Benue state is one of the middle belt state bordered by kogi, enugu, nassarawa, Taraba, cross river states. Major tribes are Tiv, idoma and igede though there are large numbers of igala, Hausa n Ibo communities within the state. Despite being referred as one of the northern states, it's a predominantly a Christian state. Hospitality of the people to corpers is awesome, at least from what I have seen and heard. As the food basket of the nation, food is relatively cheap n in different varieties. Accommodation within the capital makurdi is averagely cheap n affordable though cheaper in other local governments but less comfortable there in terms of electricity and water supply. The ladies are the best in the world if you" know your way and understand their ways ". No much industrial activity though, purely an administrative state in terms of federal and state civil services. The state is largely a peaceful state and corpers are warmly welcomed and accommodated

EKITI STATE

Ekiti state is located in the south west.
Shares boundary with Ondo, Osun and Kogi State.

Major Food
Pounded Yam

Occupation
Farmers, teachers and civil servants

State capital
ADO EKITI.

MAJOR TOWNS
ADO
ARAMOKO
IKOLE
EFON ALAYE
ILAWE

PEOPLE
Sometimes nice, sometimes annoying. But once you are friendly, they would be free with you

RELIGION
ALL

ACCOMMODATION
Very cheap. 1k - 2k monthly except in ADO where it's a bit high.

COST OF LIVING
Food stuffs especially plantain, Yam, palm oil, garri are very cheap compared to other states. Other commodities are average but not cheap. As a corper, if you are good, you get free foodstuffs like garri and plantain.

BASIC NECESSITIES
WATER... There is abundant water
LIGHT... ADO, ILAWE, IKOLE AND EFON enjoy stable eletricity supply. IKOGOSI, IPOLE, ERIJIYAN has not seen the blink of electricity for over 20 (twenty) months now. Other areas enjoy electricity.

EXTRA ALLAWEE
Depends on your PPA
Most schools don't pay. IKOGOSI WARM SPRING pays coppers 7k monthly with free lunch from Monday to Friday. And it's consistent. But only those who studied hotel related course and tourism related courses get posted to the WARM SPRING.

CLIMATE CONDITION
Friendly... But remember your sweater during cold seasons

TABOOS THAT I KNOW OF
ARAMOKO. - Don't carry plantain on your head
ERIJIYAN. - Don't kill a fish in any ERIJIYAN river
IKOGOSI. - Don't sit down on a Ladder

Thanks. Pardon me. I don't know how to tag people.

For those wishing to serve in Ebonyi, well Ebonyi is a fairly small state as u well know, but we've come a long way in providing for our residents, both locals and visitors, but as regards PCMs you will want to note the following:

Standard of Living - For someone living on a budget of N19,800, food and transportation shouldn't be too much of a problem, our food items are very affordable and transport is also quite cheap. A drop with keke costs u about N40 – N50. While a bus costs from N60 to N100. U can get a self-contained room from d price of 40,000k upwards if u re in close proximity to any of the campuses, and from 60,000k upwards if u re not. Single rooms pay lesser of course i.e. 20,000k downwards. Electricity is very stable, better though in towns than in remote areas; Ebonyi adopted this annoying 2days on 1 day off power approach, but if its okay for you then no problem.

Allowances - Ebonyi state pay corpers 5k, while would be doctors and nurses(corpers) are going to be paid less than 25k in the new administration (Dave Umahi), they formerly recieve from 130k downwards. The pay for corpers in medical fields is still subject to verification, as i had no one to reach for confirmation on that issue, i will update that soonest.

PPA - It should be noted that, while we have a number of government agencies and parastatals, corpers would mostly be posted to universities (there are number of those), hospitals, schools (private and public) and NGOs. There are not much companies around here but several big businesses have formed the habit of soliciting for corpers, corpers actually go for this; guess there must be a chance there for more allowances cause i don’t see any potential for growth in such situations. But pies surely taste different for different people. Btw, Afikpo, Ebonyi Towns and Onueke are nice places to live and work, Ebonyi also have many really, really remote areas, so pray hard for your luck to push anywhere but there.

Social Life - You don’t have to clear your pockets to enjoy a time-out, drinks are usually priced the way u re used to, except u go to the hotels. women are not cheap here, they got brains and eyes as sharp as yours, really.

Security - Apart from the normal occurrences in every other state, Ebonyi state is okay security wise. I wouldn't suggest u leave your 12k timberlands outside overnight though. we leave in peace with our Hausa, Nupe, Fulani and Muslim residents. Parties go on well into the night and then some; but the streets usually start emptying around ten o' clock or later; even so with your I.D. card u shouldn't have too much trouble with police and SARS.

As to how Eboyans treat corpers, we actually treat them okay, just don’t expect anyone to pamper you, and you will do fine. I hope I got d main points, if I didn’t, just quote me. (I don’t know how to do the general quoting thingy; pls someone should help me with that).

Dream2:
Babaly,that part escape my mind ni jare,at ondo west,the power supply is average,infact let me it's okay,we do have from 8am-12pm or past 12pm till like past 3pm and at night anything from 10pm till i don't know.....LOL.
On the issue of allawee,hmmm,I can't say coz the state is owing the civil servants,but seems the doctors still get paid.

coyy:

The Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) has decried the deplorable state of federal roads in Nigeria’s southeast region.

The NUJ calls on the Federal Government and governors of the five states in the region to as a matter of urgency, declare a state of emergency on the roads.

The National Vice Chairman of the union, Zone C, Chris Isiguzo, made the call on Friday at a meeting with the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, at the Government House in Owerri, the state’s capital.

Speaking in company of the NUJ executive members of Zone C, Mr Isiguzo described all the federal roads in the southeast as a ‘death trap’.
He identified the Owerri-Okigwe Road, Onitsha- Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Aba-Ikot-Ekpene-Uyo Expressway and Owerri-Port Harcourt Road among others as some of the important roads in the region.

The NUJ executive urged the Federal Government in collaboration with the governors to find a solution to the problem, so as to make life easier for the people of the south-east.
He also asked the governors to tackle the continuous attacks on the people of the region by suspected herdsmen.

In his response, Governor Okorocha blamed the road dilapidation in the region on previous governments, saying there were neglected.
However, he promised to call on his colleagues to see how most of the issues raised would be tackled headlong.
