Mainland vs. Island: Navigating the Lagos Economy
Lagos is split between the Mainland (where housing and Mama Put meals are affordable, making it ideal for Lapo beginners) and the Island (Lekki, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, and coastal Sea Plots, where Nepo characters start and late-game tycoons invest).
Keep your work and residence on the same side of the Third Mainland Bridge whenever possible during the early game—commuting across the lagoon during peak traffic drains extra Energy every single day.
