Cost of Living in Victoria Island

Victoria Island's cost (₦2.2M-₦2.8M/month) is a CBD premium — you're paying to walk to work in finance, oil & gas, or consulting. Domestic staff add ₦300K-₦450K, and water bundled into service charges runs ₦80K-₦150K/month equivalent. The math only works if your commute savings (vs Lekki/Mainland) justify the rent.
