nasonaso: Most people that complain of the expensiveness of Ph chose an expensive lifestyle. I know accommodation in some location are quite expensive but can't be compared with its like in Lagos, Enugu, Abuja and Owerri. Another major issue in ph is the high rate of shop rent. Feeding isn't a problem unless you decided to eat out.There are markets you can buy things very cheap such as Oil mill, mile 1 and the likes. We have many people in Ph who prefer road side purchases. 2 Likes |

KOPT33:What were you doing at Nkalagu? Yes, Owerri is the costliest town to live in South East. Prices of stuff in enugu and Abakaliki are almost the same. Although house rent in Enugu is costlier than in Abakaliki. From what I heard, house rent is generally cheaper in Onitsha. 2 Likes |

Rent- 3-bed in 200k-350k in dense areas, 400k-800k in more decent areas. Unbelievable but true. Sch fees- Average Decent private schs, 15-70k. Behind schs, 200-1.2m Transport- Usually 100 or less for bus drops. Taxi or keke drop is 300-2k depending on distance Food- comparatively cheap Nightlife- Not that much Price of commodities- cheap, whole city is a market Viability: very fertile land to make money City is Onitsha. Very affordable and cheap to live in if you can handle the madness. Nnewi is also similar but cheaper rent and sch fees. Better night life and more expensive prices of items. |

HardMirror: I agree with you on the business part; But on the salary aspect, what is important the most is the purchasing power; Many people are modern slaves in Lagos and they don't know it; If you earn just 50k and you live in ife, osun state; you would live a very comfortable life compare to your Lagos counterparts. But unfortunately, things happen more in Lagos; if you want to scale up in life; you have better chances in Lagos (business wise). I would never want to work as a salary earner in Lagos 2 Likes |

AngelJennifer: P.H is expensive. I stay in Peter Odili. I pay 1.4million for a two bedroom flat. Just like how Lagos and other cities have grade by grade same also with PH. My friend pays 2.8million in service 3bedroom in Old GRA. I have a friend who stays in a very tight 2bedroom flat in Golf Estate and he pays 1million. For the 1500 for pot of soup. Except you mean with just 5 meats inside. Eateries are expensive. Local joints like #500 for a plate. You cannot compare life in those areas you mentioned to these areas I mention like GRA, Old GRA, Peter Odili, Trans Amadi. You can walk night till Dawn with your phone because the security is tight but you can't try it even by 9pm in those areas you mentioned. Just like comparing Lekki with Egbeda. 4 Likes |

IBADAN Accommodation: it depends on the area. Bodija is the most expensive, followed by oluyole /ring road areas and others. I stay in the Allen of ibadan - ring road. A self contain is 80-160k. One bed room flat is 150-250k. Two bedroom flat 200-300k. I get an average of 23 hours light per day. Only a few places enjoy such uninterrupted power anyway Transport : transport is cheap compared to lagos. You can get a minimum of 20 naira bus and the minimum price of Okada is 50 naira. Food : food is cheap here. With 300-500 naira you can buy 2 pounded yam with 1 goat meat in a local restaurant. Olosho. You can get that for 8-15k depending on your specs Jobs. Menial jobs are not scarce. But white collar jobs are scarce. In fact, ibadan economy is powered by yahoo yahoo guys and government. As for me, I'm a freelancer and I earn about 800k-1 million monthly. But most times, my monthly expense is just 60k. Verdict. Ibadan is not boring if you have money. Getting accommodation is cheap. However, getting a good job here is difficult. If you are into agriculture or are self employed, you will enjoy this city. 7 Likes |

SexExplorer:Ibadan will be very cool for a young lawyer. Transport and accommodation rate is unbelievably cheap even food. I will rather earn 50k/month in IB than earn 100k in Lagos. Life in IB is not stressful at all .The city is full of life. One can still get a room apartment in the supposed Bodija for 50k(at least I know of Ekiti street and Ladoke Akintola) and self con for 150k. I had my 3-month law school externship in IB between April 16th and July 4th this year, I really enjoyed my stay. Wanted to serve there but I got posted to OGUN (ABEOKUTA) and my redeployment plan fell through. Can't wait to return to IB after my youth service next year, October 15th, 2019 is almost here. Can't wait o. Life in IB is easy and sweet. I don't know of other field but I know law practice in IB makes a lot of sense. My fellow young lawyers here, I recommend IB to you o. Note : Sorry for focusing too much on law practice and lawyers hustle. Just trying to speak for young lawyers here since no one is doing so currently. But generally, IB is a very cool city if you have a good job, you should be able to save well and enjoy life. Don't forget to visit AMALA SKYE at Bodija �, if you don't visit that place, you are wrong. 6 Likes |

Ibadan is the best of the lot. Accommodation A modern one-room apartment can be gotten with 40-50k For self con though, the average price is 150k (at least I know of Bodija and Elebu in Oluyole Extension, electricity is constant in these two areas among others so your 150k is good bargain) that doesn't mean you can't get a self con of 100k though depending on the area. Electricity On the average, electricity in IB is very good but some enjoy it more than others (shoe get size nah) Transport Too cheap, #30 naira MICRA still dey o I think the longest straight journey in IB costs #200(underline the word STRAIGHT JOURNEY) by bus ni o, you know generally bike is more expensive we even at that they are still reasonable. FOOD Food is cheap, Market yapa where you fit get cheap but quality foodstuff. To list a few : Bodija Market, Molete Market, Dugbe Market (opposite Jaiz Bank, Dugbe market has wings one for clothing and accessories the other for foodstuff both are very cheap,the clothing side of dugbe market is just like Kantagowa in Abúlé Ẹ̀gbá, Lagos in price) Fun Too many places to have fun starting from THE PALMS mall at Ring Road which is the largest in Nigeria, Cocoa Mall too(in dugbe) , Ventura is there for you(at Samonda, U. I Road) , Agodi Gardens is there, Platinum Club at Awolowo way in Bodija, AMALA SKYE at Bodija. The list is endless. Ibadan is the home of fàájì �. Even with 1k, you will still have cool fun In IB. CLUBS yapa o, Apollo lounge dey inside PALMS mall at Ring Road, Switch dey there for you to mention a few. Job IB is perfect for self employed people, white collar job no too dey like Lagos but if you be professional like Lawyer, doctor, accountant or computer wizard. You will make your money. Especially that law. Law firms full IB like kilode and the rivalry is healthy. LAW HUB AT RING ROAD is full of law firms and all of them dey make their money steady. Though law is always like that sha. Conclusion : IB is a very cool city where peace of mind is the norm. Trust me, I was able to get this info within the 3 months I spent there. Though I have been going to IB since I was young this year is the first time I will spend 3 months at a stretch. Don't expect white collar job in abundance in IB except you are a real professional as stated earlier. IB is too good!!! 8 Likes |
