Whats Abuja Like For A Living? Is Relocation To Nigeria Advisable? Abuja?

Dnt knw about business, but its a beautiful, stressfree but xpensive place to live in, Trust me u'll simply love the city.Beauriful n all, no traffic, good roads etc,

I stay in Abuja, truly speaking when you talk of security, Abuja provides you with the best in Nigeria inluding other social amenities that will make your life comfortable.
Though things are generally expensive here and some times the weather could be some how hot like as at the moment.
If you are considering relocating to Abuja, you should arrange for a comfortable accommodation preferrably getting your own house in places like Maitama District, Asokoro, Wuse II and the high brow magnificient Gwarinpa Estate try to avoid renting an aprtment.
Business wise, those that are into property developing and other land related business are having a field day here.
Again try to hook yourself in the Government will be a abig plus for you.
Good luck as God directs you. you can either mail me on nandomkennedy@yahoo.com or call me on 08034247939. if you need more clarification, but if you are ok with this then no need.

my brother, thanx alot for the response, of course you know that plateau people have some unique names that is easy to identify us.
I am actually from plateau and though we share the same names with langtang people where you served, am from Mangu side.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Concerning your question? well FHA (federal housing authority)houses in Gwarinpa costs from fifteen million upward. some  where within that range.
Good luck once more as God leads you. Be blessed.

That's great my bro, of course that's where i come from.
Relocating to Naija is good and being around to put things in place is better at least before relocating finally.
I welcome you fome for home sweet home.
cheers!!!!

Abuja is a beautiful place. Fell in love with the plaace  right from the very first time, that I have refused to migrate back to the South!

Abuja is a very good place 2 live in if u'v got d cash.u'v got light,water,security nd good roads bt my brother if u want 2 buy a house in maitama,asokoro u beta b boxd up because these houses cost millions o.but gudluck u'l njoy ur stay in abj

Abuja is beautiful. I agree.

If you are relocating, and food is expensive in Abuja. Why don't you go to neighbouring places like Suleja market, buy your foodstuffs for 3 months and save money that way.

Alternatively, go to wholesalers in the UK or US or wherever you reside. Buy a VAN, stock it up with foodstuffs that, will expire in 1 year's time and bring them back to Abuja. Sell the VAN. You had free shipping for your foodstuffs. ABI KE.

Also, you don't have to buy in Asokoro, Maitama, where properties cost hundreds of millions. Go to places like Lugbe (5 minutes from the airport), Suncity, Jabi, and other places outside the city centre. Land and properties are cheap there. The roads are excellent and there is no traffic whatsoever. So, you can get to where you are going in no time.

There is no place like home.

if you want to stay in Gwarinpa,it better be Gwarinpa estate for security reasons.
personally,i'll advice you to rent a year apartment in Maitama or Asokoro,from where you can get acquainted with people and know whats going on in Abuja before you purchase your own house.

self contained apartment-from 350,000per year,if you are lucky you can get one for 250,000-300,000.
one bedroom flat-from 450,000 if you are lucky,you can get one for 350,000
i prefer maitama to asokoro based on availability of drop(cab)

Calabar is better looking and more affordable. It also has a fast up and coming tourist industry in which will provide you with plenty of opportunities  for a good job and or to start your own lucrative business at an affordable price. Cross Rivers State, where Calabar is located, is quickly becoming the Florida of Nigeria. Humm, I even hear that plans are on the way to begin having cruise lines operate out of there as soon as the Nigerian Navy and the state of Cross River themselves can assure sufficient maritime security for them while in Nigerian waters.

One major selling point of the cruise operations will primarily target African-Americans and other diaspora blacks in the Americas to sale the sea paths in which many of their ancestors may have journeyed in the bellies of slave ships from Eastern Nigeria to the Americas. Calabar was a major slaving port during that time, and is the only Nigerian port town to have preserved the relics of that day.
