Okay so I promised a few persons here that I was going to write about my experience relocating to a new city , seriously this post is long overdue , but here it is , it's not late too.
So sometimes last year, I got talking with a friend of mine , we became friends through another friend that I met here on hive, then I had explained my situation to her about needing a new space, staying at my parents place had become tiring , exhausted and frustrating, here don't get me wrong here, of course I love my family ,but sometimes it can be overwhelming especially when you don't have enough to contribute to the house keep, so we talked alot that period and stuff we discussed were.... Business ideas, jobs, SCHOOL, and alot of other personal girls stuff..
Then it was from here I heard University of Abuja wass giving admission,and I initially had plans of continuing with yabatech but seriously when this form came out trust me I was interested, now I know some people say Schooling in Nigeria is a Scam , well I beg to differ because I know alot of people who because they had a certificate were qualified for certain opportunities that came up for them, and yes this is what I am praying to find for myself at the end of this journey. So like that the form came out I got in contact with who was going to help me with registration and all, and to say I waited for months before I finally got this school admission, I had applied for 200 level because of course I have an OND certificate and this should give me like leverage to start from 200 level, but they didn't, I was very unhappy, I reached out to a few friends and broke the news to them, until the guy who was helping me with registration finally said when I go for screening I would definitely be screened for 200 level, so I got calm and I started planning on how I was going to move, remember I didnt have issues with where I was going to stay right? I was supposed to stay with my friend.
Well until she broke the bad news one morning that her landlord was not going to allow her accommodate a stranger, this was after she said she traveled and that she wouldn't be around. I felt bad at first but then I just understood how her apartment was structured, this period were stuff for me , I didnt lose hope ,y plan was to get an apartment as soon as I got to school, in my mind classes haven't started so I could still have time to look for an apartment while trying to still get money for my school , I was torn because all my plans scattered, and i couldn't turn back because I had already started the process , I had spent money and all. Not until a sweet angel came and jaunt about a week before I was supposed to leave, this sweet angel said I could stay at their family house, at first I didn't know what to say, but it came as a blessing in disguise for me, because it wasn't something I ever expected to happen. So let me go back a bit, I also had issues with getting my statement of result from my previous school , because this document was like the most important document I needed to get that 200 level and was the reason I waited till first week of march before I left because I had been to my previous school like 100 times for this thing, I almost got scammed too but then I am a smart person so I used my head and that's how I was able to not get scammed.
So I got my Statement Of Result and I was ready to leave,I just saw all this things as a process ,that it was God that just made things go on like this, I was ready to leave Lagos For Abuja, despite what people said about taking Night Buses for Long journey , omoo I had to take it o , so as to reduce cost of transportation because I don't even have enough to get by.
With the help of my two younger sisters I got my boxes to the park that Sunday evening and around 8:40pm my journey to Abuja started....
