WEEKEND CHILL OUT ZONES IN ABUJA

 It's the weekend guys and I'm sure u wondering what to do and where to go. While I could arrange something for u if u in my location I guess, depends on the Activities that interest you.
My current Location -Abuja, Nigeria.
I don't reside here but I'm just around and to me I guess Abuja is really not all that if you think of it compare to LAGOS (where my heart belongs)
Abuja is a small political community so there aren't really places to have extreme fun like Lagos. But they are chilling zones to relax with friends and plenty gardens (like alot of that).it's a very cool and comfy zone.. No much holdups and not too many people around so things are still  in order compare to Lagos. Would be listing like 10 places that I think if you in Abuja you should try and visit I don't think u would regret it.
