Six Nigerians Share Whether Moving Cities Improved Their Finances

Six Nigerians Share Whether Moving Cities Improved Their Finances — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Several Nigerians share how relocating for work, safety or lower living costs changed their finances and careers. One trader returned to Enugu after Lagos expenses and debt consumed his higher sales. A photographer found stability in Uyo, where lower costs helped him open a studio. Others moved to Lagos or Abuja and eventually found better jobs after difficult beginnings. The stories also show that moving is not a guaranteed solution. A tailor who relocated from Lagos to Ogun State struggled with lower-paying customers and now regrets the decision. For many, the outcome depended on income, rent, support systems and the opportunities available in their new city.
