forgiveness:. Bro just be honest, that is just YOUR opinion, you can't claim ibadan is the best when cities like calabar and uyo are there. When charles Taylor went on exile what city did he live in? It was calabar. Yes ibadan is cool BUT its definitely not the best for experts to live in. Lagos is far more better in terms of economic availability. If you feel you are still right, just post link of websites that SUPPORT your claim. 2 Likes |

forgiveness:. These cooler temperatures have meant that, from colonial times until the present day, Jos is a favourite holiday location for both tourists and expatriates based in Nigeria. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos. |

Tbamo: And you have been to rivers state to see expatriates? Been to Delta state?(Professional expatriates) Been to Abuja? (Political and professional expatriate) Been to Calabar?(Tourist) Been to jos even with the so called "wahala"?(Tourist) Lagos (professional expatriates) Kano? (Arab and middle east expatriates) So because the governor's wife is half Arab automatically means all Arabs have relocated to Ibadan? See logic..since Obama is partly Kenyan, we should assume Kenyans have all moved to the US.. Your logic defiles logic. Do you mind providing a verifiable link to your claim? 1 Like |

tivta: don't get the person you quoted wrong, Ibadan by far the best city to live for expatriates. Apart from the presence of institutions like UI , UCH and other research institutions which are world class, there is also the large market due to its population, enabling environment for businesses also attracts foreigners to Ibadan. ALSO IBADAN IS LIKE THE ONLY CITY IN NIGERIA WHERE EXPATRIATES DRIVE THEMSELVES TO WORK, TO CLUB, TO THE MALLS, ETC WITHOUT FEAR Ibadan is a world class city that just needs a right thinking government like the present one led by Ajimobi... Many hold the view that Ibadan is an ancient city of red roofs and mud houses. Yes there are red roofs in the inner city areas which covers only about 2 3 local governments. A vast majority of the city is modern. 1 Like |

mmsen: One of the major factors that makes a city livable for expatriate is Economics environment which can be divided into macroeconomic factors and microeconomic factors. microeconomic factors influence how your business makes decisions. and the factors are; Market size, demand, supply, competitors, supplier and distribution chain such as retailers stores. and all these factors has to with Service ( economics ) e.g Business functions ( consulting, customer service and human resources), Financial services ( accountancy, banking and building societies, estates, tax...), Education( school, library..), Cleaning, repair and maintainance services ( gardners, janitors and mechanics ), Construction ( carpentry, electrician, plumbine..), Dispute resolution ( arbitirarion, court of law, diplomacy, lawyers, millitary, incarceration, law enforcement...) Food service industry, Health care, Fabric care ( dry cleaning, self - service laundry...) Entertainment industry Hospitality, Food services etcetera are all controlled by the well trained and skilled competent locals in Ibadan. However, majority of the locals also contributes to the economic through agricutural products and the manufacturing industries. |

lookooman:. So calabar and uyo is not safe? Please be realistic. Uyo is fast overtaking calabar as a tourist destination and the reasons you mentioned are far from the reasons why experts would want to stay in ibadan. Even PH with all its security challenges still, I repeat STILL has more experts in the country than any other city due to the refinery(which is where nigeria gets its income from) also that's where ibadan gets its money for city development via FG allocation to states. |
Re: Most Livable Cities In Nigeria For Expatriates by tivta(m): 9:55am On Mar 07, 2015 |
lookooman:. Even lagos has lots of white men and women WALKING in the streets without fear or harassment(V.I lekki and co) so security is not an issue for ibadan to be the best. |

tivta: I live in ph and grew up in ibadan! No white man goes out in ph without an armed guard and they don't live there most have their families domiciled in Lagos! Go to ibadan and see white boys playing set on the main roads! Only in ibadan will you see white women in the local markets moving without fear and even haggling like pros! I have worked in warri delta which you mentioned and the white men live like prisoners! |
Re: Most Livable Cities In Nigeria For Expatriates by Reference(m): 10:04am On Mar 07, 2015 |
For your information no city in Nigeria meets the minimum requirements for 'livability', certainly not for expats. Nigeria is just not a tourist destination. If you are counting heads as evidence then I can tell you there are probably more expatriates in the small town of Brass than in the entire south-west. Does it make Brass friendly. No. They have probably tied down a Brigade of crack troops guarding them. For what reason.... go figure. Nigeria does not start and end in Lagos. |

Tbamo: So the whole excersise doesn't make sense. If Portharcourt is less livable. Why more expats there. Shouldn't you say that as far as Nigeria is concerned, for the expats livability is all about the dollar and they gravitate towards the prime source - oil. |
Re: Most Livable Cities In Nigeria For Expatriates by forgiveness: 10:28am On Mar 07, 2015 |
tivta: You're right and no dispute about it. Jos should have top the list on categories such as; Natural environment and recreation but fall short in terms of Political and social enviroment, and Social and cultural environment. These two factors alone will always scare off potential investor/expatriate from Jos. |
Re: Most Livable Cities In Nigeria For Expatriates by Tbamo(m): 10:32am On Mar 07, 2015 |
Reference:There are more expatriates in ibadan than ph! Ask the relevant sources! I love In ph and most of the expats don't have a house they can point to except the ones living in shell camp! In ibadan there are estates in jericho that are predominantly white,the old bodija white population, lebanon street, and iyaganku is filled with the coffee skinned Indians! Dont let the fallacy of oil make you think that's the only thing attractive in nigeria. I concede there may be more Caucasians in ph but on a whole there are more expatriates in ibadan! |

[quote author=Reference post=31384684] So the whole excersise doesn't make sense. If Portharcourt is less livable. Why more expats there. Shouldn't you say that as far as Nigeria is concerned, for the expats livability is all about the dollar and they gravitate towards the prime source - oil. The IMCL(international marking cities livable) defines livable cities as QUALITY OF LIVING, rather than STANDARD OF LIVING. i.e you may be making alot of dollars but no quality of living. e.g Newyork, seoul, los angel, london, paris ecetara. so, to have quality of living you need to consider 9 factors based on Mercer quality of living survey. For me standard of living cities are; Abuja, Lagos, P/h..... |

Toluwarni: And you think that list of yours makes Abuja 'World Class'? SMH If you are to globally rank these facilities you alluded to on a scale of 1-20, how would you rank each? Look, there are hundreds of cities with facilities much better than Abuja that did not make cut. On a global scale, I would be very kind to call Abuja an average city! You see, It is self-deception to ascribe 'world class' status to a city brimming with mediocre facilities. |

Now lets continue from no, 8 to n0 9 No,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. This also has to do with human relationship, religious tolerance, cultural history, and it influence the society to blend together. Ibadan top the list with the influence of education (literature) and social systems within the market system. and that's the reason you see a lot of Nigerians and Expatriates coming to study in Ibadan special Yoruba literature. The Ibadan social system creates an illusion of similarity. In fact all ethnic groups in Nigeria, Africans, Europeans, Americans, Asians ectera are all present in the city. quote from an American student; I’m sure now they will actually understand what I’m talking about when I say going to Nigeria is literally like warping or teleporting into another world-the culture, the language, the infrastructure, the government, the weather, the food, the risks, and the enjoyments all contribute to an experience that is truly impossible to describe with words, pictures, and even video.
