Please Give Your Three Best Alternative Cities To Lagos In Southern Nigeria by Durchmann(m): 8:08am On May 23, 2013
Hi guys!

I work in Lagos and have lived here all my life except for my secondary and tertiary education which were in Enugu and Calabar respectively.

I've been thinking of moving my little family outside Lagos to some other city within the South but i'm confused on the best choice to make.

Guys, i would need your candid opinion based on experience as i would like a city based on free options ( either business, pleasure, jobs and nice accommodation options).

Please drop your candid post and assist a brother in this critical decision.

Thanks!!!

From the way you guys sound, it seems like Benin is it.

I still hope I can get more opinions though.

Thanks again, guys.

Consider this 3 states.
CALABAR, ENUGU, ASABA. VERY VERY GOOD STATES.
