MadCow1: Still surprised that many of us still commit the crime of baseless generalisation, pls no harm intended. You stated all these from very likely just one or two family houses to describe all the family houses in Nigeria. Haba! Its like using ur own church to describe all the churches in the world. Like someone already stated, not all family houses are the same. The one I stayed was near perfect, trust me. We really ate fat. Infact, the variety of food was more than I have at home, we never did night vigil, it was personal and you are not allowed to disturb others with it. Yes, two husbands visited their wives at different occasions and one stayed for two days. Family house was so fun that some corpers would occasionally spend more than 200 naira just to visit and spend time. My family house was really a family house, we discussed everything good from football to PES, relationship, politics, name it. We didn't address anybody as brother this or sister that, neither was Papa seen like a demi-God or reverenced like we do to pastors. For those complaining of hypocrites in the family house, what do you expect? Or don't you have hypocrites in every church? Family house is not for perfect people, and Papa and Mama are not better than you in anyway. Family house is a place for you to get better, no matter the title you carry. And mind you, in any gathering there is always a mixed multitude, and that includes thee family house. Oooo hw I miss my family! Ijebu-jesa, Osun state. 2013-2014 was really great. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I don't see a reason for this thread. I think it's out of reckless conclusions about matters you no next to nothing about. Who asked you what a family house looked like? Do you not have hypocrites amongst your friends and your immediate family? So what's all the cry? Many of you would have been stranded if some people have not thought of NCCF. Many are successful today because of somebody they met in the family house. Laws and all kinds of rules govern this world. So, if you know you can't abide by them, you excuse yourself. Did anybody force you? Why paint it to prospective Corp members as if it's a dungeon. It is not and never will be in your place to do that. To those saying you wake up by 5am. Let's see when you will wake up now when you have to go from ikorodu to Aja every morning. To those saying you will be bowing down for your fellow Corp member as Papo or Mamo. In your respective offices, don't you bow down to your bosses that are even younger than you? Hypocriteso! To those that took this to FP,shame on you. Living in family house was one of the highest points of my life because I formed meaningful and eternal relationships. So OP, get a life. There are better things to write about. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Family House is a very good place to stay...I lived there and was a Papa. But please, if you are in courtship, don't stay there! And let me add, I got my current job through the family house. 2 Likes |

Martins301: Well you know why you won't understand cos you re probably not a Christian or you are not a serious one! I hope all those you re Trying to mislead will read this! 1. I admit, family house has its disadvantages very numerous! Very very numerous! (Using NCCF as a case study) 2. Its a house for Christian corps members only (if you re not born again, you will find it difficult) 3. It non-denominational/inter-denominational: therefore it has rules to be able to accommodate every denomination (this is what they call hypocrisy) For instance: don't wear trousers for ladies is to accommodate both deeper life, anglican winners, redeemed.... Also in nccf u go for evangelism and ur host community mit also see trouser as something bad: and u carry the reputation of a christian corper: you preach d gospel in thesame street. That could be an hindrance like Paul taught us 'if eating meat will make my brother to fall I will rather not eat' 3. NCCF is a place where you meet people During my service year, I stayed in FH, and my roommate is a son of a very very prominent politician in the south south. Another roommate is now in the millitary. in family house I met a lady dat open a door to my business and within a month a had access to over a 100k. My business logo and graphics work was done for free by some in FH. I helped a friend in family house to secure a job with a multinational- she earns over 200k just less dan a year ago 4. If u can leave in family house, you can leave anywhere: it teaches u tolerance, self control long suffering, love patience which is a fruit of the spirit. 5. For many that got born again on campus: family house is a place to keep the fire and fervor in the things of God! 6. I'm currently taking a masters course somewhere in nig: and my papa(state papa) has been here to visit over 5times) we are in dsame state but diff town! He even brought foodstuff for me in december. 7. I met a Dr in family house and wen I had an issue he was just a ping away! 8. Its economical, wen u re broke, you see people to help! U can live in FH without a kobo for a month and survive! 9. The food will not always suit ur taste: then eat out when u can! Thank God I stayed in FH, I will stay again if I have opportunity to! What many people hammer on is privacy: I call it tolerance Hypocrisy: not at all, its also tolerance and self control Come to think of it, we had a special treatment with state cord NCCF will never die! RURAL RUGGED will never die 7 Likes 1 Share |

tuncy: Oga did you see anywhere I asked anyone not to stay in family house? I wrote the piece to give people a balanced perception of the consequence of staying there in response to the other thread. Please don't misquote or judge me out of context. |

I thought of creating this thread too Martins301 Some of the perks of staying in family house can be gotten staying outside family house if you're a dedicated and very active member of the fellowship. I see folks talking about contacts they made and what nots. Another misconception I'll like to point out is staying in the family house doesn't make one holier than those staying outside. The popular understanding on this thread is those staying out do so because of their 'funny' lifestyles. True to an extent but not in all cases. Also, Depending on location the family house might not be better off economically speaking. For example, I served in a place where I was given free accommodation just behind school, money for water when I needed. Family house was a bit distant from and would involve taking bikes which wasn't safe and involved money. Food was relatively ok so my 19k alone was more than enough to feed a brother and get other essentials. Another take on privacy. I feel you plan better when you're alone and the service year is a good time to do that. Staying with a roomie is enough distraction talk more of roomies. I'm aware that some of us like the warmth and 'corporate anointing' that comes with staying in the family house. All in all, it's always good to hear both sides of a story. In the end, we all have our choices to make. To each his own. 3 Likes |

My Experience... Out of camp and into the streets of Abuja...I had an accomodation already planned but because of the wonderful stories of NCCF Family house, I decided to go there... Packed my bag into the bus and off they drove... The family house is actually located in nassarawa state and there we went... We arrived with ever smiling faces and we were served with a big plate of rice and showered with so much attention and then they brought out the rules... We all thought it was a joke but the Bell by 4:30am made us realise that THIS IS SERIOUS... I did not experience much and I can't say much but seeing my fellow corps member changing in the bus and in shops along the street just made me realise that was not the place for me... I'm Born-again and I'm still Born-again without NCCF family house....I love my Privacy and I hate HYPOCRITES... 4 Likes |

It is common knowledge that NCCF family house is not conduscive for those looking for freedom and fun. Well i am a catholic and i stayed in NACC (national association of catholic corpers) house for about 2 weeks and i really enjoyed my stay because the rules were not strict ( you don't have to wear trousers to the bathroom). Most people were actually real not forming holy than thou, we could go out to hang out and do lot of stuffs without one brother dictating to us as far as you didn't exceed the limit. Finally, i knew i couldn't stay there because i needed to have my privacy and the distance of my ppa to my family house was too much. |

Undoubtedly NCCF does a great job by opening thier doors to stranded corpers they deserve much credit for that, although staying there in the long run is not entirely free, as paying N8,000 monthly if you do the maths is enough for you to be a tenant in your own right. |
