Should the corpers continue suffering the negligent irresponsibility of the government? I think this is what the Governor is fixing.

Camped in Yikpata.

I had typhoid, malaria, dysentery and fever. Every single thing about that jungle is odd. I did not taste their meal for once. Spent a lot of money feeding at Maami, but two weeks into the whole thing, I realized that the water they use in cooking the food at maami is from a flowing river.

Needless I say, that was the source of all the sickness I dealt with.

People blaming Saraki and Co.
NYSC is a Federal Scheme and a Federal conceived idea.
Can't the graduate corp members posted there year in- year out complain and write a strong petition?
Leaders all over the world fear social media.
What are the appointed NYSC state coordinators doing. What is NYSC Chief doing. They all don't care for there subjects.
According to Patience Ebele Jonathan to EFCC when queried about the billions found in her account; "Did any anybody complain about whether he/she lost money"
If you stay silence, something's will forever remain same. The mentality of our politician is selfishness and greed.
Graduates that know nothing about their right. Even the law graduates and Medical graduates posted there don't know their right, what a shame.

His dad ruled kwara by taking people's money from government confer and sharing it by himself while Saraki govern by stealing people's money and sharing it on himself.

Haba Oga, I also had a personal experience about life at Yikpata. It's not as how you addressed it, after all there are some Camp that are even more worse than that. We have to be more lenient in the way we paint our image in this country

Let me assume you served in 1979 when the camp was just built... That guy was even lenient in his explanation of Yikpata.


Please which of the Guy's narration was a lie? I served in 14c and that camp is the worst in the country.
No fence
No water
We washed our clothes in streams or give it to nupe ladies to wash for us.
No toilet (we bathed outside)
No good network
We slept inside the hall without light
Snakes and scorpion were strolling.
The only fun part were sports and going to the stream to chill...



The picture below we give u full detail of the hall we slept in...(boys and girls) with no bunks or fans. Let me just stop here abegi

If there’s anything in my assessment that is wrong kindly point it out.

Is the fact that a corps member was killed by a snake.

For you to know that I know what I was saying. I went back to that same camp 3times after my 3weeks stay there. Twice for Lectures and once to meet my LGI during the next camping on Okada through the bush and forests(shortcut). My allowance wasn’t paid for 3months. My LGI has to send me to another LG that was about 30kilometers after the Camp(crossing the bridge of one of the rivers that streamed into river Niger) to collect my allowance that was being paid to another LG.

So essentially I’ve been to that camp ground 4times. I believe I should know the route around that place more than anyone who’s been there only once.


When I was a Corp member there the camp had no hall. It was an uncompleted building.

Guy, what year did you serve? l was at yikpata also. Was a bitter sweet experiences. Camp facilities very poor. 2015 was still a memory.
Guy Yikpata na only animals fit survive there.


That camp is fvcking dry, always hot, snakes and scorpions everywhere.

The food is next to poison, even when you have your money.The food is prepared with water from that shiity stream.

The water is gotten from a gully they termed stream.

The camp clinic has only paracetamol and malaria tablets and they will not give you more than 2 dose.

A bucket of water to bath was sold to us at #50; now do the maths if you bath 3 times a day for 21 days.

The SAED was torturous cos you'll have 50 corp members in one canopy under heavy sun learning some dumb craft. 50 or more corp members learning graphics with one dead laptop.


Guy, I was fvcking mad at the camp's organization.

I recall correctly when I served, I bathed in that bathroom the first day I entered Yikpata, it was not a good one at all. Till I left that camp, I bathed outside after that once trial.
But aside that, Yikpata is really a true taste of camping, just forest for people to leave. For me, it was the best! That was real camp! No fences no coverage just forest! Real fun.
I forgot my Cubicle, but I think Hostel K, check my sign out on the wall, "Shaev7 was here." Happy new batch....

Yikpata camp with preponderance of challenges. Lack of adequate water, dilapidated toilets, hostels and bathroom. Was really scared that year with testimonies of corps members with scorpion. By and large the camp was fun sha with all these challenges.

Ogun State's camp remains one of the very best if not the best orientation camp in this country. I never felt irritated for one day using the bathroom or toilet during my time there in 2017.. Fully tiled and functional. The accommodation was also great. Neat rooms with electric socket at each bunk.

In 2005/2006, same cannot be said about Sagamu Camp.


But it was so much fun.

Banks are next to the camp and you can get loads of money to play with.

to my surprise, the next batch confirmed to us that the borehole is not functioning at all.


Choi that's how my Lil bro called me this morning that there's no water in the camp for corppers to bath with... I just pity the boy, told him to dress up like that. That's 9ja for you.

That's how we survived that year. Grasses taller than human beings. Scorpions and snakes everywhere and mosquitoes that pierced through khaki to bite you. No network, terrible meals even at maami market where I wasted money for three weeks. Bathing and pooping outside. Yikpata camp. Hmmmmm.

Yikpata camp


A camp in the middle of nowhere. The most obscure NYSC camp I know in in the country.


That place is supposed to be converted into prison or military training camps for jungle combats. Even prisoners will complain.

No water
No toilet
Far from civilization
One single network back then(MTN)

No wonder a Corp member died a batch before mine due to snake bite.


That's very true. only Mtn network back then. Scorpions everywhere,
i had my bath outside all through. and short-put all the way.
Guess you are Batch 10B, because we were told that snake bite story of a batch before ours as well.
even if you escape from camp then, you will come back yourself because there is nowhere to go. that camp is really middle of nowhere.

Yikpata too has classrooms converted to hostel called ecomog.

Yikpata is worst. It’s justfew kilometers from river Niger.

The closest civilization to the camp is over a 100km away from the camp site. Even when you get to the entrance of the camp, Apart from the old bus stop, the sign board and the communication mast at the junction, if anyone tells you there are over 3000 Nigerian youths sleeping inside the bush less that 500meters from the road side(where you stand), you’d find it hard to believe. Meaning if you’re standing on the road beside the camp, you won’t see anything to tell you that there are over 3000 people just 500m from that road. That is to tell you how thick the forest jungle around the camp is.
You know our camp very well. I served there in 2014. Even our NySC DG then, Johnson Olawumi said the place is not good for prisoners talk less of corpers

Yikpata camp was nothing to write home about when I served in 2014. Male and female stay in same hostel. No toilet. We bath outside both male and female. When the then DG came, he was highly disappointed. He said even prisoners are much better than US. He met with the Governor but only little changes was done. That camp needs a total overhaul
