Nowenuse:


If you are talking of hustling northern cities, then Kaduna and Kano is your best bet.

If you cannot speak hausa at all and you are not good in learning languages easily, then Kaduna is better because about half of all Kaduna residents can speak english/pidgin due to the high population of christians there. If you also are the socializing type, then Kaduna is also a better option for you.

If you prefer a northern city with very good weather and beautiful landscape, extremely friendly natives, very cheap and assorted foodstuffs and vegetables. Then try Jos. Although Jos is not a hussling place like Kaduna or Kano. It's more of a civil service town, but it is neater and comparatively cheaper than Kaduna and Kano. And also not to forget, social life is Jos is very hot and high.

is there a building material market in Kaduna?

uboma:





Kaduna and Plateau are states where you can get by so easily.


What do you have against the Northern region?

You know na- BH, Religious riots, anti southerners riots, tribal upheavals, political intability, long distance from home, etc. etc etc

Ibadan is not cheap o

It is not as cheap as people make it out to be, but it is still cheap compared to other cities in Nigeria. I live in a place called Ajobo (city outskirt), in a 3 bedroom apartment (new house) and the rent is 200k yearly. That is relatively cheap. I moved here from Lagos last year. What part of Ibadan do you live?

1nigeriamyfoot:


Ibadan is better than Oshogbo, no gain saying that Oshogbo is kinda local(no hating) and not that industrialized but has stable electricity supply, cheap accommodation & even cheap food.

Areas like Iyana Church, Alakia has good power supply and accommodation is not that expensive. If you can get a space along Akobo Road to establish your welding skill, you will make it in no time(from life experience).

Getting accommodation in Ibadan is not that difficult, I would have assist you with that but nairalanders are quick to call you names. You can check Jide TAIWO on Google, website www.jidetaiwoandco.com they have properties across the country, you can even get Ibadan accommodation before your arrival and move in immediately on your arrival

Goodluck

Hmmm y not suggest badagry??

Idrismusty97:
If you don't like the northern region then you are not ready to relocate. Personally i will rather pick a job in the north with 50k as salary than to pick any southern state with 100k salary.

Break it down please, throw more light

If you are going to be making money online then I would say Ibadan. BUT if you are going to look for job.... I would say Lagos because that is where all the good jobs are.

1realBobby:
Dear nairalanders... I actually want to relocate from my present location right now, I have limited resources ( like 100k) in my account...
please any idea of where I can relocate to in Nigeria that has good security, cost of living at minimum and cheap and affordable houses to rent...

Trustme2:
Sambisa Forest will be your best bet. I learnt there's an on going recruitment there too so no need to look for a job. Shekau will be ready to receive you with open arms

Kikikiki chop kain

House rent and private primary school fees are a lot cheaper in Ibadan than most decent areas in Lagos (except ghetto areas like Ajegunle).

Luxuryconsult:
ibadan or akure is your best bet in South west.. Things are so relatively cheap in ibadan. You'd get single room self con around apete area (though a rural place but very populous cuz it's closer to the polytechnic, Ibadan) around 60k upward, you can also get around 70k upward around eleyele axis, eleyele is better than apete in so many ways and there are three tetiary institutions situated in that area, electricity is very good. And if you can afford something 150k, you'd get a tiled single room self con in old bodija (an estate) or challenge and so forth.. Some part of ibadan are very peaceful, once you don't stay around all those ghetto areas like, bere, mopol and all the so called ibadan central cities.. Food is cheap, transport too. But getting a good paid job in ib can be so frustrating, so it would so much be in your favour if you are self made and get a shop/office in some selected parts of ibadan. Don't forget ibadan is a very big city, the biggest in west africa i believe so there are lots of places you can surely stay. Those places i mentioned to you are places i'm so familiar with. And things are not as cheap in akure as ibadan though but still cheap to some extent.. Transportation is kinda expensve in ondo state generally than most other south west states. And food is still kinda expensive too but ondo state i believe is still the most peaceful state in south west presently and akure is beautiful to some extent. But even though it is a state capital, it is still somehow scanty unlike few other state capitals. But you'd surely get cheaper accomodations in places like oke aro, oba ile and few other places and if you have a degree that can be considered for a teaching job, then you'd probably get to earn about 15k - 25k or more monthly depending on the kinda school you get. This teaching job applies to ibadan also. And if you don't care much about all those online report about osogbo then it's a city you can give a trial too. You'd get accomodation for 60k i mean single room self con but i don't know much about their jobs.

akure is good but it's a home of 419...know that one weller

There is stable supply of electricity at Sango and Ijokodo, especially Ijokodo. I just love the area coz of electricity and the houses are cheap. IBADAN IS CHEAP.

is there a building material market in Kaduna? what kind of business strives in Kaduna? thanks for the answers

Really, every kind of business thrives in Kaduna. There is a market for everything. A city as big or even bigger than PH should not have less.

Kaduna is like the Lagos or PH of northern Nigeria (although Kano is somehow more commercialized/industrialized than Kaduna). Since Kaduna has a refinery and oil firms, let me say PH. But Kaduna is more like a complete package compared to Kano.

fineyemi:
I usually have light for days without those NEPA taking it. sometimes for weeks. and of they take it, they will bring it back immediately. I stay at oke baale area close to UNIOSUN

I need a house in dis area, as long as light is guaranteed room and parlor self contain or 2 bedroom flat
Hope nor be village?

Hope you can help out

Pidgin2:


Osogbo sounds cool, how many hours of electricity averagely can one expect?

Depends. Where I stay now, averagely 21-23hrs of electricity.
In my family house at another area, electricity is averagely 18-20 hours. And those times that there's no light, you seldom need it then sef

fineyemi:

How close is your place to uniosun? I need a hostel close to the school, with constant electricity and water supply
