Smart politicians like Obi should learn from the APC's primary elections. I strongly believe that if care is not taken, they might run the general election the same way they conducted their primary elections - nothing would be free and fair.

Alexx Ekubo was a good actor. But beyond the screen, he spent years championing youth empowerment, education, and humanitarian causes that reach far beyond the film set.

Here are some of his real contributions to society:

1. In 2023, Alex Ekubo was named Rotary Youth Ambassador of the Year by Rotary International District 9142, recognizing his sustained commitment to youth growth, confidence, and leadership development across Nigeria.

2. In 2020, he was listed among the U.N.'s Most Influential People of African Descent Under 40, an initiative connected to the United Nations that spotlights emerging leaders driving positive change on the continent.

3. In 2021, he won the Nigerian National Award of Excellence as Global Social Giving Actor of the Year, a formal recognition of his charity work and community contributions.

4. Through his partnership with the Oladele Fajemirokun Foundation, he visited and supported public primary schools in Lagos, bringing attention and resources to early childhood education.

5. Beyond formal awards, Ekubo consistently used his celebrity platform to mentor young Nigerians in entertainment, entrepreneurship, and personal development — making his influence as much off-screen as on.

May His Soul Rest in Peace

I want to relocate to Abuja but I need very cheap house around please help a brother below 100k even it's around there village

I'm not sure you can see a 100k self-contained apart anywhere in AMAC. But you could see it in Gwagwalada.

And trust me, if you get to see one, you won't like it. I dy 100% sure say u no go like am.

Smartlux:
Pls can you drop me a number or mail to reach you?

I have accepted your request to email me.

Goodadvice01:
I can write well. If I create account, can you put me through pls? I want to relocate to Lagos also

Yes, I can put you through.

Please note that I'm in Abuja not Lagos.

Absquare20:
Can you help me create an Upwork account and put me through on how to start earning on it

No, I can't. I don't have the time to create an account for you. But if you have valuable skills to offer, I can put you through the basics when you create an account.

Alphajunkee:
Is the rent expensive

I paid 480k for it. To renew 400k yearly. It has running water and pop.

Danzakidakura:
Come kabusa make we flex you.

I have been to Kabusa a number of times. In fact, I did my NYSC registration there on Monday.

But I'm looking for an on-site job now, not flexing opportunities. Thanks though!

pinkguy:
I need your accommodations when u leave for nysc how possible is that

I'm working my NYSC to Abuja. So, I'm retaining the place. Moreover I paid for a year.

Previous trend:
https://www.nairaland.com/8292198/relocating-abuja-me-decide

So I relocated to Abuja in January this year, and it's been a mixed feeling. But no regrets.

As a recent graduate who's yet to start/complete NYSC, I didn't bother looking for a job. So, I've been mostly indoors writing content for my clients - I'm a content writer. But now, I'm getting cabin fever from being indoors 24/7.

I'm supposed to join NYSC Batch A, Stream 1. Unfortunately, I have been moved to Stream 2, which camping will commence on the 21st of May. I can't stay cooped for another one month before camp. I'd go mad if I do - lol.

So, please I'm looking for an on-site gig to keep me busy. Something to make me leave home once in a while! Like I mentioned earlier, I'm a content writer. In fact, I’m top-rated on Upwork, with a 100% job success score.

But, It mustn't be a writing gig. I can take on any roles requiring critical thinking, research, and time management skills.

I live near Efab Estate, Lokogoma, and would appreciate anyone who could link me with a job opportunity.

Thanks.

Go to kubwa or duste alhaji (baukuma) if u can go to another state, it will be good... I jst left Abuja 5 months ago and it was a good choice... Abuja is expensive and everybody is trying to cheat you, jst to make money... From mechanics to d petty trader on d street

Well, from my little experience, we Nigerians, especially those of us living in the country, are always on the lookout for the slightest opportunities to extort ourselves. It is just everywhere: both in our megacities and remote villages.

femi4:
That’s one of the most expensive city in Nigeria

My options were Lagos, PH, and Abuja. The latter happens to be the cheapest among these cities.

Geonigga:
Is the best decision you will ever make in life but it will be a bit stressful at the begining but trust my words it will be the best for you

Thanks for the positive words. I just want to take my shot at life!

Afolue:
Don’t you have relatives here in Abuja who can help you out better? Or at least close friends.

I do. But I just fancy the thought of getting suggestions from different people. It doesn't hurt.

BadInflunece:
I'm happy this post came up. I am also considering going to Abuja for a fresh start. Was considering Lugbe, Jabi and Kubwa.

I'll keep following the comments.

I would love for us to connect oh… but your moniker tells me to leave you alone

PulaPower:
Kogi even better..

Nothing dey Abuja joor..

Kogi is better? Have you ever been to Kogi or are you just saying based on internet stats?

LORETA:
My self con in lugbe bridge by pyakasa is 650k

How come you have self-con in Kubwa and Lugbe? Are you a landlord?

jayce232:
Since u are a freelancer, what are u coming to Abuja to do? It is same life everywhere, u just want to expose yourself to unnecessary spending. Why not get a solar & continue your freelance while u plan on how to develop your house in your current location? If u are not coming to Abuja for a job, I don't see any need to come. House rent in abuja is expensive.

You know, freelancing...working remotely, is a cool thing. But as a young graduate, I'm looking forward to entering the labor force and getting real-life experience: good or bad.

Secondly, I have been in Kogi State all my life. From nursery to University education, I did all in Kogi. So, I feel the need to change environment.

illicit:
Yeah sure

Kubwa is your best bet but Lugbe is nearer to town...

Kubwa is still cheaper than Lugbe

A lot of people are talking about how Kubwa is a fast-developing town in Abuja. Does the place get a steady supply of electricity?

Sucre6:
He's A SOUND Advice
If you are considering lugbe make sure it's an estate, if not don't bother renting an apartment not in an estate, demolition is eminent, same goes with kubwa, in fact, there are satellite villages inside the metropolis, avoid them with all your strength.

Now hear this, if you want to stay close to town and considering your budget, karu site and jikowyi phase one is your sure plug, karu site is very close to town and there light is constant too, the vibe karu site give is same like inside the metropolis ,

Again, don't you ever rent a house that is not situate inside an estate in Abuja especially lugbe and kubwa

quote me to give you a tour as soon as u arrive here, Welcome to my city,

Thank you, boss.

How much do you think a self-contain apartment in an estate would cost especially in Lugbe and Kubwa?

Maj196:
Go for Lugbe. It's nearer to town, most places have stable power supply, housing is affordable and security is okay in most places. Kubwa is okay to but farther from town

Noted. Thank you.

I guess you are a Man U fan? Better join Chelsea and have peace of mind

akojifred:
Mention that state u were before,

Kogi state

I'm planning to relocate to Abuja next month, that is January 2025, after completing my undergraduate study in one of the neighboring states. I'm confused about the best, most affordable place to stay.

My major needs are security, electricity, nearness to town, and affordable housing. I have been looking at Kubwa and Lugbe, but I would appreciate some input from Abuja residents here.

Note: I am on a budget. So, places like Asokoro, Utako, etc are out of it. Secondly, I'm a freelancer; hence my need for an area with a steady electricity supply.

So, where in Abuja would you suggest and why?

One of my strategies is to first bill them! Yeah, bill him too. I have a friend who was always calling and asking for a loan. The guy wasn't taking “No” for an answer. One day, I picked up my phone and called him, requesting for urgent 2k.

To cut the story short, he has stopped billing me.
