go for it. i served in katsina and can tell u that the violence doesnt spread there. they're either too conservative or the christian:muslim ratio is too low for them to bother any violence. any how. its kinda safe, just dont chase their chicks, or mis-waka. you should be alright. if ure posted to katsina town, try finding a place in kofar kaura layout or better still the GRA. thats about it, oh dont forget fadama hotel for football matches and beer. and maybe goma hotels for something else. good luck. p.s it's a dry town so try catch ur groove small-small |

I have never been to katsina, but personally, i would not go to the north to live. By the way, has the company provided accomodation for you, or you would be the one to search for it yourself? If you must go, then my advice is not to live in an area dominated by the trouble-causers. (do i hear you say how would you know them?) Do your research well, and find out areas that are highly prone to the usual northern crises, avoid them and get a place where a lot of non-northerners live. I served in Kaduna, and i was shocked to hear that the particular area i served in was seriously attacked in the last crises. Reason? - high domination of the trouble causers. So my dear, my advice to you, Do your research well, so that you do not end up sorry. |

@keleto Dont ignore the advise of your parent, they love you. But above all, God love you more and He knows what your parent dont know. God knows the future, i will advice you to go to your creator, fast and pray to seek His approval. if you get go and your mind is at peace, go to your parent and tell them sir/ma, my God, your God says i should go. you can be in Lagos and die or be killed at your prime age. Let God lead the way. And when you get there finally dont forget God, the earth is the Lord's and its fulness thereof. EXPERIENCE PEACE. It is well with you as you decide. |

Well, i live in katsina. I was posted here in November last year. There was some violence here during the election period but that was related to the killing of a youth by a trigger happy policeman but the police and the army acted in time to prevent a major disaster. There was post-election violence in other Katsina cities too like Funtua, Daura and the rest but in the state capital there wasn't and the violence wasn't a massacre like in Kaduna and Kano. I think you can consider taking the offer as Katsina (historically) isnt known for violence. Just be prayerful (like I am). I'm still looking to leave here sha because I'm in the north but violence is very low in Katsina state capital. |

''Its easier to run when you are alone'' I LAUGH IN SWAHILI. My brother, please take up the job and convince your parents to give you the parental blessings to succeed where you are going. It is not good to go without you convincing your parents. It may backfire. When you are, always make sure you call them regularly to put their minds at rest and always be on the look out for information that may suggest an unrest is likely to happen and take actio. God be with you. |

From a concerned person Arewa Republic |

MY BRODA IF U WANT TO BE USED FOR SUYA , THEN GO TO KASTINA. HOPE U HAVE WRITTEN YOUR WILL ![]() ![]() |
Re: Kastina Issue, Pls Nairalanders Advice Me by Nobody: 11:46am On Jun 02, 2011 |
I will advice you to take the job. #1. Long job search #2. You are married #3.katsina is relatively peaceful #4.your wife's n.c.e means a flexible teaching job #5.There are enough tips on this thread on how to settle down peacefully. #6. U just received an open door that can open more doors. The question is do you wish and pray for the negative. In My Opinion if Kano calls with a lucrative post I would go and live among southerners. Take Apata in Jos 4 example,no malo man can cross Alikazaure street to enter Apata and cause trouble,the ibo men and other tribes will roast them alive. |

I dont av dat experience though but With wat i experienced 2days ago and 2day (both tyms, attempted murder)- 1st, due 2 communicatn gap, someone suggested d oda shld call HAUSA man 2 speak, rather he felt insulted on hearing HAUSA, he approached his truck & brot out 2 diff matchets attempting 2 strike. the boy in questn shld be abt 16yrs 2nd, anoda one was told 2 repark his truck, obstructing d entrance, he also did d same thing too. Devil Incanate I tell u. Mere correcting them, they become violent. You really need d grace of Baba God iF u must go oo. Also, pls be very careful oo & always av enough cash on u in case u av 2 move fast or ATM as d case may be. |

Re: Kastina Issue, Pls Nairalanders Advice Me by ypad: 1:01pm On Jun 02, 2011 |
I have stayed in the north b4, there is no place in the north that is safe. You can't tell what 'll spring up the next violence in the north. I 'll advice you commit this matter to the Great GOD whose name alone is JEHOVAH. Let HIM direct your steps. |
Re: Kastina Issue, Pls Nairalanders Advice Me by emmke(m): 1:10pm On Jun 02, 2011 |
funny. I wish we could swap places with this guy. I work in lagos and i detest the place so much. Such Rowdy, over-populated place. I'd definitely take my chances in katsina if given the chance. I mean is not as if lagos is exactly safe. |
Re: Kastina Issue, Pls Nairalanders Advice Me by olusu: 1:13pm On Jun 02, 2011 |
[color=#000099]bros take the job and u'll be okay. I served in Taraba in 2009 and i got job in Lagos but was transferred to Yola- Adamawa State. I was latter moved to Taraba and i'm okay. The only thing is that get accommodation where the elites are living like GRA and do not follow there girls or be too religious. U'll surely come back to south. Above all, be vigilant and prayerful. Love u and God be with u. About ur parents, convince them to pray for u and mind u nobody can give u N20,000 EVERY MONTH.[/color] |
Re: Kastina Issue, Pls Nairalanders Advice Me by anointedf(m): 1:24pm On Jun 02, 2011 |
A friend of mine worked with Dangote in the late '90s, the salary relatively OK but the guy is not settled. Each day he leaves for the office, always move around with all Certificates, testimonials, results and vital credentials. They could set the whole place on fire, he is ready to loose anything but the credentials. Imagine the level of insecurity and danger. Bros pray very well and if you are convinced, fine. For me, I dont have any business in the north. |
Re: Kastina Issue, Pls Nairalanders Advice Me by drgica74: 2:08pm On Jun 02, 2011 |
Well, just use your first salary to buy coffin and keep. In form your closest friend where the coffin is, in case. |

Re: Kastina Issue, Pls Nairalanders Advice Me by Nobody: 2:33pm On Jun 02, 2011 |
my guy lets be truthful i did my nysc in the east and have been in the west just got to the north some years back. when it comes to security of life and properties the north is the safest go ask any southerner that has ever been to the north. when i was in the east once its 8pm the whole city just goes indoors ppl are afraid of the night there.sha in the west is not too bad, but let me tel u this even to police that are in the south make u feel unsafe once you see them in the night .but in the north u can move around freely any time of the day or night without any fear.wont lie to u about the violence that happened in the north but its always politically motivated.the ppl are mostly peace loving ppl its the politicians.and don’t forget the northern also fear the mossob and the opc.i’v been round 9ja and and so far the north is quit safe. |
Re: Kastina Issue, Pls Nairalanders Advice Me by gungume: 3:17pm On Jun 02, 2011 |
Iam an indigene of ktn my advice to you is take the job nothing will happen to you, we are living peacefully and we have christian that are indigene of ktn state especially those in malunfashi,kafur,musawaLGAs. Any body advising you not to take the job is the great enemy of your progress. Be wise enough! |
