#COPIED

WEEP FOR THE YOUTH OF NIGERIA.
The killing of Samuel Okonta, a corps member during the Rivers state rerun election was a tragic incident but not as tragic as its aftermath when other corps members were seen jubilating four days after.
The omen was clear before the election in Rivers that it was going to be bloody. The killing of a major and some other security operatives made the possibility of deaths inevitable. Sadly, an innocent corps member who was serving his country in the promotion of democracy was caught in the senseless political face-off. The poor orphan who had spent years in the university lost his life due to harsh political terrain fueled by Governor Nyesom Wike of the Peoples Democratic Party and Mr Rotimi Amaechi of the All Progressives Congress. It was tragic.
But the real tragedy happened four days after when Governor Wike paid a condolence visit to the headquarters of the National Youth Service Corps in Port Harcourt. He vowed that the perpetrators of the slaying of Okonta will be brought to book. As an act of magnanimity, he announced a mouth-watering increment in the monthly allowance of corps members serving outside Port Harcourt from N10, 000 to N15000. He also increased the state monthly allowance of corps members serving in Port Harcourt from N5000 to N10000. The corps members went wild in jubilation. It was the best news they had heard in months. They had forgotten why the governor visited in the first place. It was heart-wrenching.
The youths they say are the leaders of tomorrow. The corps members are potentially on the verge of taking the reins of the country but unfortunately, a mere N5,000 increment decided their fate. That they were lined up like sardines with some flaunting their painted lip stick showed little solidarity for their dead comrade. A number of them who were seeing the governor for the first time were eager to bring out their phones and take historic pictures of the governor. They were motivated by the promise of money and lost their head in the process. Four days after the death of their dead comrade and they could not show in character their displeasure at the inability of the state to protect them. Anyone of the excited corps members could have been the unfortunate one.
One might wonder why Governor Wike did not deem it necessary to increase the allowance of the corps members before the tragic incident. His magnanimity was apparently a political move to score a point and sadly, it worked. The corps members in Rivers state showed that they could be bought easily with money. This is a bad omen for a country hoping to turn a new chapter in its history and create a society where people will be able to hold their head high and not swayed by money.
My take: Unfortunately, the celebration shows the Utopian future we look forward to now looks bleak. This would have been a perfect ground for the youth to radically look at the governor in the face with a unified peaceful warning to all political parties to desist from killing youth Corp members serving their motherland lest they provoke the Nigerian youth uprising which they can never stand. Sadly, that was not to be, as #5,000 was enough to make them rejoice upon the grave of Samuel Okonta. It is indeed a sad day.

Note carefully that there were unconfirmed news that two corp members actually died as a result of the election issues and that some girls were raped right there at their polling unit. Corp members were attacked. Corp members in some local govt can no longer wear their khaki because of fear.

If this really moves you. Retweet the tweet #riverskopa2016 and call on well-meaning organizations to look into our plight.

Your statement of result is kinda equivalent to your certificate in camp. So anyone is fine. But am not sure of it serving as an ID card

For those that would be posted to Rivers State, every Corp member is posted to a school except if you are a doctor or a lawyer. Lawyers are posted to the ministry of justice and doctors and other medical related fields are posted to the hospital or medical centres. Please no corp member would be posted to any company ooooo. Except if the law changes tomorrow. Also some agric related students might just be posted to a few farms. Please take note

Its really unfortunate that Nigerian Graduates no longer see the line. I just have a feeling this increase is merely a compensation for the death of a graduate who has undergone so much in school and a mere token of 5k is thrown at our face. We accept it as if its Manna from Heaven. Federal Govt, Get us out of here before they increase the money as compensation for another corp member

Also for any questions you might have concerning serving in Rivers State, do please drop your questions here. I would try my best to give an idea of what I know. Thanks for your time

Some extra pictures just for youuuuuuuuuuuu

Some items that can be bought at cheap prices from the MCAN mosque when you get to camp.

The MAMI market. But the structure will look completely different by the time you get to camp. This is mostly where you spend more of your money. If you want to stay rich in camp, stay away from the MAMI market

A few hostel pictures

oglalasioux:
Is this a weather beaten primary school?

And it's in one of the richest states in Nigeria.

Some corp members are actually living in camp now. Just the way you see it. Forget the issue of richest state my guy

The church structures in Camp. A lot needs to be done for our religious homes in Camp. Both mosque and church

MCAN mosque and the ablution center. Our main reason of visiting the camp

The soldiers lodge. Well the settings is the same as the hostels. I was not able to get to the hostels to take shots. But they are essentially the same

More pictures of the registration hall

The registration hall. Most sensitization programs take place in this hall. You also start your registration here. Do expect it to be full to the brim when you arrive camp

Pathway to the registration hall, mosque and church from the pavilion.

The SAED Office. Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development. An Initiative to help corp members become self-reliant. Also during the 2015/2016 Batch B, there was a business proposal contest where corp members won cash price. If you are interested, you could start your business plan now before you get to camp. Who knows, you might just be the lucky winner.

The clinic. Well, the doctors are also corp members and some doctors who are not corp members. So please just stay healthy in Camp.

This is the pavillion. It is the parade ground. It is supposed to be a 4500 capacity stadium. But you would know its actual capacity when you get to camp. This is where you meet with the soldiers almost every day. Most of the activities of corp members are either at the parade ground or the registration hall.

The corp statue at the front of the OBS.

The office of the OBS. Its Orientation Broadcasting Service. Its the Radio Station on Camp and are mostly in charge of Public Address Systems during any event. The other side of the office is where you register your bank details and also the other section is where you get your first allawee and your transport and bicycle allowance

The path to the registration hall, hostels and other parts of camp

The security post once you enter the gate of the camp. That is where you would normally start your registration and the security would search your belongings for any unwanted item

This is the entrance to the camp. The sign post was constructed by a corp member. If you are thinking of something to do for NYSC. That is a good one

Assalamu Alaikum, Good morning. As a member of the Muslim Corp Members in Rivers State, we went toNYSC camp to try and prepare the mosque for incoming corp members. However, I took the opportunity to get some shots of the camp for incoming corp members. I hope its informative and educative enough. Thanks
