Tough decision to make. I perfectly understand the sentiments shared by your friends and family but at this moment when there are no jobs, I completely applaud your decision to make the move to Gusau, Zamfara. Am not sure I have read of any report of large scale violence or attack in Zamfara, so it just might be relatively safe. For accommodation, your colleagues in Zamfara are in better stead to put you in the right direction.

Go to the North and continue your job. Try applying for some other jobs whilst on that. If you get a better offer you can go back to where you were coming from.

Very tough one.
I advise you try to find out all you can about the situation out there. Though Sokoto/Kebbi/Zamfara has been quiet so far.
You can keep the job, but make sure you are looking for offers down south.

Job hunting from so far is not practical. Few employers will foot the cost of your coming south for an interview and how often will u take permission to travel for jobs u aren't even sure of getting. Unless u are being 'head hunted' it won't happen. Gusau is too far out. My advice: move, give yourself a timeline to save(the north is a cheap place to stay in compared to the south) then put in ur resignation and move back south.by the way why r u househunting when they r d ones sending u there? Also forget the ride - that is how they tie pple down . Anyway good lu. ck at the end the decision is ur's to makem

Please stay with your Job for now while you search for another...My best friend and blood brother are both in Kano presently and for them Life still goes on. Zamfara is still a better dwelling in the North and I trust you will enjoy the hospitality of your host city...
