ii. Lagos

Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria before the government seat was moved to Abuja in 1991, but Lagos remains the commercial center of the country. It is also the pace-setter for several other states in the areas of security, commercialization and industrialization, road network, and business opportunities.

But living in Lagos can be very tedious and tough for newcomers because of the hustle and bustle of daily life. Everyone is in a haste in Lagos, and everyone seems to have come for the money. Bankers, traders, dupes, scammers, drivers, prostitutes, househelp, kidnappers, and security men – they have all come for the money in Lagos – hence the active life of the city. People don’t sleep in Lagos because there is more money to be made, and more social life to live up to.

Housing is scarce and costly in Lagos due to the overpopulation. The city boasts of 20 million people, with thousands more coming in everyday. People even live in shacks and under the bridge as well as in creeks to earn a living. Power supply is averagely stable in parts of Lagos, and water supply is good, but general cost of living is averagely very high. Security is good in Lagos even though there are pockets of kidnappings here and there. There is an international airport to anywhere in the world, and there are hotels to cater to your lodging and travel needs.

i. Abuja


Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria is every man’s dreamland. It is located in the center of the country, and the seat of power for all Nigerians. It was deliberately planned to be an architectural masterpiece and to compete with the most beautiful and standardized cities in the world. Living in Abuja can be costly because it is the government seat of Nigeria, and accommodates the wealthiest folks in the country. The biggest companies want to have a headquarter in Abuja and the best international hotels are located there. So living in Abuja can be quite expensive, even in low places like Iyanya among others. Housing is costly and food is costly because of the daily influx of people into the city.

But Abuja has the best security in the country and more or less the safest place for tourists and expatriates considering the heavy presence of policemen and soldiers in the city. Remember the president and lawmakers and federal ministers are all resident in Abuja, hence the heavy security mounted day and night there.

The hotels are of international standards, the road networks are exceptionally great, CCTV cameras mounted at every street to minimize crimes, business opportunities abound everywhere, the power supply is very stable, airports are standard, and everything is just fine here. But standard of living is high and may be difficult for low-income earners in terms of accommodation and lodging, feeding, and other things.

Whether in Nigeria or anywhere else in the world, there is always a best place to live in – in terms of security and safety, serenity, road network, air travel, job opportunities, business opportunities, availability of power supply or its alternatives, recreational facilities/hotels and lodging, and standard or cost of living among other things.

These are currently changing, but these are the 5 best Nigerian cities to live as at today, without any bias toward the others not mentioned here, they may qualify for inclusion in the next review:

"Buhari is mad. There’ll be no Nigeria again by the time I finish my testimony," Kanu fumes .
.
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), says Nigeria will collapse when he gives his testimony in court. Kanu, who spoke from the dock, said this in protest of Justice Binta Nyako’s decision to shield witnesses that would testify against him at her court.
.
.
Justice Nyako who held that names of all the prosecution witnesses who are mostly security operatives, would not be disclosed in any record of the court proceedings also said that the witnesses would be allowed to testify against the defendants behind a screen that would be provided by the court. .
.
Justice Nyako however stressed that both the defendants and their counsel would be allowed to see the witnesses who she said would enter and exit the courtroom through a special door. .
.
However, Kanu immediately rejected the court ruling, insisting that it was against the tenets of Justice and fair hearing. “I won’t stand this travesty of Justice. Buhari spoke in public, he accused me in public. I must also be allowed to stand my trial in public”, Kanu bellowed from the dock. .
.
“This is nonsense! I will give testimony before this court! By the time I finish, there will be no Nigeria. This is no Sharia court. It is a court that operates under the common law. There will be no screening of witnesses, no fake identities or fake addresses. .
.
I cannot be tried in secret. No! Nnamdi Kanu cannot be jailed in secret! They are mad. Why must I be tried in secrecy by a government that does not obey court orders. They are killing my people in public, after killing my people they want to try me in private? That person is mad. I won’t allow it," Kanu fumed.

So I just got this news, I don't know if it's true please help us verify.
#Dubai Police Declare all Nigerians in Deira wanted after a Group of Igbo Armed Robbers Robbed a Store and Stabbed to Death a Police CID Officer Who Confronted them after the Robbery !

October 8, 2016


NO MORE VISA FOR NIGERIANS TO DUBAI:

All blacks in Deira, Dubai have gone into hiding ......

There is a warrant of arrest for all Nigerians after a group highly suspected to be Igbo Nigerians stabbed a Police CID officer to death which prompted the Dubai police to launch a mass arrest of all blacks without minding their nationalities !

“A Group of 6 Nigerian Igbo boys yesterday fatally stabbed a ClD officer in Deira which is the heart of business in Dubai.

This has resulted in the massive arrest of blacks regardless of their nationalities.

Equally, a ban has been placed on the issuance of visas to Nigerians after this incidence.

The United Arab Emirates will no longer issue visas to Nigerians anymore.

Those of you who have relatives in Dubai should be warned.

The atmosphere is so hot at the moment most especially for those without permits.

Some bunch of greedy and criminally minded Nigerians have painted us black again......

If there are some good people remaining on the face of this earth, the Emiratis are some of them !

And yet we have abused their hospitality with our criminality for export ....

Why why why Nigeria ?

"Not only are we going down for this wicked action but our actions have equally affected other peaceful and law abiding people that are blacks in that country”......

*The video is the CCTV footage that captured when the NIGERIANs were robbing the store as released by the Dubai Police after their arrest !

Thats the end of it I don't really know if it's true. There is a video attach for u to see the robbery

The chicken

28-yr-old Pastor's P.A, who raped a 3-yr-old girl, says it's the devil 's handwork .
.
Bethel Samuel, said this yesterday, while confessing to Rivers State Police officers how he raped a three-year-old girl at Rumuolumeni community in Obio/Akpor LGA of the state, Vanguardngr reports
.
.
Samuel, who said he was an aide to a Pentecostal church clergyman in Port Harcourt, said he raped the girl at his boss’ house. He said: “It is stupidity that led me to sexually harass the little girl. If I will be given a second chance, I must surely be a good person.
.
.
Police and the parents of the girl should have mercy and consider what happened as an act of the devil. I am the Personal Assistant to my pastor; we were organising our crusade, going out to paste crusade posters when my pastor called me to say he forgot something at home.
.
.
He directed me to go to his house and bring some money. When I got there, I saw children playing and grabbed one of them. That was what happened. It is purely the handiwork of the devil. I don’t know what happened; all I know is that I am not happy with what is happening to me.
.
.
I am calling on the parents and the police to have mercy on me. I am promising the government and the parents that if they allow me to go free, I will never misbehave again.”
