Review provided by Nnamno N.
Posting-I was posted to Delta State. The camp is in
a village called Isselle – Uku, about 20 minutes from
Asaba, the capital. The moment you cross the gate,
that is it – you cannot leave until the end of the 3
week orientation unless you’re extremely sick or
near death. In my case the Camp Commandant i.e.
the big shot soldier guy who is not to be messed
with, sent all the pregnant women and nursing
mothers home to re-register when they could be
away from their children for the whole 3 weeks.
Registration at camp – Annoyingly enough there is
another registration process in camp, and because
we were about 2400 young men and women in my
camp, average registration completion took 3 days.
Mine took a week because I got my Call – Up letter
but didn’t read the back until I had entered Delta,
meaning I had to ask my family to send my
University degree and Student ID by Delta Line
courier service. In the interim, I had to purchase
extremely undersized shoes, as every single person
was required to wear white t – shirts, shorts and
shoes everyday and the small market within camp
didn’t have my shoe size. It was a pitiful and painful
week.
Platoons & Soldiers – Each participant is assigned
to a platoon led by soldiers. All 12 soldiers sent to
supervise us were Hausa except one or two who
were non-Hausa women. The soldiers were
incredibly strict by day while supervising us, but lax
by night when they were not in uniform. The one or
two people that messed with them ran with
buckets of water on their head shouting “I be
mumu!!”…I certainly wasn’t messing with anyone.
The Camp Commandant had various rules also, one
of which was “don’t be caught using your phone on
the parade/assembly ground”… some intelligent
idiot defied him and the Captain simply collected
the phone and threw it away…and yes, it was a
blackberry.
Lectures- We had mandatory lectures from 9am to
2pm on entrepreneurial skills. Different small
business owners would come to camp offering to
teach us about bead making, baking, construction
work, IT servicing, make up and how to get jobs
with few companies. Two problems: attending
these lectures were torturously boring – at least for
me – because there were no breaks and often
times you had to stand the whole time; secondly it
is rare to find someone who spends years in the
University to come out and learn bead making, or
collecting government loan to start a farm as they
were encouraging during these lectures. Those who
were caught leaving the multi-purpose hall did 200
push ups, 150 frog jumps and whatever else the
soldiers considered fun under the sun.
Food – We were fed three times a day from a
kitchen run by incredibly hard working women who
were assisted by Youth Corpers for each meal.
There was a lot of garri and soup, porridge beans,
and jollof rice. On rare occasions, someone would
donate a cow and we’d eat meat. Fish caused fights
because the pieces were so small and we were
entitled to one each so naturally people duped
others by colluding with their friends serving food
and stashing more than their share. However,
some people patronized surrounding mama
puts that served meals costing between 200 – 400
naira. Meals included indomie, jollof rice, salad, garri
and soup, add-on proteins, etc. There were over 12
mama puts around this camp market.
Water – In the mornings, tankers brought water to
the camp, and water was pumped at night.
However, water would finish in less than 2 hours
because people had to wash and shower. As for
drinking water you either bought pure water or
bottled water; there was no free drinking water
whatsoever. If you went the pure water route you
most certainly got typhoid after camp because
there was a different company bringing their “pure”
water every 4 days. As for the toilets, all pit latrines
(cleaned daily), but the majority of Corpers went to
toilet around the hostels, so the only way you slept
at night was simply out of fatigue from the day
because the stench around the hostels could
destroy your nostrils – especially the girls hostel!
Oh my goodness! It was so bad the Camp
Commandant complained about it.
Summary- If there’s anything NYSC achieves it is
multi – ethnic cohesion. The population of the
camp was overwhelmingly dominated by Igbo
youth, followed by Yoruba youth, other South –
South youth, and a handful of Hausas and
Northerners. I don’t know the reason for such an
imbalanced demographic but we all got along
stunningly well. Group activities like marching,
cooking for the camp, and doing sanitation
motivated unity of purpose among all of us. There
was a lot of inter-dating amongst tribes too…
All in all, camp encouraged us to treat each other with equality,
just that it went on for too long: 3 weeks is too much!! And if
you think that’s the end the real suffering begins right after
camp when you have to get posted to one of four government
sectors: health, infrastructure, energy, or education. 4 Likes |
