Not true. I can't be staying in a room and palour in Magodo for 1.6m and you say another place is more expensive. Lagos should be number 1.

Do you really pay 1.6 for a room and parlour in magodo? If so, why?

Should be but it is not. Most of the people who carry out these stats haven't been to these places. When it comes to rent or accommodation, Abuja is the most expensive.

The work done by Ambode is not commensurate with the huge revenue the state is generating. Look at the poor state of roads

The picture above is an old one. Not current Lagos

I don't think this stats is accurate, Angola is perfect for the number 1 spot that city is crazily expensive , but as for Chad l am not sure of that. Abuja is only Expensive in terms of accomodation, food, transport etc are averagely priced in Abuja. But l don't think Lagos or any Nigerian city should be on the list, if you have traveled to Abidjan and some other capital cities in Africa, you will know Lagos is not expensive. A single room self con in a ghetto area of Abidjan can go high as 15 to 18k Naira per month, calculate that in 12 months then you will appreciate the price you pay to your Landlord in areas like Iya Ipaja, Abesan, Idimu, infact Alimosho in general and some not too expensive areas in Lagos.

That's a lot sha
But I think there is this rule of thumb that if our rent is not more than 30% of your annual net income, you are good.

African cities are not really develop, yet most are so dam expensive to live in.

Once we produce most of what we consume, things will get cheaper.

Some countries don't even make their own bricks to build houses. Ordinary window glass is imported.
Such things become biggest factors

If Abuja isnt there, then the ranking isnt correct. One can survive on far less in lagos than in abuja. Word.

Like seriously

Not in Abuja, before you can get any good single room, budget 200k and above

1000k food stuff? No way in Abuja

Transportation is even worse

It is, When you remove accommodation problem in Abuja, every other thing is Normal.Even transport is way more expensive in Lagos.

I have lived in both and I could differentiate..
