It is a beautiful ancient city, in fact, the old City gate still stand today. However, the public transport is terrible. It is easy to get a ride, but the roads are treacherous and the drivers have no training. Secondly, you must keep your personal belongings close, otherwise you may lose everything. hotels are notorious for being special hubs for most of the unsavory crowds of the city, only a few of them are safe.

Find a secure and friendly neighbourhood, due to the rising insecurity in the country. Other social amenities such as 24 hours of light and constant water supply can be considered after finding a secure neighbourhood. These neighbourhoods are usually found in cities, where affluent people reside.

Kano has very extreme weather. It gets very cold during winter, and extremely hot during summer. it can also be really dry when its harmattan. if you do not like extreme weather, you might want to pick another city. My city is also very big and busy, so if you don’t like noise and stress, stay away.

It’s a peaceful environment with friendly people and it’s also easy to get by daily. You’d also find that the pricing on items are cheap compared to other cities in the region too. But the people here are a bit particular about their religious practices so I’d advise you respect their religion an culture and all will be alright.
