Over the years, many Nigerians have debated whether Lagos is better than Abuja with remarks been tossed like grenades across both sides. Sometimes, we are caught in a web of fierce argument about the two cities. However, Abuja and Lagos are famous and great cities in the country. http://www.travelstart.com.ng/blog/10-reasons-why-lagos-is-better-than-abuja/ 64 Likes 6 Shares |

Very true and well said OP. Lagos is the heartbeat of Nigeria. You wanna entertain yourself come Lagos and see shows for yourself. From the conductors to the agberos to the market women, shout out to our igbo brothers in alaba market and our Hausa brothers in mile 12. It's only in Lagos our southern neighbors are claiming the land, the no man's land. Lagos belongs to the Yorubas(the trademarks are everywhere) and to Nigerians, no man's land ko no man's yansh ni, make una go Abuja go claim the land. Job opportunities - you will find it in Lagos. Accommodation - you will find it in Lagos. Tribal and religion clash - Doesn't happen in Lagos. Celebrities - You will find many of them in Lagos. Street credibility - Always in Lagos. Entertainment - Always in Lagos. What else again eh? 94 Likes 3 Shares |

lagos has more going for it...abuja as a city has no soul...lagos moreover is like los angeles,las vagas and new york combined... lagos has more opportunities than abuja...less than 2% of lagosians work in government...unlike abuja where more than 50% work for government of all level ...lagos has INDUSTRIES,NOLLYWOOD,PORTS,MAJOR AIRPORT,BANKING ND OIL HEADQUARTERS etc... so my opinion....cheers 27 Likes |

Expecting a counter thread, the things i dislike about Lagos is that at times ppl don't get values for their money (eg those living in highbrow areas ain't exempted from flood during raining season) & drainages with pungent smell. 10 Likes |

I didn't read this. All I skimmed through was "blah, blah, blah". Abuja is miles ahead of Lagos. Trust me, I've lived in both. 109 Likes 4 Shares |

Lagos indeed. Going from Ikoyi to Ajah in February, spent 7 hrs in traffic. Good Lagos, indeed, good. In 7hrs, I would have gone to Ibadan twice and returned. 99 Likes 1 Share |

,Not true If u stay in Lagos, and happen to have a taste of Abuja small, believe me, u will never want to go back to ,Lagos. What can be better than living a less stressful life and yet, making your cool dough. Everything about Lagos, is just stress. Going to work-- stress. Going to church-- stress. Going to have fun-- stress. Even, to enjoy your the money,-- stress too. What is good about a city of madness, being held in traffic for hours. staying in d office till 10pm in order to beat traffic, and having to wake up 3am to also beat traffic. And, fyi, accommodation is affordable in Abuja. it depends on where u want to say. Dont stay in a house ur only two months salary cannot pay for..(that's my rule). (We didn't come to Abuja for landlords abeg.) Abuja is the city of big boys and gals. 155 Likes 10 Shares |

Oga,the cost of transport is also cheap in abuja,even cheaper that Lagos. Imagine from Gwagwalada to secretariat for N200?That's about 55km. Will that be possible in Lagos?Or what will you say about the road network. Can you be living at Ibafo and working at VI and leave your house about 7:30am to resume work by 8am?whereas in Abuja it is possible because of road network. 91 Likes 1 Share |

1. The cost of living There are places to get quality affordable stuffs iin Abuja too. One shud always cut his coat according to available material 2. A city of dream where paupers become millionaires Hey, ii simply believe iin the formula preparation+opportunity+God=success. 3. Believe it or not, you can find an affordable apartment in Lagos Must uu live iin Maitama(ministers hill) or Asokoro? There are affordable houses outskirts of Abuja. 5. Tourism merges with adventure in Lagos Who said Abuja ain't got adventure? 6. Cheap transportation was this article done iin the 80s? Abuja equally got lot of transport alternatives like the BRT buses,buses, taxis cabs and tricycles for you. 7. Home of entertainment – Nollywood Well iin Abuja we see em politicians what do ii need celebs for 8. Sollcial vibes – parties and nightlife ii heard Abuja equally got all kinda clubs 9. Employment opportunities lagos can brag of an insecure private sector job while Abuja enjoy FG jobs 10. Lagos has a sense of solidarity and love Lol, ii got lost iin the busy street of lagos back then... Twas a horrible experience no one gave a listening ear not to talk of help , Lagosians are too busy with ill attitude 66 Likes 3 Shares |

Which Lagos? The dirtiest city in the world according to globally recognized think tanks, publishers and media. The only city in Nigeria comparable to Abuja or even better is Enugu. 42 Likes 5 Shares |

The above points are true but...Abuja remain the best city to live in Nigeria no doubt. Mehn...Lagosians are dying daily (but only few of them know this ) due to traffic related stress. Transport in Abuja is cheaper than Lagos. Trust me if you had lived in Lagos all your life then come to Abuja for a 3 weeks holiday, you wouldn't want to go back to Lag. 69 Likes 3 Shares |

Abuja is a cosmetic city where landed property in a city like Abuja surrounded by a huge jungle without industry was made to be nearly as costly as in the industrialized cities of the Western world. Lagos is a naturally-evolving mega city. 5 Likes |
