptain]

Why do people there insist on walking in a busy road even when they have perfectly good empty sidewalks? They would soon be dead in an American city. Smh!

[@Ludo_Liu]

i guess this is because they are used to very unwelcoming side walks...; sometimes side walk is more dangerous than road here...

[@gacaptain]

@@Ludo_Liu Here in Atlanta USA even walking on a bad sidewalk or no sidewalk at all is safer than walking in the road. Traffic moves fast and drivers are not used to seeing people in the road except at designated crossing walks or intersections. People get run over and killied a lot here even with them being much safer about walking in roads than Nigerians. Atlanta has many bad sidewalks too. But you NEVER want to just walk up and down a busy street lane here like those people were. Unless you are just tired of living that is. Lol

[@jandroniol]

One thing that surprises me about many African cities is the importance given to the car, offering it first class roads, and the contempt for pedestrians, who have to invade the space of cars because they cannot walk on the sidewalks. They would have to demand good spaces for walking.

[@Ludo_Liu]

that s a very wise comment ! and beside that car are the cause of heavy congestion in the cities... thanks a lot for your comment

[@prospektarty1513]

I knew Obalende immediately I saw it. It’s the only part of the islands outside Isale -Eko (meaning downtown Lagos) that looks like the mainland.

[@Ludo_Liu]

yes that s true , it feels like in the mainland in obalende

[@horatioh5469]

What a really interesting ride! thank you for taking us along.

[@kayomavoroofigo337]

The sidewalks don't look very user friendly--physically challenged people will have problems using them---then the absence of trees to beautiful and provides shades on the sidewalks---and the open drainage system makes Ikoyi , Obalende and Victoria Island look like ghettos when compared to Canadian cities like in the Greater Toronto Area and Metro Vancouver.

[@Ludo_Liu]

thanks a lot for commenting ! Are you watching from Canada ?

[@gacaptain]

[@erikev]

Please do not hard comments in the video. Add it to the index instead. This way your viewers dont have to watch everything to get context

[@Ludo_Liu]

i spent more than 50 hours to do the video, doing research editing uploading... shooting. sorry if you need to seat one hour to look at the result, but i like it slow and peaceful

[@georginabuckle6405]

Beautiful but there is no highway code to follow for the roads in Nigeria as I can see that there is or will be car collosion we will not see in the video.

[@Ludo_Liu]

thanks for watching...

C'est une autre face , y'a pas à dire, et j'espère que ce modèle existera pour chacun d'entre eux dans cette ville, en tous les cas je leur souhaite de tout mon coeur et c'était différent mais aussi très bien car il faut tout montrer même si quelquefois ça dérange. .

oui c'est une facette de lagos, une parmis tant d'autre. merci d'avoir passé ta soirée devant l'écran ! bonne nuit !

Relaxing and watching. Few people on the road in Ikoyi. Please keep them coming. I'm looking forward to the Oshodi Boys video.

Sheesh I was waiting to see rich luxury areas the whole video! If that’s luxury to them they’d think the hoods in watts, Compton, and south central are just HEAVEN 😂

[@Ludo_Liu]

thanks for watching

[@prospektarty1513]

Shame there’s been little or no investment in regenerating Keffiyehs and Obalende while much money has been pored into vI, ikoyi proper and the Lekki areas. Sad.

[@Ludo_Liu]

yes the investisment are concentrated in only few parts of the city. hope it'll expand to all the city in the coming years !

[@therealist2866]

The people in those supposedly “neglected” parts of Lagos do not want your investment. They believe it’s a guise to steal their property.
