Between Otukpo And Gboko: Benue State by RipNipsey: 9:00pm On Jun 28, 2019
Hello Fam,

I'm thinking about relocating to Benue state next week for a job. I've never been there before so I need help on which to choose between these towns: Otukpo and Gboko.
These are the most important factors to consider:
-electricity
-security
-cost of accommodation
-social life.

So please tell me which is the best option. Also telll me the average cost of a self contain apartment in both towns because I couldn't find any listing on jiji or olx.

Thanks.

Gboko is far better but constant electricity Otukpo is little better but social life and opportunities enter gboko sharp

What are you going there to do? I mean which kind of work?

Take in advance

While not stay in Makurdi...

Ancient form of Cultism too much on Benue.

A typical cultist is a typical robber

To kill is like 2 sex

4get police there.


And their Secret is not to let them know anything about yu

I've read a lot about cultism in makurdi that's why I decided to stay elsewhere. But I will have to go there for business. I just don't want to live in the city.
Thanks for the tips.

Go to Gboko or Makurdi. I'm from Benue that was why I had to ask this question

When you decide and gboko happens to be your choice, hit me up you just got yourself a new buddy to show you around. You can get a self contain for 100k at the GRA area.

I visited someone along lubona junction and they seem to have steady power supply,that is close to End time harvest mission,power was restored almost immediately it went off and it's a calm area in my opinion o.
Re: Between Otukpo And Gboko: Benue State by christejames(m): 5:28pm On Jun 29, 2019
It seems everyone here is tipping Gboko.
Well, for me that grew up in Otukpo and stayed in Benue state for a better part of my life, I would suggest Otukpo cause it meets 90% of the criteria you are looking for safe for infrastructure; deplorable roads.

The town is a bustling one with large percentage of educated inhabitants. It's the headquarters/capital of the Idoma nation, and the second most important town in that state after Makurdi. It is to the Idomas what Makurdi and Gboko are to the Tiv. But one of the major vices in that town that turns me off is cultism (although it's in every major town of that state) from the youths and teenagers, although it whittled down before I left but I think the scare is still there.



But for proximity with Makurdi I think Gboko closer.




Benue will be great again!

Thanks bro.
Literally everyone is complaining about cultism in Benue. It's a major concern to me. I'm honestly having to reconsider my choices.
Jos would be a perfect place but the religious crisis is still an issue and very unpredictable.

I don't know the part of Nigerian you are coming from but if you're from east I think otukpo will be better for the following reasons

1) you will meet alot of your Ibo brother doing business in otukpo main market , almost 70 % percent of shop are own by the Ibo's

2) no ethnicity or religious inclination unlike gboko

3) similarity in Ibo culture
