I'm currently serving in jos plateau state and I can bodky say it's the best, the weather is perfect, food is cheap and fresh, the locals are nice, never knew the north central could be this fun, the days of crisis and boko haram is long gone in plateau though there are still little skirmishes btw herdsmen and farmers but plateau is dope

How much is your PPA paying? how much is the state paying? what about accommodation?

North is cool
borno is very sweet and serene

pls I advise u to come and see how our north is

I work.in an NGO, they don't pay but gibr allowance based on outreaches and seminars they organize, they also gave me accommodation, many states including plateau don't pay.

Sokoto is one of the best places to be save for the harsh weather conditions. The locals here are very nice and honest, more than you can get in the south where i am from, or in the east. I can guarantee that most things you have heard about the North are nothing but heresy, so just have an open mind. Avoid Crisis prone states and if eventually you are to come to the North, stay around your fellow Corp members.

It's very far and coupled with harsh weather condition,i heard that most locals dont understand english so conversing with them will be a herculean task...how is social life there,(like dating,clubbing)

Yes it is very far..like end of Nigeria lol. Harsh weather conditions yes, very harsh and confused sometimes. As for the locals understanding English, I stay in the Capital city and as such i have never had an encounter. Moreover the language sounds cool and quite easy to learn. Surprisingly, there are a good number of Christians here too.

Social Life here is above average, as nobody really cares about what you do with yourself or your money. We have nice hotels and clubs, you can get alcohols at your disposal.

Dating here, like i said nobody really cares about what you do, but i think it would be easier to date a fellow corp member or maybe from your church.

To add to it, beauty here is nothing as you will come to find that alot of their girls are quite beautiful naturally even without struggling. Most of their guyz are quite handsome too.

Everything i have said here is based on my experience in the capital city, i dnt have first hand information on other places.

NB: They have some major towns too besides the capital. Also note that cases of police harrassment is almost non-existent. Just do your thing and mind your business.

Brother please don't ignore this advice, I beg you with the name of everything you hold dear. When to comes to having a wonderful service year.... northern states should be the last in ur list. Please, they're other better States in South South, South East, South West...choose from them.... don't come here. Read!
