Samade7:

One thing you must understand is there is no money to be made from a cheap location. It means everybody there is literally poor.

Except up own money remotely.

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!

But there is no difference in what you are saying. You are quite right sha, but 250k in lagos is the same with 80k in Niger state(northern places). So nothing like earning higher in lagos, because that same higher is still what Niger state people earn, but cost of living gives the amount a difference, but they earn and spend the same thing!

I know you will not understand thoroughly sha.
Anyways, thanks for your time.

Suleja, Kaduna Road, Madalla and Gauraka, hmm! He can only get a single room with that amount. Some self contain goes for upto 300k, while minimum is 150k

Yorubaboon:
Onitsha is cheaper than lagos and many cities that have been mentioned here, I relocated from lagos to Onitsha and believe me things are way more cheaper than when I was in lagos, struggling to get everything at exorbitant prices.

ChybuzzDD:
The points you raised are different from his.
He's ruling out Gboko because of insecurity, while you're ruling it in as a place to relocate to.
Una no dey read to understand at all

ChybuzzDD:
But you still left the dead zone to go stay in Lagos

PROPEACE:
I concur! 2007 NYSC camp in Gboko, I bought 5 very sweet oranges for #5. I almost fainted when someone told us we were extorted because it was the orientation camp. At Tarka, my friend told me you could get a basket of tomatoes for #120. I swear, true true, Benue na food basket.

You can relocate to Eteo or Nowa in Rivers state. Note: Eteo or Nowa are towards the end part of Eleme LGA and the beginning of Tai LGA respectively, both communities share boundary, much steady power supply, most times been paid by the LGA chairmen(low cost power supply) good Internet network, smooth road connectivity to the city center, affordable house rent, relatively cheap food supply due to the proximity with Ogoni and Akwa-Ibom axis. Don't mind what some people are saying here, there are some places we can live with low budget and still feel the city vibes due the proximity with the city center....

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.

Sharpsharp00123:
Lagos belongs to every Yoruba same way anambara belongs to every Ibo.

Everyone has its own so y should u b worried about how others handle their own?

A Yoruba person doesn't care about what happens in your 5 plots of land but everyday u Ibos want to dictate what happens in Yoruba land

Relocate to Utonko or Itigidi where there is zero cost of living.

Yes yearly

RandomFellow:
I understand you my man. You just helped me explain my point; I didn't even put examples.

If you work in Jabi, Maitama or Wuse, minimum you'll ask for even as a cleaner is 50-80k. And they might pay... But you'll discover someone working in Gwagwalada and earning 40k will achieve more with their salary than you that earn 80k in the same Abuja. Transport will take 60k from you, while Gwags person might not even pay transport in a month to go to work

Osun is fine, accomodation in uyobno be child's play

gr8cany:
Don't go to Ebonyi. house rent alone will usurp you dry.
Living in Ebonyi comes with high cost.

if you want southern region, go to Abia state(Aba) or Rivers state(remote areas) or if region is not specific, go to the north, all norther state, will offer you a safe haven with that budget except that you have to cover your head from banditry and terrorists.

fineeyez:
Do you stay in any of these places

Love800:
Each room has its own bathroom and toilet? Or its a public toilet/bathroom?

Karlifate:
Ibadan, Oyo State.

Especially if you have a steady income
