Dam! Akure is not cheap,house rent is at the high side,buying of food stuff is dam epensive. Food and housing are two factors one will consider in Low cost state...Last bullet:Akure is not cheap.

elitejosef:
In benin u still get well tushed 3b flat for 8k monthly

True. If you don't mind living a bit away from Central areas, you will get a 3-bedroom flat, ensuite, fenced, borehole etc for about 100 to 120k/year in Benin.

Foodstuff from the many markets are cheap.

Power is not stable though, you need a gen set.

CHESSBOARD: I cant still understand why ABA is sooo cheap, an Item my wife bought in Portharcourt for #45,000 is just #7,000 in Aba and its just a 30 mins drive
Thats bc #7000 is the actual Selling Price, the only reason i hate PH is bc they over-hype things...the town isn't supposed to be dat expensive on a good day. Then OP, Yes food stuffs, clothing , transport is cheap in Aba - but def not housing. When a standard 3 bdroom in a choice area is going for 18k - 25k a mth, considering the fact that there is no job in Aba, except banking/few civil servant /teachers/ few private coys ...that's not cheap as far as a concerned bc, an average salary earner in the town can't afford that easily. I understand PH being expensive, na 2 much Oil companies around dey worry them.

hmmmm I dey laff, I think its time people visit Benin City the ancient kingdom,

If you are looking for a cheap city where you can get anything you want in a lesser price then visti Benin city,

3bedroom flat all ensuite in GRA is not more than 160k - 250k

foodstuffs very cheap in any market,
Transportation very cheap
the best of all is Electricity, have travelled to all the south south states, south east states, western states, but non is comparable to Benin City in terms of electricity, I have observed.

Please my good people go to Benin and see for your self.

Re: 10 Cheapest Cities To Live In Nigeria by adanny01(m): 9:36am On Jul 14, 2014
I suspect PDP on this list. Ikot Ekpene!

I didnt expect any of Akwa Ibom town to make this list. The people are known for high level of greed in their pricing structure and their unwelcoming attitude towards visitors who intend to take something home from business. Igbos dont find it easy there.

Though there is money to be made there.

I sincerely agree, cab is 30naira, no matter where ure going to within osogbo u cant spend 100naira on transportation. And about NEPA, osogbo has a distribution station so light there is excellent. I remember when i was still schooling, they will tell u when they want to take light.

the same meal in PH wouldn't be less than 500 naira
