I have been in Akwa ibom for a year now bro, I have even been informed about 2 bedroom apartment, newly build around town for 250k, interlocked compound , fence round with water , my informant also inform me that dem use marble for some part of the building self all for 250k

frankmoney:
port Harcourt is the most expensive city ...everything cost here , accommodation , food , manpower etc abuja is just expensive based on accomodation

Owerri my city is the las vegas of Nigeria,. While Enugu is another beautiful place • •

sluvy4tune:
Kindly remove Uyo from that list please. Uyo will be expensive(maybe in 3-5years) from now, but at the moment cost of living in Uyo is cheap.

My 2 bedroom apartment, in the heart of the town,interlocked compound with gate,fence round and well sized up bedroom I got it for 250k.( have also seen 3bedroom for 250k as well nice compound)The environment is cool & the house is a virgin house(freshly build) that's why some would say is that expensive.

My 3 bedroom office space with 2 toilet,interlocked compound also in the centre of the town went for 300k, thou not a virgin apartment but very decent and nice 3storey building.

Taking cabs/keke is also very affordable, the price ranges from #30 -#50, if you want a drop it goes for about #150-#200

Journey of 20mins is 20mins no matter the hold up (that's if you encounter any ) I leave my house by 8:49am to catch up an appointment with some1 by 9am and I am rest assure I will get there promptly.

Finally if you wanna relax/chill a movie ticket at silverbird in Uyo is just #250 my first time I tot it was a joke

Considering where I am coming from Abuja/Phc I consider Uyo the cheapest for now. An average abuja /ph Guy is a top notch celeb (money no be problem) in Uyo.
For babes matter na u go tire especially if you be Corper. Don't know why but ibom ladies love corpers Akwa ibom ladies truly know how to keep a man. Food and other wise.

Mbok if you see chicken for #200 u go delete this thread.

sluvy4tune:



Not what you think oh

customized13:
dat means ph is cheap na, if you pay 500k per annum in GRA, some parts in lagos pay 1.2million per annum.

ableguy:

that 500 or 600 k for rent in gra ph can only get u accommodation in places like satellite, okota or ago.
so by and large accommodation is cheaper in ph compared to Lagos

nairalforlaughs:


A.C.M.G.S?

Edoblakky:
Many people are saying what they know nothing about. I used to live in PH and my 2 bedroom apartment in Woji cost 200k per annum. When I came to Lagos, my 3 bedroom apartment in Lekki before chevron drive cost over 1M. Some 3 bedroom cost 1.5M around my house, in Lekki phase 1, it's much higher. I agree PH houses cost but they are less compared to Lagos!

McWhillion:

Then you've missed the point here, if an Eastern village is more expensive to live in than Lagos, do one need to tell you that it would be much more expensive to live in their cities.

iiiyyyk:



Which eastern village?
Pple just like typing nonsense, do they pay accomodation in villages? Do they buy foods maybe rice
They cook with firewood ...
How would a village be expensive?
Compared to even the least city....

McWhillion:

Hey dude, next time don't spew your opinionated thrash on a one year old thread. If you follow through the thread I wasn't talking about rent, my opinion was tilted towards food, and yes it's cheaper to buy food n some other commodities in Lagos than in some villages in Imo state. Don't quote me with your nonsense talk again.

iiiyyyk:


Mbe talking without prove. Thats how we know idiots. U sit in ur jungle and talk about places u have never been to. U be witch?

Mention one village in Imo state and the food item that is more expensive there than in lagos.
Just mention one

McWhillion:


Its obvious you are a reta.rd and a low life. I have better things to do than to trade words with a worthless piece of shiit that you are.
Stupid cretin.

iiiyyyk:


Hahahaha
Resorting to abuse... trait of ignorant agburus...
A Clear evidence u don't know what u are saying and can't defend ur word.
Burry your pap filled head with shame.... if u can't mention just one village in Imo state where food items are more expensive than lagos.

MENTION ONE

Miller1:


the person saying that rent in gra ph surely u miss road. wen I pay 500k for a 2 bedroom at just mgbouba. gra ph u should be talking of 1mil minimum

You lived in woji village and i guess your relocation is upto 5yrs, newsflash, a 2BR flat in woji village is averaging 450-500k, if you like decent places in Woji like the Alcon area or anywhere by Elelenwo bypass, average rent for 2BR flat (decent one) is 650 to 800k depending on facilities, and who told you woji is Portharcourt? You could have mentioned Obigbo too as PH

McWhillion:

You started the barrage of insults so I refused to continue in the line of discourse that was meant to be since your anus which you use in thinking cannot converse with humans without insulting them.

On a second thought, let me lay this to rest. My mom comes from Akabo in Imo state and anytime she goes home the only thing she says is cheaper to buy in the village is maggi. Food stuff is generally costlier in Imo than in Lagos.
This can be attributed to:
1. Arable land that can be used to grow crops is in short supply. Red soil is predominant in the east.
2. Commercial farming is less popular in the east than in the north and west.
3. Owerri never recovered from the ravaging of its farmlands during the civil war, the Owerri people were not particularly known to be great farmers before the war but even the little farming they engaged in almost completely disappeared after the war.

If you're not convinced you can travel down to the east and see for yourself.

iiiyyyk:



Hahahahahahahahahahah
Chai
Nothing person no go hear for nairaland...
Hahahahah
Owerri never recover from civil war...ewoo.
I can swear with any thing u have never been to eastern nigeria b4.
Chai.
All the stories u stated above does not give answer to the question.

The question remains MENTION one food item that is more expensive in Villages in Imo state than Lagos?

McWhillion:

I just confirmed how dumb and naive you are. Just buzz off and stay out of my mentions till you have something more enlightening to say.
