If you are looking for a place to live and have a rest of mind i think some part of Osun state will be ideal... Nature is still intact in some part and it has not been degraded by deforestion and the likes... Life is just so simple and the people are super-friendly... It's just that the place hasn't develop much for business to Flourish... |

I will recommend Ibadan. Cheap city, proximity to Lagos, increasing business potentials among others. BTW, Uyo is just an over-rated city. Apart from the modern infrastructures, the few entertainment outlets, there is nothing else of interest here. |

literarymathy: Just relocated from Ph to ilorin after 6 months of research and consultations looking for the perfect environment to start a family and retire a farmer. I had calabar, eket, uyo, asaba, ijebu ode, ile ife and makurdi in mind and after intensive research and consultations with residents i settled for ilorin. Notice none of the places i listed are mega cities yes cos i know myself, not a fan of urban noise, over populated places, i like me some peace and quiet without sacrificing those things i would get in mega cities like ph, Kano and Lagos. Came to Kwara state last year for a one year feasibility study and i must tell you so far i have no regrets. Enough sites to start a farm, religious tolerance, good location on the Nigerian map (not far north, not down south), close to the to the capital Abuja, security is good, I no dey find work so can't say much about that, that's the beauty of fx trading but it's pretty much a civil servant state tho, well am still researching. 1 Like |

demola300: Lol no do ohhh, the same ph i gotten sick off. Ph got loads of stress and security issues, values are terrible. Setting up a business there is a herculean task because you will settle and get sick of settling communities. Imagine someone asking you to settle him before you can develop his community. You want to instal free borehole for them you must settle. No call ph abeg. 2 Likes |

pastorKosiso: And when cult riot starts? Or when the bad eggs of unical go into town to rob our kidnap? What about the rival gang crises that's popular in Marian the popular area in calabar. I have lived there for more than a year so bros check ur analysis well. Let me see, i dropped calabar and uyo because of cultism, dropped ijebu because of power and infrastructure, dropped benue state because of infrastructure, flooding and HIV(no disrespect intended), dropped didn't have anyone on ground in Asaba, dropped Enugu because of it's proximity to the hot spots, cultism and security (trust me i did my homework). Had no complains about Kwara except for lack of jobs and like i said before i work online so i can live anywhere as long as there is internet and gtb to withdraw my cash. Ilorin got almost all you can ask for in most most Nigerian cities for less. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

mmsen: 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. 1 Like |

FOREXMARTS: 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. 1 Like |

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

tobtap: I agree with you 100%. I have been on ground since December and i confirm all you just said. There are schools, high institutions, night Life, Airforce base, naval base, airport, stadium, a huge mall with poplar brands like KFC, SHOPRITE to name a few, a fly over bridge, cinema,hospitals, this is the much i have seen so far. Visited offa too. |

mmsen: It is part of the caliphate. It has an emirate also. Ilorin emirate with about two emirs in the state. Though there are more yorubas in the state, there's also the Nupe, Fulani and Baruba people who are there. The yorubas there are mostly of Fulani origin though. They are the descendents of Shehu Alimi, a relation (son I think) of Uthman Dan Fodio, the first sultan of sokoto. They learnt yoruba through the interpolation of Afonja, the then Aare-Ona-Kakanfo of Oyo empire and his army. Apart from this set of yorubas, we also have the Igbomina and Ekiti yorubas occupying Kwara south which is close to Ekiti and Osun states. 1 Like |

DesChyko: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. |
Re: Tell Us The Best Places To Live In Nigeria And Why by DesChyko: 9:56pm On Apr 26, 2015 |
FOREXMARTS: I have a very good knowledge about how Cultism functions in Imo State. For the OP's stated intentions, Cultism would be the least of one's concerns when planning to settle in Imo because they are kiddies' affair here, mostly exists in rural parts of Imo and the institutions of the state. Perhaps, the cost of living there would be the only viable problem I forsee. |
Re: Tell Us The Best Places To Live In Nigeria And Why by FOREXMARTS: 9:58pm On Apr 26, 2015 |
mmsen: 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 I lived in cali, IBB way to be precise. 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. 2 Likes |

FOREXMARTS: 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. |
Re: Tell Us The Best Places To Live In Nigeria And Why by FOREXMARTS: 10:09pm On Apr 26, 2015 |
literarymathy: Oga don't digress, the op said "best place" and not "best state". Am referring to Towns, cities and not a state. All states have under developed Arras outside the capital. Am simply referring to the word "place"and not the state as a whole. Even in American state you have the country side so let's not mix it up, we are talking places and not poor or rich states. |
