Wow so Oyo is preferred to the FCT ,Rivers state,
Delta state, AkwaIbom in terms of relocation .

And kwara is having a higher relocation index than Rivers state. This is getting interesting.


And Lagos is not even in the list.

Very very soon, Oyo will be most populous state in Nigeria. The ambala sky plus iya Ila make sense. Those micra, opo orowomi. Kwara is another place, but AA should tackle insecurity. grin grin grin grin grin

The brown roof town was rated above FCT , Rivers state, Delta state ,kaduna state. I think we are getting to the last straw of data that will break the data camel's backbone

There was a thread on Twitter some days ago that if they give you 800k salary or something that where will you live (Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Oyo, and etc).

Most people chose Oyo state.

People choose state based on many criteria. Affordability, security, relative opportunity, and night life.

Oyo state somehow is one of the states where you can get that guarantee.

No one will choose to go and live in any South East state because no security in that region.

Too many false stats lately. When it's not on revenue, it's on poverty or education etc

Even Aziamakas won’t relocate to the East. Almost all of my guys that are from the East here never visit their hometown anytime they go to Nigeria.

If you pick 10 Ezeamakas and give them a free check to relocate to any state, 9 of them will pick state outside their region.

Insecurity don destroy that region.

This cannot be true.
IPOB/Obidients told us that the East is Heaven
Why would statisense brings this to us.
I don't believe it.
Obi turned the East to an Utopia and he said he wants to do the same in Nigeria

So a random Twitter poll is now the basis for data collation, curation, and predictive analysis. This just keeps getting more fascinating!

Lol you only have the old ancestral Ibadan area that are brown roofs. Other part of Ibadan are lit.

If you’re going to live in FCT you need money. FCT is expensive compared to Ibadan and you can still enjoy life at least close to as you would do in FCT, even tho FCT will be more.

Most average people live in the outskirts of the main FCT either ways coz of affordability.

Well this thread is not a random Twitter poll. It is a NGF data and you’re still doubting it.

I don’t know why you guys argue blindly. Are you saying people will rather relocate to Anambra than Ibadan?

Tell me your grouse with the data.

Even in USA, most people won’t tell you they want to willingly relocate to New York. I got a job in both NY and ATL after school and no one tell me before I chose ATL jejely because of affordability and me still getting the same kind of living.

House rent alone in New York go wound you and tax self no be play. That’s even with the fact that they pay you more in NY for the same job even in the same company. People still no wan go.

OYO state government should do everything in their power to make sure they protect the state from vampires. Oyo State is the power house of Yoruba people.

Oyo state is getting too too cosmopolitan. They need to do something so the state fate won’t end like that of Lagos.

So I agree with you that the state needs to be protected.

Enugu host NBA conference this year. NBA didn't see Oyo, ogun etc cheesy But they see Enugu. The joke is on you.

If SE is not secure according to agbadorians, they would have taken their conference to another region. But they choose Enugu.

Hotels everywhere booked in Enugu till November December! Visitors from Abuja even as well as other African countries coming to Enugu. Enugu airports very busy 247.

Hospitality industries in Enugu are cashing out steady. 247. Continue with you propaganda.


Mind you Abuja and Lagos are two places mainly hosting NBA conference. But this time, they chooses Enugu, why ? They see what you can't see.

Enugu will now be hosting NBA conference alongside lagos and Abuja.

Nobody relocates to your Oyo state.

Infact most people from Oyo , ogun, kwara relocated to Lagos more than anyone other people from other regions. That's why most of you are lagosians grin

Lol NBA 2002 conference was hosted in Ibadan. NBA will host their conference anywhere they want, that is not a determinant of better security.

Mind you Rivers state was initially scheduled to host this year conference, Enugu was an afterthought.

I can travel somewhere for an event with the government providing security and people staying in close proximity and might not necessarily live there.

If they say a state is insecure, they don’t mean people don’t live there or visit. Even during the peak of insecurity in Borno, people still live there and attend parties.

Haba! They do!! After they are done with 'yonder', they return home to a quiet, peaceful life.

They know how to enjoy their villages. Only visitors struggle and find it very harsh.

Bro, you know how to note reasonable and unreasonable Igbos here on NL? Reasonable Igbos will never be on threads like this because they are sad at what it reveals and know things are not as they should be in their region.

They accept that indeed other regions are better. Meaning Igbo must make changes. They won't come here to try and be defending what cannot be defended.

Unreasonable Igbos will be here trying to discredit information revealed, engaging in damage limitations/whataboutism plus calling colour white black like the chap saying Enugu is now some safe utopia because of one NBC conference whereas Nigerians are still not voting with their feet to relocate there or any other SE State.

Obvious the Unreasonable ones are far greater in number than folks like Soludo, Ijelespeak etal hence the current state of the SE.

Oyo - People who are mostly tired of Lagos or would rather stay somewhere close.

Osun - Yahoo boys that needs Osogbo constant electricity. grin grin grin

Ogun - Job seekers. (Majorly industry)
Re: Nigeria Top 12 Most Preferred State To Relocate To — Statisense by madridguy(m):
Two months ago I attended a program at Omi Adio, Ibadan and I am not impressed with the crowd am seeing everywhere.

SW leaders need to do something about the excessive migration into the region.

Ibadan that used to be very calm, peaceful with lesser stress has now turned to a over populated city just like Lagos.

Maybe you don’t understand migration pattern. Most NW folks will migrate to Kano/Kaduna the two major powerhouse in the region just like the central would rather prefer a not too expensive manageable powerhouse in the North central, reason Kwara probably made the list, most Kogi and Benie folks would rather try their luck in neighboring Kwara than going to start looking homeless in Abuja due to high standard of living in the city. The South west zone is simple, people are choosing yo stay in Ibadan for their own peace of mind than move over to overcrowded Lagos and Ogun state is an industrial state so folks will always move there for industrial jobs and Osun enjoy constant electricity so the pattern is quite understandable. Most south easterners move far away from home in most cases.

Lol. 2002 when we are in 2025. That's far bro. Maidugri was also peaceful in 2002.

Until NBA host their conference in maidugri, kastina, gombe even kwara. Until then.

I disagree with your third paragraph. Can FIFA FIFA host their world cup in Ukraine or Gaza ? Can Afcon host their tournament in Libya or sudan ? After all, people stay in a small proximity and doesn't live there ?

Can you go for a conference in Ukraine and stay for two weeks, after all, you don't live there ?

Enugu hosting NBA conference show how peaceful and safe Enugu and South East is.

We know how you people use your propaganda to demonize the South East. It didn't start today.

And this your statistics is false! The only two states people migrate or relocate to is only lagos and Abuja. That's why it is the melting point of every tribes and ethnicities which also makes jt a cosmopolitan cities.

I don't know what Calabar, Uyo, kwara,Oyo even gombe is doing in the list grin

You lied in your last sentence.

In the South East is the same. People in Enugu Imo and Ebonyi move to Aba, onitsha and Nnewi because those 3 cities are the commercial and industrial hub of the east.
