Try shift ur location go ekiti grin grin
Na only ekiti I knw say u go live comfortable life with 300k...
U go even build house with time 😂😂....

Osun and oyo no dey cheap like that again oo...
Just go ikole ekiti or oye ekiti...or ifaki ekiti...u go build house sef
This will be your greatest mistake. Only go there if you want to be a slave and experience backwardness in your life. Besides, despite that the state is dry, ekiti has highest cost of living in the west.

Try Ado Ekiti. Peaceful, relatively cheap and with very polite populace. And not far from Osun.

Please I need help with location to settle outside of Ogun and Lagos states. My remote job pays me 300k and I still make some gigs money as a multi instrumentalist and beat maker.

I want anywhere in Oyo state and Osun. This states are cnter to circumference of my gigs. Please help. Please state the cost of a room sefl- con rent in a medium rate area. No high end rent please.

Thank you in advance.
Just find 3 roommates in Lagos and do apartment sharing….split all bills 4 ways and have peace of mind.
Everywhere else there’s no guarantee that bandits, kidnappers or Nigeria will not happen to you.
You go find cheap rent but you no go see network.
You go find network, but you no go see Nepa.
You go find Nepa, you go dey live with illiterates.
You go see literacy you no go find good food chop.
You go find good food chop you no go see bolt, jumia or chowdeck.
You go wan comot country you must enter Lagos.
You go wan go headquarters you must enter Lagos.
The only way living outside Lagos works for you is if you weren’t brought up in Lagos.

Rent are costly in Osun too o, especially Oshogbo and Ile-ife. More costly than majority of places in Ibadan. The way things are going now, people might start moving to the core villages, especially those that don't have good jobs in the cities.
the problem were having here is agent, assuming house rent 600k/700k tp 1.2m

I will advise you to come Ibadan. It more cheaper. The best part as a person working online u need constant electricity. We have 23 hrs of light everyday in Ido, Oloje, oloro area of Ibadan. 2 bedroom flat is 500-600k for new apartment, 2 room apartment is around 300-400k

I would say you should come to Ibadan. You can even get 2 bedroom flat with good light for around 400k and that's if you don't go to area like ring road, bodija, bashorun, akobo, felele. You will surely love Ibadan because anywhere you are, you catch your cruise and the living expenses is relatively low compared to even osun.

Thank you in advance.

At least say something you're sure of. Not “Ibadan house rent cost pass Lagos rent”
Don't generalize based on little or no fact.
Generally, Ibadan house rent is cheaper compare to Lagos.
Only certain(few) areas in Ibadan is expensive.., now compare those expensive (rent) area with that numerous expensive neighborhood in Lagos (areas like Magodo, lekki, main Ajah.., etc), plus add agency fee too.

let said 60/70% new houses in Ibadan is under agent control, and no regulations for it like Lagos State
Imagine??
Normal rent 500/600k agent will be claiming 1.2m
Even more than d house rent

If you wan live fine on 300k, go places like ilesha where you can get everything cheaper. Ibadan rent is quite on the high side
Where in Ilesa please, see this one, breweries, Imo, orita iloko area, Oke OPI or where do you want to see that, keep your 5 to800k for better apartment

Na lie people earn more than that monthly, infact 90% of people earn over 200k, if not who are those buying all those houses in million million naira estates being built on a daily basis? Who are those buying all those flashy cars? Will people be singing "on your mandate we shall stand", will they be supporting apc and the current president if they are earning less than 200k monthly? No be those weh don belleful and economy is paying them that will be praising the current setup? Abegi Nigerians are rich, the average salary is 1m monthly for over 90%.

Ibadan has the cheapest cost of living in the southwest. Rent is not the only cost, you should consider food cost, transportation and business opportunities too. Ibadan ticks the box more than others.
