xristos: As a Plateau indigène Who have lived most of my life in the south. Yes my hometown Jos is a very nice place. The weather is so so cool and loveable, a mountaineous subtropical climate. You can stay a whole month in Jos without sweating. Infact, you will hardly ever sweat by walking under the sun for hours. You only sweat when you run or go to the gym. Rayfield (Jos south) is a very good area. And the power supply there is almost 24/7. Apart from Rayfield. State lowcost, Federal low-cost and New Abuja are also very decent middle income neighborhoods in Jos south with cheaper costs of rent, high quality schools, good infrastructure and near 24/7 power supply. Like State lowcost where all the streets are tarred. Some streets in Rayfield are not tarred. Don't allow anyone deceive you that religious crisis is very regular in the whole of Jos. No. In most of Jos south, except Bukuru town, there are no longer muslims. Even in Jos north-west, there are no muslims. However there is a strong presence of cultism there due to numerous slums and low income neighborhoods. Where religious frictions tend to occur is Jos north-north and Jos north-east where Christian and muslim neighborhoods meet in almost 50- 50 proportions. Food is becoming increasingly expensive in Jos, but it is still not anywhere close to that of Abuja or Southern Nigeria. Though an agragrian state, food is becoming expensive because the demand for this food from Southern Nigeria and the Core north is increasing by the day. Food is no longer insanely cheap as it used to be like 10 years ago where 100 naira tomatoes and 100 naira potatoes can feed a family for days. Lastly, I advice you to try your best to relocate your job to Jos. Abuja to Jos is close and thousands ply that road on a daily basis. However, once in a while, especially around the boundary area between Southern Kaduna and Nasarawa (Karu north), Fulani Herdsmen come out to terrorize the road. Though it is very rare. 8 Likes |

Re: Relocation From Abuja To Jos City by loppy87: 11:06am On May 04, 2021 |
I feel it is a right decision to move to Jos with your family. I stayed in Jos for 9 years before I moved to Abuja with my family because of work. I lived in Rayfield for 4 years and I assure you will get a standard two bedroom in some areas in Rayfield with good light and security for 350 to 400k. Your kids will also have access to good schools at affordable costs. An average Rayfield resident in Jos will struggle here in Abuja, life is tough here I must confess but man must not relent. If you need contacts of house agents and any other info, feel free to reach out. Besides, even if your transfer request is not granted, coming to jos for weekends is not a bad idea. But kindly consider the security risks of travelling frequently through Abuja to Jos. God will help you. xristos: 2 Likes |

@OP, whatever choice you make, don't include living away from your family and hope to visit by weekends... It will affect your wife and children and in the long run all the savings you mustered will b waste of effort. Always stay with your family.. You created them 2 Likes 1 Share |

Brother, the cost of a 2 bedroom flat in Rayfield is about N400,000 to N500,000. You can get it for N250,000 to N300,000 in the surroundings. Transportation is cheap. |

I lived and worked in jos and was among the employees of one of the biggest IT firm in jos back then AfriOne. Jos is a lovely place and I have considered moving back there plenty times. If you have a remote job or some way to earn from Out of Jos, go ahead otherwise think it carefully. The place is nice, cheap and lovely but not a lot of ways to make money there for IT folks, xristos: |

xristos:Hmmm. I will be relocating haven spent 9 years in Jos; to God be the Glory. There are good schools for your kids in Jos. Additionally, food stuffs and veggies are cheap. Your current house rentage can get you a nice 3 bedroom flat in rayfield and federal low-cost. However, the security situation in Jos is unpredictable. I wish you the best! |

xristos: Jos is a lovely town. i have lived in jos since 2008 (Rayfield to be precise). i work in abuja now (since 2015). i recently relocated my family to Abuja. so i know abuja and jos. . . . Jos is a better town for a low/middle income earner to live when compared to abuja. The kind of schools that you would ordinarily spend less than 100k per term in jos, in abuja you could pay over 300k per term. life in jos is cool and affordable. cost of living in jos is very affordable when compared to abuja. for me, if i must live in abuja, it has to be Maitama, Asokoro, Central Area, Wuse 2 and environs. living in Rayfield Jos can almost be compared to living in these areas; Trust me on this!! Bro if you need assistance to really settle and live a good moderate life in jos, hala me. Good Luck!!! 1 Like |

xristos: I am from Jos, born and bred, lived most of my life in Jos until 5 years ago when I moved to Lagos for greener pastures, now, I'm doing far better in Lagos, I run my company remotely and still hold a job which does not make up for 20% of my monthly earnings even tho I'm required to be there just 2 times a week. I was in Jos in December after spending 3 years without going back, and the visit made me realize how much I missed Jos and how life can be easy, it also opened my eyes to see how we suffer unnecessarily in Lagos. Jos absolutely lacks the hustling spirit that Lagos has and things are very calm and slow there, there are no jobs too, most people survive through handwork, so make sure you hold down that your job tight, and also get madam doing something too. My friend stays in a nice 1br apartment around Bingham teaching hospital and pays just above a 100k, I stay in the same in Lagos and pay almost x4 of that amount, it's crazy, I am thinking of moving back to Jos too since my job is remote. The only problem is that the cultisim in Jos is now extreme, I grew up in an area called Apata, was born there and all, many of my friends are now big time cult guys, even though I am relatively safe due to old time sake with these guys, but still, you can never tell. We sat to drink, eat, wine and dine during my last visit with many of them, but like people said already, going somewhere like Rayfield is fine, it is safe, and relatively cheap compared to Abuja, but also, do not move in the night, it is not advisable. Good luck... 1 Like |
Re: Relocation From Abuja To Jos City by mofedamijo(m): 11:31am On May 04, 2021 |
Jos is best for you and your family Sir. Growing up, there were so many whites in Jos. They had several businesses and tourism was booming. The whites and other foreigners enjoyed Jos because of the weather, food, serenity and ambience. Today, I don't think you will find a white person in Jos. Probably a Reverend Father or Sister. Nigeria.... Ohhhh I weep for you. Growing up in Lagos, the NEPA pickup had a speaker on it. They would drive around our community to announce load-shedding due to transformer maintenance. If they tell you 3hrs of no electricity, then its three hours, and thereafter, electricity will be restored. There was no Internet, but they were efficient. I haven't been home in years, however, i remember my childhood in Lagos, and I compare it to the Nigeria of today...... Just so sad..... I hope to start a movement, to help other African Countries from falling like Nigeria. So help me God. 4 Likes |
