I'll be brief and simple with my narrative, I promise.
To the glory of God, I have just graduated from KOGI STATE UNIVERSITY (KSU) with a 2.2 CGPA in English and Literary Studies.

As a hustling guy ( now in my late 20's), it was God's grace that helped me pull through my studies in that, I lost my only surviving parent while I was about starting my studies. And that made me had it rough all through my stay in the University.

Now, I have successfully graduated and don't want to be entrapped in this state, Kogi, any longer. I'm pretty sure you all know what is up here in kogi state; everything appears so gloomy and I seriously need to be totally out of it at least, for the time being.

Since I'm just a hustler with no ready relation to nudge me, I seriously want to use the NYSC period as an avenue to get out of this State. I so much desire to stay back wherever I'm eventually posted to for Service; I need a place with a lot of job opportunities with respect to my course of study, English and literature. And that's where the knot is. Which region do you think is appropriate for me to achieve this desire of mine?

Some persons I shared this with specifically advised me to move up North East; they suggested States like Gombe and Bauchi, even Maiduguri while others suggested Ibadan or Lagos.

This is where I need your advice and suggestions because as it stands now, despite the fact I want to register early, I am helpless and wouldn't know the right states to select for NYSC when we'll be eventually directed to start registration early next year. And I just need to plan well against that day.

To you, which states with more job opportunities in Nigeria, do you think I could choose for my NYSC and also continue my life there afterwards?

P.S
I'm also a computer technician and will like to set up my business in the event of not getting anything to lay hands on after service. BUT NOT IN KOGI STATE!

Please, advise me.

"Strong" 2.2

Congrats on your graduation. The elders are coming with their opinions.

Great! That's my Alma Mata. Are you repping Ocheja or dangana.
Lagos, Kaduna, Jos are OK.

I just don't know how to advise people online as there will always be someone with a "better" opinion.


Las las, I don't believe in "working" this NYSC thing though. It's part of the adventure and that is what makes it interesting. Let life lead you wherever it pleases - all in the grand scheme of things.

For what it's worth, I was posted to Yobe in my time.

GreeneLamb01:
ocheja. Thanks

confirm!

OK

Sambisa Forest fa! We kuku dey here dey wait for you...

You are a graduate of Kogi State University and I am guessing you are a Kogite, NYSC has a default posting of 80 percent kogites to the core north(my own observation though). If you want to get the best from your service year, please commit the whole process to God and watch him take the wheel. I assure you, God would surely connect you to your destiny helpers. Best wishes.

Abuja state

Serve anywhere. Where you serve does not guarantee anything in naija.

Don't choose Lagos if you don't have someone there, else you will regret it.

North East : borno. Tank me later.

Borno state

Kaduna, Kebbi,Gombe, Jos and Bauchi state...


Wish u all the best...

Go to Abuja, in a location where u know it's not expensive to live in. Considering North,get vaccine shots before going to serve in the North. Lagos would have been better but you need to double your hustle and be ready to sleep less and always ready to wake up early to avoid traffics while going to work. Good luck in your journey, lots to encounter, just be confident in yourself.

Choose either of the following:

Kebbi, borno, sokoto, kwara, kogi, Abia, Edo, enugu, Calabar, kastina, zamfara, kaduna, imo , oyo , Ondo, ekiti, etc . And thank me later.


There are a lot of goldmine in those state.

KSU. Useless school. I was in Ocheja hall

Akwa Ibom and thank me later. you will think you are in the abroad

Do not work your posting but dedicate that one year totally to God and ministry. Maybe a church but most importantly to humanity and soul winning. In these period, stay focused on the word of God and meditate daily on where you want to be after service. Pray without ceasing and lay out in prayers for hastened settlement.

After which, you will see the miraculous workings of God over your future.

I didn't read all you typed but I'm suggesting you serve in Bornu or Maiduguri...

If you have a laptop, I will advise you to avoid the busy states and go to a less busy state. Why, you may ask? The reason is so you can use the 12 months to learn a skill online. It could be web/mobile development, copywriting, UI/UX or any other skill that is on demand. By the end of 12 months, you should have mastered the skill enough to get a good-paying remote job or become a freelancer.
Start from YouTube and check out courses there. Have a feel of each and know each one that suits you. Head to Udemy or Lynda and pay for courses. They are quite cheap. Less than $50 in most cases. Follow the course religiously and build your portfolio as you go.

This is the advice I will give myself if I'm to repeat my NYSC again.

Why not go with the flow? You never can tell what life has in store for you

Commit ur ways into God's hand. Pray for guidance and direction.

anywhere

Lagos Lagos Lagos, PHC ... Finish ...

Jigawa state Nigeria at least they pay

Last time I Checked, Posting of corps members was done at the discretion of the NYSC.
Abi is your case different?
