I was hoping someone could help me with finding a good place to buy wedding rings in Abuja.

I know I could go to Wuse Marketer but I was hoping people new of any jewellery stores or someone who sells rings for both men and women in white gold?

I only moved to Abuja a few months ago and I am not very familiar with the shops here.

Thanks

I need some help please.

I have moved to Nigeria only four months ago with my husband and I am planning on starting a family.

Can my Nairaland Friends please advise me on which hospital is the best in Abuja for maternity services and where the hospital is in Abuja.

Thanks

Thank you to everyone so far who has given advice. I only have two weeks to go before I fly into Lagos and spend some time with my friend. I am very much looking forward to learning about another culture and hopefully making some new friends.

Just a few things I have noticed on this forum, not just my topic but many others, it seems the responses start off well and then some people get a little sensitive and before you know it the topic has become a slinging match between bloggers.

I think we all need to remember this forum is out here to help people and whilst I believe in freedom of speech and opinion, somethings are better left unsaid. So lets all just smile

@LAJ2K

It seems no one is actually willing to give you info on Australia and they just keep questioning your intentions.

So irrelevant of your visa I am an Aussie so hopefully can help. I live in Melbourne but i have visited a few times

Sydney is a very fast paced city. You either love it or prefer the more slower pace of Melbourne. Sydney has a beautiful waterfront called Darling Habour where you will find restauarants lined along the waterfront as well as some great bars and clubs. So I reccomend you head there for some fun and great eating.

Cargo @ Darling Harbour is a nice bar
Tank Nightclub also known as RnB Superclub is fantastic @ Bridge Lane, Sydney
There are heaps of clubs in Sydney

@Hamsters
Thanks so much for the link I will definitly take your advice on the magazine. I think when I land in Lagos i will probably jump straight on another plane to Abuja. So I will end up in Abuja first. The rock formations in Abuja look amazing! It sounds like Lagos is pretty full on so maybe I do need to venture back south after some time in the North and then hopefully drive back up.

@Suxes & @Justwise
I dont mind the questions, I can handle them , ask away

Thanks nanidee

Well I land in Lagos so I may just have to stay there for a while and soak up the atmoshpere, i cant wait!!

@Tamita
I know I sound very naive but you will be amazed by the lack of tourist information on the web.

And i didnt want to do the whole Lonely Planet thing and look like a REAL tourist

Guess I will venture to Lagos and go with the flow

@candylips
is there anything specific in lagos. Like a really good club? or place to hang out? or attraction wise?

I am staying with a friend who lives there and I am planning on spending my time mainly in Abuja but I will have time to travel around. I am sure my friend knows where to take me but I thought if I knew of a few places then they wouldn't have to stress on what I might want to see.

Hi All

I am heading to Nigeria soon and would love some ideas on what I should see and do over there?

Ideas on:
sights
taking in the culture
clubs
places to eat
etc

Thanks

Hi All

Are there any waxing salons that do Brazilian waxing in Nigeria? Mainly looking in Lagos or Abuja?

Thanks

This number habit is becoming something else.

Not sure what you mean?

Just joined so I can reply to this thread. I know the thread is a little old but it's actually an issue I am facing now.

At first everyone seemed so open minded and then a few people have bombarded this thread with horrible comments to the poor woman who started it. May I hope that she is still with her man and very happy together.

I am Australian and dating a Nigerian man. I am going to see the country and meet the family shortly. I understand there will be a few people who may not like what they see and may even express their opinions LOUDLY, but I really hope for the majority that I will be accepted.

I have always lived a life where colour and race means nothing to me. And call me naive but I would like to think that there are people in this world who also think the way I do.

I am happy to take the criticism but would love to hear on people's thoughts about this again in the current year of 2010.
