Idi Araba
Location
The corridor between Mushin and Surulere, shadowed by the enormous presence of LUTH.
Demographics
Students cramming in hostels, nurses on night shifts, market men, mothers carrying babies and groceries without breaking stride.
What Makes Idi Araba Standout
Idi Araba lives on adrenaline with a bug backside. If you sit on a balcony here for one hour, you'll hear sirens, laughter, a quarrel, a prayer session, and someone frying akara, all layered like a DJ set. This is survival territory, but also where hope is stitched daily.
Key Symbols
White coats hurrying, hostel corridors, evening suya smoke, generators humming in unison, hawkers selling gala through traffic.
