If you’re entering Katsina you will be greeted by okada, few cars outside metro of the city. You have filing stations with few cues. Food and accommodation is relatively cheap compared with big cities in Nigeria. Expect swarm of beggars at any traffic or hold-ups and markets.
Katsina is a land populated by Muslims. The land is filled with Hausa and the cost of living is low. A higher percentage of its people are poor. Katsina is not considered the right place for networking and gaining opportunities as favoritism among its people is most commonly seen here.
Katsina is a city, in the north-west geopolitical zone of Nigeria. It is inhabited mostly by indigenous Hausa- fulanis. The indigenes are predominantly farmers, and they practice Islam. Apart from the indigenes, there are people from different parts of the country who are either civil servants or traders. There are lots of tourists sites in Katsina, parts of which is the palace, and the museum.
My city is beautiful but very far from the surrounding villages. There are limited commercial banks in towns but many POS machines and ATM machines to withdraw from at any point in time. The city has a very rich cultural heritage and we are proud to display them. Eighty-five percent of the citizens are Muslims but they are also receptive to Christians.
