Spec me things to do in...Abuja

Abuja. The federal capital of Nigeria.

I'm stuck here for a few days with nothing to do and can't find anything exciting to do here at all. Internet is limited too so can't do too much browsing to find things either.

Nothing wildly expensive (i.e. a hot air balloon ride - although I don't think they do that here anyway...), also nothing like 'go and find Boko Haram' because I won't do that.

Fire away! (Maybe a bad choice of words...)

Hide. I'd hide under the bed. Actually no that won't matter. You're going to get kidnapped on the way to the airport irrespective what you do. That's what happens in Nigeria. It said so on the news one time.

With that in mind make your peace with the world and any deity you happen to follow.

What on earth possessed you to plan a trip that featured 3 spare days in Nigeria?

Nothing wrong with that. Every country is interesting and has things to see.

I'm guessing he was contacted by a prince with an offer he couldn't refuse.

I've seen those programms. The ones where someone pays for your trip and you have to wait at your hotel for several days until they contact you to carry a package back home.

It never ends well...

Don some skin tight silver shorts, a pair of chaps and a pink cowboy hat then go for a mince about town.

Message people in the UK telling them you need help with a rather large transfer of money.

Does it annoy you that when people mention your country the first thing that pops into everyone's heads is the scamming?

Nah, I'm pretty sure there's a whole bunch of countries that are utter toilets.
