Relocate To UYO or CALABAR - Make One Choice, Which Would You Choose And Why? by JSayin(f): 1:00pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
Country people well done. Please I want to hear from people who have lived or traveled to either Calabar or Uyo and can give unbiased advice. If you relocated from Lagos to any of these towns for any reason, I would also appreciate it if you share your experiences. I earlier wanted to start an investment* in Calabar. I considered living costs, stability, cost of property acquisition and other things and I was fine with it. A very senior friend told me his experience in Uyo. He is very convinced my investment will do better there and I will spend less on capital expenditure. I am on the verge of taking a final decision. I have visited the two towns. I need others to share their opinion. *Just imagine any manufacturing investment that will need power supply, land and cheap labour. I don't want to reveal details about the investment here cc: Lalastica |

A little detail may really be necessary for proper advice. However, I must note to you that Uyo is an emerging investment haven. Calabar for me is a home of fun where you go to spend some of your investment proceeds on vacation. I await a little more detail on your choice of investment and I would offer you a first hand advice. Cheers. Currently in Uyo. 3 Likes |

esqtony: Thank you esqtony. I appreciate your comment. As per the investment, lets assume it is a food processing company. Sorry, I just read the part where you said 'currently in Uyo' Do you work there? How long have you lived there? |

9ja4show:Uyo as a city is bigger than Calabar as a city in size and landmass. But as a state, Crossriver is far bigger and larger than Akwa ibom state. 3 Likes |

Re: Relocate To UYO or CALABAR - Make One Choice, Which Would You Choose And Why? by 9ja4show: 9:25pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
JSayin: You should settle for any of the city; there is no much difference just that calabar is more fun than uyo but uyo is really peaceful |

Re: Relocate To UYO or CALABAR - Make One Choice, Which Would You Choose And Why? by 9ja4show: 9:31pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
JSayin: I live temporary in uyo but visit calabar alot, you can walk around in uyo at night peacefully and you will hardly find police patrol here but in calabar south its the opposite though there are peaceful place in calabar too but can't be compared to uyo. I will advice you to do buisness in uyo and enjoy yourself in calabar, uyo is a cheap city to live in; if you have a car its a plus even movie ticket is 500 at Tropicana lol 1 Like |

esqtony: We are abt bringing a fast food business to Uyo. Will such business do well in the city? |
Re: Relocate To UYO or CALABAR - Make One Choice, Which Would You Choose And Why? by coolayou(m): 11:13pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
Fast food business is strving very well in Uyo even better than Calabar. As a former staff of defunct Mr Biggs Uyo, I can tell you vividly that apart from Azikiwe branch in Phc and Railway branch in Aba, Uyo with 2 outlets was the eye of mgt of Mr Biggs because of turnover. Presently, I can mention Crunchies with 2 outlets, Tantalizers with 1 outlet, Food Affairs with 2 outlets, Kilimanjaro with 2 outlets, Pepperoni with 1 outlet, Country Style Chicken with 1 outlet, Oliver tweest with 1 outlet and a couple of others ,and they are all doing well. Uyo is heaven for investment. I am currently running a 29 room hotel facility in Uyo and I know what am saying. The choice is yours. 7 Likes |
