ABUJA - NEWLY ARRIVED DESTINATION

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, capital to the most populous African Country. The chaos is in huge chunk, the corruption is unbelievable and the natural resources availed to this Country leaves the human mouth - ajar!

The FCT is the technical seat of power - popularly referred to as the Aso Rock. This connotes where the President lives and controls the Country.

Some of the Government Agencies, Ministries and Parastatals could be found through the link.

Here is the summary : - we got everything, name it! Human capacity, raw talent, crude-unrefined resources, mineral resources, stones - gem stones, population (above 200 million and still counting), crude oil, liquified natural gas (Ouch, we still don't know how to curb gas flaring).

An Abuja-wannabe, or intending settler in search of greener pasture comes right in, believing its all a bed of roses! Extreme goof with such thoughts.

Predominantly, civil-servant oriented a city. With this comes a chain of contractors, stereotyped-minded individuals/people with low-income but stable earnings. Band of followers, dogmatic Nigerians. No zeal to explore unknown terrains, nor new fields.

In all, you must be able to think out-of-the-box! Meaning, out of your brain capacity/capability. All about the survival instinct in you. Look beyond your nose. Learn to fill a need or vacuum. Quite pertinent to note that after all said and done, the conquest is worth it.

Stay focused.
