I'm not based in Enugu. I'm just surprised that good salary (non-civil service) jobs aren't available in Enugu. Have you tried Anambra (where industrial factories and commerce are located?)?

Nope, but my sister stayed in anambra before, jobs are there plenty as I've heard but where to stay is a little issue for me, but I know that if I'm really ready I can damn the fact that I have no one there and move to the place.

Have you stayed in trademore estate ? What of CBS? What of VON? River park Nko ? Even around dunamis Patience jonathan estate nko? Or sabo lugbe? There are far better places than federal housing around lugbe , in federal housing most houses there doesn't have water, but those ones I mentioned they have their own boreholes right in the compound, even lugbe aco is good , the slums in lugbe are around that zone 5 , you can buy community land there and develop it. Those places I mentioned have well tarred road network and they share the same electricity grid with airport.

security is a problem in most of this suburb. Aboki thief will use knife and cutlass design you. We have to station our own vigilante men in my area with our own money and we equip them with fire arm after police advice us to get security for ourselves. That was when those criminals left us alone.

Please I want to relocate to Abuja... I need someone we can pay rent together and show me around. I also want to get a job, preferably teaching. Cause I have a B.Sc and Education certificate. I would be glad if anyone can recommend me good schools I can apply to and comfortable accommodation.
Thanks, please someone respond.

It is not my intention to give you pointers for your life but here’s the action plan I’d advise:

1. Don’t come here first to find that job. Take a month’s break from the city you live and come here. Find the job you want to find. GAATSS and some schools in Maitama can pay you 40k - 90k. Getting in is the wahala

2. It is best you get the job first before seeking accommodation. Living too far from the office will make you disenchanted with work. Cost of living here is high.

3. Unless you love keeping a job or have someone sending you money constantly, I advise a business. Doesn’t have to involve a shop. Know one thing, Abuja residents are so FAKE, there are some services you could do for them and earn.

4. Protect your happiness. Be unafraid!

Hello Bro.

It went differently

I didn’t relocate my business. The only thing I did in Abuja is attend parties, conferences, to market what I do

I want to thank you all for your advice and recommendations . It won't be a a gathering of Nigerians without the use of colourful languages but all in all it has been helpful . I will be moving to Abuja this weekend to prepare things against next month when i will be starting work . the apartment i got is in Kubwa . I have a vehicle. No place in Nigeria is safe, I'm believing in God for protection .

The summary i got from this thread is :
Get a job or have a business b4 moving to Abuja (done)
Have a vehicle for transportation (done skrt skrt)
Buy food from the local market instead of eating out (noted)
Live within your means (noted)
Abuja residents are not social. (this is a trend in most cities i've lived. tokyo, london, kl. so im not shocked)
buy land and build instead of renting (with which money?)
it cost nothing to live in Aso Rock (Ok)

It's been a pleasure.
Cheers
