You just scribbled down a fallacious article. I can tell you from experience that the north is among the best regions to serve, safe for some skirmishes here and there which is not even peculiar to the region alone. I would say it's the best place to serve.

How many southern states indegines still respect corps members? but here in the north once they get to know that you are a corp member and also from South (especially east), you will be regarded in high esteem. The people here are nice, don't listen to the picture the media or stereotypes the southerners have for them. Things are cheap here for real, even house rent. So forget that negative notion you have been nursing for them.




They are hospitable but like everywhere else, BE CAUTIOUS!

I served in the North too... you seems to care so much about respect compared to your well-being and future. I still maintain that north is the least place to serve.

christejames:


And who told you my welfare ain't being catered for here? because you chose not to enjoy the kind gestures presented here doesn't mean that isn't any.

Mightyify:


I'm not saying serving in the North is entirely bad... But states in South South, South East, South west are better. Northern States are at the bottom. Stop arguing you know the truth

North is a waste land... Nice one Op

Nobody likes the north, how will I die because of Nysc... I'm complaining dt the scheme adds no value to youths, and ur saying I shld go to the north... Tufikwa!

NYSC: Six (6) Reasons why you should not serve in the North


If you want to have a wonderful service year, learn some skills, have fun and have an opportunity of landing yourself a good job, Core northern states should be last in your list.


No.1==Lack of Good PPAs:-

Due to shortage of qualified teachers in the North, 95% of corpers are deployed to schools with most of these schools located in the rural areas. This means onces you are posted to the North, there is a good chances of you ending up in one of these villages except you bribe some Nysc officials in camp to be posted to town.


No.2= Things are not as cheap as you they told you:-

Yes! The only thing you can buy cheap here is foodstuffs like cow meat, tomatoes etc. Every other thing goes almost same price you would get it in other states, except those things that are predominantly produced in the North. Don't fall for the scam things are cheap here, it's just a format to get people to serve here.


No.3=Having another source of Income apart from your alawee is difficult:-


I have read tales where corpers organized private lessons and venture in other business to augment income but that's very hard in the North due to their attitude towards education, nobody might patronize you if you organize private lessons and most private schools in the City already have extra moral classes included in their school activities.




No.4=Insecurity:-


Most Northern States are underpoliced! There are no enough presence of police and other security agents to protect you incase of any crisis. This is why there are lots casualties recorded anytime crisis broke out. Anybody who served in the village in any northern states can attest to this, you rarely see policemen unlike what we have in the south.

No.5=Accommodation Problem:-

Most Schools and ministries have no accommodation for you once you're posted to the Capital cities of Northern States. Yes! Same problem that's also being suffered by corpers serving in Lagos, Abuja and Portharcourt. A good self contained apartment in Kano City is rented almost same amount with the ones in Ibadan, addo ekiti, calabar, Enugu, Uyo , owerri etc. Note: If you're posted to the village, you will be provided with accommodation.


No.6=Less hope of getting ratained in your PPA:-


This one needs no explanation since you are most likely to be posted to the village, you will get tired of the place before your POP, so retaining you is out of the picture even if they do, you will gladly reject the offer.


Note: These are my personal opinions and observations, I also agree that serving in the North is not entirely a bad idea because there's also some good stuff here. This is to guide perspective corp members to make the right choice. Thanks

Reasons why you should serve in the north.

1. Cultural Exposure
2. Food stuffs are actually cheaper in the North, compared to the South.
3. After a few months in the North, then you'll truly understand how bad things really are in this country

I served in the North

asuustrike2009:

The scheme add value to youths because they get to meet knew people, culture and share ideas

Raintaker:
I served in the East, everything the Op posted also happens in the East. I can say it's worse in the East but under reported(we woke up one day to find a dead man dumped in one of the school compounds)probably killed by consists. Cultism is rife in the East, let me stop here for now.
Presently in the North, not as a corps member again though. It is peaceful here and things are cheap.
