I was born in Lagos. I have a job and run my business in Lagos. Lagos seems to be the end all be all for business especially ones related to the entertainment industry. That is my niche.

But now a friend told me that Lagos is overhyped and that other places especially Abuja is way better place to live in. He made me see things in a different light.

Now Nairalanders what is your take on this. Is Abuja truly better? Can I hustle my business (check my signature) over there?
Or is Lagos still a better place if we overlook the traffic and stress we go through everyday to make ends meet.

If You can afford the cost of good accommodation in Abuja... Then, comparing Abuja with Lagos is like comparing Sleep and death!!!
My brother find your way to Abuja biko

Abuja is 10x better than Lagos...... And more cheaper to live in forget all those labeling Abuja as an expensive city... Lagos is more expensive.... I have lived in Abuja for over 20yrs and have stayed in Lagos partially for some time. Lagos is a time bomb waiting to explode so dirty a city. If quality of life matters to you rellocate ASAP.

True.

For business o, Lagos is number 1 in the entire west Africa. But I'm also in your shoes, I'm tired of Lagos. Abuja might just be the next option for me also.
I'm into fashion designing.

Abuja is good bro. Lagos is not bad, though to me is getting saturated. Unlike Abuja, More cities are open up in the fct

Lagos is good but stressful.lagos have the market for business.moreover there are many places you will be in Abuja you will think you are in lagos
