Tell us why Minna. Jos, Kano, Kaduna and Maiduguri did not make this list?

I think Minna is cool. Maiduguri too. Jos is also a nice place. But I think we know why people might be loth to relocate to these places at this time. Let's hope government fixes the security challenges soon.

JuanDeDios:

Cities I have seriously considered:
1. Uyo
2. Owerri
3. Akure
4. Oshogbo
5. Abeokuta

None of these are cities. They are all towns.

How Minna borders on being a hamlet.

SpecialAdviser:
Enugu should top your list if anyone wants to move to a city where you will regain your mental health.

Abuja- The cost of living is high with serious threats of religious crisis

PH- Highly occultic city with possibility of getting involved in strong violence. Also costly

Ibadan - Very dirty and lots of diabolical people who may impact your spiritual lives. Ritualism also high

Uyo- Very clean and neat but economy almost zero

Enugu- Very clean, no upper and lower class, everyone rolls on same tempo. A very rich guy can be eating okpa at roadside. Economy not too bad. Accomodating people. Night life. Pretty ladies that are not spoilt like what you have in Lagos. Nobody in a hurry. Many people ready to assist you and you have lots of people to gist with. Zero violence. Kidnapping only happens outside the city as CCTV cameras are everywhere. Even the water problem happen the last two months of dry season and tankers always there to help.

Life is simple and sweet in ENUGU my brother

Been there as a Lagosian, All you wrote is all correct, Can’t wait to go back there again. Simple Lifestyle, Everyone minding their business, Safe and Relaxing than what we read online.

0bjpmb:
Please remove Enugu from that list, Enugu doesn’t have water, insecurity is high, poverty is high, unemployment is very high, so much slums, I can go on and on. There’s nothing in Enugu.

Mention me two slums in enugu so we can share photos here

I'm in enugu now

Ibadan indeed is a nice place to stay..,cost of living isn't way high.

I absolutely recommend there.

The weather is hot but actually more comfortable than what we usually have in the south due to lower humidity. Maiduguri is an important commercial city,that is why there are so many banks there

yinkeys:

Really, Maidiguri
Near boko haram, ISWAP etc
You do well o
Certain landlocked regions of the country are not safe
Régions close to the Sahara have harsh weathers too
Better to be closer to the Atlantic

Was checking if you will dare put ogun state, ogun is the worse play i ve been to infact a deep village with naked people running around is far better than ogun state. I will try to explore ibadan i have heard good things about there but you see ogun, the humans there it is like their education system is very poor because they have such a low and backward iq.

Reality3080:
U wan move go Enugu where u go Dey sit at home every Monday?

No sit at home any more in Enugu!!!

DissTroy:
If you are a remote worker especially, relocate to Uyo. It's:

1. Safer and more secured than most cities. The safest in Nigeria for years. It's cleaner too.

2. It has better road networks and good inter city and street roads so you're never stuck in traffic.

3. It's a tourist city, 1 hour drive from the Atlantic coast of Eket, Ibeno and Ikot Abasi, 1 hour 30 minutes drive from Port Harcourt. 2 hours drive from Aba.

4. Several parts of Uyo enjoy 20 hours of power supply daily. Don't take my word for it: Confirm yourself.

5. Uyo is third only to Lagos and Abuja for tech talents. Every weekend there's a tech event and tech workstations all over to network and work.

I could go on and on. It's a no-brainer if you want a serene environment.

Leave me your bro, I'd like to know where the tech events hold. I'm of the opinion that Uyo is the most perfect place for remote workers in Nigeria and the state govt should prioritize tech.

A friend of mine who has been going to Uyo for work lately been dey hype that state...

According to him, Lagos is no where close to Uyo in of organization and peace....

Him even tell me say their transportation system is in its own class, with good road...

Talk about beauty, calmness, peacefulness, Uyo beats Lagos hands down....

Him say I should try visiting, say girls dem yakpa for me wey be say I be ashawo boy...

And I believe am cos his gist and info dey always be 100%.

Dude no dey cap...

Lol I hear you
Goodluck with lakurawa & other jihadists/external influence causing internal chaos
When violence erupts in those areas
Smh sharia
Not worth that risk at all
When UAE & Saudi have moved from certain practices

danzaki63:

Sharia criminal justice system adopted by most of the northern Nigeria states is number one obstacle.

Obiagu, ogui, asata, emene, abakpa, coal camp etc visit those places

Risingblue008:
What's ibadan doing in that list?

