Hi, is it possible to find temporary apartments in Abuja at reasonale prices?? Single flats, that kind of thing

Hi Mr. Banji.
Since you know the business, as a student returning with my furniture, do I pay clearing fee's?? I hear theres some kind of exemption?? Unless Im wrong and it was only on allowance to bring in furniture at all?
Kindly let me know

H2O2:

what's with the long-winded dissertation and male abhorrence
if you harbor a grudge against nigerian men, you are not under obligation to marry one.
kick rocks and stop taking your frustration out on your keyboard!

Hello. . . she's making some very valid points. I think this nairaland place has coloured my opinion of nigerian men, cos its mainly threads like this you find in this section. Men complaining of how 'westernized' nigerian girls are becoming. Its annoying and its high time it stopped.
So its not about not wanting to marry a nigerian man, its about getting tired of the whinning that goes on here.

chris wu:

@sugarbelly, phony and Oba. very intelligent posts. there was this scenerio i witnessed. a girl was on my street nd as guys , my friend walked up to her nd tried sweet talkin her. her boyfriend showed up from no where nd laced her with two hot slaps nd asked her what she was doin there. before we could react, she started begging her boyfriend, the whole am sorry stuff., forgive me. i was really pissed off. Girls have to take into consideration that there are so many guys out there. no guy is made specifically for you. go inot the world. Go fishing.Not gettin married is not the worst thing in the world. some marriages are,

Well well well . . . .if ever I met a smart man, that man was you. I hope youre a real person, cos its good to find guys who talk straight. Cheers

As far as I know sha, if as a woman I chrish and respect my husband, then friction wont occur very often (though its bound to happen and its healthy). But this you people's 'submission' of a word. . . . hm . . . e get as e be oh, cos as far as I know, I should only submit to my Creator. And dont bring the Bible into this please, because the original language of the Bible is Hebrew, and then translated into Latin or whatever, before english. So only goodness knows what word EXACTLY is meant to be there.
And so this word 'submission'. . . . hm . . . e get as e be oh.

If you as a man set out wanting your wife to 'submit' to you, you'd either get a) A 'submissive' but coniving cheating woman, or b) A trouble maker.
If your woman respects you as she loves you, then you have all the 'submission' one human being can ask from the other.

But that wont mean she cant think for herself anylonger or argue with you. A man being the 'head' is not overruling.
As many wars and unhappiness in the world today have proven, men arent always right.
So thank The Lord if you find a woman (not a trouble maker) who challenges you to be the best man you can be by not being 'submissive'!

Oya, let the abuses reign! ! !

Looking for attention? Go to Religion section or something. Everything you just said sounds like you copied it from some joke column or so

FADAKA:

@Rosabelle, What else do you expect me to say? That each Artist that expect to go on Global stage need to stay on his/her brand.
Please don't get me wrong. I like 2Face, I do love is music, 2 Face song make me proud as a nigerian. African Queen remain my alltime best that ever came out of Nigeria.in recent time.
Haven't said that, Akon for SENEGAL, Sean Paul for Jamaica, Wyclef for HATIAN, 2FACE yi ti gbogbo wanii, Ilove himdie.
But, on this track he need to do more home work next time. so for him to bring that "GRAMMY AWARD" home he need to stay away from other peoples work.

@Youngdee, I want to believe you didn't meant to call my Name a fake just because of my OPINION on something?

Over to you madam Rosabelle!!!,

I dont think I understand a word of what youre saying.

youngdee:

Fadaka
Why dont you try to read your last post before this, you accused Tu baba of using another person beat, it was not an opinion but accusation. Dont try to lie now.

Thats what I thought oh. It sounded more like an accusation!
Im not the biggest 2face idibia fan, but he will go down in history as one who took nigerian music out and to the top. He suceeded in setting a competition and encouraing others, so Im proud of him. But when a guy has worked hard, you commend him . . thats what I think

FADAKA:

This Guy's need to learn about copy right law, That sound tracks belong to another Artist.
This one can only fool local Audience not the International stage.
How can TUFACE sing on someone else sound and expect to bring home "GRAMMY"

Kindly educate the "local audience" dude? ? ? ? 

