First of all, take away your fears. Kebbi state is very peaceful state. From Owerri, you board Abuja car/ bus. When you get to Abuja, board another car/ bus going to Zamfara perhaps you might be lucky from Abuja to get direct bus to Sokoto. Then from Sokoto, its 2hours drive to Kebbi state. Kebbi is very very peaceful state. Don't be afraid of what you hear on Newspaper. Perhaps you will meet a lot of your Igbo Brothers and Sisters doing their business in Kebbi. Though it might take you 2 days to get to Kebbi. I will call you to give you a hint further.
thanks bro.

CareerRe: I Asked For My Promotion And I Got A Transfer by touchplay(m): 6:15pm On Aug 22, 2016
this is a good case study.....do your SWOT analysis.
Strength
Weakness
Opportunities
Threats
A SWOT analysis can be carried out for a company, product, place, industry, or person. It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective....
fy the key internal and external factors seen as important to achieving an objective. SWOT analysis groups key pieces of information into two main categories:
1. internal factors – the strengths and weaknesses internal to the organization
2. external factors – the opportunities and threats presented by the environment external to the organization
Analysis may view the internal factors as strengths or as weaknesses depending upon their effect on the organization's objectives. What may represent strengths with respect to one objective may be weaknesses (distractions, competition) for another objective. The factors may include all of the 4Ps ; as well as personnel , finance , manufacturing capabilities, and so on.
The external factors may include macroeconomic matters, technological change , legislation , and sociocultural changes, as well as changes in the marketplace or in competitive position. The results are often presented in the form of a matrix.
SWOT analysis is just one method of categorization and has its own weaknesses. For example, it may tend to persuade its users to compile lists rather than to think about actual important factors in achieving objectives. It also presents the resulting lists uncritically and without clear prioritization so that, for example, weak opportunities may appear to balance strong threats.
It is prudent not to eliminate any candidate SWOT entry too quickly. The importance of individual SWOTs will be revealed by the value of the strategies they generate. A SWOT item that produces valuable strategies is important. A SWOT item that generates no strategies is not important.
Use
The usefulness of SWOT analysis is not limited to profit-seeking organizations. SWOT analysis may be used in any decision-making situation when a desired end-state (objective) is defined. Examples include:
non-profit organizations , governmental units, and individuals. SWOT analysis may also be used in pre-crisis planning and preventive crisis management . SWOT analysis may also be used in creating a recommendation during a viability study /survey.
Strategy building
SWOT analysis can be used effectively to build organization or personal strategy. Steps necessary to execute strategy-oriented analysis involve: identification of internal and external factors (using popular 2x2 matrix), selection and evaluation of the most important factors, and identification of relations existing between internal and external features.
For instance: strong relations between strengths and opportunities can suggest good conditions in the company and allow using an aggressive strategy. On the other hand, strong interactions between weaknesses and threats could be analyzed as a potential warning and advice for using a defensive strategy. The analysis of these relationships to determine which strategy to implement is often performed in the growth planning phase for a business.
Matching and converting
One way of utilizing SWOT is matching and converting. Matching is used to find competitive advantage by matching the strengths to opportunities. Another tactic is to convert weaknesses or threats into strengths or opportunities. An example of a conversion strategy is to find new markets. If the threats or weaknesses cannot be converted, a company should try to minimize or avoid them.
SWOT landscape analysis
The SWOT-landscape systematically deploys the relationships between overall objective and underlying SWOT-factors and provides an interactive, query-able 3D landscape.
The SWOT-landscape grabs different managerial situations by visualizing and foreseeing the dynamic performance of comparable objects according to findings by Brendan Kitts.
Changes in relative performance are continually identified. Projects (or other units of measurements) that could be potential risk or opportunity objects are highlighted.
SWOT-landscape also indicates which underlying strength and weakness factors have influence or likely will have highest influence in the context of value in use (for example, capital value fluctuations).

****SWOT alongside PEST /
PESTLE can be used as a basis for the analysis of business and environmental factors.
