- Ikeja Lagos is the capital city of Lagos State in southwestern Nigeria, Prior to the emergence of military rule in the early 1980s, Ikeja was a well planned, clean and quiet residential and commercial town with shopping malls, pharmacies and government reservation areas.
Early in the 20th century it became an agricultural hinterland for Lagos; kola nuts were first grown in Nigeria in this area. The opening of the Lagos-Ibadan railway in 1901 and the growth of Lagos as a port transformed Ikeja into a residential and industrial suburb of that city. In the mid-1960s an industrial estate was established, and in 1976 Ikeja became the capital of Lagos state.
The city was previously known as 'Akeja,' and was named after the deity that the Awori people worshipped. Over time, the name became distorted, eventually becoming Ikeja. However, some claim that the name Ikeja is an acronym for 'Ikorodu and Epe Joint Administration.'
Ikeja is 17 km North-West of Lagos State, and has districts such as Anifowose, Ogba, Onigbongbo, Oregun, Ojodu, Opebi, Alausa etc.
This City is not called the state capital for nothing. it houses Africa biggest technology Market (Computer Village) , Murtala Muhammed International Airport , Big Shopping malls , Various Parks and luxury Hotel's, Making it one of Africa best cities to live in.

Who in their right mind will confuse this with America?
exactly
Nigeria 🇳🇬 is beautiful 👍🏾Am proud to be a Nigerian 🇳🇬🤎 beautiful places 👍🏾 thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Ikeja is far more beautiful and updated than the last time I visited Lagos, KUDOS GUYS!!
Lagos mainland is actually very beautiful. People give it such a bad rep.
Very true
So true
I'm a mainland cat. Everything and everywhere is within reach. For me, visting the Island is like going on a vacation. Mainland gives the complete Lagos vibe.
True, people have recency bias
Driving around Ikeja, capital of Lagos State is always a delight
Yes Ikeja is such a beautiful city to drive in
At the first sight i realise that it's not America...
No need to compare, this stands on its own! It's a different vibe! Love the wide open spaces!
Glad you like it!
Nice city, would love to visit soon.
Please do! , you'll love it in Lagos.
Lagos Street and traffic hawkers need to be instructed to buy visible reflective vest while trading at traffic and on the streets. This should be legislated. This will keep them safer and organised while out there selling to passengers in cars and various vehicles. At night, a laminated vest is essential too as the country struggles to supply street lights power.
Beatiful and Clean 👏🏻 but I wish buses can be rebranded to color white, to make the city look less disorganized. Color Yellow seem to be too loud and it disfigures the face of lagos .
You can't find yellow buses on the Island from Ikoyi, Victoria Island to Lekki. Only on the Mainland but they will soon be phased out... Cos the Govt is providing alternatives like the last mile buses, light rail, Lagos Ride (Blue cabs) etc
Economic Capital City of Nigeria
Of Africa 😁😁
The headline is way off and ridiculous. Who would mistaken this for US? Sure it has improved, yet it has a long way to go
Actually lagos is very beautiful If we remove the useless touts, yellow buses, roadside traders, street hawkers and littering.
Are there street toilets 🚻 available??? Even a manned or security paying one?
The background music is too loud 🔊 🔊
Sorry about that, will make adjustment in my next video
No ody thought it was america
Of course it is not America. It doesn't even look anything like an American city, so your headline is actually misleading.
Nigeria one of the best places to be just that our government is bad
Too much traffic in lagos
Yeah the traffic in Lagos is crazy
On the contrary, Lagos is not the capital city of Nigeria.
Economic capital city of Nigeria
Commercial capital
You need to calm down and re-read the caption.. it says "It's the CAPITAL CITY OF LAGOS"... Meaning, capital of Lagos = Ikeja. The caption does not mean Lagos is Nigeria's capital.
The thumbnail its self shows that it is not America but Nigeria a developing country.
See how dusty the road is? Please I love my fellow African country but please stop with the stupid comparison because the thumbnail doesnt even support what you are trying to potray .
Have you been to Ghana?
Who ask you if this is America 😂. A well travelled guy just upon seeing this place will definitely know that this is a city of Africa and not America.
😃 of course , but Ikeja lagos do look beautiful.
Yes, Ikeja is beautiful. I hope my country's capital city will look beautiful like Ikeja. Congratulation to all Lagosians.
Fortunately this blame is far more structured and have soul than many cities in U.S. Fyi, I grew up in Chicago and I'm currently here. Forget Hollywood, U.S have more fucked up places than Nigeria or other places in Africa
@@Feroxx65 which country are you from?
@@mrnaija101 Why say so?😊
The title is funny. It doesn't look like America in the first place. If that is your American dream them you need to dream better, sir.
Funny you don't know it's a click bait. He already got you to view 😆
I'm raised in U.S and ill rather be anywhere in Nigeria than that soulless, come and drugs ridden place and called America. There's a reason majority of their billionaires run to build mansions in Africa. Bill Gates is a prime example
Every little opportunity y'all would want to bash or talk down Nigeria. Where you are, is it your fatherland or colonial master's? That makes you feel cool and non African right? 😅
@@alegbekehinde8753he knows exactly that it is click bait .There are so many videos with such captions but the thumbnails they use support the caption or title.
This video's thumbnail literally supports the title this is not America indeed even a blind man would see. You can clearly see from the picture this country is not developed so its a stupid title honestly.
Check Steven Ndukwu's recent video about 'Europe in Africa' you can clearly see what he/ Steven is talking about ,
not this joke of a video.
Please has Lagos stopped smelling?
I read your comments and knew right away that you were Igbo. Your Biafra dp proved it. You guys are predictably bitter. Tueh!
@triedstone1115 you're f00l to think he's an Igbo. A Ghanaian doing there thing in every Nigerian content.
Don't be silly. If u have been bullied and harassed the way Igbos have been, how would u be feeling?
@@triedstone1115honestly, from an outsider looking in, this tribalism needs to stop. I am neutral, but you Nigerians are stronger when united. I am telling you other African countries will use the divide in your country to defeat you, or use against you. Igbo is great, Yoruba is great. Both tribes have their strong qualities.
@@ugoawa3171Victim mentality...who dey harass you?
This places not beautiful as Ghana and you are mentioning America shame on you
Did you mean accra? There are two sides of Lagos. There's the mainland and island. The mainland which is what was shown in the video is an average part of lagos, but on the island you will find more affluent neighborhoods in the state and it is more gentrified than the mainland.
Don't mind the title, I know it's quite upsetting.
Your capital Accra is a big village so keep quiet. This is not even Nigeria 's capital but capital of Lagos State
You said this place is not even beautiful as Ghana a country? Hope you know that this is Ikeja city the capital of Lagos state? Lagos is a mega city with over 20million population and other cities within the City. Abuja is the capital of Nigeria
I don't like the title but don't ever mention Ghana were Nigeria is
Ghana? *Exhibition of Filth* is currently airing on JoyNews television in Ghana. Yes, go and watch it and come back and let's talk about Ghana, the real *S* hole.
