You likely live outskirts, you no dey inside town. Who told you that Jabi, Life Camp and Wuye are for the so-called middle class? Imagine lumping these areas with the likes of Nyanya and Dutse, lol.
Anyone that can comfortably rent house in kubwa can also live in Jabi and life camp.

Happy Sunday guys, so I saw his topic https://www.nairaland.com/7792709/want-survive-lagos-17-things hit front page and I decided to recreate it for Abuja my city.

1. Know the different between Galadima and Galadimawa, they sound alike but they are very far apart from each other more than 30 minutes drive, so if you mistake Galadima for Galadimawa, u go spend all your money paying transport that day be that 😅



Nice2023:
U didn't tell them Gwagwa and Gwagwalada aren't the same.


Tell them Abuja stopped at Nyanya.

That Mararaba is not in Abuja....it is in Nasarawa state.

In addition, Jahi is different from Jabi.

Make Dem no carry you go where you no know.

Abuja is beautiful. Jabi lake is the place to be at weekends. But don't stay late if you can't fight off crime especially if you are a lady. Many has been kidnapped or raped. More us to be done on security at night in Abuja. May we not be unfortunate, amen.

Amen oh

Happy Sunday guys, so I saw his topic https://www.nairaland.com/7792709/want-survive-lagos-17-things hit front page and I decided to recreate it for Abuja my city.

1. Know the different between Galadima and Galadimawa, they sound alike but they are very far apart from each other more than 30 minutes drive, so if you mistake Galadima for Galadimawa, u go spend all your money paying transport that day be that 😅.

2. Know the different between Jabi and Jahi, the distance between the two places no be
Be here and could easily be mistake for each other.

3. If you want to see the real beauty of Abuja, try driving inside town at night, say 2am, the peacefulness and beauty of Abuja will wow you


4. If you are driving, maybe taxi or your personal car, don't ever stop at Area 1 bridge for either dropping a passenger or picking up a friend, Agbero in the present of Police go force you pay more than 30k fine.

5. Don't buy food items inside town, ifs way expensive, rather take a bus from town to Mararaba orange market and get your food stuff from town there, there food items are relatively cheap, mostly farmers brings things there for sale.

6. Don't give your money to people that dress corporate with a crapy story of coming for an interview and don't have transport to go back home, the are lazy ass corporate beggars.

7. While going to mararaba, don't dress corporate, wear your ripped jeans and your head warmer and over seize shirt, this will keep area boys of you, if you dress corporate, and speak queens English when accosted them go obtain you real bad, them go nearly kidnap u self 😂😂.

8. While watching a game in a viewing center, if you notice the club you support isn't having much fans in the center, don't celebrate too much when your club is winning, the end result no dey funny 😂


9. Abuja has Area 1, 2, 3, no area 4, no area 5, no area 6 then Area 7, area 8, no area 9, then area 10, and area 11, Nah there e end, most fraudsters would send a novice that just came into Abuja to come for an interview in an existing address in Area where doesn't exist, like area 4 or 5, be wise.

10. If you ever gets missing, just find your way to wuse begger bridge or area 1 bridge, u can get a vehicle going anywhere in Abuja from there, even to Jericho self 😂

11. Don't drag with conductor if you are going to work, them go fight you spoil your cloths and ruin your day, always be friendly with them, most of them are nice until u want to pick up quarrel, just leave them, they got nothing to loose.

12. Don't use the pedestrian bridges at night Especially wuye finance bridge or area 3 bridges, Armed robbers would threaten to throw u off the bridge if u don't give them your belongings.

13. Don't engage in conversation while on transit with other unknown passengers, nah so them dey use kidnap people or steal their phones and ATM without them noticing, those people are pro in pick pocketing.

14. While dragging to enter a bus, be weary of your belongings, most people use the opportunity of people struggling to enter the bus to pick pocket you.

15. Don't argue politics in a newspaper stand or show your support for a preferred candidate that the majority don't like, you fit carry broken head or bloody nose go, no one is happy 😂.

16. Don't buy bathing soap, toothpast from Aboki, it's most likely not the original one, there Is a place that they make fake ones in Abuja that looks almost the same. And don't buy wine from a local shop, go to the wine shop instead.

17. Make sure you visit the zoo, Jabi lake mall, and explore the city, Abuja is deem beautiful, we have roof top coffee shops and roof top bush bars and swimming pools that will make u question if you are still in Nigeria, Abuja is a very sweet place just have money and you go ball like say u dey yankee 😇

Lastly know the different between Gwagwalada and Gwagwa, the distance from two different place far no be small from each other grin

Happy Sunday and enjoy your day guys.

Abeg take to the permanent site for wider view
Insightful.
Nice thread.

You mean kidnappings and rapes occur around the serene Jabu lake area at night?
Gotta keep that in mind if I ever visit that place.

But the police and Intelligence agencies are not doing enough to deploy spy drones to monitor strategic areas that have recorded unusual criminal activities.

Depriest2020:
In absence of area 4, 5 & 6, there's zone 4, 5 & 6.

If you're very wealthy Maitama, Gwarimpa, Asokoro, Jahi, Zone 4, Zone 5, Zone 6, Central Area, Ministers Hill, Mabushi, Apo and many more are for you.

If you fall to the middle class Jabi, life camp, Lugbe, Kubwa, gwagwalada, karu, Nyanya, Karshi, wuye, Dei-Dei saburi, Bwari, kwali, Dutse and more are for you.

If you dey manage life Karmo, gwagwa, idu, iddo, Anagada, Tungan maje, zuba and many more for you.
Insightful.