Its a cool song. Would be a shame if its not his beat. Nigerian artists make me proud, but 2face, he started the competition and took it to levels. I dont think he needs to steal other ´peoples tunes, but lets see.
Mr Fadaka oya oh. .  .soro

Go for that english class madame, and then come back ok

vanitty:

English da iwo baby yii lamu sha,
let me give you examples
"Dalai Lama not fussed to meet Howard"
"This weekend 16 million lawns will be fussed, fed and fretted over "
You see how they made use of the word "fussed "
Many many more on google and i gave you a link to dictionary as well and you still can't grasp what i am saying
Don't dumb yourself down just to prove a point shotigbo.
I repeat read my first post again then maybe, maybe you will understand.
Nigeria woman, pele o , it is a good thing we have someone like you always fighting our battles , only wish our self-appointed fighter has some manners

Oh please. Your google examples dont exhonorate your rubbish talk. Youre ignorant if you think nigerian women are among the "few" who are "fussed" to change their names. Silly examples that have nothign to do with your rubbish talk. After all the silly practice comes from christianity and christianity doesnt belong to the african. So Mrs "Im probably a nigerian", check your facts before you talk!
Im not fighting any battles for anyone. Just stop talking trash. Simple!

Well Mr Pharoh . . thank you for your mediation  
I maintain, the question was directed to NIGERIAN WOMEN. Nigerian by marriage is cool, but not if your opinions are based on your knowing only one or two nigerians, namely, the person youre married to and a few others who in no way reflect the culture of 130million people.
Thats why I sounded so harsh. They didnt express themselves correctly.
"Fussing" about a name change, I still dont think is only an issue in Nigeria. It is looked upon everywhere these days, as women wanting to be independent.
Merry Christmas to you too

Sorry madame. You might be the one in need of that little lesson. You cant be "fussed" to change a name. You can however make a "fuss" about changing a name. Neither applies to the nigerian woman changing her name after marriage.

vanitty:

actually i think Nigerian women are one of those that can be fussed to change their names, other nationalities don't even bother

And I maintain, other nationalities DO BOTHER about the women changing their names. They "fuss" about it a lot.
So please dont talk about stuff you dont know. I dont care where you come from, but you need to have been to all corners of nigeria before running off at the mouth about what nigerian women are "fussed" to do or what we "fuss" about or not!

Pharoh:

That's modern Nigerian ladies for you but just overlook it because of the fact that we type behind the PC.
@Rosabelle
I find it hard to believe that you typed those responses above because i regard you a lot and i know you just somehow always sound bitter when it comes to men vs women topics.

And Mr Pharoh, kindly explain to me what the two ladies meant, since my reaction is that of a "modern nigerian lady". You dont have to kiss ass my friend. Dont piss me off. If I was wrong in my interpretation of their comments, then I'd apologise, but if I wasnt, then please just chill, cos I am justifiably aggressive. It makes me sick to read the stuff nigerians say sometimes, but I wont listen to the crap from non-nigerians too!!!

vanitty:

there is a difference between fussed and forced my dear.

Oh Im sorry. Kindly tell me the difference  . . . cos I thought that was a typo? ? If its not, then what do you mean by "fussed" You can make a fuss, but Im not sure you can be "fussed" into changing a name, . . . whereas you can be "forced". , . .kindly explain!

chillbabe:

@rosabella i think this is an open forum 4 everybody 2 reply. For ure info am a nigerian by marrige if u had read other comments off the origenal poster u would understand my reply. Btw how old r u adults dnt communicate by insult. More so am tired off some Nigerian men bashing my sisters.

I just find it irritating how you non nigerian women seem to like to CLAIM to stand above nigerian women. I didnt insult you, I insulted Vannity cos she's talking about how only nigerian women can be FORCED, like we're under our men.
Now to you. You said already you have your husbands name first and your fathers name second? So if your fathers name were Smith and your husbands name John, I understand you to mean you answer John-Smith? ? ? ? Correct me if Im wrong, for this is what I understood by your comment? And thats why Im wondering why youre replying in the first place

vanitty:

Rosabelle didn't your parents/teacher/sunday school teacher how to communicate in public? You can disagree without being insultive.

I didnt go to sunday school. And secondly, Im tired of seeing such comments as yours. What on earth do you mean by "only nigerian women can be forced into changing their names". . . . ? ? ? ?

Pharoh:

That's modern Nigerian ladies for you but just overlook it because of the fact that we type behind the PC.
@Rosabelle
I find it hard to believe that you typed those responses above because i regard you a lot and i know you just somehow always sound bitter when it comes to men vs women topics.

Well she did sound a bit silly talking about "nigerian women" as if other women in the world dont change their names after marriage.
Im still waiting for someone to tell me Im wrong in my conclusions of both their replies, cos I really would like to know if I have said somethign wrong!

vanitty:

actually i think Nigerian women are one of those that can be fussed to change their names, other nationalities don't even bother

You sound like a fool. Cos most places in the world women DO change their names. Nigerian women are not forced, they get married and change their names. So stop talking trash.

chillbabe:

@topic i put my husband name first and my fathers name second and am not a Nigerian so ure post doesn't make any sence

Well your reply sounds like you didnt even READ the post in the first place. If youre not a nigerian woman and if your fathers name is second, then why on earth are you replying to the post?

