Some years back, I found myself in this situation also. I was lost upstairs, never been to the north and here I was posted to Kebbi, a land where animals and humans are equal. But at the end, I found myself boarding a bus back to civilization and swore never to go back. Not trying to discourage you guys, its fun if you wanna catch fun. Enjoy the extreme cold and extreme heat. Its an experience of a lifetime. Fall inlove with your fellow corper and you won't feel the sufferings in kebbi. My little advice.

i can bet my *** kebbi is the safest northern state in 9ja, d thing is nothing good or bad happens in kebbi, the place is just there, i served there 2011/2012 batch A, my advice prepare vry well 4 d cold, whe travelin pass abj to sokoto or jst go sokoto direct from anywhre. Arugugun is jst 45mins or so 4rm sokoto. Safe journey people. If u r a catholic look 4 nacc, they will take good care of u,in and out of camp

People here live a very simple life are very friendly willingly teach u their language and u don't need much money to live here

For the social life, let me categorically tell u the social life here is practically zero! kebbi is not like Lagos where u carry ur babe to the nearest cool joint or where u buy beer off the streets. ( Though when u get to ur ppa, ur senior corpers will gist u about where and where they get to unwind and get their green bottles, but it's not an open secret every body knows.)
But I think this dearth of social life is compensated for by the general cheap prices of goods in the market
