There are events and there are numerous social events happening in Abuja almost on a day to day basis although Abuja is primarily an Administrative and somewhat boring city rather than a commercial or industrial city like Lagos. However there are a few events that happen in Abuja that are worth knowing because of the impact they have on the capital city whenever they’re held. Here are 6 popular Abuja Events to take note of:

Designers Market Place (DMP)

This is one of the most popular social events that happens on the first Saturdays of every month at the popular city park located in Wuse 2. The DMP as it is more popularly called is a small business and lifestyle event that enables small lifestyle related businesses in Abuja showcase their products and services to an estimated 5,000 people who visit the event venue each time it holds. The event starts by 10 am and ends 7 pm and is a great place to network and socialize.

Fusion Lifestyle Fair

This is a quarterly shopping event targeting both fashion and lifestyle vendors and even food related businesses. It’s held at the BMO events center at River Plate Park in Wuse 2 and attracts some of the most interesting Abuja small businesses. It’s usually held on a Saturday and Sunday making it a two day event and usually the 3rd weekend in the month it’s held.

Adopt a Tweep

The quarterly Adopt a tweep is a unique event which happens in Abuja. Unlike most events this particular event is for online social media savvy folks who want to expand their social media prowess, meet and interact with other active Abuja based bloggers and social media enthusiasts. The concept was developed by popular Abuja tweep (twitter personality) Nnodim Blossom AKA @blcompere with the aim of enabling real life networking of tweeps. The event happens on the first Saturdays of every quarter at Hawthorn Suites in Area 11, Garki. For details on the next adopt a tweep contact @blcompere @adoptatweep or @ojaysays.

The Run Way Abuja

The Run way Abuja is an annual fashion and music show which holds at the popular Thisday Dome in Central Area of Abuja metropolis every November or December. Some notable highlights on display for the day include fashion shows where local designers have their designs showcased by models on the fashion runway plus music interlude from popular Nigeria acts. The last edition the Runway 3 was held in December 2012.

Abuja Young Entrepreneurs Awards (AYE Awards)

This event strifes to recognise young enterprising Abuja based business people who have through industry and creativity come up with businesses that have made an impact on the city. Nominees for this event are drawn from various segments including media and arts, entertainment, food, health to mention a few and must fall within the age bracket 21 – 35 to be eligible. The event which receives sufficient media coverage is held every April at the International Conference Center in Garki Area 11.

#Iblog Networking Workshop for Abuja Bloggers

Just like Adopt a tweep the #Iblog is an event targeting bloggers but unlike the former it is an exclusively bloggers affair with almost no consideration given to social media. It usually has two sessions namely; one for training and learning on ways to increase web traffic to your blog or website and a discussion segment where a topical issue is discussed by participants and a guest. It holds monthly on the last Sundays at Juice Place 2 on Libreville Street in Wuse 2.

Weekly Free French Movie Screening

Every Thursdays the French Cultural Center shows a French movie sub-titled in English for the general public. Entrance to see this movie is free and time is 7 PM. Venue is 52, Librevillle Street (Insitut Francais du Nigeria) also known as the French Cultural Center.

#EDCAbuja

This event holds on the first Saturdays of every month at the Hawthorn Suites in Area 11 Garki. It’s put together by the #LimbSimple team which is dedicated to offering technical and leadership skills to the next generation of business leaders in Abuja. It’s a place to meet and interact with business minded folks.

people in scuba gears gonna do? You should even be ashamed to show this crap as military hardware...please remove all

these pictures they are distasteful.....there are more like military crap ware....Nigeria should dismantle its military

and contract it's defense to the Chinese government. Those tanks look like tanks for the U.S civil war area...and there

were tanks in the civil war...SHAKING MY HEAD...and why in the world is the Nigeria military still using AK-47? that gone

is a piece of crap..so inaccurate...all these pictures makes me sick..

Hope you're not missing the point, it's not about trying to make people love you but understanding the real reasons people hate!

If you happen to be a victim of hate or dislike just like every other person with two legs and one head, then I guess you fancy this hub for one thing: the truth and nothing but the truth. You may wonder why people can’t just learn to like and love every other person – come to think of it if everyone ought to like and love what about you, I mean you reading this article, how many people do you like or hate? I guess liking or hating anyone is almost compulsory, I am yet to find anyone who loves everybody and hates nobody.

But that is not why I am here, I want to talk about common reasons for disliking or hating other people such as our friends (some of us do), neighbors, colleagues, in-laws, what have you, you know what I am talking about don’t you?

Good Reasons why people don’t like you

If by chance you discover people don’t like you for any of these reasons, then it’s your fault they don’t like you. You have an attitude problem and really need help. Go and check yourself and make sure you are okay first before trying to make up or live with other decent people.

1. You Brag often

For you the loud mouthed person, you will discover people don’t like you because you can’t help but brag about things that really don’t mean much in terms of how honorable or dignifying you are. You have an expensive car so what! How does that affect the price of beef in the market? Better to disturb yourself and people like you because left to me, your fancy car and the noise you bring with it only disturbs my peace. I’ll rather find time watching television than to listen to your empty boasts so leave me alone and don’t bother me with your expensive stuff or so called achievements. They don’t make you a better person or improve my life in any way.

