Chineke Nna onye Onitsha. How on earth does a one bedroom flat go for 300k? Was it built with gold? On the average Lagos is not that expensive.

fratermathy:


Your logic is sound.

However, I wouldn't take the risk. I've heard and seen so many stories and events to make me believe that PH is very insecure. It's not like any other place in Nigeria is safer but I would better my odds by staying in a location where I feel safe.

Afam4eva:

I actually feel safer in Lagos than a lot of other places because i use the about 20 million people here as human shield

You've heard... My friend if I hear ur voice again...
Since you haven't lived here, you have no reason to contribute.
I was born in Lagos and left when I was 25. So I know what sm talking about...

drpossibilities:


Thanks for your awesome and helpful contribution, but I hope the Ogunabali and Waterline you mentioned are not far from D Line? Secondly, how much is someone likely to get a nice two bedroom apartment in these areas (D Line, Ogunabali and Waterside). Thanks. You too much

Good morning All,

I currently live and work in Lagos. While I live in Surulere, I work on the Island and I earn about 140k monthly. I have just been transferred to Port Harcourt effective immediately but before I set out, I will like to get information as to whether it is a good move which will be favourable for me in terms of difference between cost of living in Lagos and Port Harcourt as well as cost of accommodation. Thirdly, for a person whose office is on D-Line, what areas will be advisable to get a suitable accommodation in Port Harcourt that won't take me up to 20 minutes to get to the office.

Please I need your inputs to help me plan my movement. Thanks.

Lalasticlala and Co., help your guy move this post to the promised land and in this new year, God shall move you to the promised land. Thank you.

ThuGnificenX:

I can see... Are u an ex cultist

infohenry:
But that is fact, 23yrs in port harcourt never encounter robbery or cultist but only on visit to lagos I was robbed.

comfortchemical:
U can stay in d line, ogunabali or waterline area. U go survive with your small salary, the difference between Lagos and PH not really much. Same as Lagos where u ve rich peeps and poor peeps area in surulere, also in portharcourt.

ThuGnificenX:
Just have a budget of 250k for 1 bedroom flat or 180 for single room self contain if you'll be staying anywhere around dline.
And be informed that the rooms are tiny and can't accommodate more than 2 people.
I work at onne but I stay at odili road which is more expensive compared to dline.
You can stay at eliozu where they have more cheaper houses which is of standard. And t.Fare from eliozu to won't cost more that 300 naira daily to and fro.

cidieschat:
Am leaving phc, i have a furnished self contain to give out, with bed and wardrobe tiled, u may have it seriously. It will save u agent money, bla bla bla. Try contacting me. Location is Abuloma close to the nesoil company. Quiet residential area.

Quote me and ill give u my number.

AngelsAndStars:
25years in Lagos no problem.

went to port Harcourt lodged around eagle cement and got robbed.

fratermathy:
All I know is that Port Harcourt is not as safe as Lagos. Lagos has its own share of insecurity but that of PH is on a whole different level entirely. Cultism, gangsterism, robbery, violence etc, are far too much.

As for cost of living, it all depends on the area you intend staying. Generally though, houses in Port Harcourt are more expensive than houses in Lagos (except highbrow areas).

Cost of living is higher in PH than Lagos.

Engrr:


250k cannot get a good 1 bedroom any where around D line

madenigga:
Ph is cool nd cheap compared to Lagos.
Everything in Lagos is expensive from hotels to drinks.

am thinking of relocating to the outskirts since I am mobile... I visited a friend at rukpoku and u need to see the clean standard 2 bedroom flat this guy stays for 300k...
I couldn't believe it... I just dey wait for my rent to expire

Claumy2:


...perhaps you are writing because you hate Port Harcourt...
If you know Port Harcourt and Lagos, you wouldn't have written the above...
So ask questions for clarifications...

fratermathy:


So how then is Lagos safer than Port Harcourt?

Guy kpomkpi there. We know how e de go. PH wey boys fit use you do shege because of small thing.

Even the leaders there all belong. Every LG is controlled by a gangster.

AngelsAndStars:
you smoke bomb? a room here in festac cost 150k. and you'll share toilet and kitchen. if you need both rooms you pay 300k.

Afam4eva:

Over 25 years in Lagos and i've never been robbed. meanwhile, everybody i have come in contact with has one story of being robbed or the other. I just think it depends on luck and your movement.

lielbree:

Rukpoku? Hope your work place, kids school church etc is around that area, or else get ready to be sleeping in traffic daily.

Afam4eva:

So, 150k and 300k are the same thing?
