Moving to an
undeveloped area. Either to your own house or a rented apartment has great
benefit and one of it is that you will enjoy quietness or peace you have never
enjoyed before when you were in the city. Everything that has an advantage has
a disadvantage, and one of the disadvantages of undeveloped areas is poor
network not able to call out or reach other through mobile phones due to poor
network. There are other things that might make your staying in a remote area
stressful. If you must live in these sites you must get his five things ready.
1. Get an automobile bike or
a jeep:
If
you are thinking of a vehicle to buy a jeep is preferable, if you have one
already its cool, but if you don’t have one and can’t afford it, I suggest you go for a
bike. For every new sites there is always tendency that the roads will be bad
and very expensive when taking public transport. Especially during the rainy season,
the best vehicles
that have successfully managed our Nigerian roads are jeeps and bikes.

2.
Drill
a bolehole:
If
you are living in your own house make plans to get yourself a borehole before
coming in. you might be shock the distance you need to go get water. And even
if it’s close, the amount its cost and how long can you afford it? If you can
cope and afford it then skip this part.
3.
Get
a generator (I better pass my neighbor):
One
thing about new site is that most of them are not yet ready for electricity but
they are but a few. The more people come in the better the chance for
electricity. There is need to charge your phone pump water from your borehole
into your tank and watch the TV in your leisure time.
4.
Get
enough Foodstuff:
The
reason why we work hard on daily basis is to provide food on our table and that
of our loved ones. Therefore food is an essential part of our life. Before you
finally know your way around you may want to get a lot of food that will last
for at least 3months, when relocating to an undeveloped area. Bear in mind that
there might be some slight increase in price of some foodstuff due to the long
distance and bad roads the traders travels when restocking their goods.
5.
Be
prepared to Farm:
All
around you are lands filled with bushes, most of them are owned by owners still
enjoying their city life, or owners waiting to see more development before
building, leaving you to take responsibility of the cutting of the grass which you
will do by force for your own security to keep snakes and scorpions away.in
other to benefit from this unpaid job and to stop the bushes from growing back,
it is advisable for you to farm (animal/plant). Use it to your advantage. Pawpaw,
plaintain, cassava are very easy to plant and maintain.
Goodluck.
