A female National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member serving in Kwara State has lost her life. She died at the NYSC camp in Yikpata, Edu local government area.

The deceased, Amadi Eva Ichechukwu with registration number KW/18A/0135, Batch A, from Rivers State, was said to have died due to injuries she sustained during a “Man-O-War” drilling exercise at the ongoing orientation camp.

The deceased who studied Oil and Gas at University of Port Harcourt, it was gathered, was said to have been full of life before her mobilisation for the one year mandatory service to father land.

Investigations revealed that the deceased was said to have fallen off the string in the course of Man-O-War drilling exercise at the orientation camp.

A source said after falling off the string, she was hurriedly rushed to the NYSC clinic at the camp for medical attention where she was attended to by medical personnel who are also corps members.

However, it was also gathered that when the deceased condition worsened, NYSC management rushed her to General Hospital in Ilorin for further medical attention where she reportedly died.

So sad!
All NYSC camps are poorly equipped medically!
This is a wake-up call!

The girl died of "Chacharikita I Do Like This, I balance well" dance ni?

During my time in 2011, I was so skeptical about that life-threatening rope climbing

God knows I never moved an inch to that Man'O war arena to do anything. Shey na training dem go do dere or to snap pictures.

RIP lady

Do not falsify medical reports.

In order to undergo such training they must have your medical report.

If you know u are not capable of doing something, dont do it...in my time not all corp members participated in the drills, they are also different drills, some skipped some and did others...

Really sad event for the family of this departed corp member,
RIP to her
and Now her watch is ended

So pathetic, Rip lady

Funny how people lay down their lives to serve one stupid country that's not ready to serve you...


Come carry me climb rope na.... Mtcheeew

Rip to her
So painful
Not everybody has the ability to go through such exercise,it was God that save my sister during her time.

Rip. But it would have been avoided. Its not compulsory to climb those robe

Just Imagine...

That's so sad, she didn't die during her 5years in d uni only to die at d latter stage of everything, may d Lord console her family..
But i still don't know the essence of this yeye drill,,,,

Sad. Another roadside blog said she had a fracture bla bla bla. Its just sad a young vibrant life has gone just like that, she must have died of uncontrolled internal bleeding
A collegue who was on call when she was rushed to the hospital also painted a somewhat similar picture.

Bottom line: A vibrant youth has fallen to our shitty health system.
An autopsy would be in order

R.i.p dear
Bad news everywhere.

Had nothing to do with medical condition ...she fell from a height , it could happen to anyone

RIP, something must kill a man Funny pic though. Enugu camp was dope that that year.

It will never be well with Buhari

We need to scrap this nonsense NYSC!

Its useless exercise & waste if time!

check ur blood/heart function, mbanu! It is well

It's quite unfortunate, Nigeriabs often die in NYSC camp.

Since i left camp, I still wonder what NYSC exactly stand for.
What exactly do we stand to achieve in Man o war drills; we just did it for doing sake anyways.

I also had some health issues while in uyo camp, the medical center is moderately ok but it often run out of supply real quick, I apply to go outside camp to get drugs but all was denied.

I still have strong believe that NYSC will be a productive scheme if corp members are made to partake in (SAED) throughout the program..

Thanks for the clarification. The word man o war shows some sort of rigorous military type training, I guess.

But medical reports do go a long way in avoiding some mishaps. And many people falsify them.

OMG.
This is sad.

Yes. I'll ask her why.
