Shonibare is a beautiful estate I live there every time I come back to Nigeria. I have a property there. I recommend everyone to visits it someday, there are some shortlet apartments you can rent.

[@gma4004]

Iam interested in renting property there how can you help please?

[@ToluNazzal]

Thank you

[@olusesiolayinka7996]

Wow wow wow. I have not seen this estate in over 25 years now. When I was in Nigeria, one of my uncles use to leave at the Airforce quarters in the estate. I normally go into the estate via the Jesu Oyingbo entrance

[@ToluNazzal]

Aww that jesu oyingbo my mum used to point out the place to us growing up and there used to be a baboon somewhere at the maryland junction we used to stop there.

Wow that's a long time. Thank You so much for watching.

[@hendricksismael7810]

You are correct, the old neighborhood should be restored to look new, outside is just as important as inside. I have seen estates in Scotland thats 1000 years old and still looking good. Nigeria is such a beautiful place if they change the maintenance culture it would be the crown jewel of africa.

[@ToluNazzal]

You are right Sir.

[@abodunrinabayomi8808]

Most old houses shown here are good. And the estate is nice! Inferiority complex, always comparing! How many 1000 years old estates are in Scotland? Scotland that is not up to the whole of Lagos!

[@passiveaggressive6175]

I lived off the Ikorodu road in the 1970s, early 1980s. It was called Maria Lodge and me and my sister went to Maryland convent and my brother went to Corona. I had friends in GRA and Mende Village. And my mother shopped at Leventis behind Maryland School. We eventually moved further up the road nearer the school (behind NEPA) and Mende Village - so it was an easy walk to school. 10 mins.thanks for the memories❤️🙏🏾

[@RoyalProclamations]

Nostalgic! This brought back SO many memories. Not sure how it ended up on my feed. I grew up here. Right behind the estate & Jesu Oyingbo. There was a restaurant and Chimpanzee at the entrance of Shonibare estate. The Shonibare’s are my cousins. We have property there and A street is named after my late dad: Tola Adewunmi Close. You did your homework. Can you share the other side of Shonibare Estate? Behind Jesu Oyingbo ? Is the school still there? Maryland Convent Private School?

[@ToluNazzal]

Yes that Chimpanzee.. we used to stop by there growing up so it was by the entrance. Where was Atlantic Hall School. Please subscribe to this channel and click the bell icon so you get to see more lovely videos from me. Thank you for watching 🙂

[@uknowamsaying]

This looks like an Upper-Middle class estate to me. There are obviously nice houses in it, but the estate needs to work on the aesthetics of the externals/streets to be able to compete effectively for this upper-middle class market with the emerging estates in the Lekki Peninsula axis (i.e. Lekki Phase 2 and Ajah areas; no way it can compete with Lekki Phase 1).

[@konukonu6368]

You mentioned this as the first mixed race settlement/ housing estate. That kind of resonates with me, because I have a few friends who are mixed race with ( old money )and a number of them live here. And I've often wondered why. Now I can see , thank you.

It is very clear this country is not ready for the future. I cannot imagine such amount of money for wonky houses in an area poorly developed like that. There is just something wrong with Nigeria that annoys me all the time. There is nothing that is done to standard in this country yet with a huge price tag. Jeez!

[@ToluNazzal]

Although most of these neighbourhoods particularly on the mainland are old so you get to see better developments in newer estates. Lagos basically developed on its own before it could be planned properly and now its bursting however efforts are being made to enhance it bit by bit. The roads used to be so narrow but they are expanding and much more.
