I haven't lived in Abuja since I was born. I am glad to serve Nigeria in the nation's capital. Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, is dominated by the Gbagyi and Gwari tribes. These tribes occupy over 70% of the population of people whose origin is from Abuja. Despite this dominance, Abuja is an Hausa speaking place. My staying in Abuja has helped me in may ways to become a better person that I hope to be.
I came to Abuja as a corps member of the National Youth Service Corps. In few months, I will round up the service to the nation. Hopefully, I may stay in Abuja after the service year, and see if things can work out for good.
The service year has been a good one. I've been visiting many places in Abuja. I never knew there were villages here. I came from the southern part of the country, Benin-city, to Abuja which is North-central with the thought that Abuja is a mega city, a city full of life and social activities. Although the social life is amazing, it is not up to what I expected to see and experience. Well, maybe I am yet to see more!
For the few months I've lived here, I visited many rural places. I was privileged to serve under the Christian body of the National Youth Service Corps, the Nigerian Christian Corpers' Fellowship. I went to many rural areas, villages, and far-distant rural settlement. All the experience gained were awesome, marvelous and beautiful. I was able to interact with many people living in these places I visited. I got to know the names of some of them and relate with them for the few days I stayed in the villages. Life was fun and amazing. i would like to share some pictures.
I love fishing!
