Ibadan is not a state.
Why don't you leave fate to play its role? Any state you are deployed to may be where you will encounter your fortune. The crux of the matter is, you can fall back on your already acquired skill and start something after service.

Toronto

I'll be brief and simple with my narrative, I promise.
To the glory of God, I have just graduated from KOGI STATE UNIVERSITY (KSU) with a 2.2 CGPA in English and Literary Studies.

As a hustling guy ( now in my late 20's), it was God's grace that helped me pull through my studies in that, I lost my only surviving parent while I was about starting my studies. And that made me had it rough all through my stay in the University.

Now, I have successfully graduated and don't want to be entrapped in this state, Kogi, any longer. I'm pretty sure you all know what is up here in kogi state; everything appears so gloomy and I seriously need to be totally out of it at least, for the time being.

Since I'm just a hustler with no ready relation to nudge me, I seriously want to use the NYSC period as an avenue to get out of this State. I so much desire to stay back wherever I'm eventually posted to for Service; I need a place with a lot of job opportunities with respect to my course of study, English and literature. And that's where the knot is. Which region do you think is appropriate for me to achieve this desire of mine?

Some persons I shared this with specifically advised me to move up North East; they suggested States like Gombe and Bauchi, even Maiduguri while others suggested Ibadan or Lagos.

This is where I need your advice and suggestions because as it stands now, despite the fact I want to register early, I am helpless and wouldn't know the right states to select for NYSC when we'll be eventually directed to start registration early next year. And I just need to plan well against that day.

To you, which states with more job opportunities in Nigeria, do you think I could choose for my NYSC and also continue my life there afterwards?

P.S
I'm also a computer technician and will like to set up my business in the event of not getting anything to lay hands on after service. BUT NOT IN KOGI STATE!

Please, advise me.

Lagos, PH or Abuja, simple. You can stand on your own faster in Lagos, In Abuja you will need some political connection which you can pick up by association. PH will be a lot more difficult except you are posted to oil services. In the final analysis, Lagos provides the best option for start ups. I started here and have remained here ever since.

Borno........ many people don run comot there







So, job go brekete

United State, but of something is what I can not suggest.

North: Plateau
South: Delta, Akwa Ibom
East: Enugu, Anambra
West: Oyo, Ondo

Choose Borno state.

For now Borno is the safest state and make sure ur PPA is close to Sambisa

I live in Lagos(lived there for most part of my life) but im currently serving in Benue. (6 months left)

Not the best of places but relatively peaceful compare to states I have been(and I have been to bout 14).

Anyways, considering Job opportunities ... Lagos, Akwa Ibom, Ogun, Oyo, Cross River, Kano, Ebonyi, Imo.

Now seriously you have to factor some things..

If your PPA in Lagos isn't paying you pretty handsomely , and you don't have a place to stay (I.e you have to rent an apartment during our service year) then Lagos is a no-no.

Also, Ogun state is not a bad place to go.

But I recommend, Oyo and the Eastern states o stated above.

Lest I forget, Edo too is okay( if you know what you are doing).

Wanna explore the north, then Kano or Kaduna is your best bet.

( I was originally posted to Benue and didn't redeploy cos I actually wanna serve and needed a change of environment for a while.)


Good luck,

Wishing you the best

Rivers state!!

U would like it with their new increment to 15k allowee

United states..

I will suggest Ondo and Akwa Ibom states
You will surely enjoy yourself.

neoclassical:
Don't choose Lagos if you don't have someone there, else you will regret it.

Bro you have sense !!!

Thanks for this input.

Guy try any south east state and try and learn how to sew cloth(the Ibo's believe that all Yoruba's are good with sewing machine.) And use it as side business. It will feed u more the anything during nysc and possibly after it. Try Aba, Owerri or Onitsha. Forget that certificate, school na scam. Even ur computer repair will pay u very well if u r good

DaddyMorenike:
Great! That's my Alma Mata. Are you repping Ocheja or dangana.
Lagos, Kaduna, Jos are OK.

No no no...please not Jos. I served there and o know how it is

If you want peace of mind choose if you want money choose rivers or delta but your life is at
50/50 chance

czarina:
"Strong" 2.2

Try exploring Akwa-ibom especially Uyo or Ikot-Ekpene. You'd really enjoy.

Don't go to Lagos o, things are expensive, maybe Katsina, Kano or Kaduna, there are business opportunities there.

Come to Ebonyi state.

Conceptman:
Go to Abuja, in a location where u know it's not expensive to live in. Considering North,get vaccine shots before going to serve in the North. Lagos would have been better but you need to double your hustle and be ready to sleep less and always ready to wake up early to avoid traffics while going to work. Good luck in your journey, lots to encounter, just be confident in yourself.

what kind of vaccine shot bro... I will be reporting to my PPA in Kaduna in January and I'd like to take the vaccine. Thanks

flexyrule:
Last time I Checked, Posting of corps members was done at the discretion of the NYSC.
Abi is your case different?

U can chose now

My dear Lagos is the place to be or the Eastern part

neoclassical:

Yes, fact

I suggest you stop asking all these ''which state has plenty job opportunities" question and instead pray to God for His will to be done. You know what? NYSC can even post you to a state you didn't even choose, don't be surprised, that happened to me. Before graduating then i prayed to God that wherever i'm posted to, God should make it a place like home to me, because i was also nurturing this same ambition of settling down there, and i can tell you yesterday made it exactly a year after service and am still here doing my business and earning salary at the same time. Let God lead you.

Lagos Lagos Lagos, PHC ... Finish ...

PHC no be state ohhhhhh

Man proposes. God disposes. Trust on the Lord with all your heart, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

Lagos and Abuja are okay because of the job opportunities there. But let God leads you. I served in Benue State, though I enjoyed the State because I served in the State Capital(Makurdi). But I'm presently a Lecturer in a Federal Institution in Osun State. In short, getting NYSC certificate is what matters. Go for it, get it, pray and let God have his way in your life. Period

I will choose Akwa Ibom because of Kpekus
