sluvy4tune: Kindly remove Uyo from that list please. Uyo will be expensive(maybe in 3-5years) from now, but at the moment cost of living in Uyo is cheap.God bless you.We need detailed information like your post about other states or cities in Nigeria. You have done well. |

If Uyo is one of the most expensive cities in Nigeria, how come Ikot Ekpene less that 30km away made the list of the least expensive. In doesnt add up. I once went to a creek in Ikot Abasi, asked a fisherman how much in average is his usual catch so i could come buy sometime, he said N20,000! A village fisherman asking for such money for one fish, i yelled and took off. Buying pineapple in a pineapple farm directly from the farmer any where in Akwa Ibom is even more expensive than in Abuja. They dont look at the item, they think money and just call it. You wont find it funny that they wont budge from that price. My folks up north asked me to buy crayfish for them thinking it will be cheap, i told the there was no point. When my wife visited she went to the market to atleast buy something cheap for gifts, she travelled back empty handed. The only problem with abuja is accomodation, ortherwise its the cheapest among all these cities. menntioned. |

sluvy4tune: Kindly remove Uyo from that list please. Uyo will be expensive(maybe in 3-5years) from now, but at the moment cost of living in Uyo is cheap. Ufan mi. That silverbird in uyo na the bigest disappointment. Incase you dont know, a movie like Robocop was showing in Uyo for complete 6months. Do you call that a movie theatre. Something went wrong in that place. When i arrived Uyo 2yrs ago, movie of the week was always N500. Atleast a new one every week while older ones are N300. That regime was more affordable than going to PH, Abj or Lagos. New movies atleast once a week some times 2. But now, na so so Nollywood movies especially the ones wey no get head and tail. The Hollywood movies like 3 for six months on a flat N250. The governor is always there and i think he forced the price down and they stop showing Hollywood movies. Those girls ehnnn! Hmmmmmmmmm. Those chickens na 8wks or less o. Cant stand it, if you like it, mfun iba. |

adanny01: Spot on, I have notice that about the movies too, but imagine how empty tropican would be if a movie ticket was #1500 as it is in abuja/lagos, u don't expect the very best with such a price. I confronted the management about those new movies & they told me producers refuse giving their movies for such price that they rather package them into DVD than bring to Uyo, an average Akwa ibomite is a civil servant increase that movie ticket to #1500 you will meet an empties hall.my suggestion to the management was that new movies ticket shud be sold for like #500 instead of not bringing them at atall, the beauty of cinema is that first to see it mentality+ the big screen factor (e dey ease stress pass) As for the chicken, I get my supplier, fresh from the fire. he dare not bring me chicken of more than 24hrs. Shey u trust ur girls nah  abadie ? |

adanny01: Not all be 2years bros, I have discovered na agent they put house for 2years so that him agency fee go increase. Not all landlord are interested in that you must pay for 2years nonsense. When you meet an agent emphasis on 1year. Personally I can't pay ,ore than a year for any apartment, I am a business man I can't tie down investable money with a landlord for a whole year  in the name of pay for 2years. |

sluvy4tune: Emesiere. Funny enough, the theatre used to be full on new movie days and even afterwards. Am telling you, full theatres when it was N500. I watched skyfall when it came out new for N500, theatre 1 was full to the brim and people were not getting seats while even the first row where no one seats now were occupied. Midway in the movie Akpabio came in, we missed some minutes of the movie because people started hailing him and stood up. Then uou will see expatriates and their families. Now, upon all the cars and the people you see, na picture dey worry them and you have to be jumping over peoples legs seated there, who does that. If they return to old pricing and bring new hollywood movies, those theatres will fill up with genuine movie lovers while those who want Nollywood can still get some. Afterall, i can swear the producers of those movies get paid by the state to show them. Even the former price i believe was subsidised by the state. Most, if not all of the nollywood movies shown there are produced or directed or acted or shot by an Akwaibom indigene or awka ibom was used as shooting location. Do you know that when Arik air started Uyo route, they were paid by the state for empty seats! It has stopped though, since Arik, aero and Dana fly here. |

adanny01: Maybe the time sky fall came out was when the cinema was still a new phenomenon in uyo. |
| Re: 8 Most Expensive Cities In Nigeria? by adanny01(m): 8:46am On Jul 16, 2014 |
django1: No it wasnt new. I was watching movies there for over 5 months before that movie. I heard it opened 2011 and i watched skyfall in early 2013. |

AlienfromMars: true talk joor. Lagos is not expensive. I have been to Lagos times without number. The only thing that is expensive their is accomodation. Imagine ordinary Benin city still sells pure water 10naira.dis guy still dey complain, I understand say dem dey sell sachet water for 10naira, dat place na dry land. What about places like Yenagoa & Warri  |

Many people are saying what they know nothing about. I used to live in PH and my 2 bedroom apartment in Woji cost 200k per annum. When I came to Lagos, my 3 bedroom apartment in Lekki before chevron drive cost over 1M. Some 3 bedroom cost 1.5M around my house, in Lekki phase 1, it's much higher. I agree PH houses cost but they are less compared to Lagos! |

McWhillion: I'm sure you have not been to the east, otherwise I don't know how you can open your mouth and say things are more expensive in eastern villages than the largest city in Nigeria. Is it housing, transportation, education, what is it self? Let me forgive your utterance,.seeing you made it out of ignorance. |
| Re: 8 Most Expensive Cities In Nigeria? by DobleO7: 4:19pm On Jul 16, 2014 |
customized13: I don't agree with you, lagos should be on that list, most people don't know what it takes to train children in a comfortable housing in lagos. The cheapest areas in lagos will be probably ikotun, egbe, igando and environs are relatively more expensive than most cities in nigeria. The only thing cheap in lagos is food and maybe clothings. Tell him..brother. Let him come to Lekki and its environs and see what we residents experience. |

[quote author=Iykopee]kai, PH na die. Common 2 bedroom flat na 500k per annum. In highbrow areas, like new GRA and old GRA, u will start planning to purchase a land and build ur own house cos 600k for a year rent is no childs play.[/quot I recently got to know about a 2 bedroom apartment in Enugu GRA that goes for 800K, 3. Bedroom in Newhaven is now going for 500K-600K, independence Layout my friend paid 800K for 3 bedroom, so I think 500K In GRA PHC is relatively cheap. |

The person saying that Lagos is not expensive might have been living in those near boundary locations like Abule Egba and beyond. He/she might have not spent time inside Lagos. Come to my area in Lekki and see how expensive Lagos really is. |

customized13: dat means ph is cheap na, if you pay 500k per annum in GRA, some parts in lagos pay 1.2million per annum. The guy who told you rent in GRA PH is 600k must be a beneficiary of abandoned property. 1 Like |
