First and foremost, it is worthwhile making you know that Lagos is the most important state in the country. In fact, the state was formerly the capital of the country. It is highly industrialized and has the biggest economy among states in the country.

The state is primarily a commercial place, rather than a residential area. Owing to this, the cost of living in the state is high. However, we have a good number of people who live in the state because they can afford to.

The cost of feeding is 3 — 5 times that of living in some other states.

 

Cost of shelter is also a multiple of that of other states. Another aspect that should not be ignored is transportation. Transportation in Lagos is also expensive, and anyone planning to move the state should take this into consideration.

Not So Awkward
