Moving to my city, you should be ready to experience heavy traffic in major roads early morning, and late evenings depicting start and close of work, and you should experience the wonderful night life during the weekends.

Abuja is a culturally dynamic city. The dominant language is hausa.it’s quite expensive to live in and life moves very fast. We have one pretty good roads and nice estates but, like anywhere else, we have slums and dirt roads riddled with potholes. Life can be simple or complicated depending on your lifestyle.

Living in Abuja is not easy for workers, the need to get to work in time despite the terrible traffic. I advise workers to always set an alarm so as to enable them rise early so as to beat this heavy traffic. It’s a safe city to stay though seeing as the president resides here.

It is a safe place with minimum traffic. Lots of restaurants with great food and schools near each district. Housing allowance is quite pricey and you need to have a job to survive the daily hassle. Electricity is not available 24/7 in most places but the city is mostly filled with nice people.

Abuja is the centre of the wonderful country Nigeria, different from other states as it is the seat of the executive. There are lots of good roads with little to no problem with traffic, good water and power supply and many other basic amenities. The scenery is also amazing with places like crush rocks and restaurants which are to die for, you can never run out of fun places.

Someone moving to Abuja should consider finding a place to stay in close proximity to his daily activities within the city, the cost of feeding himself and transportation. Also, the road congestion and resulting pollution during peak travel periods is something to note should he be a person with environmental allergies.

Public transport system in Abuja comprises mainly of taxis and tricycles, Buses are few. Transport fare is quite cheap and there is rarely any traffic. Hausa language is a plus to learn and pidgin English is commonly spoken. The city has a relaxed atmosphere and a buzzing nightlife especially on the weekends.

Abuja is the capital of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is relatively one of the safest places in Nigeria. It is the home to our beloved president and has many tourist attractions such as Aso Rock, Zuma Rock and many others. Mornings in my city are very cool and traffic is minimal. Also, crime rate here is low as the police are at each nook and cranny. My city is also a very beautiful place at night as the streets are brightly lit up.

As my city is the capital of the country, transportation facilities are in high demand and it is more beneficial to own a vehicle for personal use as opposed to depending on public transportation. Another thing one should consider is the population density which causes traffic jams at certain times of the day on major roads.

Someone moving to Abuja should know one basic thing: There are majorly two parts of the city. One part is quieter, easier to access, moderately populated, but is more expensive. The other part is not so easily accessible – a lot of heavy traffic, is noisier and dirtier, but it is less expensive.

Be careful of theft and there’s lots of traffic, so be prepared for that. We have an issue with electricity and internet services. Not to talk of corruption, lack of jobs, poverty, etc. if moving to work, the salary is not worth the stress. The education sector is average, it should be worth a try.

Chiamaka, says: 2020

If you’re moving to Abuja, you should consider the serenity, neatness and development of the city. Abuja is the Federal capital territory of Nigeria but has lesser amount of traffic compared to Lagos another city in Nigeria. It equally has the best social amenities in the country such as good water supply.

Adebayo, says: 2020

Abuja is the Federal Capital City of Nigeria, moving here has lots of advantages. The road network is great with less traffic, anyone will enjoy it here. Most of the government office headquarters are here and standard of living is fair enough. Anybody can live in Abuja as there are no racial barriers in settling here.
