Ota is small but populated city in ogun state. The roads are well tiled and the security is top notch. The school in this city are the best you can attend in this state. During festive periods, we get to see masquerades of different sizes and shapes. As small as the city is, it’s filled with manufacturing companies.

My city is a very busy one. People are always in a hurry. You have to be alert when you are crossing the roads. It is very close to one of the busiest cities in the world. Some people who live in my city work in that busy city. And so they have to move in and out of the city very often.

There are also religious places in my city, for example there more than ten churches and mosques in my city. For people with kids considering to move to my city there are lots of amazing schools for children.

Ota has unmotorable roads and suffers from terrible traffic. The city seems to be a long way from development. However, if you prefer a quiet lifestyle, this might be the right place for you. Also, things are quite affordable and the cost of living is low, especially when compared to nearby cities such as Lagos.

It’s not a very business friendly area. It is not very central to good hangout spots. It has great schools. It has great churches. It also has great markets. The cost of living is quite low. The roads are quite bad. It is a very close knit and quiet community.

It is a slow paced city. Nothing much happens here. There are many industries in the city because of the ample space it has. starting business as a supplier of the goods the industries produces is a bit easy. The city has two private universities and a public one. There are also many public and private secondary schools.
