I’ve lived in Lagos and I currently live in Abuja and I’ll always choose Abuja. Lagos is too chaotic for me and I feel always living on the move isn’t a healthy way to live and that’s the Lagos lifestyle. As a creator, Lagos is an ideal place to live though but Abuja too has picked up for creatives so that’s a great advantage.
Well... I feel it's a matter of time. Abuja too will soon be jam-packed with structures, industries, and people. Then Nigerians will look for another upcoming safe haven. 😂 Maybe Abuja won't be as bad as Lagos because we've got the FCT brains there.
As an Igbo boy that has grown up all my life in America, I can not get passed the water (and electricity) issues in Lagos. I understand people manage, but I just can’t. When I finally return to Nigeria, I will choose Abuja or a bustling city in Igboland. Thanks for your insight
A normal human being who cares for their health will not be waking up everyday at 4/5am to hustle, after getting home after 11 the previous day, it is not hustle & certainly not something to be proud of TBH- It all boils down to the poor city planning. All the same, I still love Lagos & I always ensure to catch enough fun anytime I visit- we don't get to have that much fun in ABJ😅 PS. I've been in Abuja for 23 Years now. We'd be glad to welcome you here🤝
@@zeeondemandow many companies do you want you work with or for? The reality is the average Lagosian does not work with all the numerous companies located there, so there is no direct benefit to them personally. There is potential to, though. I have friends in Abuja , that started in Abuja and have business contacts in Lagos. They dip into Lagos when necessary, but honestly, Abuja is "buttering their bread" as a city . I was born and raised in London and moved to Abuja in 2021. I love Abuja for the greenery, serenity and also potential. Anything the city lacks is an opportunity for someone.
Traffic in my opinion isn’t so bad you just have to know the right time to move if you a 9-5er you gonna feel it a lot tho no doubt, for water I think it’s based on your location some place don’t have water problem as for the smell my sister wear a nose mask 😂
From the enthusiasm in your voice, it's quite obvious that your views are biased towards Lagos. However, for someone like me who was born & raised in Lagos, I wouldn't recommend it as a healthy place to live long term. For peace of mind, sanity, better standard of living, cultured & well mannered people, i'll choose Abuja anyday. Also, I'm not Igbo, but quite surprised that Igbos such as yourself are still considering moving to Lagos despite the rising political bigotry in the State.
@@chincherri I don’t live in Nigeria, I only visit and I told u my experience in the highbrow area of the island. Lack of drainage, good water supply and electricity is killing it.
@akojiodinaka5042 that's cos greedy ppl keep building over waterways..no one cares about the city all they want is just to make money but its good someone who is equal to the task has come in and all that is being demolished...soon the troubles of a mega city will soon be in the past..lagos government is the most proactive in Nigeria...they listen to complaints of ppl and always want to do something about it ...unlike our leaders at the top who can't even provide a common mass transport system for their masses
Non of the above, and here's why, like Lagos, Abuja is presently run like there's no leadership. Here are some of the problems that Abujans are currently facing 1. Motorists and motorcyclists driving and riding against the direction of traffic on a one way major freeway, including on minor road ways. Unfortunately, this dangerous and reckless behavior is implicitly legal by Abuja standard of road safety 2. The roads are crowded with inexperienced and unlicensed drivers, who're engaging in very dangerous and illegal driving. No wonder there're more accidents in Abuja than elsewhere in the country. Too many unpaved roads for a Federal Capital Territory and an oil rich nation for that matter 4. Dangerously erected residential structures, erected by inexperienced, incompetent and unregulated professionals who call themselves building Engineers without the engineering qualification required to go with the tittle. Most of the apartment complex are simply cosmetics. To expantiate further, during construction, they appear as if the bricks were stacked upon each other by little toddlers. But they all end up looking fancy after they're plastered. A disaster waiting to happen. No wonder tense of building collaps takes place nationwide annually. 5. Private citizen and political figures alike, drive with a covered vehicle license plate in order to shield their identity from the public should they commit a crime while driving. Something I never saw in any developed country because it's illegal by international standard of driving. Abuja is a pretty much a classical definition of a completely failed Federal Capital Territory within a completely failed society. Considering the fact that Abuja is the seat of the federal government and it's represented by people from all across the country, including political leaders for that matter, It's shocking to see Abuja being run with typical Nigerian non chalant attitude for work. I can't help but attribute some of the ledership problems to the substandard education system dished out to citizens of Nigeria by poorly funded institutions of higher learning all across the country. My hope is that this new FCT leader would restore civility and orderliness to Abuja, so I can return there and live peacefully.
@@emmanuelattah7222 It's rather tearful than funny. Nigerians should be weeping because of the substandard, premitive, disorderly, shameful, corrupt and lawless manner in which Nigerians are running Nigeria in comparison with civilised countries of Africa, including the rest of the civilised world
@@Andices You don't need to copy others to maintain basic etiquette, civility and lawfulness in order to maintain a normal society. However, Nigeria needs to copy civilised countries both within Africa and overseas since Nigeria can't seem to act right, how much more run Nigeria in an orderly, civil and lawful manner
I was born ,breed n buttered in Lagos. I ve visited Abuja and I honestly believe that abj is better
Thanks for the feedback

Abuja don’t have a lot of companies tho more like a government/ civil servant dominated city

Abuja anytime any day, AM here already
Amazing
Port Harcourt for me

Abuja
both cities are nice but you need connection to to be successful in both cities if not owerri is better than both
Well I agree
Owerri ke??? PH abeg!!!
Abuja for better quality of life & better opportunities
But they don’t have a lot of companies there

Lagos is the place for opportunities. Abuja is mostly for NGOs and government parastatals.
There are opportunities in every of these cities
I love your skin ❤
Abuja still remains the best city in Nigeria
Abuja please ❤

Lol
The last part 😂😂😂😂🥲🙄🧐
@@zeeondemand lol

Lagos is a no go if you want to truly enjoy life.
For real?
Abuja is the best
I stay in lagos but Abuja is better
Abuja is great
Lagos is too stressful, Abuja for me everyday

Honestly i am suprised as u are! Lagos that have antagonistic hatreds and tribalism over the Igbos. I prefer Abuja any day
Is Abuja safer for Igbos? I’ve been living in the diaspora for 28 years and am very out of touch with the political climate back home
@@jbrobele there’s a huge Igbo community in Abuja. More than Yorubas.
@@PositiveVibessss so you recommend Abuja over Lagos for me as an Igbo man?
Abuja is better
Abuja
To be honest Lagos life is hard And the stress is fucking too much
Correct your English; "Lagos or Abuja, Which is the Better City to Live in?"
Thanks. done that.
Lagos is very chaotic and dirty. If not Abuja, I would rather live in ph or owerri
Welll depends on where you are, there are not a lot of opportunities in Owerri tbt
It's like u are in the ghetto of lagos..because the rich don't live in dirty environment

Are you really normal? If not you won’t write this trash about Abuja.
Lagos is going to sink in 20 years, read the CNN article about it
Your hatred for lagos stems from jealousy. Before I type further, I want to be assured that you are from Igbo. Malevolent being.