TheSeeker:

Una still dey here dey argue?

I tire

Carry waka mr Pharoh . . .you too talk. Is your name "nigerian men" ?
Which one do you want to become the defender of the universe.
Youve spoken your own and we've heard. If guilty conscience is not doing you, why do you keep complaining.

That is it. They go round the internet shouting about african values and how western values are overshadowing our society and women are now questioning "natural" roles in the family. "Natural roles", "traditional roles". But as usual, they bend it to suit what theyre saying.

Meanwhile a good half of them are dependent on women. More than half of them depend on a hard working woman to maintain their living standard. See nonsence oh.
If we went by traditional roles, a woman should NEVER be the one to pay the rent. A woman should NEVER be the one to buy the generator with her hard earned money and she and her husband should NEVER share bills because a proud traditional man would want to provide for his family with his two hands, through hard work.
Not this lazy nonsence you hear everywhere. Rubbish.

Hm. May The Lord help us, because I honestly dont know where we're headed!

LOL
Its going up a notch here it is.
Quodos to Igbogirl. I havnt read your previous postings, and I dont know whether you curse or use vulgar language, but youre hitting the nail on the head.
Half these men ranting about house work were simply brought up badly, and turned out lazy.
My brother is a spick and span character and cant be caught dead in an even 'partially dirty' home, so he cleans, when his wife has her hands full and I respect him for it, and it puts his wife on her toes, cos she doesnt want her husband coming back from work and pointing out what she didnt do. She knows he can cope with and without her even though he loves her to death, so she's constantly on her toes to make him happy.
You earn respect my brothers, you CANT demand it.

@Aysomething . . . The Lord has blessed you jare. You can count yourself lucky cos you found a man who's mother can be proud wherever she is, cos she brought her son up to be a MAN.
Not all these monkeys you have here shouting up and down. You people think all it takes to be a man is to shout and to go out and come back inside and say youve worked so food made by the house girl . . . . oh Im sorry, glorified housegirl you call your wife should be waiting on the table.
Meanwhile half those women have more demanding jobs and are trying just as hard as you to make ends meet.

Well sha, I'l continue to say it, women, bring up your sons to be men. Bring them up different. Teach them to be upright characters. If we all do our homework, the quality of nigerian men would improve!
Not this rubbish I read on NL everyday

Negro_Ntns:

Una still dey here argue for who go do dishes and who go sweep floor?   

Ladies, it goes much further than just doing dishes!  Pretty soon you will tell him to do laundry. . then he should do grocery. . .now go clean bathroom.  You call such male weakness an adorable quality.  I guess you have lost sense of reference for what adoration is. That same quality that you find adorable in him today. . . his eagerness to help bake the cake and clean the crockpot. . .will soon become a resentment when few years from now he doesnt see anything wrong with being a stay-home-dad, he is out in the front lawn planting new flowers in that apron you gave him for valentine.

So now washing the clothes you wear is a problem? Do you know how you sound?

papinbeyo:

honestly,i dont like this at all. last week my girlfriend came to stay and we tried co-operating the first day was fine,the next day she piled dishes up in the zinc waiting for me to go wash them.trust me guys i burst out in flames me i no wan co-operate b4 self.man washing plates habahabahabahaba

I dont support your girlsfriends style, and I definitely wont be asking my man to go into the kitchen to wash up, but if Im too busy, he needs to take initiative. Thats my take on this man/woman matter.
When my brother's wife was pregnant, they had no maid and because she couldnt do a lot, he did the cooking and washing and ironing. And almost everday, she'd call my mum to thank her for bringing up a man.
Today, my brother is still a man. He still has his penis . . . . it hasnt fallen off, and his wife treats him like a king.
You earn respect my brothers, you dont demand it. If you have to demand respect, it means you have failed and you know it!!!

@Ifedy . . . . please who made those clothes? Theyre grand. I need a taylor. Talk to me please

Well as far as Im concerned men who go on and on and on about not doing anything to help at home because they are 'men' are the one's who can barely satisfy their women in bed, if not, your masculinity wouldnt be soo easily threatened!
If you have hands and a mouth to eat, why is washing your plate a problem?
Anyway, its us women I blame. All you ladies shouting here, Ive said it before on other threads, leave these men alone, start with your sons. If you bring your son up to know that after mummy has cooked, to show his thanks, he should wash his plate, when he grows to be a man, he'l know washing his plate is a sign that he was brought up by a good woman. A woman who makes him understand that women are not there to serve men, but to be protected by men!

THE-AMAKA:

wow!! ill have to say comment #37 is one of my favorite pics.
i could live in an area like that, if i had the money.

