It's all depends on where she will be posted to within Adamawa.

I served in Mubi (second biggest town in Adamawa) in 2009/2010 and it was still a bit ok then but can't guarantee you of any security now.

A friend who was retained as a lecturer was killed in Mubi in 2012 right inside his room.

Also, it's nothing less than two days journey from the South West.

My advice, except you're very sure she will be posted to Yola town, I cannot guarantee you of any security in other local governments.

Nothing will happen to her in orientation camp. She can redeploy to her state of choice for free in camp on insecurity ground. But she has to do her 3weeks orientation there first.

Camped in damare, in 2018. It was peaceful then, although there is an option to relocate due to insecurity. She could take that option too.

According to a priori statistics released recently, about 70% of the country is not safe.

You can get these books on SECURITY to protect yourself.

My wife was posted there last year March. Due to the short time we had, she boarded a flight to Abuja. From there to Jos on that same day. Then she left Jos the next day for Adamawa. She didn't encounter any challenge on her way there, but on her way to the Camp, she was told by someone to wear any of the clothes she took along, on her NYSC khaki whenever she's leaving Camp.

Then while she was in Camp, she complained so much about the heat. It was so bad Corps Members' phones were getting damaged. Their phones were going off, without being able to switch them back on.

In order to redeploy, she went with a medical report, which helped her secure the redeployment.

We were unable to book a flight for her back to Lagos, because we didn't know when she was likely to finish or when she might even get to Abuja after the Orientation Camp. So, she had to travel back by road. This isn't to scare you, but it was a terrible journey.

She got a bus straight to Lagos from Camp. There were other buses as well, and one of the buses was attacked, but the driver was able to maneuver somehow. The bus was the one behind my wife's. So, it's possible other buses were attacked too. Also, she noticed her bus driver was over speeding. They were all complaining, until he told them he has to get to a town before a particular time so as to avoid being attacked. Hence, the reason he was over speeding.

She got home safely, but she fell ill the next day and it was indeed a scary one.


PS: Please send a mail if you need any info.

Camped there batch C 2011 grin memories, stayed, was posted to Yola, GDDS Gwadabawa grin.

Cross country used to have camp arrangement then, that's what I used to camp.

For subsequent journeys, From Lagos you leave Ijora around 3pm and get there the next afternoon, let's say 4 pm depending on how the road is.

Things have changed now, don't know how safe is it to travel by road to that place and I think the nearest airport then was in Gombe. And if you are going by road from south west you must travel by night at some point in your journey. It's not safe nowadays I think, it was an adventure then crossing plenty states, eating pounded yam at Benue.

I Didn't work for one day at the school, that was during the mubi crises I think, Corpers were running to Yola town. The fear on their faces was terrible, one corper doctor attached to an hospital who ran to Yola town was narrating the bodies he saw, the guy was so traumatized, he came in the evening early the next morning he left for the east we said he should rest small for where, he did attache luxurious bus oo, because he didn't book down, he was that traumatized.

I think later in early February there was a mass relocation and some of us left for Abuja NYSC camp and we got relocated.

Yola is generally peaceful except theres a major crises.

There are only 4 states affected by violent islamists and they are Bornu, Yobe, Adamawa and now Niger. The first 3 are prominent while Niger state is the least affected.

It seems things have improved considerably ever since the government brought in fighter jets recently. It seems they have greatly reduced the islamists strengths and IDP's have started returning home.

Also, it may also surprise one that not all areas even at the hardest of times are affected by the terrorists.

I suggest you find out from people on the ground. Also, enquire from lorry drivers who ply northern routes.

I would suggest she doesn't go. I personally would not feel at ease.

Boy listen, show some respect despite that this is a faceless forum. I served in Adamawa in the year 2003. Where were you then? Calculate the difference with 2016. You are just a child. For your information, I have not lived 2 months outside Yola since 2003. Go and sit down, please. Adamawa is safe.

I lived and worked in Adamawa for 2 years,before leaving for Bauchi this month, I visited all local government area’s in Adamawa, and nothing happened bro even visited Belle a town under Maiha LGA, they share border with Cameroun, nothing ever happened!

She is safe, and the town is peaceful!
Forget about media, there is also an international airport if she wants to visit you or you want to come see her, I’m not from the north, but I really enjoy working here

It's just Camp. If she wants to go, let her.
Sometimes insecurity is highly exaggerated on social media.

Two years ago, I got posted to Taraba state to serve, had I heeded all the messy things pepole told me about the state, I wouldn't have gone there.
In the end, I went, I served the whole year before coming back home.

I wish her good luck in her pursuits

I dont know the location you are posting from, but I can confidently say your location is not safer than Adamawa as we speak. From Lamurde, to Numan, to Jimeta, Yola, Fuffore, Mubi, to Michika, Ganye, Song, Hong, Jadda and most places, the security challenges are the traditional structural conflicts, with major issue being that of farmers and herders and Shilla boys.
There is work on building resilience and social cohesion among communities once attacked by BH and other conflict.
Social life is at beheave in Jimeta and Numan but life is generally fair.
