However, she explained that the cost of living in both locations was what worried her. She said the difference in the cost of living had left her confused about which option to choose.
According to her, one factor influencing her consideration of Lagos is the opportunity to network and meet influential people who could open doors to future opportunities. She, however, noticed the lower rent in Ondo state compared to Lagos. She said she could easily secure a rental of N100,000 in Ondo, which cannot be said in Lagos.

Stuck on which offer to accept, the lady, who is based in Osun state, decided to ask X users.
"I’m torn between choosing Ondo State or Lagos State for my internship.
I feel like in Lagos I might meet rich, well-connected people who could connect me to opportunities.
The salary is N200k in Ondo and N200k in Lagos, but rent in Ondo is around N100k
What do you guys think?🤔"
Reactions as lady seeks advice on job offers
Many social media users pointed out that while the salary is the same in both states, the cost of living in Lagos is generally higher compared to Ondo. However, some X users advised her to consider long-term career growth and networking opportunities that Lagos may provide.
Some of the comments are below.
@Oluwadarra commented:
"I schooled in Akure. I will advice you to stay in Ondo only if you want to settle down there , but if you are still going to come back to Lagos there is no point staying in Ondo. After your intern in Lagos you will easily settle down. Coming back from ondo to settle down in Lagos will be the hardest sh!t for you. Because it's going to look like your life is starting again."
