So I got Posted to a very rural area in Ijebu East, My God!! This place is like a forest or a forgotten land, I still can't believe places like this exist in Nigeria.. No light; No Water (at least not readily available), no good network, you need to drive for about 1 hr 30 minutes before you can get to the express where people are because the population there is so densed and no economic activity at all..Jeez.. I begged for letter of rejection tire but this principal didn't accept to give me oo, I even lied I had heart problem and the man just dey preach for me say make I no dey swear for myself..lol .. I sha collected the acceptance letter sha, even I know I cant have my ppa to be that place, the place is so scary in the day not to talk of night and I even heard how kidnapping is rampant..

So Corp members which of you was posted or have been posted to such a place; how did you cope and what was your experience?

Below is the picture I took of how the area is.. where we are expected to live.

Have pirry on those village gals oooo

Bro, the service to the fatherland involves anywhere within its territories. Some corpers get urban places, some get rural places. Just serve your country diligently as much as you are comfortable with.

Its only NYSC that makes people know places like this still exist. I'm a bit of a traveler myself, and I've seen worse places.

May God bless you during your service year and may it help both Nigeria and you in developing.


I know I wasn't a saint during mine, but please take it easy on them village girls

@op I was also posted to a village. Initially I thought the place was horrible, there was no electricity I just couldn't find anything positive to say about the place. But now just one month down the line I like the place. Things are cheap I no fit chop #100 food finish. I'm saving a lot of cash than I would if I were posted to the city. They adore corpers like kilode over here. On the down side I'm still trying to adjust to the food, language barrier and boredom. But corpers have found ways of making the place lively for ourselves. Let's just begin the countdown to when we live.. I'm serving in oyo state as far as I've got Internet connection what more can I ask for?

Wow good for you.. I hope I will adjust too but a major concern for me is that the place is densely populated and very far from the express roads.. things doesn't seem to be cheap too, although I just bought a drink which usually cost 100 box in lagos for 110.. I don't know the prices of other stuffs tho..
