I'm an explorer and love independence. I currently stay/live in lagos. I still love it here in lagos regardless of some downsides and discouraging opinion or reviews. I'm probably planning to be based in two states.
So obviously, the other is portharcourt. (I live in my parents apartment in lagos and want to go on to live independently).

I'm asking the following questions not necessarily because of going to be based in two states but probably for the sake of knowing as this can help me make some informed decisions should I decide to switch environment or for some other reasons. I'm also interested in knowing about other states like Calabar and Benin. But mostly Portharcourt for now.

Firstly and ultimately, I would like to know what life is like in portharcourt compared to lagos?
Secondly, what are the pros and cons of living in portharcourt compared to lagos pls? Yes, they are almost similar questions.
3. What's the cost of the likes of housing & feeding like?
4. What are the job opportunities and salary scale like compared to lagos?
5. What is the frequency of electricity compared to lagos? e.g how much of stable electricity

Lastly, what's life in rural portharcourt compared to the urban? Can you list some rural and urban places and probably their significance?

Thanks
