smakati: I was also posted to gombe.....I went to dat thread library ogbeche created but gombe was blank......tanks greatgeo for taking d lead....... Hehehe, my fellow diarylander is going to mallam sidi camp. Congrats! I went by air during my time, but most people that went by road got a bus to gombe straight from lagos and some 'broke' their journey by going to abuja first then boarded a cab from abuja, just as soyedamola said. I'd advise you gather people around you to make the journey interesting. Most of them had so much fun and I wished I also went by road. |

I used glo throughout my stay in camp, and it was okay. Had room mates that used mtn, so I think mtn is okay over there too... Have a safe trip to malam sidi camp. Its quite comfortable I must add. And by the way, I'm female.. and I redeployed, so all I know about gombe is mallam sidi camp and the airport! |

Re: A Thread For Corpers Posted To (mallam sidi) Gombe State by StateOfMind: 9:16pm On Mar 02, 2013 |
You can say that again, ..I was in their shoes last year and It was just too much to take in for me coupled with the fact that gombe threads dont attract posters like some other popular states, I found it difficult to get answers. At a point I thought I was the only one posted to that state but i eventually got more than enough info and the re-assurance I needed from 2 different nairalanders. Most of my friends did not redeploy and tried to persuade me to stay, but I just couldn't. And just like every other state, its the ppa and the town its situated that really matters, not the state in particular. |
Re: A Thread For Corpers Posted To (mallam sidi) Gombe State by StateOfMind: 9:30pm On Mar 02, 2013 |
greatgeo: Lol@ which bank dey there sef? Gombe aint that local na. I dint have a cause to use a bank throughout my stay but they sure have the popular banks over there. I redeployed to Oyo state and in as much as I redeployed based on health ground (I took to camp a doctor's report from a government hospital), so many others were given the freedom to redeploy based on insecurity. When we were being given redeployment forms to fill in camp, They initially said they would deny any redeployment based on insecurity (just health and marital grounds) but the DG came to visit us second week in camp and instructed the officials to grant anyone who wants to redeploy the freedom to go. More than half of us in camp eventually redeployed. LOL. This was last year july, I'm not sure how it works now. |

I enjoyed the experience though, but I don't plan returning there in a longggggggggggg while. lol How are you enjoying your service year, my senior corper?was at your ppa last weekend shaaaa |

All I can say is that serving in Gombe state is not as bad as 'we' Lagosians think It is..Der r banks,good BIS services,nd so on.Infact,plans r underway 4 an increase in our State Allowee. |
Re: A Thread For Corpers Posted To (mallam sidi) Gombe State by soyedamola: 9:01am On Mar 03, 2013 |
greatgeo:Sincerely,I'm just accepting the will of God to stay here,so I try to blend wats happening around me to my taste!..I even collected d redeployment form on camp..buh I had 2 later keep it.In short,It's good for any1 dat wants to redeploy but better if u stay. |
Re: A Thread For Corpers Posted To (mallam sidi) Gombe State by greatgeo(m): 1:30pm On Mar 03, 2013 |
soyedamola:@staeofmind and seyedamola you guys are really making me to have a rethink and hope something good come out of this cos I have so many stuffs I take care of in and around lag so may stick to redeployment for now.a friend equally told me that gombe is good and since I love pctures and travelling I may eventually come to love and that it seem they have new camp not sure though but with all I have hard from you guys its seem to be a nice place.hope the pupolation is not as hight as some other state in the north sha.God help me O |

greatgeo: Gombe camp is one of the best in the country..cos its new,nice facilities nd structures!..The population of corpers always posted to Gombe is not always much unlike other states..The state is a young state(created 1996) nd fast developing. |

Re: A Thread For Corpers Posted To (mallam sidi) Gombe State by usm537: 9:27pm On Mar 04, 2013 |
for those of you that have never been to gombe state. see some pictures here https://www.nairaland.com/1180649/surpising-gombe-state https://www.nairaland.com/1179076/gombe-state-roads-other-structures https://www.nairaland.com/1180208/views-gombe-state-inside-car plus gombe state has the lowest population in the north, so there is not much pressure on infrastructure as other places in the country, but of course you might not get all the stuffs you want like in abuja or lagos(shopping wise). |

My fellow gombe corpers....am @ abuja currently, I took bus, a stupid decision, I shld ve travelled by air, we left lagos 8:30am. We got here 7pm. So stressful ehn, d advantages of going by bus re - 1 cheap (N3,500) - 2.u get to see new places The demerits of going by road outweighs d merit. Pls com by flight if u can afford it. Am currently @ NCCF family house @ mararaba, nice reception frm dem....will continue to gombe tomoro. We jst finished praying....PM me if u nid help, good night.....I wish u all (and myself) safe journey |
