Go to Kaduna my brother. Kaduna and Kano is the hub of business development and operations in the North. Ibadan is sitting on old glory of days past, I am a yoruba man but Oyo state is light years behind Kaduna state in terms of services and job. If not for Lagos, Ibadan wouldn't be how it is today. If Ibadan could pick up it should have done so by virtue of it's closeness to Lagos but the other Southwest state is really making it difficult but Kaduna, except for the insecurity is a really developed city and ancient too.

Also understand that 75% of anything produced or imported to Nigeria is sold in the North. Apart from Ibadan and ogbomoso I'm not sure there is any other city in Oyo state that can boast of economic activity...I stand corrected.. but in Kaduna you have cities like Zaria, Kafanchan and Kaduna North especially is a hub of economic activity on it's own. And there is the closeness it has with Abuja which is really important.

Good morning house, pls I need your views and opinions on this subject matter.

Ok, I currently work with an FMCG Coy in Ibadan as an inventory officer where I earn N175k net on a monthly basis. It’s important to state here that I was living in Lagos prior to my getting this FMCG job.

So, I moved to Ibadan 2 months ago and currently put up with a friend in his apartment while I try to figure out how to move my stuffs to Ibadan on relocation basis. But along the line, I got a job with a big agricultural establishment affiliated to a multinational agricultural firm and I’m being offered N259k for a start excluding other benefits such as airtime(15k) which is different from my main salary.

Also note that the N259k is gross so my take home could be around N230k or thereabouts.

Now here’s the challenge. This new job is in Kaduna(the state capital) and I’ve not been to kaduna before. So, house what do you think about this. I need your candid, sincere and factual advice on this matter.

Thank you

Company is most likely Afex, Babbangona or Thrive agric. The base of operation is most likely Zaria that is where most of their staff are resident. Apart from recent surge in Kidnapping, Zaria is a peaceful town. The bandits usually have people they are targeting and I doubt you will make their list any time soon. Life itself is a risk

See your style. You are not even considering the insecurity in the North. They just kidnap 18 people in keke in that same Kaduna but because you want to play politics with someone's life you are denigrading Ibadan. Between Ibadan and OGUN, which is closer to Lagos but I sensed you know Ogun is an APC state and thus avoid stating that Ogun is the closest but chose Ibadan that is farther...


OP, better borrow yourself sense and stay in Ibadan for your own good. In the last 48 hours, they have kidnapped a lot of people in the North, even that Kaduna, 18 people were kidnapped from a keke yesterday... read nairaland front page.

have mercy on your family. I am not a Yoruba person o. I be Igbo boy but I will never talk like this man I quoted here.

How safe is the Abuja - Kaduna corridor?

You get money for ransome?

tosinhtml:


Hmm you are right on this security issues, I refuse to accept an offer from Babbangona some time ago because of the Northern Kaduna issues.

10 years ago, everybody would have advised the OP to take this golden opportunity.

deanoffaculty:

@KingSolium....
Kindly go for the 259k offer. Kaduna state is not bad. Don't allow FEAR to set in. Ohh! Bandits, Terrorists, kidnappers.......those horrific news you watch on Television/social media platforms and unpleasant news you listen to on radio, right? I understand! Zion is safe, it's only Northern Kaduna that I can't guarantee.
God no go leave you dude!!!

NaijaGoBetter20:
I think all these big coys in the north are now adding ransom to their staff salary. KD is not safe, I got a job that is ready to pay 2.5X of my current salary but when I considered the safety my response was capital NO.

So, stick to your 180k in Ibadan and eat "Amala sky" with peace of mind

stagger:


Take the Kaduna job. I order inputs from some of those agric companies and I am aware that their marketing agents cut a lot of side deals. I was once in a shop owned by one of these companies and one of their people made a call to preserve 250 bags of maize seedlings for a top politician.

Even an extra N500 for such an order puts extra N125,000 into your pocket. Not so?

EFGH:


Bro, if you miss the Kaduna offer, I don't know what I will describe you!

I currently base in KD and I must say that inasmuch as there is security challenges, but the candid truth is that most of those kidnappings incidents you often read about are don't mostly in the outskirts of the town.

So "Dan Allah" make you no miss this golden opportunity because of what you often read about KD.

IF I may guess, the organisation that gave you the offer should be Olam farm
located along kaduna to Abuja road

zikodem:
I am base here in kaduna, I will advise you to pick kaduna over Ibadan, I HV live in both city, cost of living in kaduna is relatively cheaper compire to Ibadan, security issue is not as bad as the media is painting it, within the metropolis which ur jobs is situated u hv no issue what so ever

McOluOmo:
when you get to KD lemme know, get to show you around





Guys wey no get girlfriend get peace of mind
