5. Port Harcourt
Port Harcourt is one of the biggest cities located in Southern Nigeria. It is the economic and political capital of the Niger-delta region of Nigeria.
Port Harcourt is an oil-rich city and has a port, hence the name. The city has good commerce and is ranked among the top cities in Nigeria.
Also known as the Garden City due to its green nature, the city has a place for everyone regardless of their class.
Its Achilles heel which prevents it from attaining a higher place despite available indices is the high crime rate in the city. Residents complain of extrajudicial killings in the city on a regular basis.

6. Enugu
Central to the Igbo civilization is Enugu which is one of the top cities in Nigeria. It was the capital of the Eastern Region and the Short-lived Biafra Republic.
Enugu comes from Enu Ugwu which means “hilltop” but because the British could not pronounce it, they settled for the more pronounceable Enugu.
Enugu has decent economic activities as it boasts of a bottling industry and is the location of choice for movie producers after Lagos although Asaba is giving it a run for its money.
There is an international airport in the city and it is home to top Nigeria’s professional football club, Rangers.
There are lots of activities to do in Enugu and it’s comfortable to live in the city as it has some decent opportunities.

7. Calabar
Calabar lies along the Cross River and is one of the most peaceful areas in the Niger Delta area. Since the 16th century, Calabar has been a port city and was one of the ports through which slaves left the shores of ancient Nigeria.
Calabar was one of the first cities to encounter the British and became the first capital of Southern Nigeria.
Calabar is a tourist centre, aptly called the tourism capital of Nigeria due to the colourful nature of its people and their hospitality. The Calabar Carnival attracts hundreds of thousands of people to the city every December.
Calabar is a metropolitan city. It has an international airport and seaport. At the north of the city is the Tinapa Resort and the Calabar Free Zone.

8. Ibadan
Rising from the crisis that beguiled the Old Oyo Empire, Ibadan grew under the tutelage of republican chiefs who positioned it to become the capital of the Western Region of newly created Nigeria.
Home to the first university in Nigeria and a major beneficiary of the first Nigerian republic, Ibadan is a great place to stay. Ibadan is a hospitable city as the people are friendly and colourful.
With things cheap in the city, you can afford a decent lifestyle in Ibadan.
If you are an entrepreneur, you will find the city receptive to your business activities as there are lots of factors that make a business great there.

9. Kaduna
The capital of Kaduna State, this city is one of the biggest and important cities in the Northern part of the country. Kaduna strength does not lie in only its nerve centre of Nigeria’s major institute but also as a commercial and industrial centre.
Kaduna has a petrochemical refinery, albeit functioning under capacity, and a host of other industries that creates employment opportunities for others. It also has the infrastructures to back this claim.
If not for the religious crisis that keeps popping in the city like a wine shaken vigorously, this city would have occupied one of the leading cities in Nigeria.

Nigeria has thousands of thousands of settlement that ranges from below hundred to over 19 million. However, like the quote in Animal Farm “Some animals are more equal than others”, so are some settlements in Nigeria.
This piece would consider available data and statistics and show some of the best cities cum metropolitan areas to live in Nigeria.
10. Yola
Originally a Fulbe settlement, this town has grown to become one of the best cities to live in the troubled northeast of Nigeria.
Divided into two distinct but homologous part, this city boast of infrastructures and has one of the highest concentration of educational institutions in this city. The city has an airport, river port and fairly good road network.
Unlike other cities in the Northeast that are hotbeds of crisis, Yola has a harmonic relationship between the diverse religious and ethnic group that inhabits the city.
The city has a good economy as it’s the commercial centre of Adamawa state and has many factors that can make an entrepreneur feel at home – good electricity, cheap raw materials and good security.
In Yola, you can enjoy nature as there are lots of natural wonders close to this great city.

Because you are with the security to subvert the will of the people, you want them to keep quiet.
Besides, are the people security agencies? You want them not to fight for their rights when need be?

Short man devil

Nonsense!

sarrki:
In as much I believe Nigeria is a sovereign state

We need check and balances

Then we don’t need the foreign Aid then

Federal government spokespersons should be careful of there utterances

Chai. I never knew you were this wise.

asalimpo:
Op, the cost some of these suggestions may deter many from venturing. 2) the fierce competition may make it unprofitable to even compete.
To get a job e.g on a site one needs - time, electricity (lots of it) and internet access . Say one has time cuz he is unemployed, how much does one need to invest in a) acquiring d mktable skills b) in equipments (computers ,headphone for skype,software etc) c) internet nd electricity?
These things arent cheap neither are they as easy as theyre made to look. It's easier for ppl in countries with 24 hr electrcty nd cheap high speed internet. But in 9ja it's not so easy. Factor in these costs wen u write. Sometimes doing business locally,offline,is more lucrative nd costs less than these online schemes

Thank you for your input!
The thing is I factored that in the OP. You can look it up. I even gave a suggestion.

Geofavor:

LOL...
Depay is a former Manchester United Player. He does music now. What I meant there was that with a good musical skill you will always see someone who will want you to produce a song or write lyrics for them.

This time when BMC will see result, they will run for their heads.
