Serving in Edo State its not easy as cost of food and other services are too costly and the State Governor Doesn't pay Coppers for the effort and achievement. For me I serve with one of the private universities, Igbinedion Univ. Okada. They don't Pay Moorch just 8k and the Students of IUO are so extravagant that the people of the community are now making money from both copper and the students. But truth is that we live like kings to compare with copper in other locations Like; Lodging in Crown Estate, Univ. Generator at night, Pipe bore water, Free wireless internet, plantain, IUO student can be generous and rude atimes

Am presently serving In edo.true the state govt aint paying any stipend yet but there have been promises by the state govt and this has been approved by the peoples governor,so in no distant time there would be state stipend.and living in edo I̲̅s cheap so long you not in benin the capital city which I̲̅s peculiar to every capital city life there I̲̅s on d high side.where I am for my ppa you need not spend much on feeding and housing because its cheap.and then another reason edo I̲̅s a better choice I̲̅s its proximity to the east west and north,so if you live in lagos its close to home and if you live in abuja or onitsha its close to home.so edo I̲̅s the best choice you have got.and I forgot to say that the govt intends giving 10k as stipends or ild rather say salary.lol! So edo it should be man
