THELATTERMAN:
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?

What do you mean by AI generated comment?

Why is everyone talking about power supply and no one is asking about security? I would have thought that should be top on the list of considerations for a relocation.

We'll, AI means artificial intelligence. It's embedded in WhatsApp now. People can easily ask it questions and it'll give halfbaked answers.

Without knowing your budget you will never get a reasonable suggestion... Cos in most cases that your kubwa and lugbe you're mentioning your budget cannot afford you nearness to Major road, constant electricity as you want... Let know your budget so we can make informed suggestions

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.

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

jabi is beautiful but expensive and it is not very secure. Jahi is okay

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

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,

I am looking for a place closer to CBD, I don’t want to stress my self too much going to work and coming back, I need like 10 minutes and 20 minutes drive max without traffic with a cheap rent of 800k for 3/2bed

Where could that be ?

Kinzo0917:


Which traffic dey kubwa road?

The only time traffic dey kubwa road na on Mondays

As for the other reasons you highlighted, I00% agree with you

My mistake, it was Bwari that was coming to mind as I was typing. Even Kubwa is not cheap.

Kinzo0917:



I live in kubwa

There is no place u can get self con for 150

I used to pay 150k 2 years ago. This year February, my landlord increased it to 170k. And by October this same year,to 300k. We are still negotiating Sha

Kubwa landlords are inhuman. Just because dey heard Tinubu increased minimum wage of which dey have not started paying yet. Is not as if everyone is a civil/public servant ooo

please am in this same shoes , my budget is 150k for a self contain, please help me am already working in abuja

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

olaposer:
aiport road lugbe is not bad , it is very afordable and cool for beginer , i am a living witness

What about security wise

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

Afolue:

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

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

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

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.

Both Lugbe and Kubwa is fine.

Lugbe has Light and is closer to town

Kubwa has light, More affordable than Lugbe but far to town.

Note if you are a social type I would suggest Kubwa this Lugbe wan use Boredom kill me
I don turn introvert tipatipa Mẹ Lagos boy planning on moving tho but Bar never dey

illicit:

Its the largest satellite town in FCT

Electricity is the same.as it is every other place but some area have it better...

Electricity in Guzape, Life Camp, Garki is much better than any satellite town. These areas are also in band A

If you have the money Jabi💯 but if not Lugbe and you can plan where to relocate to from there, Kubwa is fine but far to town.

Abuja ,Here I come,Maybe

Sir sucre can you help out im coming kaduna next month I wanted renting a place at city college or Karu it’s quite hard can you recommend an agent ?

The people saying lugbe and kubwa probably have never been to Abuja.

Considering what you listed, Mpape is the best option for you. It is the nearest suburb to town. Literally 10 minutes or less to maitama, it has steady supply of electricity and very cheap accommodation.

But don't expect to brag with it, because when you mention it, a lot of people will think you stay in a cheap location or even a slump in Abuja. But isn't true and shouldn't be your concern for now.

There is a slump part and there is a regular part. Go for mpape.
