I frequent lokoja and it's cool. Though not that urbanized. it is a civil service town and worker's wail all day about non payment of salaries, so searching for a white collar job wouldn't be easy.

But you would thrive well if you can get a good site for your welding job or open up a small business, the people there are very nice and great people, food and housing is also relatively and comparatively cheap.

All the best

Lokoja?

Aba, Abia state

Your best option is KANO state! Kano is very peaceful and with your qualifications you will get job easily.... Accommodation is very cheap with plenty of foodstuffs at a very cheap price.... Constant electricity...

Kebbi state or Niger state, Bida to be precise.

Just Dey come Oshogbo.

LAGOS! Why you dey dull urself? All those other places go just fetch you peanuts... Go Lagos, hustle and make it big. You must not be the hustling type.

1realBobby:

isn't it difficult to get a good job in any of these places? + I don't think I like any northern place though.

In actuality, a lot of int'l organisations that carry out development projects have many openings in the North.

Especially UkAid funded programmes.

My mama no free me go. Me for don leave lag tey tey

any state in d north.....

Come to Lagos. Iyana-ipaja Makoko, Oshodi, Ikeja, or Agege e.t.c, Rent a room for 36k per annum, buy food stuffs from the market, get a job close by (walkable distance). cool

come to Ife in Osun state. you can get one room at 24k per year depending the area. The remaining money you could start selling second hand goods or preferably other profitable businesses.

Ibadan is better than Oshogbo, no gain saying that Oshogbo is kinda local(no hating) and not that industrialized but has stable electricity supply, cheap accommodation & even cheap food.

Areas like Iyana Church, Alakia has good power supply and accommodation is not that expensive. If you can get a space along Akobo Road to establish your welding skill, you will make it in no time(from life experience).

Getting accommodation in Ibadan is not that difficult, I would have assist you with that but nairalanders are quick to call you names. You can check Jide TAIWO on Google, website www.jidetaiwoandco.com they have properties across the country, you can even get Ibadan accommodation before your arrival and move in immediately on your arrival

Goodluck

#Word

If you don't like the northern region then you are not ready to relocate. Personally i will rather pick a job in the north with 50k as salary than to pick any southern state with 100k salary.

Luxuryconsult:
ibadan or akure is your best bet in South west.. Things are so relatively cheap in ibadan. You'd get single room self con around apete area (though a rural place but very populous cuz it's closer to the polytechnic, Ibadan) around 60k upward, you can also get around 70k upward around eleyele axis, eleyele is better than apete in so many ways and there are three tetiary institutions situated in that area, electricity is very good. And if you can afford something 150k, you'd get a tiled single room self con in old bodija (an estate) or challenge and so forth.. Some part of ibadan are very peaceful, once you don't stay around all those ghetto areas like, bere, mopol and all the so called ibadan central cities.. Food is cheap, transport too. But getting a good paid job in ib can be so frustrating, so it would so much be in your favour if you are self made and get a shop/office in some selected parts of ibadan. Don't forget ibadan is a very big city, the biggest in west africa i believe so there are lots of places you can surely stay. Those places i mentioned to you are places i'm so familiar with. And things are not as cheap in akure as ibadan though but still cheap to some extent.. Transportation is kinda expensve in ondo state generally than most other south west states. And food is still kinda expensive too but ondo state i believe is still the most peaceful state in south west presently and akure is beautiful to some extent. But even though it is a state capital, it is still somehow scanty unlike few other state capitals. But you'd surely get cheaper accomodations in places like oke aro, oba ile and few other places and if you have a degree that can be considered for a teaching job, then you'd probably get to earn about 15k - 25k or more monthly depending on the kinda school you get. This teaching job applies to ibadan also. And if you don't care much about all those online report about osogbo then it's a city you can give a trial too. You'd get accomodation for 60k i mean single room self con but i don't know much about their jobs.

osogbo is peaceful and things are also relatively cheap but for white collar job its a no no unless you know some one that can fix you in a bank or govt parastatal. That's the little I know for the months I stayed there

Oyo state, Ibadan in particular

Benue, nassarawa, jos