Set objectives – defining what the organization is going to do
Environmental scanning
Internal appraisals of the organization's SWOT, this needs to include an assessment of the present situation as well as a portfolio of products/services and an analysis of the product/service life cycle
Analysis of existing strategies , this should determine relevance from the results of an internal/external appraisal. This may include gap analysis of environmental factors
Strategic Issues defined – key factors in the development of a corporate plan that the organization must address
Develop new/revised strategies – revised analysis of strategic issues may mean the objectives need to change
Establish critical success factors – the achievement of objectives and strategy implementation
Preparation of operational, resource, projects plans for strategy implementation
Monitoring results – mapping against plans, taking corrective action, which may mean amending objectives/strategies
Marketing
Main article: Marketing management
In many competitor analyses, marketers build detailed profiles of each competitor in the market, focusing especially on their relative competitive strengths and weaknesses using SWOT analysis. Marketing managers will examine each competitor's cost structure, sources of profits, resources and competencies, competitive positioning and product differentiation, degree of vertical integration , historical responses to industry developments, and other factors.
Marketing management often finds it necessary to invest in research to collect the data required to perform accurate marketing analysis. Accordingly, management often conducts market research (alternately marketing research) to obtain this information. Marketers employ a variety of techniques to conduct market research, but some of the more common include:
Qualitative marketing research, such as focus groups
Quantitative marketing research, such as statistical surveys
Experimental techniques such as test markets
Observational techniques such as ethnographic (on-site) observation
Marketing managers may also design and oversee various environmental scanning and competitive intelligence processes to help identify trends and inform the company's marketing analysis.
Below is an example SWOT analysis of a market position of a small management consultancy with specialism in HRM.
Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats
Reputation in marketplace
Shortage of consultants at operating level rather than partner level
Well established position with a well defined market niche
Large consultanc operating minor level
Expertise at partner level in HRM consultancy
Unable to deal with multi-disciplinary assignments because of size or lack of ability
Identified market for consultancy in areas other than HRM
Other smal consultanc looking to invade the marketplace
In community organization
The SWOT analysis has been utilized in community work as a tool to identify positive and negative factors within organizations, communities, and the broader society that promote or inhibit successful implementation of social services and social change efforts.. This organizing tool is best used in collaboration with community workers and/or community members before developing goals and objectives for a program design or implementing an organizing strategy.The SWOT analysis is a part of the planning for social change process and will not provide a strategic plan if used by itself. After a SWOT analysis is completed a social change organization can turn the SWOT list into a series of recommendations to consider before developing a strategic plan.
A simple SWOT Analysis used in Community Organizing
Strengths and Weaknesses: These are the internal factors within an organization.
Human resources - staff, volunteers, board members, target population
Physical resources - your location, building, equipment
Financial - grants, funding agencies, other sources of income
Activities and processes - programs you run, systems you employ
Past experiences - building blocks for learning and success, your reputation in the community
Opportunities and Threats : These are external factors stemming from community or societal forces.
Future trends in your field or the culture
The economy - local, national, or international
Funding sources - foundations, donors, legislatures
Demographics - changes in the age, race, gender, culture of those you serve or in your area
The physical environment (Is your building in a growing part of town? Is the bus company cutting routes?)
Legislation (Do new federal requirements make your job harder...or easier?)
Local, national or international events
Although the SWOT analysis was originally designed as an organizational method for business and industries, it has been replicated in various community work as a tool for identifying external and internal support to combat internal and external opposition. The SWOT analysis is necessary to provide direction to the next stages of the change process.
Application in community organization
Elements to consider
Elements to consider in a SWOT analysis include understanding the community that a particular organization is working with. This can be done via public forums, listening campaigns, and informational interviews. Data collection will help inform the community members and workers when developing the SWOT analysis. A needs and assets assessment are tooling that can be used to identify the needs and existing resources of the community. When these assessments are done and data has been collected, an analysis of the community can be made that informs the SWOT analysis.
Steps for implementation
A SWOT analysis is best developed in a group setting such as a work or community meeting. A facilitator can conduct the meeting by first explaining what a SWOT analysis is as well as identifying the meaning of each term.
When to use SWOT
The use of a SWOT analysis by a community organization are as follows: to organize information, provide insight into barriers [15] that may be present while engaging in social change processes, and identify strengths available that can be activated to counteract these barriers.
A SWOT analysis can be used to:
Explore new solutions to problems
Identify barriers that will limit goals/objectives
Decide on direction that will be most effective
