What of security? Is Jos safe? I heard there's always a form of violence or another there. Is that true?

This thread is for those that intend to settle down in other states or localities in the country. Most people usually have a phobia for moving from their home or locality because they do not know what they will see when they do. This post is thus fashioned to enlighten those that haven't travelled around the country and may not be able to yet they need to know what obtains pertaining the quality of life in other places.
If you are well travelled, you may contribute to this thread by highlighting those places you think are the best places to live in this country. In your consideration, take note of cost of living, beauty of the place, population of the place, development, the government there and the indigent people that stay there. You may choose to present only one place or more than one place but make sure it is in Nigeria.

That low crime rate ish. My friends there tell me robbery is very high. I dont know what to believe now.

DesChyko:
Owerri is a great place to be.
Everything is there: Quiet, Food and Fun.

mmsen:
EITHER Calabar

The people are civil.

It's clean.

Good infrastructure.

Good golf course (another one on the way, Summit Hills).

Marina is a great place for relaxation and entertainment.

Good restaurants everywhere.

Cost of living is decent.

OR Uyo

Great infrastructure and more to come (excellent roads, underground storm drains).

Business is expanding to take advantage of the infrastructure.

Best golf course on the continent.

A selection of good relaxation spots - good restaurants, hotels and bars.

Cheap cinema (and it's clean, unlike some in Lagos).

FOREXMARTS:


Both of em got security and cultism issues. When you plan on relocating to a place to settle down consider the kind of environment your kids will be exposed to. Buy if i didn't pick ilorin i would have picked uyo. This past election is another good scale to judge security of various states with.

mmsen:


Show me a place in Nigeria that does not have 'cultism issues'/backwards cultural practices?

Isn't Ilorin a town plagued by Fulani herdsmen and their killing?

Isn't Kwara the most poverty stricken state in the south?

Calabar does not have security issues and Uyo is significantly safer than many places in Nigeria.

literarymathy:



Note: Kwara is not in the south. It is in the North Central region.

FOREXMARTS:


Security is bad, cultism is growing by the day.

tobtap:

ilorin is very peaceful and affordable,it is well planned and gat good roads. great schools and a mini-nigeria. ilorin have good night life as well and all the shopping places u will need.the residents are friendly and good measure of rain and sun.
housing is all cheap and food as well.... cheers

mmsen:


That would explain the poverty.

Is it not Yorubaland?

Or is officially part of the Caliphate?

I don't know. Just curious.

DesChyko:


Cultism is everywhere.
And I hadn't experienced security issues in Owerri.
The security network in Imo is quite effective and formidable.

FOREXMARTS:

Chief you can't say cultism is everywhere like they are all on a constant level. I have lived in no less than 10 states in this country and i can tell you some places don't even know what u talking about when u say cultism but in other states it's the order of the day. A 7 year old boy you ridicule in such cult ridden states can arrange your drilling with just one phone call. Am not exaggerating.

Lol did you say poverty? Okay let's look at it from a business perspective. Do you think these brands such as KFC and SHOPRITE will open up shop in a poverty stricken town? You think they don't have experts with years of experience who conducted feasibility studies before giving the nod to their superiors to open up shop? A town that is poverty stricken have banks at virtually every turn. Gtb has no less than 4 branches from Ibrahim taiwo to tanke i guess they store paper there and oh how is it possible that all the banks have am average of 5atm machines outside like it's some competition? I didn't give my reviews to talk any state, town or city down. Just reporting it as it is and for your info am from the same imo you talk of and have lived in owerri through ohakim's dispensation.

literarymathy:


Ilorin is a city. It's a budding one at that. However, have you seen the rest of Kwara? I work at Oro so I can categorically tell you that Kwara State is a poor state and that Ilorin is its only hope. Coming next but nowhere near is Offa.

Most of the places i have spoken of i lived there and the fewplaces i didn't live in i researched with people on ground. I think i should open a consulting Firm lol.

mmsen:


The image that you have shown of waste overflowing from the collection bins can be seen everywhere - ask people in NYC about how filthy that city is because of how refuse is left to fester in every corner of the city. Calabar is not even half as bad, the way you talk people will think that you are describing Aba or Onitsha.

Calabar is still safe and clean, cleaner than most Nigerian cities for sure.
