You're in Benin and you want to relocate to a cheaper place? What level of cheap are you talking about here?

Kaduna or Kano

Kaduna n kano

how good is Kaduna state? planing on moving to a northern state but don't know which that will be cool for hustling like Abuja... any suggestions will be highly welcomed.

Enugu state

AKWA IBOM STATE.....

'Best & cheapest' I like ur smartness sir... But my guy check am well oo, u want best n u want it to be cheap

Sambisa forest

Your village will be the cheapest place to relocate to. You will not pay rent and you may not spend to feed. You can use the 100k to start up something there.

Then you should concentrate on where you can sample your skills and not necessarily where's cheap.

If you are certified and with a skill as welding in Electrode and argon, Port Harcourt should do it for you. A lot of companies are there hiring people from your field.

With patience, you should be able to get by and get a good job within 14 months.

Like I said, you will need patience.

PH City beckons.

Good luck.

Sambisa Forest will be your best bet. I learnt there's an on going recruitment there too so no need to look for a job. Shekau will be ready to receive you with open arms

uboma:





Kaduna and Plateau are states where you can get by so easily.


What do you have against the Northern region?

Jos or kaduna might not really be a great idea because of the difficulty in obtaining a good job but I can't deny the fact that the cost of living in both states is relatively lower than what is obtainable in most Nigerian states.

If you're not typing Ibadan.. You're wrong

Ilorin kwara state

Very cheap dude, actually served there. Peaceful and cheap AF!!!
Miss Ilorin like no man's biz.

op, try Ibadan, Ife or Osogbo, travel to any of your choice, book a night at cheap hotels around, get a student fellowship of your choice or walk into a bank in student environment, ask for areas you can easily get accomodation around with cost and facilities, trust me, you should get one in few hours.
Considering your job, power supply is more steady in oshogbo than other areas, but you might get turnover more at Ibadan due to population.

Oyo state

You dey camp abi?

adekhingz:
Come to Lagos. Iyana-ipaja Makoko, Oshodi, Ikeja, or Agege e.t.c, Rent a room for 36k per annum, buy food stuffs from the market, get a job close by (walkable distance). cool

We are talking about decent accommodation and u are here talking abt 36K. EXCEPT IN AYOBO AND ISHEFU SIDE AND NA FACE ME I FACE U BE THAT

1realBobby:

wow.. thanks for this info... really insightful..

I actually had Ibadan, osun or ondo in mind before... But the problem with relocating is actually having a place to stay before you get an accommodation of your own..

how difficult is it to get an apartment in Ibadan? because some parts of nigeria, before you get an apartment you must have exhausted all the spare cash on you already...

lol seems u want ready made. U shud av someone u knw in any of the area else lodg in a guest house use a day or two to scout in d areas mentioned to u. The pain is u cant have it any other way xept otherwise

1realBobby:


hmm... lokoja..never came to mind. But how cheap is accommodation there and cost of living?



BTW, how do I get on FP?? so more guys can assist...
thanks...

Don't come to Lokoja o. Except you don arrange well. Nothing dey happen for there o. Things are very expensive. Accommodation na die. Don't say I didn't tell you o

chai, which abak abeg?
I lived around Manta in Abak, the house rent then(2012/13) was 200k, 3b/flat, a room self con was 35k, single room 24k
With Buhari economy, abeg no just go there abeg.

Low cost of living is not the only positive thing about Ibadan, live is generally easier, hardly you can experience road regulatory agencies(police,road safety,etc.) harrassments, more or less a free town', the people are accomodating, best telecommunication networks city: 3G/4G effective signals, in fact, some people who do a lot internet businesses, because of this reason,move in there

You should go where the jobs are and not just where the cost of living is low. Else you will soon find yourself poorer than you started out. For example, life is cheap in Kebbi and you can probably rent a flat there for 100k, but do you really want to go there ?
Life is hard, but sometimes you got to bear the pain and soak up the pressure. That's why you're a man.
Gold is molded by fire. Think about it.
I'm in Benin. You can PM me
I wish you luck.

But seriously food stuff is extremely cheap up here in the north. I didnt know that for 6 years i was just dasing my salary to market women in PHC.

Northern Nigeria: kano,jigawa,kaduna,jos,gombe cheap
Northern Nigeria: sokoto,zamfara, kebbi, bauchi moderate
Northern Nigeria: Yobe, Borno, Adamawa expensive
Abuja super expensive
