Served in Dutse a decade ago. Camp was in Gumel. Can't forget the extreme cold in Gumel, and extreme heat in Dutse. Cool place, low crime rate as you have highlighted. Also met some really nice indigenes. However, couldn't shake off the feeling that I was a sitting duck, with occasional snide remarks by some people. There was also obvious bias for muslims in the workplace. And in the heat of the first Boko haram attack in Wudil, Kano State, through which the only road to Kano, and hence our exit, passed through, I saw majority of the people rejoice that Christians were being attacked. I didn't waste time in leaving the place after service. They (northerners) are all the same basically. I think the reason Jigawa is calm is because they are about 97% Muslim, so other religions tend to comply with their taste in dressing, mannerism etc to avoid trouble. No disrespect intended. 14 Likes |

l love your use of words, OP.
You should be teaching English.
Also, consider freelance writing. Nigeria has separate worlds within it. We are worlds apart per ethnicity. 2 Likes |

I am from Adamawa but I served in Jigawa. Honestly I was surprised with some of their lifestyles. I was just asking myself if was in northern Nigeria or another world, especially about the child marriage. During my time 2014/2015 I was invited by 14yrs old boy to his wedding. I was kind of freezed God bless sule Lamido. Northern Nigeria need leaders like him. The infrastructural development and Free education was what his state needed the most that time and he did it. 13 Likes |

The long awaited wedding day finally showed up. The staff of the Junior Secondary School didn't disappoint. We showed up to support our own and wish him a happy married life. It was a colourful event and even though I wasn't in support, there was absolutely nothing I could do. The boy's father was quite pleased when he saw us and gave us a hearty welcome. Suffice it to say, we had fun. The boy was no where to be found the next couple of weeks and I understood perfectly. He's a family man now, hence no point attending school anymore. #to be continued# 26 Likes 1 Share |

TheExecutioner: The definition of civilization can be subjective. Don't have that superiority complex. To u, u may claim to be civilized, but to the western world, u are a Bush man and a backward person. What u tend to civilization may not be civilization to some other people. People you look at to even be uncivilised may actually look at you as an uncivilised person. That is life. Listen to Chimamanda Adichi's Danger of a single story. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Etimocracy: judging from the time and dates contained, I can tell you're 18c1. I've been to you PPA, mine is close by, Buji to be precise. and I'm also 18c1 As regards to the marriage thing, I believe they do that cos they've got everything figured out in there own way. try making inquiry and you'll get to know that that boy already has a farm and probably a bigimi (a fully grown cow). FYI one of such cows even in the north here can go for nothing less than 150k and such cows are in pairs. so if he's to sell those cows here in Kano or kaduna state, he's going home with nothing less than 300k, imagine if such cows are brought down south. the bottom line is that this guys are rich in there own little way. And one of the reasons behind such is to prevent the kids from indecency. they'll rather marry off their 15 years old daughter than watch her jump from one man to another. They rather encourage their sons to be father's than watch them become baby daddy. That seems fare to to considering the level of indecency in our society today. it's not like I'm trying to rationalize their way of life but even those down south, if you've got the basic things needed to survive in your environment, the next thing is marriage. for example a young man after serving his oga and the said oga establishing the said boy and business begin to bloom. what the next step in life if not marriage? 19 Likes 2 Shares |

"Jigawa, Jigawa, Corpers no like J-i-g-a-w-a" that was our interpretation of the sound of the military bugle used to call us to the parade ground! That was mad fun for us. Our time, orientation camp was in Gumel, Gumel local government area- i think Government Science Sec Schl Gumel. The illetracy level in Jigawa is embarrassing. I will always remember Jigawa as the poorest state in Nigeria. #GoodMemoirs OP 5 Likes 1 Share |
