Hey guys... So when I printed my call up and saw Yobe, I was mad. I contemplated not serving at all. I wanted to wait for the next batch but with encouragement and words of advice from people that have camped in yobe in January this year. I decided to grab my fate by the gonnads. Two days to the day I was supposed to report to camp I packed my things and off I went from owerri to onitsha I boarded a bus to bauchi. In short, the journey took almost two days. Reaching potiskum in yobe state where the orientation camp is located. You know with all the security challenges and boko haram we were thoroughly searched before being allowed into the camp. I got in, did my registration and everything.
My people, my people to cut the whole story short, yobe orientation camp is very nice and friendly in terms of weather, the camp officials are all nice people including the soldiers. Though, most of us have applied for redeployment, If not for the distance I would have served in yobe state.
Yesterday I was part of the corps members that served dinner. My stay so far is fairly fun.
This is for those who are gonna be posted to yobe in subsequent batches. Do not despair. If I can find yobe fun, then anyone can.

You should have stayed rather than redeploy. Now you want people to stay.