2. You Talk too much

What can be more annoying than someone who tells people everything, including ugly details of another person’s life? I for one can’t stand people who can’t see beyond their nose when it comes to keeping quiet and talking about only those things that are appropriate and necessary. Must I know what someone did when she was all by herself in the shower? Next time you are around me I’ll be careful to watch my tongue and my back as well.

3. You tell a lot of lies

Bloody liars are everyone’s nightmare including fellow liars. No one, not even liars like to have a liar around them. How am I sure you haven’t lied to me about what you were up to last week at the office when it seemed you where actually trying to nail me with stuff you made up about me? You smile to my face every time but you lie often about almost anything that you have a stake in may be to cover up your mistakes or to take me down. Whatever the case, I don’t feel secure around you and especially don’t like you.

4. You are ill mannered

Do you know how to insult people very well especially with clever sarcastic lines? You are a good candidate for hate. When people talk to you, do you make them feel inferior or unimportant with your bad manners? Do you ignore people, act rashly, flare up and spew poison from your lips? You are on course to being hated.

5. You are selfish

Me myself and I are my best friends mentality for you the selfish type. Have my way at another person’s expense what do I care if they suffer for it. Nobody wants to suffer but your selfishness causes another man to suffer and that is why he doesn’t like you.

6. You are lazy

When working in groups or teams failing to do your part of the team’s work will leave gaps that others have to fill up. That is not nice considering how inconsiderate and troublesome you are coming off as, that reputation will cause others to resent you.

7. You are quarrelsome

You are quick to pick a fight for flimsy reasons, guess who wouldn’t like you? Everyone who sees you immaturity, not only those who have quarreled with before but other people who just realize that you are anything but worthy of being liked.

8. You are condescending

The more you look down on others by your ‘superior’ attitude or superiority complex, the more people will like you less. See all men from their human perspectives and learn to accept them rather than seeing how you can bring them down so as to feel superior.

Bad Reasons for hating people

If on the other hand people don’t like you and you discover it’s for any of the following reasons then you are okay, it is your haters who have issues, they are the ones who need help.

1. You are unique/odd

No two men are alike that is why our finger prints and DNA are different. Likewise our personal attributes and experiences, our goals and destinies. Some of us are very different not like most people, their uniqueness is so obvious that they become odd. Such people may be disliked because they are not understood.

2. You are more successful than most people

Envy and covetousness are signs of a selfish, weak and foolish person. If people hate you for what you have it means you are okay and they are not, they need help. Their insecurity is their curse. Being successful (sometimes wealth is seen as success) is often a reason to hate for fools. If you are successful in your profession or social life and you are hated for that reason then that’s cool.

3. You are honest

An honest man has few friends because frankly speaking not many people want to hear the truth about themselves. Being direct or blunt would mean people will have to express so many emotions and thoughts they would rather keep bottled up, so they may not like you for making them feel so uncomfortable.

4. You aren’t who they want you to be

If people would rather want you to be like them before they like you then sure enough they are at fault. They are only being selfish and arrogant and I don’t see why being liked by people like that should mean anything to you.

Final thoughts

So where do you see yourself, if you are liked by people it may be for the wrong reasons that shouldn’t make you feel cool on the other hand if people don’t like you for the wrong reasons, that is really cool. Overall it makes sense for me to be liked for the right reasons but disliked/hated for the wrong reasons, that means I am okay but that doesn’t mean I am perfect I definitely still need to work on myself.

What do you like or hate about pepper soup and what's your favorite kind! As for me give me catfish pepper soup and you're my best friend for life!

What I love about pepper soup is how it tastes so nice but is not easy to consume, you have to work hard to finish a bowl because of its peppery taste! How about you?

They look like Nigerian students doing rags day anything new or different that we haven't seen before?

Wallie: I believe in charity but do not succumb into shaming people to donate to people in need especially when the person in need is a celebrity. Every life is sacred whether one is a celebrity or not. The right thing for people to do is appeal to those with extra to spare. If a celebrity with all his influential connections is finding it this hard to raise $100k, I wonder what that says about our culture of giving to the needy!

Also, if a celebrity is rumored to have donated, why place the onus on him/her to clear the air about the donation? Whether or not the celebrity donated, he/she owes no duty to anybody to explain his/her action or inaction. I also don’t like how this donation is turning into a popularity contest. If any of the celebrities are like me, I do not like to advertise my donations because whatever I donated is really nobody’s business and is strictly between me and God.

Why can’t OJB every so often publish a list of his donors and how much they donated?

Thank you! Meanwhile some Silly 'smart' people have been ranting nonsense on Ruggedy Baba being justified! Anyways home training is the problem!

Lampsy: Mr celebrity, if u r MENTIONED as DONATING money
to #saveojbjezreel n its FALSE u r as bad as d liars if
u DNT COME OUT N CLEAR IT. Miss celebrity,if u r
mentioned as donating money to #saveojbjezreel
n its false u r as bad as d liars if u DNT COME OUT N CLEAR IT.
I see NO coercion,I only saw a dummy reasonin like fowl...

