Lagos state..... Ajegunle precisely

But seriously IMO, this thread is kinda baseless.

Raise your child wherever you find yourself. The family value will determine how well brought up your child would be and not the geographical location.

You just showed why your name is master. You captured my mind exactly.

Aba...Abia State.

Lagos it is, my younger brother who is just 20 is sharp that I envy him everyday, I grew up in both edo and delta and my sharpness dey learn for where my little Bro dey. I concede to Lagos hands down, because growing a child has to be all round and not just morals because if it's only morals the child might grow up poor financially. #my2cents

You chose not to be sharp. People get sharp even in land of jews like ekiti and ondo.

IBADAN

Ur children will end up speaking English with plenty Yoruba accent. Eg ause (House), Height (eight), heg (egg), Sampion (Champion), Selsi (Chelsea), Harsena (Arsenal), Shursh (Church), Telifison, (Television), yeeboe(Igbo)

Ile awusa

While it's true that some states MAY NOT be ideal for a child's development, it's also true that most state capitals in Nigeria would enhance a child's development. It all depends on the niche/microhabitat in which a child finds him/herself I.e. the home. A child could be raised in Ado Ekiti, Lokoja or Abakaliki and yet would be many times better than the ones raised in Lagos, Abuja or port Harcourt. I think some parents would also not prefer these cosmopolitans because
of the negative societal influences on children.
In my own submission, I'll suggest Ibadan, Abeokuta, Osogbo, Ilorin, Kaduna, Akure, Jos, Abuja, Uyo, enugu, calabar among others.

Lagos takes the lead! the sharpness lagos instills in a child ehn is epic. Just a few weeks ago, my friend and I entered a "one chance" bus in enugu....after we had journeyed for a while....my lasgidi brain picked up a few fishy things...I signaled to my friend. That's how we alighted sharpaly...

Viva Lagos!

For where?


Lagos children are raised in fear. They are usually locked up in houses with high fence, located inside an estate with multiple gates and security posts. They are made to believe everyone out there is about to hurt them. They attend schools that have no playgrounds and return to lonely homes .


Visit Owerri and see where children have some level of socialization freedom.

Lagos
Lagos
Lagos
Lagos and


















Lagos. It offers the child opportunity to be the best he/she can be.
It gives the child the mind of surviving in any condition and once a soldier always a soldier.

I will rather go for towns than states. I prefer Ondo, Akure, Ibadan, Lagos Mainland and Abeokuta.

Well if you want your kids well educated with a cross cultural reference... and an not talking only four walled education,sincere honest and respectful, with prospects of a bright future choose ZARIA.

BENUE STATE,

jos
I was raised in jos and i cherish every single memory of my childhood. I just have to raise my kids in jos. fantastic weather, great schools, serene environment and so much fun.

Except 4d insecurity ish. in kd i'd say kaduna is d best -IM0

insurgency and crises can never end in the north. The northerner's syndrom for fighting is too high. Since the birth of naija 70% riot takes place there. Fighting is in there blood, peace is a scarce commodity there. Be it tribal, religion e.t.c

Imo state of mind

I don't think the state matters much as the values you instill on the kids

Nice....Seems you're from the north..

I'm not a Northerner but i grew up in the north

Lagos or ogun

I'm currently living in Lagos and I must say Lagos is not a good place to raise a child.

Lagos state. Your child would thank you when grown up

Nairaland State!

I think Abuja and Akwa Ibom. . Abuja is a big busy city, growing up in Abuja should smarten a kid up and Akwa Ibom - Uyo is a calm, peaceful, gentle city- growing up in Uyo should make your kids calm and gentle at least. However, I believe its the parents and those who live with the kids that can raise the kids properly or raise them badly.

Anywhere in Nigeria is good but if you realy want your kid to grow and successfully develop in every aspect Lagos is the only option. We may try to deny it but those grown outside Lagos are always envious of those born and brought up in Lagos

I maybe wrong though

even that can't stop me from living in and raising my kids in jos. I just so much love that town. u definitely won't understand. people who have stayed in jos would know where I'm coming from.
the town too sweet

Wittylens:



The Sun / Heat In those states are too much.... Besides , I don't want my children to grow up in the midst of Abokis

lol... Illiterate

Ibadan for sure! Though I don't live there but that place makes a whole lot of sense. Second choice would be Ilorin.

papiforreal:



lol... Illiterate

Who?

Opt depends,for me ENUGU is the best, at least guarantee ,your child would have good manner, quiet, good education ,wouldn't be corrupt(sexually and morally )will grow up in a good environment and nice atmosphere,am in lagos but i won't train my children here.enugu or better send them abroad if I have the money, ENUGU is the best you can ask ngozi okonji iweala,chimamanda ngozi edechie,Pete edechie and many more.

Anambra state
