May 1 2019 left Lagos to uyo as a result of heart break and chaos in my life. That was the lowest point in my entire existence... had fear for the future but like they say what the enemy meant for evil, God turned it around for my good. What i couldn't achieve in over 30 years in lagos i achieved two years in Uyo Akwa-Ibom state . Started my dream career with an ngo, started and finished my masters degree, got landed properties, achieved financial freedom, met amazing people etc
Thank God for ordering my steps.
Truly what God cannot do does not exist
Awka-Ibom ayaya
Will never trade that state for anything...
My resting place�

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
Abuja is gradually becoming like Lagos.
Unless a drastic measure is taken.

Is ph so cool like dt? I tot dey said pH is chaotic

In PH there is no job unless you want to be a trader... And house , food are expensive except transport to some areas are cheaper but damn no job... You might be lucky if you get a contract for building projects or so and that's if you have connections... They will tell you it's because of so many schools surrounding PH... Another thing is if are not financially boyant then you are finished...
And I forgot be careful of one way drivers... They love that in PH and be careful of cultist, thugs and petty theft... They litter all around PH... Ask anyone... I stay around chinda axis close to Ada George and I can tell you what's up

Well them never bash my car before.
But ibadan bike and keke riders are far better than the ones in Lagos...
My car is better off in ibadan in terms of scratches compared to when I was in lagos.

You see am. Ode! How can living in Asaba mean the whole Delta State when Asaba is just a part of the whole Delta?

If you live in Asaba, you can tell someone outside the state that you live in Delta state. If the person wants to know more, you can be more specific and say asaba.

But if you are comparing two different states or cities, it must be like for like. You compare Asaba with Benin and Delta with Edo. How does this statement sound to you; Edo is a better place to live in than Asaba"?

Zombie!
this fool won't back off my mention,he keeps disgracing himself with low iQ but trying to prove woke.

You keep exposing your ignorance and stupidity. You were the one jumping into conversation you didn't understand,oponu.

This goat was talking a state when what I was simply comparing was the specific area where I am to other cities I have also lived.

But the fool brought in Delta better than Edo when where he lived by explanation is asaba.

Look little boy, go argue with your mates or probably your father. You have no sense. Pig

They're Nigerians who are childfree. We just don't talk about it on this forum as this place is saturated by incels. I and my spouse are both cf Nigerians. I've met a few others too. This forum is not a good place to discuss deep things so you won't find many folks with divergent views here.

I actually have seen as well.
Noticed some string devout Catholics , my observations .
Actually know some who died childless.

I left Lagos last year December and relocated to ibadan which I really enjoyed, the cost of living, security, feeding is very affordable. Though here may be boring sometimes but running my business here is really so much functioning which I enjoyed
Ibadan is kind of boring and mingling with people that share a different view can be a task

Marriage took me from Lagos to PH and I regret it. Few jobs with poor pay is what is available. No connection, no good job. I am in the medical field yet the average pay here is 60% of what is paid in Lagos. My career took 2 steps backward within the past 2 years of living in PH. The only good thing in PH is the transportation, traffic free road and low transport fare compared to Lagos. If you have money, you will enjoy PH.

To be sitting at home from Saturday to Monday every week grin ain’t that a highway to poverty?
All those tales you hear of "sit-at-home" isn't as serious as it seems on the media.

This is coming from someone living in Imo State. We go to work and any other activities on Mondays. The only issue is that a few miscreants took advantage of the sit-at-home to cause mayhem, but isn't security an issue everywhere else?

If you do not see anything wrong in implying that Akure is a South west state, then you the biggest idiot on this Nairaland.

Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria, and the most densely populated. To put into perspective how small Lagos is, Toro local government, just one of the 13 LGA's in Bauchi state is bigger than Lagos twice.

And because Lagos has a major airport, the formal capital, a seaport, and a major internal economy, it's stress level is off the roof. And oh, making things more expensive as well.

Waoooooo

Toro lga is bigger than lagos? Is it lagos state as a whole or just lagos island? Because lagos as a whole from ikorodu to badagry is quite big for a local government though I understand the north has a big land mass.
Niger state is bigger than the whole south east and that is very crazy even though south east has far more population

I left Lagos State for kano and I have never regretted it. The only people that relocates from Lagos and regret are those that go to Alaigbo. High cost of living,no jobs and insecurity



I think u guys don't ever feel good without insulting igbo people.

If u are sensible enough u will know that this topic has nothing do with tribe and hate.

I think u have no sense of ur own that is why insulting people makes u feel good.

Lagos as a whole bro. Lagos is roughly about 3000 km sq, while Toro lga is roughly about 7000 km sq. Lagos is small bro.

How about Niger state that is bigger than Lagos about 20 times? Now you understand what Peter Obi meant when he said that lands are just wasting in the North.

Make I shock you small. Niger state for example is bigger than Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg combined, but Netherlands is one of the top 3 exporters of food globally.

That tiny Netherlands can feed whole Nigeria if we open our market for their products, peak milk is an example.

And Toro lga is not the only one bigger than Lagos, there are more, like, a lot. Empty land wasting away.

Yeah
For someone born in Lagos too.
I do come to visit oga back then, I spend a week or more.it was refreshing.
Na marriage brought me to ABK. So after staying for few months at a go. It became very verrrry boring.
But for someone who has gone thru the hustling and bustling of Lagos. So I learn to spice up my life, home and marriage.
I miss my friends and the fun sometimes but I can't deal abeg. I can't spend a night in Lagos again.
There are various opportunity and businesses in ABK.

It’s no secret that the stress level of Lagos is very high.
However, of what use is Abeokuta’s less chaotic atmosphere if it doesn’t put money in one’s pocket?
The bitter truth is that there are no jobs in Abeokuta.
Except if one decides to settle for petty business. But even that itself doesn’t do so well because of the fact that the residents of the city have very low purchasing power.
So where does that leave us? Just increased poverty and hopelessness.
The question again is; of what use is the calmness and serenity if it doesn’t put money in the pockets.
Though it needs to be said that those that work in private sector and are paid the same wage and salaries with those in Lagos are the ones truly enjoying Abeokuta.

Na wa oooooooooooo

At bolded ....... that means these countries are really really small.
The north is really trying in terms of agriculture.

There is a market i go in the north, they always bring grains like maize, soya beans etc to the market in trailers all year round. All year round and i do wonder who and where do they farm this massive crops? despite all these crops being done manually and not tractor.
