Yorubas built the Oyo empire, Binis built the Benin Kingdom, Hausas built the Kanem-Borno empire. Mention a single civilisation built by your fathers.

So to you any of those places can be compared to houses in Maitama and Wuse? Some residential houses in Maitama are fifty million per annum and one has to pay for five years. Asokoro will cause you heart attack if I should go there. Ask yourself why no so called celebrities own a house in such places but almost all have one in those your too beautiful places. Abuja is not for the faint hearted bro.

cool

The checklist for measuring satisfaction or maximum utility differs.

Abuja:
- Serene
- Could be lethargic (absolute state of Torpor from the Head of State to Legislators to Civil Servants and inadvertently Private Businesses)
- Very good roads at CBD and environs
- Hinterlands, Suburbs and Rural areas are as dense and environmentally unfriendly as Lagos
- Could have tough climatic conditions at certain times of the year
- Not very flexible
- Low density at CBD but quite high at Rural areas
- Generally peaceful
- Affordable and Clean transportation
- Heavily dependent on Government activities
- Fairly good social life


Lagos
- Certain areas are very Urbane
- Hectic transportation predominantly on the mainland
- Land of endless possibilities and opportunities
- Fast paced. Activates your determination for success and excellence
- Very prone to pollution
- Evolves daily
- Fairly good climatic conditions except at the peak of rainy season
- Amazing social life
- Better potential for professional work experience
- Medium crime rate
- Great potentials for SMEs
- Very densely populated

I have lived in both cities. My preference is for Lagos. Formative years' experience is a key criterion to determine the factors that defines preference.

Live in Lekki, work in Victoria Island or Ikoyi or live and work in close proximity on the Mainland. Be financially stable and the ills of living in Lagos can be cushioned to a large degree.

I love Lagos smiley smiley

You made a very good and honest analysis of both cities. The lady seems to be comparing Maitama with Abule Egba! I bet she's yet to see the wonders coming up at Eko Atlantic city.

Only those Lagosians who have not been to, or live at Abuja will disagree. I still do not know why I am still in Lagos. I still can not understand why I havent bought a house at Abuja till now so I can atleast be at a place of sanity.

It used to be quite good here at Lekki, but of recent, the robbery and police disturbances, asking for tinted glass permit, has really made me feel insulted. Lagos roads are narrow, the streets are dirty and even the water cost so much to treat to make it drinkable.

That lady just reminded me of the true nature of the madness called Lagos.

2. Abuja has lots of sugar mummy while Lagos has lots of olosho/harlot.
3. Sugar daddy full fct while broken ass nigga plenty for lasgidi.
4. Abuja life is bored while Lagos is lively
5. Abuja runs the affairs of the nation while Lagos run the commercial aspects.
6. Life in Abuja is cost but lagos life is affordable if u don't pass your boundary.
7. Political connection in Abuja but business connection in Lagos.

The following part of her finishing weak me like madman prick
""Come to Abuja and experience good road networks. The only traffic jam we have here is usually caused by traffic lights and it does not last beyond 86 seconds. Anything beyond that, just know that a Lagosians has a hand in it.""

Well for me, here is my analysis

Abuja

Serene structure
Good road network
Less traffic
High cost of accommodation
High feeding cost
Quite low employment rate except political & federal government jobs
Moderate power supply
Quite low social life

Lagos
Rough structure except Island areas
Poor road network on mainland areas but good network on the island
Jam traffic congestion
Cost of accommodation depends on area
Moderate feeding cost
High employment rate
Moderate power supply
24/7 fun place

Left to me, if I have a job with N200,000 per month, I would prefer Lagos. Taking same job at that amount in Abuja would not make one meet up daily expenses.

A certain Abuja based lady identified as Bibian Chinenye Pius-Urum has taken to to Facebook to give a narration on which city is better between the nation's capital Abuja and Lagos. According to her argument, Abuja should never be compared to Lagos as the standard of living is extremely higher in the capital city.

Read her post below:

Everything this lady said about lagos is true.. God knows there's a difference between a lagosian and a Nigerian born and raised elsewhere..
Lagosians are angry, opportunistic thieves who cannot wait to take advantage of another in the name of being street smart.

The lady is on point.

Kubwa to Nyanya is 1600 on Uber, provided it's not between the hours of 7am to 10am and 5pm to 8pm. The hours mentioned has the craziest traffic on the AYA-Nyanya-Mararaba route in the Capital City.

She's so fcukin outta point.

To begin with, compare the population of both cities, how congested they are...

Uber can never bill you 7k from Maryland to VI with same traffic condition as between Kubwa and Nyanya for 1600. Also, Lagos is built up while Abuja isn't in same level because you can't find any road in lagos with same superb engineering design as that of Abuja.

On the issue of no bribe by civil servants... She absolutely got it all wrong. Kindly ask her to visit FCDA, FERMA, FIRS, AGIS to mention only a few. These government's agencies only live on unlawful extortion. The Abuja Police are one of the worse though better than the ones in Lagos. The worst police team in Abuja are found at under Berger bridge.

On pollution, it is nominal... all cities have slums. Tell me what you at Galadimawa village, Karimo, Gwagwa, Aleeta, Tudun Wada,Etc...?

We choose where we want based on desires n opportunities.

I've live in both cities but in all fairness, Enugu remains my best choice while Akure takes the Silver medal and Jos the bronze winner.

/*
I like how people that reside in Lagos believe that life in Lagos is normal.

By all indices, if you reside in Lagos, you are not living. You are merely passing through life. At what point does chaotic life become normal? Just like anything Nigeria, everything is turned upside down logically. It would have been nice if Lagosians can brag about uninterrupted electricity. Instead all I hear is the old "if you can survive in Lagos blablabla" thereby elevating "suffering and shmiling" to a norm. Everywhere in Nigeria is sh1thole.

The average lagosian is angry by default. You'll only notice it once you've lived outside Lagos for a while. Truth be told, asides the commerce in Lagos, most people would remain or prefer other more serene cities. Hunger is the major driving force that retains people in Lagos. It is easier to make a living in Lagos due to the commercial nature.

Sorry bae, Lasgidi is for smart people! Need I remind you what our three wise men "welcome to Lagos" mean?

No dulling, No idling, Be smart!

Lagos is a very dynamic city, Abuja is still playing catch up till date...thanks to oil money tho.

Lagos is a land of opportunities that's why hustlers thronged it. You are not a hustler...Perhaps the lazy Nigerian youth your daddy in Aso rock talked about.

It seems to me that Abuja is for Lazy people and polithievians. Its very easy to waddle your tail in front of a Dino and land yourself a very juicy contract on Nicon Hilton bed however ugly you may be.

When comparing two cities, you have to be very objective and detach your emotions from the two. Some of your points are clearly valid but most appear a one sided thinking!
