You didn't get the point of that post did you? Lalasticlala likes pushing any post with snake to front page, so to get his attention you must call snake.

To be honest, I haven't seen a snake in Kano, all the snakes I have seen some far is on Nairaland

This might sound as a shock against the popular belief people have. Well, I will be passing out on Friday, 7th April, 2017. Having been in NYSC scheme for a year, I think I am in the best position to make my analysis. Well, so many persons believe that Abuja and Akwa Ibom state will be their first and second choice for NYSC, but the truth is that, Kano state is actually better than the duo state. Here are my humble submission.

State Allowance
Unlike what it used to be before, Akwa Ibom is no longer paying the N10,000 monthly allowance to corps members, same as Abuja, and hence there is no need going to these states. While N5,000 in Kano is equivalent to N20,000 in Abuja and Akwa Ibom, i wonder why anyone will not go for Kano. Kano state has started paying corps member, they started with this Batch A who are about to pass out. Hence, since N5000 in Kano is equivalent to N20,000 in Abuja and Akwa Ibom, choosing the two state is to live a life of no savings during the service year.

Place of Primary Assignment
If you are looking for a good place to be during your service year, then Kano state should be your first choice. With lots of industries using NYSC labour, Kano state has proven to absorb more corps members than most other states. As a commercial city, Kano has become a home to numerous corps members who have gotten a work or gotten themselves in different business while serving their country.

Cheap Food
Let's just say that, a sachet of water is still sold for N5 in Kano, a cup of beans sold for N40 in Kano, these prices is what you will never get in Abuja or Akwa Ibom. My colleagues serving in both states have been crying, that though some PPA's pays N10k, it becomes useless as the purchasing power of money is low in the two states. I still buy my tomatoes for N40, pepper N10, and Onions N10, these items will be in good quantity except if you are serving in Sabon gari where Igbo's and Yoruba's dominate for business purposes. Things are relatively cheap over here and there is no way your N19800, won't remain at the end of the month.

Security
For one year that I have been in Kano, I can tell you that we have enjoyed a peaceful atmosphere and everything has been going well. The NYSC officials has been great in the affairs of corps members. You are highly respected by the people for being a corps member and they regard and respect your security. Just go with your I.D card and you are always safe anywhere.

Development
So many persons who have not being to kano think that the city is not developed simply because it is located in the north. The reverse is the case. The truth is that, Kano is more developed than Akwa Ibom ( I have been to this state severally), Enugu, and other states. The infrastructural development in Kano beats that of kaduna, so feel free, you are coming to the biggest city in the North.

Light
Well, let me say that Kano State enjoy constant light. And it is even better when serving in the village. Some corps members do not pay for light, while others pay as low as N100. Unlike what is obtainable in Abuja and Akwa Ibom. My colleague in Akwa Ibom and Abuja always complain about light, though it may depend on which part of the state they are. But even if you stay in Kano village, just be assured that you will always have light.

From the above reasons, I urge 2017 batch A prospective corps members to avoid making mistakes their colleagues make by choosing Akwa Ibom or Abuja and end up crying on the long run. N19800 is too little to depend on, or even paying higher amount for nothing. You are choosing Abuja, can you afford the transportation? Abuja is not for N19800 corpers. You are choosing Akwa Ibom, can you feed yourself for a month with N19800 and still have a savings?.
If you finally make it to kano, and you are posted to the city, send me an email, I will link you up to a good PPA, especially those that would be posted to Gwale Local Government. Thanks and have a nice service year.

Don't mind him, there is nothing called Sharia law for you. It's rare for the indigene let alone you.

There are millions of happy people in Kano, those that wish to stay forever, though I have finished, I am still in Kano for a short time to enjoy the beauty of it before I leave for good.

The only thing is that you must dress decently

The Difference Between BITCOINS & MLM, PONZI, GET RICH QUICK SCHEME...

NairaOMM ... nairaomm.com

BITCOIN in a nutshell is a Virtual Currency. Currency you can use on the internet and also convert it into physical currency. Now lots of people think that bitcoin is what you invest in and make money. Or double your money sort of scheme. My dear its Outrightly a No.

For Example you have an account with Zenith bank. When your act is opened you are given your account number. Same way when you open an account with Bitcoin Top Exchangers like Blockchain, local bitcoins, coinbase, btc-e, bitstamp etc a Wallet address will be assigned to you. Now Blockchain is your bank and the wallet address issued to you by blockchain when you opened an act with them is your account number.

In Zenith bank, you use your act number to receive, store and send funds. Same way blockchain, coinbase etc allows you use the wallet Address issued to you to receive funds, store and send it out. Now your getting it let's narrow it down a bit. You go to Shoprite make your purchase and pay with your bank ATM card is same way you need something online and then buy from a seller who accepts bitcoin & then pay the seller with bitcoin.

Lots of people always think that at the mention of bitcoins you are talking about Ponzi or get rich quick scheme no. MMM was accepting people to invest with naira payment and also allowed their members invest with bitcoins. Before MMM or any notable ponzi in Nigeria came on board Bitcoin has been in existence.

So my dear now that I have cleared you a bit know that over 2,000 stores in USA, 1,000 firms in China, many services in India, Germany, Italy accept bitcoin as payment mode for goods or service.

Bitcoin is not a Ponzi neither is it a money making Scheme, Bitcoin is a crypto/virtual currency which you can use to trade anything you want on the internet. To buy/sell bitcoins visit nairaomm.com ( 08087142616 - WhatsApp )

Mrphysics, we all know you are being threatened. Sorry dear. Next time you don't create thread about how kano state is this or that. undecided

I can see you have even deleted the thread( i mean the thread you opened so as to share your experience when you were serving in kano).

Next time , don't mess with aggressive people


Because everyone is sharing their experience in different state as a corps member doesn't mean you should share you northern experience, I could also remember one Hausa guy threatening you on that same thread. Sorry dear. Shit happens

I never deleted any thread, you really don't know how Nairaland works. As new threads are created, the old ones keep going down, so if you want to check that thread, google it and you will see it.

regarding your baseless and stupid claim, I need not reply you because I find it a waste of time. It's so shameful of you to make sure claims.
