Family of 6 means a minimum of 3 bedroom flat. Rent in Abuja is crazy. I presume you want a good environment for your children, thus you may have to rent in the heart of Abuja. Rent alone would gulp in a million plus. What survival strategy do you have on ground? Are you into business? Have you carried out a market survey to be sure your business would thrive in Abuja and have you possibly carved a niche for your business? Good exposure boils down to the kind of school your children would enroll in and I can tell you that good schools don't come cheap. Food and other basic survival amenities are quite expensive too (though you can get foodstuffs for pretty fair prices in satellite markets and even gsrki market so I guess that is sorted). In all, just do a proper analysis before taking this leap. Possibly, the relocation should be done in a batch of two. You go first and clear clear way for your family. If you have a friend in Abuja that can accommodate you for starters, that would be good. That way, you would save up money more. 5 Likes |

Been here for some 22yrs. Getting a property here is expensive depending on your location, i'd suggest you move to one of the small localities close to town (mpape, nyanya, mararaba aren't good places to raise a fam tho) kubwa, dutse, bwari, apo and karu are nice and affordable.. Plus affordable schools too, with your 10metre try getting a land around ushafa area from the locals(400 - 600grand).. In no time, you'll be a landlord.. Run away from anything that will make you pay rent in this town.. 5 Likes |

Abuja is a family friendly state. It's decent, quiet and healthy food is very cheap. Try not to mix with people that will make you feel pressured to live above your means. Don't live inexpensive area cos school too is very expensive in such areas. Except you can find a Catholic school or Winners chapel school. If you are planning to own a business, stay around places that business thrive. Example kubwa or make inquiries and get a shop in wuse, jabi, etc Years ago, my uncle and his family moved from onitsha to Abuja. Today they are in the US. You can do all your planning between now and September when new session will start in school. Above all, pray to God and know what he thinks about this idea of yours. That's what's most important. 7 Likes |

frank33:Let your family stay in Onitsha and come to Abuja and hustle. You can keep managing and your family is well okay in Onitsha that the sacrifice as a man. When you are stable and have gotten your ground then you move them. Schools are expensive and accommodation. You need to first focus on your hustle even if na garri you chop sleep and your family can enjoy Turkey. When you stable everything go balance |

Rubbiish:man wants to give his family Abuja Life. Especially his kids, he doesn't want them to be very comfortable with the ibo language. Maybe he can't control or stop his children From way of life of onitcha people. @Op you can travel to Abuja to survey the Land first, before coming back to take your children there. Or if you think Abuja is experience you can take them to none ibo speaking city like Benin, Uyo and start a new life 1 Like |

Abeg 10million is small in Nigeria now o. Don't think it is big. By the time you rent a good 3bedroom in Abuja with 6kids and paying above 1million which includes agent and commission fee, plus you have not even started feeding the kids yet. Hmmmm....that 10million you think is big go remain 4million e go shock you My advise is that you calm down and seek for God's direction in prayer and fasting. God no dey Bleep up for that side. Except you don't pray. 2 Likes |

Re: Family Intending To Move To Abuja Needs Advice by MamaletASO: 1:48pm On May 07, 2023 |
Since you have such reasonable amount of money with you, then, you can easily survive. Come with your family as planned. But start from a low cost district such kubwa, dutse, bwari, nyanya, karu, lugbe, etc. 2 bedroom is ok for u.. Then, get a business for yourself and be serious Abt it. 2 Likes |
