Try IBADAN. You have all classes there. And you can get a two bed tiles, running water and serene environment for like 150-200k. Food and transportation is affordable. And people of all class and areas of life live there.
Try IBADAN!

If you think you are better than everyone else in that community then you have a low IQ. you said you are an introvert and that may be the problem and not the environment

That's actually the problem.
Introvert always thought they're better than half of the world because they overthink way too much.
If they engage you in a discussion and you fail to say things the way they process it in their mind then they will consider you as unintelligent. Lol
Na so e deh do us but I've began to accept people the way they are. Maybe nah we get fault not them cheesy

This ur story is funny sha. Some places are like that, just ignore them or leave that place before u start having that mindset. But i will advice to change environment. Places like Ogbomosho, Enugu, Awka ifite( school environment) etc. needs to be explored
Lol.. Ogbomosho is worst.. Take it from me.

My dear even on the island you'll only met crass people who would want to drain you. They have zero intellectual values all they understand is fraud and drugs. This epidemic is everywhere. The reason why I stay on my own in my freaking lane.

What made you settle for Ogun of all places in the first place?

Anyways there are nice and affordable places in Lagos on the mainland that are equally cool like the island. If you're interested you can get a cool selfcon for 400k to 650k. The place is very central and exposed. You'll love it!



And you think a cool selcon for 400k or 650k is cool. How much is a plot of land in Ibeju Lekki or Ikorodu?

I think you should move to sagamu, it's an industrial area, so elites would be much there
Akure is also a great option, I would have said Ibadan, but considering the fact you don't like noise, you might rent a space in the GRA sha..

Ogba axis is very okay in Lagos..or better still try to go to the viewing center, bar or lounge over there, you can see some reasonable people over there... choose to be free to be people around you regardless of their situation and see if you can get some reasonable guys..good luck bro

80% of them are like that. Always claiming to have some imaginary job. I don’t befriend them- male and female.

It's hard to escape what he complains of.....no matter which city you relocate to! Unless you are rich or upper-class enough to insulate yourself from all the manifestation of the rot in Nigeria by living in an exclusive and walled-off residential estate!

Nigeria is suffering from the twin evils of lack/poor education (from primary to university levels) and unemployment! These are exacerbated and made intractable and unmanageable by the other problem of over-population! Our problems are legion! undecided

I moved from Abuja to a popular local town in ogun, I don't want to mention the name, in order to pursue my music career.

First of all let me explain something, sometimes as human beings to keep the spirit healthy you need people superior to you or people of higher value to draw energy from or to draw inspiration or an environment that excite and brings live to you or make you alive.

Now that's the problem am facing currently, there are no too many well to do young people in my environment, I can decide to stroll from one street to another and like 10 people would have begged me for money, I went to chicken & co ( it's a fast food outlet like kfc or chicken republic) and I was stopped and harassed by police just because I bought food at a fast food joint. They were asking me what I do for a living. What saved me that day was that I was dressed in some faded clothes, i can't dress nicely because everyone will start hailing and begging me for money and as an introvert I hate unnecessary attention, the ones that don't beg for money will try and engage one in some meaningless side talks that will lower your I.Q.

The ones that are okay are Yahoo boys and I can't relate with them. It's really getting depressing, I can't remember when last have had a highly intellectual conversation. Everyone just seems so rigid and unexposed and it's tiring. I am not really sound and exposed myself now imagine people reducing the little I.Q I have. It's so depressing.

Naturally you Will expect me to move from there but the nearest place is Lagos which will have to be on island because I hate noisy environment and you know how expensive that will be. Am so tired and fed up

Those people will be the ones to buy your music some day....Because the high class ones with 1000000% IQ will think that what you were singing was noise and a waste of their time....

I do not believe that in a community, all of them were as bad as you mentioned. have you seen a Rose flower before? the body part is surrounded with thorns..Infact it looks ugly... but the great thing is that rose emerged from it...

So look for that Rose boy or girl that you can relate with in everything within that Community...The way you put it, it might be difficult but they are there...And as for those boys you think knows nothing, they will come handy someday....You will need them... and you will be surprised based on what they know and how they will help....When you remove the "Johnny just come from oversea" spectacle you are wearing now and see them for real, you might be surprised...

This might be good for motivation but it ends up lowering his standard and IQ. I have been in this situation before and though there might be good people around but their "goodness" does not help in healthy and quality conversation. It's safer for him to relocate and relate with like minds else he will become more introverted and lonely or at worst become one of them, few years down the line he will realise he became worse off. Remaining there also exposes him to security issue because he stands out of the crowd and everyone will have an eye on him.

Its not necessarily all about the environment bro,, I am an introvert too and all you faced is similar to what I face reason is becos we introvert read alot of books and this makes our IQ way above others and engaging in small talks will drain us out. What I will advise you is that you should choose an intellectual place that you can be hanging out regularly like a gym, expensive resort, conferences where you will likely meet like-minded people.
Btw I would like to hear your songs.

It reminds me of my service year. That year was the most miserable year of my short life as, like you, I'm an introvert and I couldn't relate with the locals as they were housewives and cocoa farmers who barely spoke English. Other corp members were a bit of a distance from the village where I resided so I was always alone, battling goats and talking aloud to myself. In that village I realized why goats are called 'stubborn', was toasted by almost every walking male, and of course, for the first time discovered it would be very easy to have multiple boyfriends. I however did not choose that kind of dirty life so I endured intense loneliness.

You have to change your environment because you will be miserable. Don't bother looking for who you can relate with, just change your environment. Change it!!! I speak from experience. Change it!!! I cannot speak English too much. CHANGE IT!!!!!!!!

I hate anything called change because of Buhari....pls use another word or else.....

Apart from Lagos, other SW states (and their capitals) are very slow-paced. You go there for ease of life, not to meet Einsteins on the street. So I wouldn’t know what you were thinking when you relocated to one. Except of course you are working or in school, what did you think was your chances of having stimulating discussions with random locals?

Please enjoy your “IJ” abode.

Ogun state is not that bad completely though depends on the location

I reside around Agbara environ, a store throw from Lagos

It's a cool place with adequate power supply

It's an industrial area, you get to find the good and bad once

Personally i did isolate myself due to my kind of person (introverted?)

Nonetheless, i still have one or two peeps that reason alike!

Those attributes you made mentioned exhibited by the inhabitants in your area isn't present here
