IK has said something about Akwa Ibom earlier, these is from one of the Batch B threads;...Quite lengthy!

fashrola: Well prospective batch "B" corper willing to serve in Akwa Ibom state, I want to brief you a little about the place, Though I'm from Akwa Ibom and I school @ Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron, I've also been mobilized for the NYSC programme too, Akwa Ibom state (Uyo as a case) Uyo is a very nice place to be, especially the new infrastructure put to place by the State Governor which includes: Good and beautiful roads, Cinema, At least manageable power supply, good road network system (no hold-up), Cheap accommodation and Transportation, Uyo is a very peaceful place and it is not as big as Lagos, therefore it is a really organized-city, Where the problem lies is which LGA you will be posted to in Akwa Ibom state, well I'll tell you the best LGA to serve with most good social amenities includes: Uyo, Eket (oil-rich town), Ikot Ekpene, Abak, Oron, Ibiono, Itu...though other LGA are good but I'm just telling you the best LGA in Akwa Ibom state and their proximity to the state Capital. Don't mind my grammer sha, I'm typing with a phone...

fashrola: *Continuation* for those that will be posted to Oron ( This is the LGA where Maritime Academy of Nigeria is located) some of you may wonder "I've never heard about this institution b4" Hmm well its a professional institution just for the training of seafarers, which include Captains, Marine engineers and their courses is specifically tailored for the Maritime industry in Nigeria, for more info abt the school, just google it, Ok back to the point..... If you are really lucky to be posted to Oron LGA in Akwa Ibom state and also fortunate to be posted to Maritime Academy of Nigeria as a corper just thank your stars....because you'll enjoy a lot of benefits during your stay in as a corper at Maritime Academy of Nigeria. Corpers are paid N15k there, You'll be provided with a lodge, and the school runs a 24/7 power supply, Your security is assured, cos the Institution is a regimented school, powered by the Nigerian Navy... While I was a cadet there, I'm always jealous of corpers serving in my skool cos I just wanted to be like them (posted somewhere similar to my skool) but sha I know God will make a way for me too...That's all folks...pls I will like other corpers in the house to throw more info about their state, conditions and benefits too, at least we'll be enlighten before we are posted to our various places...Thank you
PS: Don't mind my english...just no time to make some corrections

In case I stumble upon some other state's analysis, I'll post it here...

And perhaps you'd like to read something about Kaduna, also from 12B;...

mykejones: Lolzz..alrite,am based in Kaduna, and I graduated frm ABU zaria,so i'l cal myself a Northerner.
Kaduna was quite peaceful,I'd once argued it was the most peaceful Northern state..wel,until recently.
In case u r posted here,it's no biggie.
Oppurtunity abounds in kaduna..lots of Industries and parastatals. Kaduna city is the most developed. There's also Zaria, where i schooled. Safe for the school,zaria could be ranked as underdeveloped. And except in the case where u find urself inside the school community,the town itself can't be classified as 70percent safe when there's trouble.
Kafachan is also another gud town,predominatly populated by the Christain faith.
Jaji is another town. A military cantoment. And apart frm the "military zone",Jaji can be classified as a 'hot zone'.
In summary,Kaduna is largely divided in2 Muslim populated North, Christian dominated South.
If u fall in2 the nortern part,pls,include 'veil' as one of ur requirements.
I heard the state government,on the pop ground give 30k as TP to its outgoin corpers. Of cors,which eva cooperations u find urself,they'l also pay..even handsomely as the case my be.
Electricity- Fairly good. There are places where u can get 24/7..other places are been rationed.
Accomodation..depending on the range and ur tastes.
Security-I'v said much on that.
NB: There's a working refinary in kd..close 2my house. They accept corpers too and d pay is jaw opening and mouth watering.
Goodluck.

Gods-child:


And perhaps you'd like to read something about Kaduna, also from 12B;...

nice one, bro. thumps up!

Ur excellency i syt u o! I gues ur prolly tinkn of hw 2 salvage ds ur country

coincidentally, I grew up in both akwa ibom state (oron nd uyo) nd presently in kaduna state which is my state of origin.
Akwa Ibom state is almost perfect for Corpers
Kaduna state is also good with lots of government/ private companies nd many tertiary institutions.

Serving in Lagos: Merits and Demerits


Demerits
1. Accomodation Problems: I have heared too many Lag corpers complaining bitterly about these, some even say if you do not have relatives to squat with, or enough cash to get urself an accomodation, ur experience may not be good o.

2. Not everyone will be paid a state allowance: I read a tread sometimes back where it was confirmed that of all the corpers serving in Lag( batch b 2012 or also) only 600 copers or also were paid state alawi(first to register), while the rest were left to survive on federal alawi.

3.High rate of transportation fare: If you live in lag, you will agree with me alone.

4. Traffic jam plus stress: This is normal in lag. If you can't withstand stress, it's no go area, i beg.
5. Saving may be a mirage: Feeding and transportation fares may consume all your alawi, and before you know what is going on you have little or none to save.


Merits
1. Fast access to information: without gain saying Lag is an excellent place to obtain first hand info bordering on jobadverts, professional course trainings and many more. besides, you will be able to attend job interview easily while you are serving without travelling a long distance.


2. If you are the type that love hustling, Lag is the best place to be


3. Security: At least no fear of Boko boys

4. Weather: It is relatively okay.


These are some of my findings, Please add more.

Nw u wanna make M̶̲̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ change my mind bout lagos.

You don't have to. Just weigh the prons and cons and make your final decision.
