Y’all sleeping on Ebonyi.

Abakiliki to be precise.

Came here and I have refused to leave. The state is a late bloomer and there is still very much room and land for more developments. Everything here is either new or recent.

Best Road. A1
Electricity. (I can vouch for 21-23 hours)
Small city.
No noise.


I can testify.

Spent a week at that massive hotel at Prsco and was shocked. What pained me though was the lack of people .. that place is not well populated and it's so big.

It's the only city I've had a hard time finding a lady to keep me company
Was there last year on vacation. I eventually ran back to Enugu

I spent 2 months joy riding all over the south south and South east last year. Would have gone this year but this insecurity is something else so I'm in my house in Lagos


My experience was exactly the opossite in uyo
The girls were everywhere. So cheap and yet so beautiful
Lol

My dear there's nothing cool about the Ibadan I know...if you didn't relocate to PH, I'm sure you'll still rate Ibadan higher than PH.

Visit other cities in the south and you'll see how bad Ibadan is.

This absolutely not true. Ibadan is good not the best though. But life is peaceful if you have a means of Income and can afford the good life here. No traffic, no unnecessary harassment, no street fight, agbero get sense for ibadan. Nobody stress you here. Since I moved here my life make sense.

Re: Did You Ever Regretted leaving Lagos For Another State In Nigeria? by frazee: 12:03pm On Dec 30, 2022
Moving out of lagos was the biggest fear for me.. thought I won't survive outside lagos.
Relocated to Ibadan in August, 2022.
Wake up 5am to prepare for the day and yet you won't get to your destination on time.
In ibadan I get up 6.30 or 7am and I still meet up with whatever I need to do. Just get on the road and drive only traffic light, traffic and its very irregular...
Na suffer I been dey for lagos since I was born

There industries here and regular companies.
If you want to venture into business there is a big market opportunity...
Ibadan is not a small place and there are opportunities everywhere...

I left Lagos for Anambra State last year because I got a better paying job. I wasn't doing badly in Lagos either but the need to stay with my family overrode all other considerations.

After 6 months I left Lagos, my lifespan increased from 65 to 73 and now to 85. My blood pressure returned to normal. My cholesterol is within normal range, and many more wins.

No regrets whatsoever. It has been happiness all along
and I'm in Anambra State trying to move in January to Lagos.... There's this offer that might come next month

Regret ke?

I'm always grateful to God for taking that step, the only thing it affected was my former relationship and idgaf. Sometimes I wonder if i had taken the step earlier, I would have gone farther than this in the ladder of life(success).

Infact, when I was in Lagos I manage to save 15k in a month, today I am a millionaire thanks to God almighty.
I’m highly motivated, baba how did you do it?

Lived in Lagos all my life until I moved down to Abuja where they don't take light year in year out, except during nationwide darkness which is usually few days darkness .

I lived in festac work in Ajah, I had to wake up by 5am in other to get to work by 8:30.

If I over sleep till 6am I'm in trouble. Mile 2 traffic is very unforgiving for people that don't wake up early.

In Abuja I wake up by 7 am eat breakfast and Bath and dress up and leave for work by 7:45 get to office by 8am.

Life is easier in Abuja. In Lagos every day was designed for suffering and inhaling all kind of smoke
Marina to mile2 monorail has solved that problem.

All the road and goodlight is true I’m currently in Adamawa now but no place is like Lagos in the whole Nigeria bro

I lived in Lagos. My bros still stays in cnb alakija . I grew up in kaduna ,Abuja, jos, gombe, bauchi, adamawa, I love the north so much. Whenever am in Lagos the stress,police,traffic , street boys and more that stress me. I just want to come back to Lagos. Cos the north had no problem good road,light, peace (forget what the media tells you ) we flexing more than you.. street car race , cheap food, good people. And peace of mind.. I do drive from abuja to bauchi. Just to go flex and come back in the morning.. if you leave Lagos with your Lagos sense, then you will conquer anywhere in the world. NOTE. I HAVE STAYED in other countries too oh.. so Lagos for me is a dump ground . I will only miss Lagos for the friends and shrine way we dey chill for night [/quote]

Relocate to Port Harcourt. There are good roads, no traffic, business also thrives because there is money. But cost of living is high ( house rent and food price can touch the sky).
