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.

If you have a laptop, I will advise you to avoid the busy states and go to a less busy state. Why, you may ask? The reason is so you can use the 12 months to learn a skill online. It could be web/mobile development, copywriting, UI/UX or any other skill that is on demand. By the end of 12 months, you should have mastered the skill enough to get a good-paying remote job or become a freelancer.
Start from YouTube and check out courses there. Have a feel of each and know each one that suits you. Head to Udemy or Lynda and pay for courses. They are quite cheap. Less than $50 in most cases. Follow the course religiously and build your portfolio as you go.

This is the advice I will give myself if I'm to repeat my NYSC again.

ocheja. Thanks

Hashimyussufamao:
Bro, can you give Kaduna a shot? And as for the PPA, I have a school where they pay 10K.

Oritsewhandey:

If I'm your employer, I will fail you.
You promised to make it BRIEF.
11 Paragraphs na brief?

Abanekechizoba2:
When I see people say it's not good "working out your NYSC" I wonder if they are in this country (not an insult though) but if I can go back to NYSC service now, I would do anything to get a state with better opportunities and connections. I trust God so much but that's why he gave us humans the ability to make decisions for ourselves called "choice". Meeting people,learning new cultures and so on is the aim of NYSC but what happens after the 1year? Remember there's life after service and it's highly frustrating if after service there's no job and connection to help you get there. Am not here to pick a state for you but with God all things are possible and if you wish to work it to a state where you feel life will favour you,then go for it. I know so many people that got favoured either way. Am also a computer Engineer and if you desire to open up a business related to your discipline, then the north is a good place to start.
Thanks.

Gten:
You are a graduate of Kogi State University and I am guessing you are a Kogite, NYSC has a default posting of 80 percent kogites to the core north(my own observation though). If you want to get the best from your service year, please commit the whole process to God and watch him take the wheel. I assure you, God would surely connect you to your destiny helpers. Best wishes.

Richdad50:


Do not work your posting but dedicate that one year totally to God and ministry. Maybe a church but most importantly to humanity and soul winning. In these period, stay focused on the word of God and meditate daily on where you want to be after service. Pray without ceasing and lay out in prayers for hastened settlement.

After which, you will see the miraculous workings of God over your future.

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

HypePlusIQ:
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

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

Naanlong01:
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.

seanwilliam:
Your writing is impeccable, comprehensive and simple.. to the the question, if I were u I'll gladly find connext to Lagos and husle my asss up..I dont really believe in salary job without connection these days.. improve your skills and monetize it..

CHOOSE OGUN STATE, I SERVED THERE 2009, IMMIDIATELY AFTER SERVICE I GOT BACK TO ABUJA 2010, THROUGH OUT THAT PRRIOD I WAS JUST RUNNING AN ERRAND FOR MY INLAW, I HAD NO CHOICE SINCE HE IS THE ONE HOUSING ME PENDING WHEN I WILL SECURE A JOB, I SAW THE JOB WAS NOT FORTH COMING, I HAD TO MOVE MY THINGS AND RETUNED TO OGUN STATE, I WAS SUTTLING BETWEEN OGUN AND LAGOS SERCHINH FOR JOB, FURTUNATELY I GOT A JOB IN LAGOS, HAD TO SOURCE OUT MONEY GOT A FACE ME I SLAP YOU, FROM THERE ON CHANGE TO A BETTER APARTMENT, ALONG THE LINE, I DISCOVERED THAT WITH THE LUTTLE SALARY I GET AND FOR ME TO LIVE A COMFORTABLE LIFE, I NEED TO MOVE BACK TO OGUN STATE, THAT WAS HOW I MOVED BACK TO OGUN STATE, I WAS COMING TO WORK FROM OGUN TO LAGOS, TODAY, TO GOD BE THE GLORY THE DECISION I TOOK HAS GREATLY PAID IN FOR ME. THE REASON WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE OGUN IS BECAUSE OF ITS PROXIMITY TO LAGOS, LIFE IS LESS EXPENSIVE THERE, WITH YOUR COMPUTER ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE YOU CAN START UP SOMETHING IN HERE,AND ABOVE ALL, ASK GOD FOR DIRECTION.
