Ikoyi is Nigeria's most expensive neighbourhood. An exclusive island in Lagos first laid out by British colonists, it has become an area for the elite. Originally residential, it now compromises office towers, luxury hotels and sports clubs.

Join us as we explore some of the most famous streets on foot, meeting some of the parallel communities living and working alongside the gated compounds. It's what makes Lagos, Lagos.

In Part 1 (of 2), we start on Ikoyi Cresent, the home of oil tycoons and the US Deputy Ambassador. After a stop at a cafe, we venture down Alfred Rewane and Thompson Ave to the house of the Jagaban himself, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Hope you enjoying watching.
