"As a man thinketh, so he is".

I will be here when you are shouting again..."Southerners lives matter"!!!

LordIsaac:
No money in Plateau... Remember that!

Cholls:
My brother abeg abeg don come and be confusing us here... this is what Greener pastures means to us here in naija

Powersurge:
Why will somebody leaves the entire south that contributes nearly 80% of the country's GDP and wants to move north? Life na per head sha.

I lived in Plataeu for one year. I moved from Jos to Magu to Panshin to Shendam etc. Plateau is as barren a land as Somalia. Most bank staff were employed from south and transfered there. The commonest job is school teacher. Insecurity has made farming unattractive. Jos always experience major crisis that takes tens, sometimes hundreds of lives at least once in five years. Jos South and Jos north are natural enemy. Berom people (the owner of Jos) are always slaughtered by Fulanis. Shendam is not exempted from violence. There was major carnage in Yelwa some years ago (that is the place Pantamj was recorded saying he would send jihadists to to slaughter people) . It is still brewing.

Magu, Panshin, Jos, the cold in these places could take your life if you have health problems or are not used to extreme weather change.

Cost of living is relatively low. I saw a 2-bedroom flat in Shendam for 50k. Goats, yams are very cheap. You can buy and come and sell down south. THERE IS NO FROZEN FOOD THE ENTIRE SHENDAM LG. likewise many other LG. you could look into such business. No difference between indigenous Plataeu and Southerners. They love flexing like us.

Note: indigenes Plateau people are peaceful and reasonable people.

If you like flexing, don't relocate to core north. There Sharia is a problem. Your neighbor might be spying on you, the day trouble starts, you will be first he would come for. I went to Kano, as relatively "civilized" as Kano is, I had problem. To enter keke with the opposite sex na wahala. Imagine for a moment places like Zamfara.

Ugonna62:
Move to maiduguru or sambisa greener pastures plenty for there.

realman42:
From Lagos to North is same as frying pan to fire

MrWTF:


Plateau state is Rich in weather and nature. low cost of living and transportation. But poverty Dey that land. Jobs Dey difficult to get.

I never stay Gombe. But trust me, if you spell “Mallam” from behind, na same thing

MayorMgbedike:
Borno will be preferable, since u hv chosen to go North, go deeper but make sure you paid anyone you are owing before your departure.

Meanwhile, the pastures in the North is Brownish not Greener.

I have been to and spend some time in both States.
If you can secure a good job there, move. But do not start a family there, at least not now. It will be hard not to start a family in Plateau State... Because, if a Jos girl holds you, my brother, forget about it.
The security situation is fragile in both States. Find the safest place and live there.
Live a very low-key life. Have few friends.
No risks, no rewards that is my kind of life, hence I cannot tell you not to move there

obinoral1179:
You are looking for job and you are relocating to a civil servants state and state in which they will favour indigene more... If you are going to the North I will suggest Kaduna but you job availability depends on the course you studies in school... All the best.

Hassanmaye:

What do you if a jos girls hold me so I can not chop and clean mouth

bunto:
The comments I am seeing on this thread now helps me to make sense of what a top civil servant said to me recently.

Southerners keep looking for money when they are young and thus hardly find the civil service attractive. Then they now cry later when the Northerners, who mostly go into the civil service, now start taking leadership positions in future.

Southern youths' love for money, independence and disregard for hierarchical authority is why they lag behind the North in leadership....shikena

LegalWolf:


Bro, I must commend your foresight. The thing is this: you can only make it big in these places if you go into business. For a fact, Gombe is a "civil servant" state and most of the jobs there are government related. Not being an indigene, the honest truth is that you don't stand a good chance of fetching them. However, if you go into business like computer repair/training, etc. you may quickly make it asap.

On security, Gombe town is relatively safe. I acknowledge that Jos has been subject to violence in the past. However, it has been relatively safe in recent times. So its a good choice. Again, I will advice you go to a place with a little "support system". That is, places where you know one or two people as they may always be there for you.

I can bet my life that in any choice you pick, you will love the people. The Hausa - Fulani are once of the most accommodating peoples in Nigeria and you will enjoy your stay. I wish you success in your future endeavors bro

ogwuche4u:


There is plenty money In plateau if he is ready to roll up his sleeves.

A Harvard graduate started her tomato farming and processing in Jos. Another, a berry farm. Do you know how much he can make if he goes into supply of agriculture produce to abuja? Carrots, cabbage, green peas and most of all tomatoes. There is plenty money in jos I tell you. Cost of living will also be cheap for him too.

I'm a graduate from one of the south west university in Nigeria, and i spend all my life in Lagos state , and also a yoruba guy from Lagos State.

But due to the rising and unavailability of good jobs around, i have been thinking of moving over to the North for greener pasture, i want to leave my comfort zone.

So, two states are on my mind, plateau state or gombe.

I really want input of individuals on this issues:

Cost of living

Availability of jobs

Security

Acceptability of strangers, and many more.


Which state do you guys think is ok, I'm really in need of a good job.

I will really appreciate this topic to be in frontpage so as to reach wider audience.
