Op, it worth it. Standard of living in Ibadan is almost the same (if not the same self) with that of Lagos.

Work where you'll have comfort and peace of mind. Money isn't everything. Even if all of us advice you, you'll still do what's in your mind. So, follow your mind. My 1cent.

Leave it ASAP. Whatever the consideration, leave immediately. I've lived for considerable lengths of time in both cities much longer in Lagos than Ibadan, in this your situation with 150k salary in Lagos, Lagos is a much better choice. There are people in Lagos who earn less equal to that 50k in Ibadan, who still get by. Does everybody in Lagos earn even as much as 100k? Patapata you spend 75k/month on all expenses, you'll still have 75k left. Besides, it's much easier to to upscale and build a career in Lagos than Ibadan. Just consider the distance from your place of work very well when you’re choosing your accommodation.

Please people in Lagos please confirm if it is possible to save 50k from a salary of 150k
I don,t think it is possible.
It depends on location.

I currently live in Ibadan and I can confidently tell you that the difference in the cost of living is very small. Rent in Ibadan nowadays is almost like Lagos and transport is just marginally different

Careful with those that are saying worth it oo. I once went to Lagos with 85k, spent 5 days and came back home with 8200. Everything went on transport, food and shortlet accommodation.
Las Las, the job wey I go find for Lagos, I got it here in Akure and the pay was buoyant.

This your experience is peculiar to you. IT IS NOT as bad as that. Does everyone earn as much as that 85k in Lagos? Are they not surviving? Would somebody who came to Lagos to work take up accommodation in a short let Inn? You cme to Lagos as a tourist, and you spent like one. You've not told how many ashawos you had then.

And what do you want me to tell you at this point? You already knows what's best for you.
Anyways, Lasgidi's offer may be on the good side, but then consider high expenses rate that goes with Lagos and when compared to Ibadan.

Calculate your transport fare to and back from work, your feeding at work plus other expenses and subtract it from the 150k. If you can still save at least 70k monthly, you are good to go. We have been there and know what's up. Also start looking for a higher paying job immediately you start the 150k job or do something to improve your income or skills immediately you land. Emphasis the immediately. I wish I got this advice.

Don't go and spend money on Lagos girls o. Save it, invest some in good crypto and pray.
I am writing this from my regrets.
So you spend a lot on birches
