This list is faulted. Why should warri come before lagos? And what's minna doing on the list?!

Ibadan is the best place to live in Nigeria, it mixes well the city life (hustle and bustle) and the reserved village life. It is also very peaceful and cost of living is low, which is at variance with other mega cities in Nigeria.
