nice 1 bro, kano on my mind

Welcome to the commercial city of Kano. And if you get posted to the town, as it is most likely to be, contact me, and I will help you get a good PPA. But if you want to work with Kano State Polytechnic, though the pay isn't good but you will have a lot of time to do other things, then I have such access at no cost for you.

Fundamentalist:
I can agree with most of the issues raised by OP except the issue of light . I actually served in kano, I left in 2014 and I know light is epileptic. It was even worse in the viilage were I served (albasu LGA) .

2014 is three years ago. Bros, Kano is better now.
seun, Lalasticlala, what are you waiting for. I just killed a snake in Kano state

wizzyrich:
I cut my hair for 100 naira.

You can't even finish tomatoes and pepper of 100 naira in my ppa.

My ppa gives me food items like rice, beans, palm and groundnut oil, maggi, lipton, corn(for Tuwo) etc.

There's power supply but if PHCN misbehaves, we charge our phone for 20 naira but I charge at the saloon were I normally cut my hair.

Free accommodation with water(both tap and borehole water). The list goes on and on, what more can I be looking for. This place is LG, life is good.

You nearly said it all. Still cut my hair N100, the same price I met it when I came. And these are stand barbing Saloon. Boreholes are everywhere. Kano is just the best for this recession. I thank God who didn't give me Akwa Ibom and Abuja that I was hoping for. My colleagues over there have been complaining. My classmate can't save money for calls. I always call him "poor Abuja Corper "

fecosequence:
am a corper in akwa ibom.u must not depend on ur alawee, I make not less than 10k every month apart from my state alawee.be friendly and organize some private lessons esp now there is holiday

Trust me, home lessons is needed most in Kano than in Akwa Ibom. The cost of things over there is another thing. plus no light

Lalasticlala, Seun, and other moderators, please, do the needful.

This might sound as a shock against the popular belief people have. Well, I will be passing out on Friday, 7th April, 2017. Having been in NYSC scheme for a year, I think I am in the best position to make my analysis. Well, so many persons believe that Abuja and Akwa Ibom state will be their first and second choice for NYSC, but the truth is that, Kano state is actually better than the duo state. Here are my humble submission.

State Allowance
Unlike what it used to be before, Akwa Ibom is no longer paying the N10,000 monthly allowance to corps members, same as Abuja, and hence there is no need going to these states. While N5,000 in Kano is equivalent to N20,000 in Abuja and Akwa Ibom, i wonder why anyone will not go for Kano. Kano state has started paying corps member, they started with this Batch A who are about to pass out. Hence, since N5000 in Kano is equivalent to N20,000 in Abuja and Akwa Ibom, choosing the two state is to live a life of no savings during the service year.

Place of Primary Assignment
If you are looking for a good place to be during your service year, then Kano state should be your first choice. With lots of industries using NYSC labour, Kano state has proven to absorb more corps members than most other states. As a commercial city, Kano has become a home to numerous corps members who have gotten a work or gotten themselves in different business while serving their country.

Cheap Food
Let's just say that, a sachet of water is still sold for N5 in Kano, a cup of beans sold for N40 in Kano, these prices is what you will never get in Abuja or Akwa Ibom. My colleagues serving in both states have been crying, that though some PPA's pays N10k, it becomes useless as the purchasing power of money is low in the two states. I still buy my tomatoes for N40, pepper N10, and Onions N10, these items will be in good quantity except if you are serving in Sabon gari where Igbo's and Yoruba's dominate for business purposes. Things are relatively cheap over here and there is no way your N19800, won't remain at the end of the month.

Security
For one year that I have been in Kano, I can tell you that we have enjoyed a peaceful atmosphere and everything has been going well. The NYSC officials has been great in the affairs of corps members. You are highly respected by the people for being a corps member and they regard and respect your security. Just go with your I.D card and you are always safe anywhere.

Development
So many persons who have not being to kano think that the city is not developed simply because it is located in the north. The reverse is the case. The truth is that, Kano is more developed than Akwa Ibom ( I have been to this state severally), Enugu, and other states. The infrastructural development in Kano beats that of kaduna, so feel free, you are coming to the biggest city in the North.

Light
Well, let me say that Kano State enjoy constant light. And it is even better when serving in the village. Some corps members do not pay for light, while others pay as low as N100. Unlike what is obtainable in Abuja and Akwa Ibom. My colleague in Akwa Ibom and Abuja always complain about light, though it may depend on which part of the state they are. But even if you stay in Kano village, just be assured that you will always have light.

From the above reasons, I urge 2017 batch A prospective corps members to avoid making mistakes their colleagues make by choosing Akwa Ibom or Abuja and end up crying on the long run. N19800 is too little to depend on, or even paying higher amount for nothing. You are choosing Abuja, can you afford the transportation? Abuja is not for N19800 corpers. You are choosing Akwa Ibom, can you feed yourself for a month with N19800 and still have a savings?.
If you finally make it to kano, and you are posted to the city, send me an email, I will link you up to a good PPA, especially those that would be posted to Gwale Local Government. Thanks and have a nice service year.

Na she find trouble.
How she take off pant for this kind childish guy.

There are so many of them out there. Don't be fooled by their konji induced pleas. I have given up on some of these creatures called men.

amiablesystems:
Just seeing this. Check your mail

Lol. I have wealth of experience, I can even send you samples of my work. how much are you willing to pay before I contact you

This is what happens when recession meets students. Their brain will return to default setting.
Nigerian Leaders of tomorrow and someone don't want the aged to lead us?

pocohantas:
The reason why some ladies won't get Mr.Right is because there is scarcity of Mr.Right.

Lol. I have to disagree with this point. I think there reason is simple, every lady go into the relationship with an interest, which has forced the guys to do same. so when there is a crash of interest, everyone will start complaining how he was APC and how she is PDP (share the money). Truth is, guys are cool, only try to be sincere and honest with them and they will rarely disappoint you. While you would agree with me intoto that ladies do not need sincerity of heart and honesty of purpose. hence they will hardly get the right man. ladies are the ones forcing guys to be what they are not. with the trait of smartness being put forward by ladies, solely aimed at defrauding the guy one way or the other, it will be a weakness on the guys part if he became cheated twice in a relationship, hence the reason we became what we seem to be now.
Remember dear Poca, Ayam different

I have once asked such question.

pocohantas:
She can be the love interest, that girl the musician keeps pursuing about or video vixen in one cool Rnb song. She wouldn't be needing dancing skills...all she has to do is wear bikini and sit in a pool.

Lol.

congrats

I felt somehow about this method yesterday when I saw it, but I gave it a trial and I have gotten two gigs worth $20 in less than 18 hours. Though the value of the gigs is small, I am sure the method will bring more sales.

where are you guys nah

Greatbeard:
mrphysics
The problem with freelance writing on these sites is that you have to establish yourself first I.e reviews ,ranks and all sorts.

without this,its really tough. Even with dedication, you need luck because its a really competitive market and people prefer to hire experienced hands for the same price as opposed to newbies.

The guys that outsource on nairaland are usually slave drivers and you can't blame them.

what advice do you have for breaking into the market with little capital?

That is the truth. To make it as a beginner is always tough. With 10k, you can get five review and still retain 8k which you can withdraw anytime you want. So buying review is another way

pocohantas:
I'm cool.

check your mail

FriendNG:
