Itafaaji
Location
Deep inside Lagos Island, one of the oldest living quarters of Eko, tucked behind the palace routes and wrapped in the spirit of old Lagos streets.
Demographics
Home to long-rooted Lagos Island families - Yoruba lineages that go back centuries, blended with Hausa traders, Igbo artisans, fisherfolk, and a swarm of children who know every shortcut and every rooftop.
What Makes Itafaaji Standout
Itafaaji is old soul territory. The kind of neighbourhood where everybody knows who your grandfather was and will remind you if you misbehave. The streets are narrow, loud, and full of life: women selling pepper by lantern light, boys racing barefoot, elders arguing about politics like it's sport. It's the Lagos of memory - no gloss, no filter, no pretending. Just raw culture, raw community, raw heartbeat.
Key Symbols
Ancient family compounds, wooden balconies, evening markets, yellow bulbs hanging on wires like tired stars, talking drums drifting from a distance, the echo of childhood games in tight corridors.
