I'm moving pretty soon,
I rented a house at ushafa in bwari,
What can y'all tell me

Culture shocks as follows
1. Very hot 🔥 breeze is oven baked
2. One chance is real
3. Police are more friendlier
5. No lights no water
6. Mama put taste better than continental
7. Zuba & nyanya parks offers even direct London flights there
8. Babes bills premium rate
9. 🚨 Sirens noise frequently high
10. Suya & kilishi tastes better

The only thing I can tell you is to make sure you transfer your voter’s card there and vote on Election Day.

Abuja is sweet if you have money. In Abuja you need money to connect with big boys. Abuja a place where you need capital (funds) to be relevant in the capital.

Things are expensive here no be mouth.

Bills bills bills. Everyone is relocating from Abuja. All thanks to wike and tinubu. They want to turn Abuja to London

Be careful, one chance full that area. You will enjoy Abuja more if you have friends and relatives.

That's almost 45mins outside city center.
Enjoy tho

Bwari is away from town, but a satelite town on its own.

Land of pretenders and fakers.

Abuja is hot as hell, but it is still better than living in the core north because there is no scorpion infestation!

That is outskirts of Abuja. A crime ridden area

Well for me,I must have water in abundant supply because there's so much washing and cleaning to be done and I can't stand filth .

Be careful of Abuja girls..
You see those girls with big big backsides- they can send you back to where you coming from

Been to Abuja once. That was years back. It has its pros and cons. I rate it as, decent.

Abuja is one hell of an overrated place. It doesn't have its own economy beyond politics and looting. People who haven't traveled to civilized countries would equate it to a paradise.. Everything there requires one stupid Aboki connection or the other.
If I were to be given the option of living in the best parts of Abuja or similar living standards places in Lagos, I'd choose Lagos anyday anytime.
Real dumb ass city. Fake life, weak economy outside of politics, zero mental stimulation and ingenuity beyond real estate, scrambling for connection, lazy folks heavily dependent on stolen public funds, no active industries. Just infrastructure that preserves the ruling class.

Abuja can be fun even the ushafa you have plenty Bush meat if you are a fan of it.

Same as my own thoughts too

Only infrastructures
Roads
Crossovers
Bridges
Street lights
Real estate and other stuffs

But no active manufacturing industry like we have in the south.

Or it is because it's the national capital?

It has nothing to do with being the nation's capital. It's more of a question of the priority of a people. In industrialized countries, capital cities nearly always double as manufacturing hubs and active economic centres. It's a different case in Nigeria where looting and misrule are key priorities, hence the capital city also becomes the epicenter of institutionalized criminality.
Everything about Abuja reflects this reality and that's why luxury sells well without the productivity driving it.. just loot, loot and continue looting.

Moving from where? Be more
