Upon all the hype, not even Abuja is in the Top Ten.

Nigeria missing in action in both assessments. Obsession down here is bragging on emilokan lies and propaganda of phantom IGRs, good foreign reserves, chronic borrowings and debt pillage with attendant homongous debt servicing ratio while clueless fellas continue to take this nation down the drain.

ALISMILE:
I live in Lagos, I don’t see Lagos as being expensive, really. Except they are talking about places like VI, Ikoyi, Lekki and others. But those are choice areas

Lagos shouldn’t be on this list!

femtex007:
Fake statistics

Remember "take away their recruitment source, reduce their purchasing power, and slow down the economy."?

People are reading the data upside down.

The list is basically stating that of the top 10 African cities listed, Lagos is one of the cheapest.

Many Nigerians, particularly the young ones on social media have convinced themselves that this is the worst country in the world.

In reality, that is far from being the case.

Even compared to Ghana and some neighbouring countries, petrol, gas, and several other goods are still cheaper in Nigeria.

ZaddyJ:
Fake as hell 😂 no Ivory Coast and Senegal
Those two countries is far expensive them all of them put together

Some people will now say they developed Johannesburg and they developed Lagos.
But they didn’t develop Onitsha or Port hacourt Aba.

These are the kinds of negativity Nigeria will always be found that zombies are well pleased. Never can the government compare the country with developmental economies with appreciable indices of economic advancement touching the lives of its citizens.

Don't even go there. When it comes to cost of living in Africa, Nigeria is actually learning where most countries dey. 12.5kg gas cylinder that's less than 80k in Nigeria goes for almost 150k in Rwanda. Monthly rent in a semi middle class area is equivalent of 350k. Everything is expensive and the taxes are higher than in 9ja too. The only difference is you their government is not you chop I chop. No favoritism and public servants carry out their duties without fear of intimidation.
I don't see how high cost living is a measure of anything good economically.

Oriyomin25:
Is high cost of living a good thing??

Go school you say no, try get knowledge your stubbornness no go allow you

Aurelius1:
Things are expensive there because of higher purchasing power
