There seems to be a mild but consistent outflux from Kaduna. I don’t have facts to back this up but I have heard of a number of families who have had cause to leave Kaduna premised on the recent crisis. This is where the need for a good social security system becomes underscored. It is apparent that the neighbouring Abuja would largely benefit from this movement in terms of the labour and capital flight that this would occasion. Investors are wary of the safety of their investment in this part. Okada riders are witnessing a reduction in wages since about 3 hours have been yanked off their earning hours. Suya merchants are worst hit. Kaduna boy has never bought one in the day time. I actually don’t know any who does. Prostitutes? Sorry, Commercial Sex Workers, CSW are not finding this curfew funny at all. I’m sure they would have changed strategies too!
The soldiers manning points during the curfew hours have also reportedly changed tactics; the punishment now is to have defaulters sweep the street as against mimicking the movement pattern of frogs. Good prospect for environmental sanitation if this continues. Care to verify this news? Simple. Stay out till some minutes past 9pm! Don’t forget to leave a detailed comment here after the experience.
