Lagos and Abuja are the most famous cities in Nigeria, but since Lagos is known to be the financial hub of Nigeria, everyone wants to live in Lagos and do business in Lagos.

“Due to the frustration people face in Abuja, they are not friendly,” says one man
Battabox presenter Timothy asks Nigerians on the streets in Abuja to compare the standard of living in Abuja with that of Lagos and here were some of their replies.

“For you to be in this city as a street guy, you have to be a strong man,” replies one guy

“House rent is very high here in Abuja,”replies one woman

Timothy then asked if they would rather live in Lagos than in Abuja but due to the craziness of Lagos most of them declined.

“Lagos is better than Abuja,” says one woman “Its cheaper but crazy,” she continues

“I’ll prefer Abuja because its calm,” one man says

Where would you rather live in in Nigeria? Lagos or Abuja? Gist us!

    Lagos was built by the colonials for the Yorubas, Abuja was built by Igbos
    for Nigerians.

    This people should stop complaining, these are the same people that voted
    for this Buhari and now they are complaining. Maybe next time they will be
    smart enough to not vote for someone who didn’t even finish their
    education.

    Abuja should be an expensive city because you do not want the city to be
    overpopulated like Lagos. The main reason why the capital was moved from
    Lagos to Abuja is overpopulation. So if Abuja becomes less cheaper I’m sure
    the city will become overpopulated.

    What is the cost of owning a 4 or 5 bedroom home in Abuja? Is the
    electrical issues similar to Lagos and does the government pay for school
    fees in ANY part of Nigeria?
