Reasons Why Lifestyle in Abuja is better than Lagos

This Argument became a Trend online, i am a person who haved lived in both city for a while. so i decided to choose abuja as the best, therefore i am presenting you a few reasons why Lifestyle in Abuja is better than Lagos.

CLEANLINESS
Abuja on the average is cleaner and neater than Lagos. There are some places you will go to in Lagos and you will wonder if it is animals or human beings that reside there.

The hygiene condition is just beyond terrible in many places in Lagos.


WELCOMING NATURE OF THE INDIGENES/ EQUALITY
The indigenous people of Abuja/FCT are very much more welcoming and friendly than those of Lagos, to the extent that people hardly notice the existence of the presence of the indigenous groups of the city. Tribalism and discrimination is not an issue in Abuja. 

The Oba of Lagos threatened to drown a group of people in Lagos just because of political and tribal differences in the last Lagos state governorship elections.
Some Nigerians were even deported in their own country from Lagos back to their states of origin. Such can never be heard of in Abuja.

If you are a stranger in Lagos and you probably don't understand yoruba, you may be insulted by the yoruba speakers for that. Such can hardly happen in Abuja.

Abuja is situated in the centre of the country (middlebelt), where neither Yoruba, Hausas or Igbos can claim indigeneship, hence all are of equal status. That is why it is called the CENTRE OF UNITY. Uniting all Nigerians in equality and oneness.


HUMAN CONGESTION
Lagos is one place where human congestion is common due to the extremely high population density. Some places are so busy with people moving all about and congested that one can easily suffocate due to improper circulation of air. In such crowdy places where many people are sweating, some are coughing, e.t.c, all manners of communicable and contagious diseases could easily be contacted, typically unlike Abuja.

TRANSPORTATION COST
Transportation in Abuja is far cheaper than that of Lagos. Imagine in Lagos from a place like Ojota to Mile 2, one will spend around #300, but in Abuja #300 can take you from Karu to almost anywhere else in the city, even with a drop. Not to talk of places in the Lagos island where transportation cost is something else.

TRAFFIC 
This is one aspect that makes living in Lagos like hell. You can imagine being caught up in traffic for hours with no way out. In Lagos, many people have to wake up as early as 4 p.m to leave their houses just in order to escape traffic. It's that terrible.In Abuja, there are so many easy alternative routes to almost every place due to the very developed road network.

POLLUTION
The pollution of the atmosphere in Lagos is extremely high compared to Abuja.
So many industries and factories in Lagos which empty their toxic wastes into the atmosphere and surroundings which are very unhygienic. This means that people in Abuja breathe in purer and less toxic air than people in Lagos.

STRESSFUL LIVING
You can imagine someone who reaches his house by 11:30 p.m because of traffic and still has to wake up as early as 3:00 a.m just to hurry up to leave his house by 4:00 a.m in order to escape traffic. Such a person is very much prone to great stress and probably sickness, but such is not the case in Abuja because of the lower population, better traffic conduction and a more developed road network.

CRIMINALITY

The criminality rate in Lagos could go for one of the highest in the world.  If one manages to escape the 419ers in Lagos, you may be intercepted by the Human ritualists, Street hooligans and thugs, Yahoo yahoo boys, and all manners of negative vices of the society.
The criminality rate in Abuja is far lower compared to Lagos.


CULTURED ATTITUDE
People in Abuja on the average behave more cultured, civil, polite and enlightened than people in Lagos. Lagos is a place where any kind of crazy attitude goes, but if you come to Abuja with a crazy attitude, the way you see people living more cultured and sophisticated, you will definitely be compelled to change, just to try to belong. Abuja is definitely a better place to raise up children and a family.

BEAUTY
Abuja on the average is more beautiful than Lagos. Take the most beautiful places in Lagos and those in Abuja and compare and Abuja is surely to surpass Lagos. Take the worst places in Abuja, and they may rank on the average compared to Lagos.

Whether you choose to live in Lagos or Abuja, it’s a matter of choice!, there is flight booking everywhere But from what you can draw from the above, would you prefer a location where you can be anything you want to be or a place where you can live in luxury?