Seems alot of rude G.O.A.T.S pretending to be smart find an abode in Nairaland! Good luck!

Urine: Mate,please read the story again. Whether you like it or not, you must be smart before you are old. AMEN!

This applies more to you since you obviously aren't listening to the intent of my post! False donation or not don't rant about it leave them to their conscience by the way thanks for the insult!

Ruggedman shut your trap. Giving or doing right is optional even God would prefer to keep quiet and wait for their time to demand for their stewardship while alive. Leave them to their conscience and stop coercing them publicly if they don't feel like giving, by the way I hope you met them privately to say these things too otherwise it would be mere eye service trying to impress only God knows who!

Have you ever lived in a place where everyone happens to be related to a senator, minister, admiral, Colonel and even the President? I wonder if all these dignitaries recognize their relatives who cling to their authority by blood, association and of course 'famzing' *scratches head*

In Abuja, everyone believes they're of high class including the wannabe's that trickle out of the middle and lower clusters of life...

Not to mention the nobody's who are truly clueless as to what high class actually is *smh*
It's infuriating to watch as people with little or nothing to offer, strut around demanding attention while a hot iron seems to rest peacefully up their rear ends *sigh*.

Abuja produces snobbery that out does the British to whom the concept belongs, the only difference being Nigerians inability to imitate the politeness and manners that accompany the noses lifted in the air, such minute details are passed down to servants and guards to apply to their own personal grooming.

How can people thrive on such grounds without imploding? Man after all is meant to be a social being and not a plastic can with nothing but pride to fill it up, you know.

What sickens and perhaps baffles me is the response to entertainment, here in Abj (the supposed land of plenty). You see everyone hiding in VIP getting sweaty while bumping and grinding in a night club, but when concerts and shows are to be attended, the noses go up, fake nails come out and the hands become too heavy to clap, let alone a full on applause for the acts who are slaving away trying appease them (and this is if they deem the event worthy of attendance in the first place).

Oh how I felt for the hosts of Runway 2012 and AYE Awards 2013, as they were dishing out gallons of sweat in an attempt to catch the attention of the silent crowd. You could literally hear a pin drop after every joke, some mc's even resulted to begging for applause pulling out every trick they had up their sleeves, poor guys...

You would think this attitude would be dropped at the church doorstep to worship God in fullness (niceness) and truth but nu-uhn, that indeed would be an insult to the trend. The noses go up even higher and the length of rod now slightly protruding from the posterior becomes a hindrance for dancing or clapping in praise to the Lord! (May He have mercy upon us!) When the Pastor says 'turn to your neighbor and say amen', no one turns they just say 'Amen Pastor' (I don't look at people who aren't as awesome as I am but 'Amen') *smh* ...

A new comer to Abuja is taken by the view but lost in the crowd and alone for months, no one willing to accommodate you or make friends, just clusters of cliques basking in self-acclaimed importance, leaving you to swim with sharks (if you find any).

Change starts with one person at a time and I truly hope Abuja loosens up to enjoy the full potential of being an openly social society, abi you never tire to dey form?

When it comes to studying abroad many Nigerians are at a loss as to what real opportunities exist for them to study abroad in world class universities or even which qualified agencies can actually provide them with the needed assistance and consultancy to land a dream course in a top flight university.

With the problems many face at home with studying in local universities such as strike action and falling standards of Education many parents who can’t afford to send their children/wards abroad prefer to send them to private Universities in Nigeria instead. But studying abroad has more career opportunities for Nigerians than in local universities because of the prestige and quality of training Universities abroad are perceived to offer international students.

That now brings up the thought of where to consider when opting abroad for a university degree or Education and who to approach to guide you for your documentation, counselling and visa processing among others.

Things Nigerians Should consider when they want to study Abroad

Here are a few things Nigerians intending on studying abroad should look at in order to help them make the right/best choices:

Country Abroad of Choice

Which country abroad can best offer you the kind of learning environment and choice of course plus living standards/cost of living that you’d like to have? That’s a criterion you shouldn’t overlook when considering opportunities to study abroad here in Nigeria.

Financial Aid Opportunities

We all know University Education is expensive abroad hence why many Universities offer Financial Aid. So ask yourself are there any financial aid opportunities/programs I can tap into?

The right course/field

Even when you know what you wish to study abroad have you thought of the possibilities of similar courses with greater specialization and lower costs that might give your career a boost. Someone may want to study an IT course like say software engineering that may cost him let’s say $60,000 for 4 years in one university whereas another University might be offering a more specialized course like software architechture which costs much less but offers more employment opportunities based on current realities.

Career Potentials of the Opportunity

Always consider what potentials your future career would take based on your choice of study. If you pick a course abroad because it’s not in Nigeria would it remain relevant for long?

The right Study Abroad Agency

Finally and may I say most importantly who will guide in in making the best choice? If you approach family and friends they might give you sound advice on what to study and where but experts in the field who are affiliated to world class universities know best what suits you based on your requirements, that’s why you’ll need professional counselling from a reputable agency that links Nigerians to study abroad opportunities.
