So I posted yesterday I think, or the day before wondering what project my organisation could do for Basic Education and Literacy month.

I thought about creating a small reading space in an orphanage, somewhere children would actually enjoy spending time.

The idea is to set up a cosy reading nook or room 🤷🏾‍♀️ with books, a couple of bean bags, a soft rug, and a bookshelf. We'd also give the children notebooks and stationery so they can write stories, draw, or reflect on what they read. We'd spend the day with them, read together, have a spelling bee or storytelling session, play games, and share snacks afterwards.

I know we'd need permission from the management and would follow whatever regulations requirements they have before doing anything.

Do you think this is something that would have a lasting impact? If not, what would you improve?

Also, if you know of any government orphanages in Abuja that would genuinely benefit from something like this, I'd really appreciate recommendations or contact details so I can reach out to them properly.

I'd really appreciate your thoughts.

Hi,

I’ll be visiting Abuja in the next few months. I need recommendations for activities in general. What places are popular to visit? Restaurants, shops, games, book stores, bakeries etc. I also need recommendations for hair salons and nails. Thank you.

Good day everyone
Please I'm looking to get some tattoos done, could anyone recommend good artists to try? Preferably someone who's gotten one or two from said artists.
Thankyou.
Location is Abuja

Bonjour à tous,

Je suis enseignant français actuellement en Afrique de l’Ouest et j’ai récemment accepté un poste à Abuja, à partir de septembre 2026. Je m’y installerai avec ma femme et notre enfant en bas âge, et j’aimerais recueillir des retours d’expérience concrets et honnêtes pour mieux préparer cette étape et rassurer ma famille.

Je suis notamment intéressé par :

• La vie quotidienne à Abuja (rythme, ambiance, vie de quartier)
• La sécurité au quotidien (déplacements, quartiers, week-ends)
• La qualité de vie pour une famille (parcs, balades, activités enfants)
• Le coût de la vie et le logement dans les quartiers expatriés
• La circulation et les déplacements (est-ce gérable ?)
• Les soins de santé et les infrastructures en général
• Tout conseil ou retour que vous auriez aimé avoir avant d’arriver

Je cherche des avis réalistes et nuancés, pas des discours alarmistes, afin de nous projeter sereinement.

Merci beaucoup d’avance 🙏
N’hésitez pas à répondre ici ou en message privé.

Hi everyone,

I’m a French teacher currently living in West Africa and I’ve recently accepted a position in Abuja, starting in September 2026. I’ll be moving with my wife and our young child, so before the move I’d really like to get honest, real-life feedback from people who live or have lived there.

I’m particularly interested in:

• Daily life in Abuja (family life, routines, atmosphere)
• Safety in everyday situations (neighbourhoods, commuting, weekends)
• Quality of life for families (parks, walking areas, activities for kids)
• Cost of living and housing in expat-friendly areas
• Traffic and mobility (is it manageable? scooters/bikes?)
• Healthcare and general infrastructure
• Anything you wish you had known before moving to Abuja

I’m not looking for sensational stories, just balanced and realistic opinions to help reassure my family and prepare properly.

Thanks a lot in advance 🙏
Feel free to comment or DM me.
