welcome to the life of a corper posted to Abuja for her youth service, with, well, high expectations. i won’t lie, i was impressed. Abuja is a beautiful city, great city but you have to be smart. not Lagos kind of smart, but cute smart, corperate smart, contact smart, swift smart, sweet mouth smart, Lagos smart will help though. will load you with the gist sha.

So, i peacefully came to Abuja to come serve my fathers land, like they say, quite excited. in fact my sweet friend Oliver jokingly said,
“dont go and catch ordinary guys ooo, catch ministers son and rich sons, its Abuja”
my funny friend does not know that Abuja can be referred to a fake city, as people just package to appear flashy, they even sound flashy like gold only for you to find out, its all bronze.

Well, my camping experience was fun, i met great friends, funny ones, walking brewery friends, trouble makers, ambitious ones, great speakers… etc very interesting, but no one prepared me for the real Abuja life, so to say.

I was aware of the expensive life, as in, i knew there would always be a way to cut cost, so i was well ready for the transportation, accommodation, in fact, all except one thing, “the Guys”, “the Males”, “the Men”, “the Boys”, ok, that’s it for now, will mention more as time goes on.

The guys are something else, a good way, its cool they are blunt about it, but quite disrespectful, for a guy to meet you and just say just anything…

well, chill, detailed gist is coming….

Just chill for detailed se
