pls I am presently in Lagos but planning to relocate to either Nnewi or Awka in Anambra State to start a business. I am thinking of Nnewi as my first option but I will like to know the cost of accommodation, school for my children and life generally. I will also appreciate contributions regarding the kind of business I can go into. Thanks all

You are relocating for business yet you do not know the type of business you want to do.My advice is for you to travel there alone and test the environment before deciding to move your family

Bros how can you suggest relocating to Nnewi from Lagos when Lagos is the hub of all business with intense competition and in this competition your best will come out. My advice: try and set up whatever business you have in Lagos to Nnewi, use the class operated in Lagos to drive your Nnewi setup, regularly check how it's being done in Lagos and transmit to your branch at Nnewi. Also try to send your products back to lagos, you will flourish brother. Take my advice because it works for me in palm oil production.

Bros, the way things are going on in Lagos now especially in this recession, in the near future only billionaires will be able to live in Lagos. The rising cost of living and You know Nigerians and taking advantage to exploit people, another reason is that the good schools are not affordable and I dont care lifestyle I notice even in students/children around here in Lagos. I want where my children will get education at an affordable rate with good upbringing. I also feel thay city like Nnewi may be a good place to live and bring up disciplined children since Nnewi is also growing fast as an industrial hub in the east. I stand to be corrected. Thanks

Nice move, but my advice is that you don't close the one you have in Lagos for now. Venture into the nnewi business and monitor its growth. Once its flourishing, then you can either close down the Lagos business or sell it out.
nnewi is an emerging city, and believe me, anything you invest there will flourish provided that its a new business that has not been dominated all over the town.

like they say, its either you are the first or the best in whatever biz you are into.

Don't mind the clown.
What happens to taking over a fresh market? It even gives you monopoly. Plus, the east is very viable, saner and has a robust well to do population.
The sky is your limit

Nice one

I am currently living in Awka.although I was formerly living in Nnewi.
It depends on the kind of businesses you have in mind.
But if you want to enjoy a more quiet lifestyle with good facilities for your kids... Awka is better.
If you want to Hustle 100%,Nnewi is your option.
Please note that in terms of business,Nnewi is more saturated and competitive than Awka.
You have more of business men in Nnewi,but in Awka,you get a balance in the populace including business men,civil servants,politicians and students.

@Inyinyagbaoku, @eezeribe Thanks for ur contributions.

I need more contribution with regards to cost of accommodation in Nnewi/Awka.

Awka's much cheaper than Nnewi. Someone else can fill you in with all the details.

Don't know much abt business, but 3 bedroom flat is 300 to 350k in Awka.
