Feeling bored can be normal when you visit umuahia and know only a few places to go. It is even more difficult when you don't have money to stop at places you drive past, because you barely sit down in an eatery or a bar before a waiter approached, asking for what you will need. 

In this case you have to order something. Or else you'll be a recipient of attitude from a hungry waiter determined to please their employer.

So how do you make friends or chill out in umuahia when you don't have money to visit the bars or eatery?

              Come to GATE.

Gate is the central area in umuahia with the busiest activities. Recently before a terminal was built there for travellers, Gate used to be a market. It is where most travelers pass through when coming into umuahia or leaving, so this made it one of the standard places you can sit idly and watch people without anyone taking notice of you.

For the sharp shooters who likes making friends with the ladies, Gate is like the campus outside a university. There you will find any kind of lady you like, and if you're someone that's disciplined with a spec --a particular kind of lady-- just sit idly for a couple of minutes and your ideal woman is likely to pass your way, which leaves the option in your hands to go shoot your shot. Out of say five attempts, you just might be lucky to find that person that would resonate with your fun side, and make you feel at home even if you're visiting for the first time.

There's a hotel in umuahia where people normally visit to sit idly and watch the day pass. The hotel has a field at the back, with shades of short palm trees located in strategic positions. They have beers and any kind of drinks available, and the waitress there only approach you when you call them.

So one can actually go there, pull a chair and position it under a shade and relax without any waiter compelling you to purchase a drink if you want to stay there. 

This makes it one of the surest places to visit and chill. And naturally, in such a place one is likely to find cool, like minded people who just wants to sit on their own and spend the day. So when they come together, some persons are likely to exchange greetings in such quiet cozy settings, and that my friend is could be the beginning of a vivid acquaintance or friendship that would last for a while.
