Nah, I can't influence it, I'm not that kind of person. My parents offered to work my posting to Lagos as at earlier this year, I turned the offer down. I like God's will o. As for the tricks, you'd gist me later**smiles**

Ok den.. anytime.

emmaesty got u.

Posted to Niger. I'm so devastated right now. my parents are worried. tired of crying. I've never lived outside Lagos before. And someone said the hostels are not conducive, container hostels ke?? *sigh

Make una dey talk, we need positive encouragement

Niger state is cool only if ur ppa is with in bida,minna,suleja,kontagora,new bussa....Niger state has one of the largest road network in Nigeria, you could be driving like 5 to 6hrs within the state esp if u coming from lagos through kwara state.
Those coming from lagos can get minna bus in otto oyingbo and the final bustop is either mobil or kpakungu where u get a cab to paiko camp. Had my service year at the ssg's office 2012/2013 batch b and am still based in minna.

Jamanuka, Toluxa1, elidi and sunboy, these people were posted to power state and will be needing your assistance in knowing more about all the 5 NYSC zones ( Bida, Minna, Kontagora, Suleja and Mokwa) that makes up Niger state. Prepare them as well for the windowless block hostels for males and the container hostels for the females.

My Oga, Longest time sir. Hope you're doing great. Congrats to all of you posted to Niger state. I welcome you all with two hands and one leg.
If you need anything feel free to contact me @ all. I was born and bred here in Minna, finished from FUT Minna too and was posted back here (I absolutely had no hand in it).

Niger is a great place, especially if you're in any of those 5 zones mentioned but no limited to them. I have friends in rural places that are flexing away and having fun. Some places are not so popular but only people there know the enjoyment there.

I have a friend that was posted to Borgu Local Government. Everybody told her its a village, its this and that, she cried and cried. Few weeks later, story change oo. She sent me pictures of the accomodation provided by her PPA, my room sef no fine reach am.. lol (pictures attached)

So I advice everyone to just have an open mind. Its just 10 Months.

One of the current challenges you might face after camp at the moment though is heat and bad light (this is a recent development, light used to be excellent here). We're not sure what's wrong but for some months now, light hasn't been great. 8hours daily on average. Well it's good for me as I have been selling alot of powerbanks lately to corpers (I have special discounts for corpers), NYSC officials, and the general public. Everybody needs it right now.

Hahaha, ta lo so be? Don't mind them jare. The hostels are Ok, not as bad as it sounds. After the first week or two though, they can get pretty nasty especially the male ones. This is what the female hostel looks like. Kaabo omo Eko

I don't even know how I feel about this posting, not happy, not sad. The only good part I can see is my elder bro was posted to Niger too, so I have company.

Your NL ID looks familiar. Seems you sang and uploaded the voice note on one thread about singing long ago. Not sure sha. Welcome dearie. Good your bro is here? What batch is he?

Hmm, this looks like Unilag BQs. Manageable!
How are you coping over there tho?

Things are very cheap here (food stuffs).

I bet you'll save a lot of cash here. The people are nice to corpers in fact they love corpers. At times you get some stuffs free or cheap when you put on corpers uniform.

There are lots.of things that'll make you wanna stay back... if only you ask, I'll gist you more.

Coping? I'm used to it. I have been here for over 25years Had my Nursery, Primary, Secondary and tertiary edu here.

sparkleRed:


no switch! Y na

I can only think of 2 reasons.
1. The place is a secondary school so I guess the students destroyed the sockets (you know in Naija we don't repair)

2. Pple pay camp officials to get space to run commercial charging, so it will be unfair if same camp officials provide sockets in the hostels.

Very true on powerbanks. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need.

kilmix:


I had same mixed feeling... I went to camp with my "doctored" doctors report but I didn't submit it.
Am enjoying my stay here tho.

If you are a lawyer posted to niger, I'll advice u to stay.

Morning dear, I was posted to Niger state. I feel so sad about it. heard the place is very hot. I'm planning to redeploy after camp. Any info on how i can go about it. Wish it was stream 2 sef. the thoughts of travelling down der alone scares me
