My signature says it all. All I know is most experts would prefer to live or work in calabar, uyo and the best weather for them is in Jos(but the violence there is the major problem). We nigerians really need to stop being biased with our views and face facts. How many white men do you see in ibadan? (Even chiko is rare). As for the tribalists that want to attack me, am not from calabar, Uyo or Jos, have just had the privilege to see some of the places. Seun, please change the title of this thread, its misleading and the OP did not list out his references to justify the title. We really need to clean up Nairaland's Front page. Seun take note.

Based on Mercer's Quality of Living survey, the following factors are used in to determine livable cities;

1, Consumer goods

3, Housing

4, Medical and Health consideration

5, Natural environment

6, Political and Social environment

8, Schools and Education

9, social and cultural environment

now, lets start with consumer goods

1,Consumer goods are Products that are purchased for consumption by the average consumer. Alternatively called final goods, consumer goods are the end result of production and manufacturing and are what a consumer will see on the[b] store[/b] shelf. Clothing, food, automobiles and jewelry are all examples of consumer goods.

Therefore, some of these goods most be easily available and in large quantity at an affordable price for average consumer. e.g Stores, shopping malls, fast food eateries, restaurants, markets, branded boutiques, car lots, car dealerships, antiques, home furniture show rooms, ecetera.

and these are the cities that meets the criteria; Ibadan and Lagos.

2, Economic environment; it consists of external factors in a business market and the broader economy that can influence a business. it can be divided in microeconomics environment and macroeconomic environment.

macroeconomic influences are broad economic factor that either directed or indirectly affects the entire economy and all its participants.

3, Housing; Housing generally refers to the social problem that ensuring members of the society have a home in which to live, whether this is a house or some form of dwelling, shelter or lodging. i.e housing must be affordable to an average member of the society.

Considering this, Ibadan with more than 10 G.R.A, Estates and others, at an affordable price, and also rentable for one year, tops the list on housing, followed by Enugu and calabar.

4, health and medical consideration; Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental or social challenges.[1] The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

ii. medical consideration; relating to the study or practice of medicine; "the medical profession'' in the said cities.

5, Natural environment; The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof.

6, Political and Social Environment; Government actions which affects the operations of a company or business. These actions may be on local, regional, national or international level.

ii, Social environment; the environment developed by humans as contrasted with the natural environment; society as a whole, especially in its relation to the individual.

The environment developed by humans as contrasted with the natural environment; society as a whole, especially in its relation to the individual. e,g if evidence for nepotism, tribalism is present in such a complex social environment or the tremendous stress of poverty and social isolation, then such cities lacks social relationship.

Ibadan, Lagos and .......

Ibadan with good schools that can educate your children from preschool up to university level top the list followed by Lagos and Enugu.


9, Social and cultural environment; Cultural environments consist of the influence of religious, family, educational, and social systems within the marketing system. Various features of a culture can create an illusion of similarity.

Nigeria is not safe for expatriates. In the north, there is risk of being killed by boko haram while in the south, you might end up being kidnapped. An expatriates cant live his life in peace and must always have police security.

That is why many poultry farms like, Zartech limited, Anu- oluwa farms, Chi farms, Rom oil mill limited ( biggest automated edible oil refinery and margarine company in sub- Sahara Africa, flour mill, Leyland Busan motor company limited, Pamper, Huggies, American British tobacco company , Sumal Foods Limited ecetera.

Most these companies are operated by foreigners from Lebanese, Americans, British, Indians, Koreans, Chinese ecetera.

Is that something to be proud of?

What a strange 'accomplishment'.

Only foolish people would sit on a forum and brag about how many foreigners are in their vicinity to show how incompetent and short-sighted the locals are.

No be small... He just couldnt stop mentioning Ibadan like say na Dubai
