Anambra state is the only state in Southern region that made the top ten list

Why north no go cheap to stay?where bandits n herders don almost finish full state

The ranking is based on the cost of living, not affordability.

How much is an average monthly rent in Anambra state? How much is a plot of land?

Northern states should dominate the top 10 states

Whoever complied this list deliberately snick Anambra in. Anambra with too much competition about almost everything

Affordable as in low patronage, poor purchasing power leading to good and services being rendered at lower prices

North-west Nigeria remains the most affordable region to live in, the most peaceful and the most cosmopolitan.

I am only surprised that Zamfara and Jigawa are not on the list.


Sweet, sweet Arewa!
