Pls, for those know about Oron, what is the life like there?
A friend got a call from his brother to come and work in Maritime Academy Oron. But he is sceptical about it.

Though, here in Ilorin his salary hardly lasts 3 days before he is broke again. He already built his house and married.

In Oron, he will be appointed as irregular staff, as they call it, though, he will later be converted to regular staff after some time.

There is no much difference between irregular and regular staff salaries.

The question now is should he go, is 85 thousand naira salary worth it in Oron? For those who know about maritime academy, pls, your input is needed.

E.g. the actual salary of level 8, security, social life, cost of living and quality of life, hostility from the indigens etc. I forgot to say there might be accommodation.

FTC for the first time since I've been on ñairaland. Oya Lala make I send my aza

I have stayed in a more cosmopolitan of uyo in akwa ibom state for a year and ibcan confidently say that somebody can survive well with a salary of 50k per month if u are not the over spending type.
Cost of living is very low compared to places like dLagos and port Harcourt.
And I believe iOon will still be cheaper than uyo, being a surbub town in akwa ibom.
So if the job is assured, u can tell your friend to go.

Oron is calling you go and answer the call with immediate alarcrity...

I would advise him to go get the job.

Life is all about Risk. He can test the Oron climate and moreso, collecting 40k and embark on house project, Omoooo, he thick oooo with this present naija.
Going to Oron will open his eyes for more business potentials like crayfish and fish business.

Damnnn niggar
Isoright

Oron is better things cheap

Hmm...both salaries are low. Things to consider are: prospects/opportunities in his current environment vs. Oron, career prospect/growth, company culture, and additional overhead cost.

You stated he has built his house in Kwara, so that could be an edge either for him to stay or go depending on his preference. He could rent out the house to augment his income in Oron however, for how long is he getting a secured accommodation in Oron?

Government worker in Ilorin,irregular staff at oron.. Government work is more secured don't let your village people confuse u

if there is security of job, he can go.
His is wife also working and does he plan to move them or just visit once in a while. money shouldn't be the only deciding factor here.

auto correct don change ORON to IRON....lol

Tired of seeing these sort of topics all the time....Mods should stop being stupid and bringing such topics to front page.... It's annoying seeing grown ass men who can't make decisions for themselves

You wear the shoe...you know where hurts not us

Let me give you my suggestion not advice as an ex student of the Academy. Note that the town is not cheap due to the manner sea farers who school there spend money.

If he will be given accommodation inside the school then he can take the offer. Houses outside the school is minimum of 20k monthly.

The prices of goods and services is even considered higher than uyo. The market he'll find things quite expensive compared to what he gets in ilorin.

The Oron town electricity is abysmal, so terrible he'll have to depend charging his phone in the school which runs regular generator during work hour.

He can take the job if they'll give him accommodation inside the school, else that money will vanish within two weeks on managing levels...

Note that the Academy is the most you can get in Oron since there are no sensible companies.

We are following

Where una dey see these vacancies na

Less than $150 a month. May God save us oo.

My only Question is Where una de see all these Jobs from?

I will advise him to make sure of the terms ooo. You cant risk it all to become an irregular staff which means you're on probation and can be cut off after about a month or two.
Job security is important.
BUT!!!! IF he knows what he brings to the table and is confident he can scale through, then he should go for the 85k job

Ok

THERE IS NO BASIS FOR COMPARISON,MY ONLY PRAYER IS THAT ENJOYMENT SHOULD NOT KILL YOU IN ORON.
FRESH FISH
FRESH BABES
CHEAP HOUSE
ACCESS ROAD TO UYO
AQUA/MARINE LIFE.


OP JUST DONT FORGET YOUR PARENTS

Yesterday, it was Ibadan vs Kaduna or shey nah Kano..

Today it’s ilorin vs Oron..

Stayed in both places.

Illorin is cheaper. Less wahala. Less spending.

Run down to Oron. In fact there is a bonus to that 85k which they are yet to tell you.... Calabar babes, I wish you luck bro

In this case Oron lo le se oh

Oron.

Can't remember the last time someone called that name beside me.


I only use to hear about Oron while reading those old English textbooks.

Oron in Calabar.

Edet lives in Calabar. Etc

Life In Oron Is Cool And Lifely, Huspitality Is Ok Than Ilorin.
