I am currently in plateau state nysc orientation camp and with what i have seen so far, the government needs to do better as the 21days in camp can actually put you into depression if you are not bouyant in cash.

The officials have turned the place to a living hell and they find a means in all ways to extort student instead of making life very easy.

i will be pointing out some point thats need to be checked.

They disconnect all the socket in the camp and corp members are being forced to charge at the mami market.

Power bank goes for 100 naira and phones goes for 70 naira. You will have to charge everyday and lets say 200 naira per day for 21days thats total of 4,200.

using of the POS machine for cash withdrawal.

They do not charge the normal fee they do outside the camp.

To collect 1k is 100 naira and anything above that is 200 naira, 8k is 250 and 10k is 300.

Just imagine all this.

Most times we will have to buy water in the morning for 50 naira, when there will be no water in the tank to bath.

I thought the government make provisions for all this and i wonder why the officials are milking the people dry thru the maami market.

Toh it's your camp problem, where I camped everything was available but i still choose to buy with my money. There's always water sockets connected, everything available except the price of things is slightly high.

Well when i camped in Umunna Bende in Abia State, we had excess light, we had excess water. Borehole functioned 24/7. Then getting cash we were charged fairly cos withdrawals was made from ATM point and not POS that is in vogue now. The camp food made absolute sense and the officials were so cool..I really enjoyed my stay in Abia State gaskiya. I intend to visit there soonest when this IPOB madness has subsided.

I camped in mangu last year. Everything he said is true. But those people are businessmen. If they tell you how much they are charged, you’d be surprised. There’s an ATM at the admin block. Charging phone was N50.

That one na normal thing, before going to camp u sopos know say no be picnic u dey embark so.

NYSC CAMP BE LIKE PARAMILITARY TRAINING GROUND...NO EXPECT SAY NA PICNIC YOU GO!!!

Dem no go poshu u for camp if u no get money na u go just look dirty nd malnourished

Govt did make provisions for all that, but the corrupt nature of some people is what you are dealing with

Kaduna camp was not like this.

I miss Black Gold Camp

Guy,, sheey you dey eat camp food?
Or abi you dey buy food for Mami??
..
If you dey eat the camp food and also drink their water-colour tea without any augmentations, then your allawee go last for you.
But if Mami is your food spot, then my brother, even your personal money no go take you far

ok

Abuja camp was chilled.

Seems like you're just unlucky with your posting, when I served there was light for at least 15hours a day,my bed had a personal socket for charging,I was even provided with a double bed and I had 2 bunks to myself with a mosquito net,the only thing I can complain about is SAED

Greed

To serve Nigeria no be by force. Most of your complaint are not genuine.

-The disconnection of sockets is to prevent electrical faults or fire outbreak but the Commandant should have created some centre charging outlet that will be closely monitored by one of the camp officials.

-Somebody would have told you to get a better power bank before going to camp but you probably ignored it. Not those 1 timed cycled power banks but those that you won't need to recharge on your 1st week in camp and you just recharge 2 or 3 times before before orientation ends.

-Negotiate better with your pos operator, you should know they are in their season, after your 3 weeks of stay, they will go back to drink garri for months

- am surprised you didn't complain about those food sellers at the mammy market, surprised that you are ok with their rates

- the camp need to do something about water because without water, the camp will be in a mess. Buying a bucket of water for ₦50 is not kind, it's very cruel for an Otondo

All these things na normal levels naa.
We All saw it while we were in camp.

I served there in 2010. All what you said up there is very correct. I experienced them all. When did u serve?

NYSC IS A SCAM


I REPEAT!!!!


NYSC IS A SCAM

It's not the government, just the officials within.

I am sorry to hear of this your plight. On a serious note, Nigerian Officials, ministries, and workers need overhaul and conscious effort to restore sanity.

To those who would comment, "Na normal thing", know that the more we accept this rubbish, the more it fetters.

Nigerians are their biggest enemy

Ok

I had the same experience in Agwu, enugu camp. We pay to charge our phone, we buy water to bath and pos charges is 100 naira for every 1k. I noticed the only cheap commodity in mammy market is food, a plate of cooked food was sold for 300 naira