U no even talk of
Benin
Asaba
Calabar
Even ebonyi,

Haaa,ibadan?
Na waoo,

Calabar is dead. Benin Na bush. Asaba get fine houses, no infrastructure. Abakaliki still dey come up.

OriOko88:

My own is why no single Nigeria city has good landscape. I used to wonder how Europeans built those high rise buildings that are still standing for centuries. I saw one building in Barcelona. A massive building that cover a whole street. Long and tall. Omohh. I give it to oyinbo abeg

Building methods differ


Western Houses are built using reinforced concrete and fired bricks design to rival natural rocks in strength and durability

Nigerians use 6 and 9in blocks made with weak cement that weakens even more as the years



Now you understand why a two-story building here will collapse after heavy rain in few years but a 200 year old Castle built on the bank of a river in England still stands firm

If you are the party type you get bored in Uyo. If you are focused, care about your peace, environment, and well being that requires no noise then Uyo is for you.

If you are retiring or want a place to cool off after tasking assignment, your best place is Jos.

How Minna borders on being a hamlet.

* Nature
* Quiet
* All the modern amenities you'd find a city
* Good schools (private and public) for your kids
* Affordable qualitative life
I can see why anyone born or socialised into city life might not like the place, but some people do love the country life and Minna is a good place for that. I currently live in Lagos, yet every week I drive to my farm in Ogun State - it's like blood tonic, getting into the bush. Not having to drive to do that would be great. Note that Minna has an airport, so dashing to Lagos or Abuja for the weekend or shopping is a breeze.

The igbos are just not welcoming to outsiders

I relocated back to Jos since 2023, na inside the Plateau we dey so.

It appears you have not really moved around before making this post.

I schooled in Enugu, worked in Ibadan, Kaduna and Kano. I still choose Jos.

I have stayed in Lagos for one month - possibly the worst month of my life and will never want to live there. I wonder why a city that brags about the fast life is so slow and largely dirty.

For the record, Jos is safe and peaceful. There is no place in this world without skirmishes, pockets of crisis and uprisings here and there just as we see in Jos from time to time. But we still dey on top the Plateau inside the Jos. You could choose to anchor your view on media misinformation and disinformation about Plateau-Jos or you take your information from us that are on ground on the Plateau.

Cheers and hope your post gives you what you want.

iykololo:



I can understand kaduna only. Jos, hmmmn. Plateau needs to be safe first. Minna is a no no. kano uncertain.

None of these are cities. They are all towns.

In a meeting of the National Conference of Geographers, yes. Here, they're just Nigerian "capital cities".

Since when did high population become a slum. Most of these places you mentioned hav housimg units similar to festac town in Lagos were both rich and poor leaf. Abakpa even has better light

But you know what I find funny? The salary of the average Nigerian making minimum wage will not lost a week in a low class hotel in these places you mentioned

Now imagine what the top class hotels will be like because they are right there

😆🤣🤣🤣🤣


Which city is beautiful in Nigeria?

🌺

Most of these places that are being mentioned have a lot of insecurity so I prefer staying in Lagos ooo🏃

Well for me If it's not Lagos no need. I have stayed in Abuja and Ibadan and both cities are cool but Abuja if U no really dey connected to the government or have a very high paying job U go suffer. To get updates as a normal hustling guy U go die first and I'm talking both legal and illegal. Food is cheap yes accomodation is not. The roads are super good and the lifestyle is okay but too political for me. U will just be living a basic life and U.

Ibadan on the other hand is quiet but then it's not where someone who wants to attain their full potential should be. If Ur okay with just surviving and staying simple then by all means.

But U see Lagos no matter how it gets U will survive by any means just be willing. U won't just survive, there's a lot of opportunities and options to make way for urself. Just stay alive and keep pushing.

Leaving Lagos to another city in Naija is like living life on reverse. It's better U just move out if U must leave Lagos. Except U are retiring to somewhere close to home in old age.

Please edit out the mail when you respond so I'd edit.

While there's a lot of publicity for tech events in Uyo, Ikot Ekpene or Eket, your social media algorithm has to be already trained so such things turn up on your timeline. My timeline on Twitter and Facebook is decluttered to show tech, startup, and personal development posts.

Top tech talents recruiters within and outside Nigeria throng into Uyo too.

The viannual Google Developer Circle comes up soon so your in luck.

ecomalchemisttt:
UYO WIN AM, BUT NO MONEY FOR THERE.

Money is in the BRAIN, not in any city or place.

You people should not spoil that Uyo o. Na my retirement city be that. I go dey go xmas and cultural festival in ibadan. Anything wey concern lagos, abeg abeg I no wan hear.
