Ikoyi
Ikoyi is the most affluent neighborhood of Lagos, located on Lagos Island. It lies to the northeast of Obalende and encompasses the eastern half of Lagos Island and lies at the edge of the Lagos Lagoon. Popular with the upper class residents of Nigerian high society, Ikoyi is one of the wealthier communities within the Lagos Island Local Government Area.
The area that makes up Ikoyi was originally a continuous land mass with the rest of Lagos Island, until it was separated from by a narrow waterway that was dug by the British colonial government. This canal has now been built over or filled so that the island is fused with the other part of Lagos Island once again. It is shielded from the Atlantic Ocean by Victoria Island and the broad sand spit running east down the coast.
==History==
During the colonial era, the island was developed as a residential cantonment for the expatriate British community and still retains many of the large colonial residences built between 1900 and 1950.
Upmarket residential properties continued to be built after the colonial period, and the Island and its Dodan Barracks became the residence of some of Nigeria's military rulers. Ikoyi now contains many other government buildings as well as, businesses, hotels, schools, and the famous social club - Ikoyi Club 1938 and golf club - Ikoyi Golf Club.
