q: what's the safety like here? a: honestly, it's a mixed bag, some corners feel like a chill spot, others you keep your eyes peeled. you can check out Ikeja on TripAdvisor for touristy spots, or peek at local safety chatter on Reddit and Cost of living breakdown on Numbeo and Yelp reviews for eateries in Ikeja also a local told me the night market smells like fried plantains and cheap incense, but the vibe is raw and real.
