Stay in Abuja, one of, if not the only planned city in Nigeria. Lagos is ridiculously expensive and less secure.

Where una dey see money

Depressed101:
i know people who are earning $15,000 per month with benefits, these are young men.. Truly our mentality has to expand to see possibilities..

In Nigeria here abi

200k in abuja

You'll definitely regret moving to Lagos, stay in Abuja and find opportunities for growth.

tosbobby:
If the Lagos offer comes from a reputable firm it is very okay and at the end, your monthly net savings would be around N230,000.00

Know fully well that if you decided to work at Abuja your net savings would be around 140 to 150k

A firm that is willing to pay you N300k will surely promote you over time.

Conclusion
- There is no significant difference in the cost of living in both states
- If you have dream of being your own boss and creating business of your own in the future please take the Lagos offer as it will help you to raise capital and pursue your dream.
Lagos is your best shot.

Best if luck.

Op this is coming from a futuristic man, don't joke with all stated above. Much sense...

Good luck too!

Dear Nairalanders.
I currently have two job offers on the table. One is in Abuja and the pay is about N200,000 a month, while the other is in Lagos and the pay is about N300,000. I am presently based in Abuja and have never stayed in Lagos. I only visited on occasions. The Lagos offer is tempting but I am kind of apprehensive about relocating there because of the challenges that come with staying in Lagos.
Please I need your inputs. Which would you rather choose, the Lagos offer or the Abuja one?
Serious suggestions only please!

boss I want to email you about job offers please help me so that I can start working sir.

confirm!

Mood11:
Stay in Abuja.
Maintain your apartment and earn your 200k in peace.

If you relocate to Lagos, rent, expenses and miscellaneous will reduce your 300k to 100k or less

this man...but na true u talk o. If na Pape or those cheap areas he dey stay, he can make it with the Abuja salary than Lagos.

Omo give me 100k for Abuja sef

Mercychen:
Can you tell us the challenges in Lag that are not in Abuja?

Is it the standard of living? They are almost the same except if you live in a remote area in ABJ. There are areas in Lagos that are reasonable and affordable. Also nice.

In fact, take the Lagos offer.100k is not a small amount of money. Besides are you not man?

If single ladies like me are surviving and surmounting the challenges of Lagos, why can't you? And to think I was born and bred in Lagos.. abeg, no challenges jor.

If you decide to accept the Abuja offer, don't forget to link someone here with the lag job, Biko. And if na the lag job you pick, give out the Abuja offer to a bro on here.

Best of lucks.

Who gives a Bleep about whether you surviving in Lagos or not

But wait o
Wonder where d job is coming from? Because boys r not smiling out dere o
All I can c here is 30-40k job here & some people will still be envy dat shit

Never been to Lag.

All nah scam

If nah truth you dey talk, work 1 month for Abuja collect 300k....
Buy iPhone 7, DM me later, travel cum Benin, I go carry you go where them dey do soap

Brownshoe:
Na lie jor, you just want to post something,

Stop all these lies. You only want opinion of people. You mo get any job.

You have already made up your mind
Wonder why you need advice.
Abuja is for you remain because you cannot cope in Lagos.
It is better for a lagosian to relocate to Abuja than an Abujite relocate to Lagos.

You dey mind them?

Go for Lagos This is because Lagos is cheaper than Abuja.

Someone is here with two different job offers, contemplating which to pick and which to ditch.
And some one like me is finding it hard to smell one. God, this is a new year, pick my call!

Abeg where una dey see this kind work? Kindly show me way please

Stay in Abuja but expect to pay more for grocceries

well for me I will advise you to check which one that has job security more, because a company can decide to pay you 500k this month and lay you off next month.

Lagos traffic is on break now. Traffic will resume next Monday. Road free now. Vi to surulere by Uber is 600 naira few days ago

nitt:
Abuja o.

Frankly speaking, I don't think I can ever take a job in Lagos outside of 2 or 3 Government Agencies which I will not mention here.

I rather take an 80k job in other places than take a 200k job in Lagos.

Accommodation and Transportation stress alone is enough to rewire ones brain.

And, I grew up in Lagos.

mercychen just gave you the best advice.

This is your best advice. I have lived in both cities concurrently so I know what I'm talking about.

Except you want to live in slums, accommodation is not cheap in Abuja.

Believing this story is same as believing in Buhari the cow rearer

This is why some of you can never make it. You don't expect something you don't believe in to work in your favour.
I don't know where you guys get the idea from that job offer of 200k, 300k or 400k are not available. Funny enough when some of this offers are available, they are usually base on recommendation and sometimes the staffs go extra mile in search of the right person.

I'm base in Lagos but i will advice you to remain in Abj with the 200k job if you like yourself.
