Religion and Spirituality in Kaduna
six local expertsLeave a comment
The first thing to consider about Kaduna city is its cold weather, you need thick clothes to keep your body warm if moving here. If you are industrious, you will fit in here because the people in this city are business oriented. The people in the city are not religious bigots. They are simply wonderful people. They are hospitable.
Kaduna is the heart of the north in Nigeria. It’s large and occupied by both Christians and Muslims, we have many tribes with Hausa as the major language spoken. Kaduna state is a fast growing industrialized state.
If moving to Kaduna, then know it is one of the coldest States in the north of Nigeria. The cost of living in Kaduna is pretty cheap as is with almost all states in this part of Nigeria. Prepare to feast your eyes on rich Hausa culture, although majority of the inhabitants are Muslims there are also Christians who have made this state their permanent home. Why? Houses are relatively cheap to lease or rent and even buy compared to other parts of the nation, food is affordable, cost of transportation is also very affordable. If moving to northern Nigeria then Kaduna should be first on your list, just come with jackets for the cold and moisturizer for your skin.
Moving to Kaduna would be a terrible decision. If you are here to work then it is fine but you must know the security risk is high due to kidnapping, “Boko Haram,” burglary, religious riots, and so much more. However, there are some nice things to be said about Kaduna. We produce lovely fruits like mangoes, sugar canes, lemons, apples, tomatoes, fruits, and vegetables.
It is a beautiful city, with good main roads and it’s divided by the North and South which are occupied by both Muslims and Christians, the North being occupied by majorly Muslims and the South by Christians. There are three major languages spoken: Hausa, English and the Southern Kaduna language.
Kaduna is in the north of Nigeria and it is occupied by predominantly Christians. It has 21 local government areas. It is surrounded by Kano state, Plateau state and Abuja (the federal capital territory). It is well known for its agricultural produce like maize, millet, wheat etc. The current governor is mallam Nasiru El rufai.
