edited bro...thanks


about kaduna,, where do u see kaduna for this kwan

Even if the houses are given out for free once you don't have a good job to keep body and soul together then what's the point

Back to duara 2019 issa must

Where you put Edo state eeeh?

But wait op have you lived in all the cities you've just mentioned?

Ibadan and Makurdi, Yes! You could still get 20 naira taxi in Ibadan as I speak. How I wish our government were not corrupt since independence. There would have been functional rail system across Nigeria by now. Living in those cities would have been fun. Ibadan is as quiet as Banana Island. I would have just been working in Lagos but living in Ibadan. Once it's 5:30, I'd just get to the train station, awaiting the fast speed train that would take me to Ibadan in less than one hour. How I wish we gained independence only around year 2000, Nigeria would have far been better than south africa by now because those oyinbos would have used our resources to provide basic amenities for our people. They are not as greedy as we are. Those who rushed to gain independence had an ulterior motive....selfishness!

Ile ife is not bad town please

I have lived in Abeokuta, Ibadan, and Makurdi.

I will pick Ibadan for having the best best value quality of life and education to raise a family as the best city. Abeokuta has it even cheaper but no social life like in Ibadan. Makurdi has food the most loving people in the world but the education and social life is not as good as other 2 cities.

The best time I ever had in my life was the NYSC year on Makurdi thanks to the people of Gungul and Mrs Ikpeaghar a principal she had this amazing 10 year old daughter Nancyost helpful kid ever

Lubbish list.


Where's Osogbo

Abk

Please include Oshogbo, duplex for that town na 250k/annum

Which food is cheap in Makurdi?!

Food is annoyingly expensive in Makurdi oooo. Forget its slogan. Houses too are expensive.

Minna is way less expensive to stay than Makurdi.

OP, Where Is Oyo Town, U They Sleep

Cool

Lagos is cheaper than all these cities o! If you know Lagos, you can eat correct food for N50 ...if you can live in Meiran or Ayobo axis, you can get houses to rent for cheap. Lagos accommodates every pocket...millionaire or Nairania

Onitsha main market I know I still the biggest market in West Africa,

I am in Abeokuta now and you're a liar...
