See comments bashing Lagos. Lol. People live and move to Lagos majorly because of job opportunities. Just like people move to New York CITY, Chicago, LA etc. NY is not the best in of new infrastructure and quiet life but it makes more money than the rest , same with California. People can be dumb 🙄. Tell us what we don't know about Lagos again.

Ibadan people want their city removed from the list.

You think people want others relocating there causing traffick and a strain on infrastructure?

Even Abuja people dont want Lagos people coming over

No be lie

We are still reeling from the security issues that came with large scale influx of okada riders driven from Lagos .

Although I think with the expansion of the economy of the state it's inevitable that it will come with increase in population, whether we like it or not

The only of the these cities i've not been to is Port Harcourt. To be honest, if you're leaving Lagos but still want a touch of the big city life, I would advise Abuja or Ibadan.

We need to understand the difference between a city and a town. Places like Calabar, Uyo, Enugu etc are towns.

Ibadan is not clean and has this razz feeling to it.

Let's be real, Lagos should be the last place for who one thinks of growing or developing with a sane mind... cheesy
, so chaotic with rundown infrastructure but the Nigerian media and ronu miscreants won't let you breathe if you talk against their heaven grin



The fortunate thing is, other cities are now changing their infrastructures rapidly to advanced and cutting edge ones, like in Enugu which has almost the same ambience as Abuja and even more urbane than Abuja with its literate inhabitants.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too funny, Enugu 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why are your people taking night bus em mass to Lagos? Even running to Kano and Kaduna Even moving to Asaba

The best of South African city's were not made by only Zulus. Enugu can become big, but the economy will never be like Kano, Kaduna, Ph. etc. Talkless of Lagos.

Oga softly softly. Enugu is nowhere close to Abuja in any way. A city with only one decent mall? Stop it.

No, that's not true. Central Ibadan is quite clean and has nice spacious roads. There are razz parts of course but if you're a middle class person nothing should really concern you with those parts. Where did you stay when you were in Ibadan?

Please erase and re write the list. Uyo should be on top, a hidden uncelebrated city.

Calabar is decent
Abuja is now filled with Shiites, riots can pop up at any time & anywhere
Maybe parts of Uyo & Port Harcourt

making money and doing business after lagos na still lagos
Money that Lagos will still take from you,with their mumu house rent rise,kids school fees,and bills upon bills.. If your business is not even big ,like so big,debts fit make you go village.

Add Maiduguri to the list.The city has very good roads,cleaner than most parts of Lagos and the other cities you mentioned. It is also the greenest city in Nigeria as it has more trees than any other Nigerian city including Abuja,giving it very good ambience.Thank God peace has gradually returned to the place.

Save a few times in my childhood, I just through. I know there are nice areas of course, I am speaking overall.

Ok well last place I stayed was at IITA for a management retreat many years ago.

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

Beauty is one thing, what of security and affordability of basic things.

What of economic opportunities too?

i disagree on kissing the night life goodbye if you move to ibadan, ibadan has a very superb nightlife if you know where to go.
