Hi, I need some help figuring out something I’ve been contemplating.

Due to some financial difficulties, I have to relocate and I’m looking for a place in Nigeria that’s very affordable in terms of rent and general cost of living. One of my top priorities is reliable electricity and good network connectivity, as these are essential for my work and daily life.

My budget is quite limited—less than ₦100,000—so affordability is crucial.

So far, the options I’m considering include:

Osogbo, Osun State

Uyo, Akwa Ibom

Gboko, Benue State

Abakaliki, Ebonyi State


If you have any suggestions, insights, or recommendations about these places—or anywhere else that might fit my criteria—I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks so much for your help!

Your village is the cheapest place for you to live, because there you have free housing in your ancestral homestead and free (or extremely cheap) land to farm so that food is never a problem

One bedroom flat in Owerri world bank, works layout, ikenegbu, MCC is very cheap 100k per year.

Awka is 80k per year

Enugu 80k per year

In Aba. Abia state its 70k per year

While umuahia town is 80k per year

Karlifate:
Ibadan, Oyo State.

Especially if you have a steady income


Sharing from firsthand experience.

Which side for Ibadan abeg

.100k is not enough for you to relocate.. house rent alone has finished the 100k...not to even talk of costs of transporting yourself to the state you want to relocate to

GorillaApp:
What about eket. I love that place

Akwa Ibom isn't cheap

Labo, in Ibadan or born photo
You may not even need to pay for house rent

Definitely a northern state.

I suggest Zamfara State. Life is very very cheap there.

Go to the north .

Gombe

Life is slow there but it is cheap and extremely peaceful..

Lekki

Go to Jebba in Kwara state, power is stable and house is very very cheap way below your budget.

[quote author= post=135458418]Do you work remotely or got a job paying in dollars, and now you want to relocate to a place where your money stretches like suya on a hot grill of
MANNABBQGRlLLS.

Taraba State is one of the most affordable states to live in, with cheap housing, food, and a low cost of living.
Also, Kogi, and Bauchi are among the cheapest states.

.....and This is official.
[/quote]Longest time indeed, I thought of last week, thinking you have gone to hades

Go to the north but hold ransom money for bandits 😂

Prison

Kebbi, Jigawa, Kastina, maybe Ekiti and/or Osun, Taraba. These places are significantly cheaper than those places you listed.

Generally, life is more expensive in southern Nigeria and any Christian dominated area compared to northern Nigeria and most Muslim dominant cities.

P.S. I saw that you mentioned Osun. Fair enough.

to me I think ondo or oyo state

LtCZAR:
Try Nasarawa. But Avoid New Nnyanya, Maraba and that Karu axis.

From Masaka down dey good to go.

What of keffi

GorillaApp:
What about eket. I love that place

Any place where oil forms the backbone of the economy gets an inflated cost of living.

Eket isn't cheap. Uyo is actually cheaper than Eket, but more expensive than the places OP listed.

lol u are obviously joking..

I personally know a retired top naval officer who just retired and built and settled permanently at Calabar, and he is from the middle belt, when I probed on his reasons he said Calabar and Ilorin are Nigeria most peaceful towns to retire to or to raise children, so it's not just about cost of living alone but equally about peace and tranquility for you and your family

Another thing though, affordability has more to do with securing an almost free accommodation. Accommodation is a major driver of cost of living. So, OP, where can you get a free place to reside without issues? That's where it becomes cheaper to live.

Honestly u are joking, u cant get one bedroom flat with such amount even in village at enugu and awka

Ibadan is ok. I lived there from 2017-2020. Just avoid high end areas like oluyole,dugbe and others I can't remember now. Anywhere around bashorun, idi ape, iwo road, gate and others are ok for your budget

Karlifate:
Ibadan, Oyo State.

It is going to be a city or town in the North. Or towns in Ondo, Oyo ( apart from Ibadan ) and Ekiti. Cheers.

Oga come to North
With that Budget here in the North you will be living like Elon musk

Kwale in delta state
Because there's no light for over 18 years n counting, so landlords are yet to increase house rent

fineeyez:
What part of Ibadan

moniya is kind of cheap.

Apata also cheap.

Taraba - Jalingo
