– Ikoyi is the most expensive real estate in Africa

– Dolphin estate in Ikoyi is a sharp contrast to the affluent neighbourhood

– Some of the buildings are old and the roads are bad

Ikoyi is considered the most valuable real estate in Africa but not all parts of the affluent estate represents well-spent money.

Ikoyi is home to some of the wealthiest and most influential Nigerians. Amidst the seeming madness and nuisance in Lagos, Ikoyi presents residential sanity with the building s testifying to the affluent life the occupants live.

Unfortunately, not all parts of the estate reflect the expensive lifestyle that one would expect of a neighbourhood of that calibre. Dolphin estate in Ikoyi represents that irony.

Dolphin estate typifies an estate that encapsulated a paradox of two worlds. The upper scale of the estate isn’t much of a surprise as it is expected to reflect rich lifestyle. The down town is an eyesore that is almost competing with Ajegunle, a neighbourhood known for its rough and poor housing.

The buildings in Dolphin estate in Ikoyi look like blocks of flat in an old barrack. The paints on the building are faded and the wood work are rotten. The streets are water-logged thereby making movement of vehicles difficult.

Whether the eyesore buildings are a façade for something more expensive is not known or the occupants are still the same wealthy Ikoyi dwellers who just wish to mask their opulent lifestyle.