#37 is actually an estate in Ikoyi or VI. . . . I was the last time I visited and thought it was nice. But its kind of scary, cos those places were sandfilled and my grandpa always said water and the government will always reclaim their land  . . . so if you have money, find a house where no sandfilling was done LOL

I love that Abuja central mosque sha. In the whole of Abuja, Im not sure theres another building that is as beautiful. Its such a simple building, but grand at the same time.

Igwe.:

You guys are losing it, if you stayed in Abuja for one month you wouldn't wanna live in any other part of the country for obvious reasons, unless you are not all that rich or lucky to find yourself in a city of Abuja.
There's nothing i cherish in life like maximum security, good road network hence less traffic, serene environment and basic amenities.
Most people that claim to be living in  Abuja live outside the city of Abuja, the best way one can enjoy Abuja is to own a house in Abuja.

What are you talking about sir?? You  seem to be contradicting yourself.

@TexMex that has been my problem you know. This huge divide between the rich and poor that is predominant in the north. Yes its a nigerian problem, but it seems there simply isnt room for the private sector to flourish in the north. Or the private sector simply keeps away from it? I dont understand.
Cos I mean, like I said, Im a born lagosian and I LOVE that city, but there was no plan for the population explosion and now, its like living in a jungle. Though the present governor is working, it'l take the joint effort of other governors working on their own states too, to reduce the lagos problem. Since people like mr. Igwe here believe one should always run where the grass appears greener instead of working on one's region to make it just as nice.
Most pople feel they havnt arrived until they live in lagos and this has led to the problems we have with overpopulation.
Now mr. Igwe and the like are running to abuja and Im wondering if this wont become like lagos in another 15yrs.
We cant be talking like lagos and abuja are the only places in nigeria. There are 34 other states and its quite unfortunate that the wealth and business opportunities are not being spread around

furacao:

Wow, l hadn't seen this face of Abuja before. Never even visited. Hopefully l will one day.

A lot of nice looking buildings. Very few people. The government has tried in spending so much on buildings and roads, but is the quality of life of Abuja residents actually as buoyant as the buildings, or is it a plastic city?

You see that had always been my reservation about the place. Cos I visited some ten years ago and it was much different then, but stilll, I felt it was a little 'plastic'. Lots of glitter. I mean, what are the buildings if the average man cant live decently. Its that aspect that worries me. The rich are still super rich and the poor are super poor, and that to me is not exactly progress, no matter how well planned it is.

Problem with lagos is, there was no plan for the population explosion, and In wondering is Abuja will experience the same thing, cos now everyone ants to rush there, when the ideal thing would be to draw up a plan for each state, just as the governor of lagos is doing

Well thanks folks, for putting up all these photos. Im a born lagosian, so I LOVE lagos, but everytime I go home to visit, its clearer eachtime that I cant live there anymore cos the confusion is unbelieveable. So seeing these photos give me hope of coming home. I could actually live in Abuja.

brooklyn99:

@rosabelle: u used to be a size 40 now u a 38? damn, u still fat sorry,

See you exhibiting your gayness. Any man who knows a womans body knows size 38 is size 12 and women with size 38/40 are women with THE bodies.
Fat? i dont think so. Even at a size 40, I was still fabulous

whiteroses:

maybe 38 italy cos thats like 12 uk

European 38, thats uk12. Italien 38 is like European 36, uk 10 I think lol,

Eddysco:

Death Penalty ke??
It is already a do or die matter for the Kidnappers so that will not scare them at all.
Our country needs prayers,

You havnt noticed we've been praying for ages now?? Our country needs a government, thats what we need.

Rubbish Rubbish and nonsence.
Ive said it before. What more does a 'man' want from a woman if she has said 'I love you,and I do' ? Is it not a man who doesnt satisfy his woman who'd ask such a silly irrelevant question? Abi did any of the women you people married or will marry fall from the sky? Didnt she grow up somewhere?
Doesnt the Bible you people are quoting left right and centre also mention a woman shall leave the parents and a man shall leave his parents to become one? How many of you funny-brought-up men have problems with your spouses and actually respect her enough to discuss your problem with her and not your mothers and sisters?
All of you talking scripture only know how to quote what will chastise the other person, but you dont look in the mirror when talking.
If you like dont go and work.
School fee's is waiting for you oh. . . . . . .Why do nigerian women bear their fathers name . . . .be asking qestions that expose your smallness!
Im so pissed!
Is this even a topic?

bawomolo:

yeah because the bible is the only book of morals. self-righteous hypocrites. You know how to quote the bible when it suits you but ignore it when comes to premarital sex and the likes.

LOL,
