iTS About the BUJ!!!

Its about Abuja!

Y3s!

The city crawler magazine was unveiled last Saturday, but well enough of that, I need a break from editing articles, stories, pictures and even gossip. I have the best of the best of the best of the crop of writers but like I said, I’m taking a break from CC news magazine matters to blog,(one of my faV things to do).
I abandoned my blog a little. I’m sorry. It was not intentional, being editor of a magazine is nothing like I thought it would be, so much responsibility, it’s like having a new born,(enough of the mag oooh) this blog is about what’s been up and what will be on in a couple of days.

First up, you might not know Uchie the African Rockstar, but you should. He is talented, he is a fantastic singer and he is gorgeous. ok skip the gorgeous part cos he is now taken, his wedding held on the 20th of march in Abuja and it was well attended by the coolest of the coolest in the capital, the two love birds have been together forever and we are happy they made it, we wish them a happy happy life and many many healthy kids, not too many sha, we are in a recession.

THE HAPPY COUPLE


Line up for this weekend…..

Slu….ush Party in Abuja – Friday march 26th 2010 with Mr Eldee of ‘isityourmoney’ fame…

Jesse jags album launch – Saturday march 27th 2010


Abuja is agog, watch this space….....

In Abuja.... HOW TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

I came to Abuja reluctantly but falling in love with it happened very fast. I Craved the Fast paced life of the ultimate Cosmopolitan city in Nigeria, Lagos, but life had other plans for me. Its hard not to love Abuja. its clean, it quiet, its safe and in here hides the proverbial golden fleece, because here, with hardwork, vision and determination you can achieve in a few short months what it takes others longer time to achieve. Ok, a bit farfetched; maybe luck, knowing the right people, getting a good contract can put you in the right path to Success whether financial, political or emotional.

I didn’t Get Lagos, but I got my dream job, working in PR, Advertising and Events……. This set the ball rolling and in 3 years I had set up my own PR/Events Firm, White Rabbit Concept Ng. Abuja was an emerging market and the need for a dynamic firm like that came at just the right time, if I do say so myself…… I enjoyed my job tremendously and worked with the most enthusiastic people the industry had to offer here in Abuja, Lagos and around the country. It was in the cause of running the Firm that I realize that there was another need in the life of people that live here. A Guide!

If there is one thing I know about the city, it’s that people migrated to Abj from all over and the underlying reason is to earn a living. This translates to, NO TIME. Bankers who close at 9pm,monday to Monday; NGO Workers who are constantly travelling, Civil Servant who leave the office straight home and students who are stashed away in Gwagwalada. Most importantly, the international community who crawling around without a guide is one of the scariest notions for them. You will be surprised at how ‘where to buy a birthday cake’ or ‘where to listen to a jazz band’ is a very important question in this city.

CITY CRAWLER was borne out of this need. I decided, well I have these information, why not put it out there to help people and make their life much easier. The Guide started as Facebook notes, then the CC Blog and soon to Start CC on Radio. But on Saturday the 13th of March, we unveiled the cover of the 1st issue of City Crawler News-Magazine, a 12 page, newspaper formatted magazine which we intend to publish weekly.

We appreciate the tremendous support we have received so far on the Blog and we promise all our readers first rate blazing read, strictly original. we intend to keep our audience fascinated and our advertisers happy.

The Rise of the Abuja Scene........

(i wrote this a while ago but i just ressurected it to share with my blogerians)
ENJOY!

I am no writer and to be honest I have no right to write about what I write about, but I am a self acclaimed City Crawler and I have chosen the unique and beautiful city of Abuja to prowl, both day and night. I make it my busy body business to know exactly what is going down at every point in time in every sector. Ask me about Abuja, I know, because I am the City Crawler. Well as introductions go, this is my bit.

Lagos Lagos Lagos, no one is in competition with Lagos oh, it is a peculiar town and the people who live there are a peculiar people. There is a saying, that if u can survive in Lagos, you can survive anywhere, I agree. I can pick a true Lagos person out from a crowd, except for those ones that are naturally slowies (a word I came up with to describe, well slow people, dull people). Comparisons have been made several times, I wonder why, seeing that Lagos has almost 100years ahead of Abuja, as well as all the multinationals and opportunities available, a true cosmopolitan city .But Abuja is a fast developing hub. In the not so distant past only politicians, federal civil servants and university of Abuja students lived here. And mostly, not by choice but by necessity. Others came and went, contractors came got their papers signed and hurried back home. Land was cheap, transport was cheap, and living in Abuja was no biggie. Until suddenly, we started noticing holdups at traffic lights and that’s when it dawn that the people are coming......

There are many more reasons to visit the FCT and many more opportunities available than ever before. Whether u are taking a few days out or cozily settling in to building a life here, there is something to keep you happy LIVING in Abuja, as long as you want to and are open to possibilities. Nigerians have come from all over to settle here, they are migrating in droves because other major cities are already saturated and Abuja embraces every one as a true no man’s land, we are loving it. If u follow this blog you will see the evolution of Abuja from the eyes of the city crawler, I will make it my life purpose to bring the FCT to you, no matter the part of the country you are. The music scene, the fashion scene, recreation, hospitality, nightlife, politics, etc

My prediction is that Abuja city will become A major capital, not only of the country but also for everything else …….. this might seem a bit farfetched but it will feel very good seeing my prediction come to reality just like im sure Donald Duke of the CRS fame smiles to bed every night.

Move over Lagos......
