Thank you so much. Do you think 100k monthly will be enough for feeding and other basic stuffs?. I have my own car and housing is not too be included because it is taken care of already.

While things might be a bit more expensive now, living costs will still most likely be way lower than many other towns and cities.
I grew up there and I must say that its a lovely town, I heard transport is no longer as cheap relative to past years. Houses are not expensive too.

After living in the north you will realise it will be difficult for you to survive in any other part of Nigeria


My advice don't settle in the north first

Hi all,

Please I need pointers on how expensive it is to live comfortably in Oshogbo for a family of 3 (Man, woman and a 10 yrs old child).

Planning relocating from Kaduna to Oshogo but I want to know how expensive the city is so I can make adequate preparations.

Thank for the anticipated responses.

Cost of living in Oshogbo is very cheap. One of the cheapest state capital to live in.

Although, I left Oshogbo in 2015 after my NYSC but I must say, I was living fine and well with my N19,800.
Rented a decent room with it and cost of feeding too was very cheap. I heard transport is a bit expensive now cuz then, with just N50, you would tour the entire Oshogbo (one-way) unlike what we have here in Lagos.

Coming from Kaduna won't make much difference with your forecast. Whatever your income is in Kaduna would be enough to take care of you and your family in Oshogbo. Use that as a guide.

Let me also add that Oshogbo has steady power supply! Dem too dey get light, abegi!

100k is too much to spend monthly for 3 of you. Osogbo is not too expensive to stay like Kd.
I left Kd to Osogbo in 2017 and it has been enjoyable all along.
Am very sure you will be adequately okay since housing is not a problems for you.
Things are relatively okay here I can assure you it is my home town.
You will be highly welcome because Osogbo is highly accommodating to all different type of people.

Osogbo nah cool state

Osogbo is not as cheap as they paint it on social media again o. I am also planning to relocate to Osogbo from Ado Ekiti, One of the reason for relocating is the expensive life in Ado Ekiti despite the fact that state is relatively small. Then, i keep hearing Osogbo is cheaper to stay bla bla bla.... Throughout last week i was in Osogbo to scan through the environment and also to scout for 2 bedroom apartment. I was stunned to realized that there is no much difference with Osogbo and where i am coming from.

Starting from the house agents, those idiots are vampire, i met a lot of them that will demand 2k for inspection and still take you to a rubbish house, worst of them is the one i met on Jiji, he demanded for 2k form fee, 1k inspection fee, 500 for the person bringing key to the apartment and also the person's transport fee and the apartment itself is 300k total package is 380k, due to my desperation to secure the apartment in order to plan another thing, i nodded in agreement. Lo and behold, we got to the said 300k apartment i nearly vomited, myself and my wife didnt spent 5 secs before we left the building. then he started asking for the nonsense transport and money for bringing key and i refused, i told him i can never pay after seeing where he took us, it almost caused a scene. the idiot was swearing as he left.

After all my experience with these vampires, i decided to search by myself, i spent a lot on bike and still cannot find any decent one until last Saturday when i saw one around Ilesha garage, it is the first available one that is close to what we want, i paid 300k for the house rent and 50k for caution and agreement ish. I will be moving from Ado to Osogbo probably next weekend because the house is a new one and it remain painting and then general cleaning.... the bottom line remains that even house rent is not cheap in Osogbo, you can never find a decent 2 bedroom for less than 300k, anything below that will be a old house in a very rough area with old facilities.

These experience already send signal that it is not as cheap as what i knew Osogbo to be.... 3 years ago you will board korope for N500, npow any drop is N100..... etc
