If you'll have the chance you wouldn't hesitate moving to Abuja.

Abuja is unproductive and live off from other regions' sweat without giving back to the people but the rich, political class, the connected and prostitutes... though it has a more serene environment. It's very expensive for the majority

Lagos is highly productive with reasonable opportunities for both the rich and poor. However, it's dirty, unhealthy and stressful for it's inhabitants mostly as a result of it's population which makes it difficult for the government to manage.

Lagos is good for people struggling to survive. Abuja is good for the rich

But personally, if I become financially comfortable, I'll prefer the East especially Enugu or Owerri to have peace and enjoy my God given fruits of labour... EOD

What jobs are there in Abuja aside government and so called uniform jobs which they all have to warm a politician bed to secure. More than 70% of ladies especially singles are call girls.. They won't tell you this.
Economic survival in Abuja is harder.. No reasonable money bringing hustles unlike Lagos here and that's why starting off life is difficult more for men in Abuja but very easy for flirty woman of cheap virtues who can sleep with all money bags

I really don't get why people say the above.

There are many types of jobs in Abuja not just politics. Do establishments not have employees? Do the embassies, hotels, restaurants, real estate/ construction company's not have employees and owners? What about the markets, the banks? What about catering? The only Lagos specific jobs are those that are in some head quarters because they are located there, the wharfs and businesses to do with the ports. All other businesses are in both Lagos and Abuja so have people both owning and employed there.

We all know ashawos exist in both Lagos and Abuja.

There are major negatives that impact the lives of Lagosians negatively that just don't exist in Abj like the daily 'agbero toll' heaped on the heads of the poor, the frustrating traffic that affects both rich and poor. The noise pollution and general bad air quality. Let alone the aggressive and oppressive nature of Lagos and many of its people.

The main complaint Lagosions have about Abj is so called boredom or calmness. Never the aspects above that I pointed out about Lagos.

2. Abuja has lots of sugar mummy while Lagos has lots of olosho/harlot.
3. Sugar daddy full fct while broken ass nigga plenty for lasgidi.
4. Abuja life is bored while Lagos is lively
5. Abuja runs the affairs of the nation while Lagos run the commercial aspects.
6. Life in Abuja is cost but lagos life is affordable if u don't pass your boundary.
7. Political connection in Abuja but business connection in Lagos.
8. Abuja brought up pikin are dull but Lagos pikin are osa parara (too sharp).

I was born in Lagos but I'm glad I never grew up there. Abuja anytime any day... And who says I can't survive anywhere else in the world? Is it even by that one? undecided

Mscheew. Lazy youths drawing up differences out of boredom.
The truth is Abuja is the better option and hence the reason it was made FCT. Most Lagosians are ignorant: they are born in Lagos, raised in Lagos and will die in Lagos, so everything in their lives revolve around Lagos.

I've stayed in Lagos, PHC and Abuja and truly prefer PHC to LAG because the traffic can give someone heart attack. Just the thought of passing through Lagos during a journey gives me HBP.
Overall I prefer ABJ though -- very cool, calm and organized city.

See your lie. "Passing through Lagos during a journey" lagos that is at the western edge of Nigeria and completely surrounded by Ogun. Where could be travelling from or to that you pass through Lagos?

I have lived in Abuja, I currently live in Lagos. All she has said are very true. Let me just pick one of the points.

Police officers in Abuja are very respectful because they don't know who is who based on say government officials full there.

In Lagos, they don't care who you be until you show them who you are.

Overall, biko I love my Lagos!

See who's asking.
Someone who has no idea of his ancestry, has no explanation of his creation or existence, has no achievements today and no hope for the future.

Yorubas built the Oyo empire, Binis built the Benin Kingdom, Hausas built the Kanem-Borno empire. Mention a single civilisation built by your fathers.

And what has become of you with the relics of your empire ?

Is there any milestone exclusively preserved of and your empire that Igbo haven't attained?

What useless empire ?

Point of correction, Abuja is not a slum. Except the only part of Abuja u have been to is the bwari, nyanya and kuje areas.

cool

The checklist for measuring satisfaction or maximum utility differs.

Abuja:
- Serene
- Could be lethargic (absolute state of Torpor from the Head of State to Legislators to Civil Servants and inadvertently Private Businesses)
- Very good roads at CBD and environs
- Hinterlands, Suburbs and Rural areas are as dense and environmentally unfriendly as Lagos
- Could have tough climatic conditions at certain times of the year
- Not very flexible
- Low density at CBD but quite high at Rural areas
- Generally peaceful
- Affordable and Clean transportation
- Heavily dependent on Government activities
- Fairly good social life


Lagos
- Certain areas are very Urbane
- Hectic transportation predominantly on the mainland
- Land of endless possibilities and opportunities
- Fast paced. Activates your determination for success and excellence
- Very prone to pollution
- Evolves daily
- Fairly good climatic conditions except at the peak of rainy season
- Amazing social life
- Better potential for professional work experience
- Medium crime rate
- Great potentials for SMEs
- Very densely populated

I have lived in both cities. My preference is for Lagos. Formative years' experience is a key criterion to determine the factors that define preference.

Live in Lekki, work in Victoria Island or Ikoyi or live and work in close proximity on the Mainland. Be financially stable and the ills of living in Lagos can be cushioned to a large degree.

I love Lagos smiley smiley

Did u say Medium crime rate in lagos?, that means nothing like crime exist in Abuja then.

The average lagosian is angry by default. You'll only notice it once you've lived outside Lagos for a while. Truth be told, asides the commerce in Lagos, most people would remain or prefer other more serene cities. Hunger is the major driving force that retains people in Lagos. It is easier to make a living in Lagos due to the commercial nature.

Abuja is just the place to stay if u want peace of mind.

A full goat averagely costs 8k at Orange market in Karu, Abuja.

But go and prize a small goat in Lagos and see!.

In terms of food stuffs Abuja is a thousand times better than Lagos.

Be smart. My company's address online has both abuja and lagos office. But I live in jos.

Truth is I hate both cities.

Jos infrastructurally cannot be compared to Abuja. Jos is more like bauchi.

A certain Abuja based lady identified as Bibian Chinenye Pius-Urum has taken to to Facebook to give a narration on which city is better between the nation's capital Abuja and Lagos. According to her argument, Abuja should never be compared to Lagos as the standard of living is extremely higher in the capital city.

I don't think I can live in Lagos again after living there for 3 and half yrs . Lagos is only good 4 those living close to their bizness or work places. Only d traffic can cut ur lifespan into two.

Carlmax:


Over 3 years in Lagos and I still wonder what i'm still doing here. Maybe I am enslaved by my Job and the fear of not earning much in other parts of the country. Lagosians are always angry, the stress is just too much.
Yes, Lagos pays higher but the quality of life there and rent/living expenses also diminishes it. People coming home as late as 11pm and still leave their house as early as 4am, only to be stuck in traffic for several hours is certainly a Hobbesian way of life. I usually see crowd of people at bus stops waiting for bus to take them to work when it's still dark in the morning. The only thing that would save Lagos and save it's people from such a beleaguered lifestyle is to decentralise the airports and seaports, send the oil companies to the Niger Delta cities, force the embassies to open consular offices in other regions etc.
