3 Worst Places to Retire in Nigeria- Odunze Reginald C

A retiree should not be spending his golden years worrying about bills, the major determinants of  the best cities to retire in Nigeria  is off course the cost of living but events of the recent situation has come to  place the security situation as a major determinant  when choosing retirement destinations in Nigeria. Other criteria include cost of accommodation, hospitality of the people and now recently religious tolerance.

Others include availability of natural resources, good weather and favorable climatic condition but also Strength of the job market. Retirees often tend return to the job market because their pension was not enough to carry them through their golden years, or some may have been involved in one relationship or the other that creates more avenue for expenditure.

But   a close observation indicates that the majority of the retirees wish to retire in the village because of the peace they desire and the low cost of living in those villages, but they often discover that the peace they desire  eludes them in the village, as they discover that politics, land tussle and other issues came up to scuttle  the desired peace during retirement.

But be as it may the worst places to retire in Nigeria are as follows:

The joint forces of African Union, West African forces and Nigeria Armed forces are battling to free these states from the strong grip of Boko Haram, and until they are fully liberated, these cities remain the worst to retire.
