Moving Over To Kano, What Should I Expect? by Michelle70(m): 5:05pm On Sep 15, 2022
So i go this job in Kano, the pay is actually 2 times more than my current job.

My major problem is the language, since i cant speak Hausa or fulani, will it be hard for me to communicate with the populace?

I do not enjoy telling people that i do not speak their language.
I had it tough when i was in Anambra.
whenever u want to buy something, the cashier will first speak igbo.

Also what is life like in Kano (the capital), as someone from the Niger delta region, what kind of life should i expect over there?

Kano is a very nice place to be. Cost of living is relatively cheap however, be prepared to pay high rent because cost of accommodation is high in Sabon gari except you want to stay in house populated area where the rent is cheap but any slight provocation, they will use you as suya. Just find a house in Sabon Gari and you will sometimes forget you are in the north. Enough beer, women, suya, clubbing etc. You will end up living the town.

i just do not want people speaking hausa to me on daily basis.
Trust me, i have seen northern people in Rivers state that do not understand pidgin.

At least in Anambra, once they know u are not igbo, they will change to pidgin.

I cannot enter a bike and drop cos the driver doesnt understand pidgin na.

Nothing to worry about, just find people who speak English or pidgin, when you need help.

Humans are humans, stay away from religious conversations tho..

Northerners mind their business so you're good. If you a southerner, get ready for worse sun, when it's not raining.

Don't worry about the language, some people can speak English, but try to stay in the city, there are many educated people in Kano city. I have spent more than 2yrs in Kano village where I can't speak or hear Hausa but now I can communicate a little.

Who Dey tell you say northerners Dey mind their business? In this whole country I have never seen a tribe way their men Dey gossip reach Hausa. Once you see them gather in small groups they are not discussing anything other than gossiping about people.

Another thing they are notorious for is hypocrisy. They commit fornication more than anybody but theirs is done in secret. But they will be the first to judge you if you do urs openly.

Also be prepared to adjust to the dirty environment.

Just get a house in Sabon Gari or find someone to squat with. When you have fully mastered the town, you can move to places like Bompai, Lamido crescent or Sardauna Crescent.

You only know northerners on the surface. Take time and observe them very well you will understand what am saying. In this country nobody gossip reach Hausa men. Whenever you see 2 or 3 Hausa men gather nah gossip dem Dey gossip. Am saying this because I live with them. Two things you can’t take away from them is gossip and hypocrisy.

Going to kano will be the best decision you ever took. Transportation is cheap: keke to be precise nothing like bike or taxi. Please rent an accommodation in nomansland sabongari cos the roads in nomansland are good compare to ijebu rd in sabongari. Op i use God in heaven beg u,,nor go follow dem dey discuss religion ooo cos na there yawo go for gas
Good luck dude wink

You are good to go. But be prepared for change in Whether conditions especially towards Nov/ Dec till Feb . Extremely cold.
Either you get accomodation at Nomanslland / court road by Gyadi Gyadi or Bompai. Those are nice areas to stay.
Don't get accomodation at Sabon Gari, it's really a corrupt place.

You have nothing to fear, Kano is one of the safest states in Nigeria
