And what is this fun they're having if I may ask?

Sleeping for four hours everyday?

Standing for lectures for 5hours?

Spending thousands of naira in exchange for 19800?

Spending thousands of naira to charge your phone?

Going for parades that adds absolutely no value to you?

Sleeping in rooms filled with smokes from cigarettes?

I sincerely don't know what fun they're talking about.

prixxy7: Been reading so many comments so far and I must say some peeps ar just selfish! Yes selfish ȋ̝̊̅is d word! Just becos you dont want d 3 weeks camp, you den come on here and say all sort of tins. Y do U̶̲̥̅̊ find joy in rejoicing wen people ar not happy. Wat ȋ̝̊̅§ NYSC witout experiencing d 3 weeks camping? So many people crave seriously ƒø̲̣̣я̅ dis experience, some people have rily looked forward to dis time, yet some people come on here and say d 3 weeks camping doesnt make sense, wat a selfish attitude. Self problem! Ƒø̲̣̣я̅ d fact dat it ȋ̝̊̅§ a free world and freedom of opinion doesnt mean you rejoice over people's pain. So many pretenders! And sokarsenal, ur reasoning rily baffles me. Smh!

prixxy7: like I said and wil still say, SPEAK FOR YOURSELF! Its ur choice to have fun out of d activities in camp. And if U̶̲̥̅̊ dont like it rest. If EDO state camp a'int good, dat doesnt mean oda camps ar not good ok?! And yes, I in particular want to stand ƒø̲̣̣я̅ dat 5hrs and listen to d "boring" lecture, and I want to partake in dat drill and parade and sleep on d 3 inches mattress and queue up ƒø̲̣̣я̅ food. At least dea ȋ̝̊̅§ a STORY to tell! Some people in camp have FUN while doin dis tins bro! So speak ƒø̲̣̣я̅ urself.

This is like when one tells you the travails of poverty and you reply by saying, yes, I want to experience the hunger, I want to experience begging for food, I want to experience begging for transport.

Infact, I want to experience that poverty for three weeks.

Anyway, it seems you won't agree with me and I obviously won't agree with you. So I think it's better we agree to disagree at this moment


Cheers

Exactly what I was about to post. They have made their decision. It might be pleasurable to some, and otherwise to others. But what has been said, has been said. It's best to just leave it like that and looK forward to the camp-less service. Besides, complaining on NL won't change anything. If at all you want to lay a complaint, send a text to that DG's number. And like some people have been saying, it's all for a reason... A good one at that. Cheer up, guys!

Sowl: News update about NYSC stream ii batch B. The Stream II State Coordinators had a meeting with the
Director General Brig. Gen. J. B. Olawumi yesterday 18th
August, 2014 at the NYSC National Directorate Headquarters,
Abuja.
At the end of the meeting which lasted for about 2 hours and
ended at about 5:58 PM, management was able to reach a
consensus that >>
There will be no conventional camp for Stream II Corps
Members ie (No Lectures, Drills, Parade, etc) only registration
which should not exceed 2days at most and they leave the
camp. They will come back in 2weeks for their posting letter.
This is very to curb all chances of prospective corps members
contacting the deadly Ebola Virus while trying to serve their
father land.
Relocation forms will also be filled alongside registration for
those interested & successful Corps members gets their
relocation letters immediately & report to the State of
relocation in 2weeks.
Corps Members will open accounts as usual & receive all
their allowances ie bicycle, transport & 1st monthly allowance
usually given on camp.
The Stream II date starts Sept 1st and ends Sept 8th (8days
only). So Stream II NYSC staff & other camp officials are
spending just 8days on camp.
NOTE: If a Corps member registers and is issued kits & gets
all allowances, he/she leaves the camp till 2wks time to
collect posting letter.
So in a nutshell no Orientation Course for Stream II Corps
members.
Once fine-tuning is completed, updates will be posted on our
website before the week runs out. The DG NYSC will grant
some press interview on the matter soonest.
Above is the summary of the update on Stream II.
You will be informed of other developments on it
subsequently.
From a reliable inside NYSC source!!

saheed63:
yes. you're very correct.

prixxy7: #thumbs down!

sokarsenal: . Hahaha....GBAM......that's Nigerians for you......it is the same people that came here to complain about rubbish toilets and hygienic conditions, regimented lifestyles, etc some days ago that would still come and act like we are missing anything we have not experienced in life before.....even my man Ojestas that was 'in spirit at home and body in camp' just 5 days into camp is now claiming I'm missing something heavenly........lol

cutiepie01: He came to our camp last week wednesday.He'll be visiting all camps in all the states before the end of camp.He gave us 2cows.I think he gave money too to man-o-war or so.

tnuola: Seriously tho, you're in camp ure not enjoying it but you've got stories to tell. People at home want to tell stories too.. I think its really not fair for those in camp right now to go on and on about how camp isn't any fun blabla.. I personally have looked forward to the three weeks for yearsss but we ain't going no wahala.. But please don't come on here going on and on about how hellish camp is, if you were in our shoes I bet you'll react this way or probably worse

mikedimeji:
Prixxy7, 1st pls I will want u to calm down. The truth is that good or bad let every body go an witness what the camp looks like for that 3weeks at least if for nothing the experience, more so that some of the same batch B guys are already in camp. Having said that, no thanks to EVD at this time. I have sent messages to the DG conveying our grievances, for me personally if I must tell u provided all our NYSC entitlement will be complete and We will be given our discharge certificate at the end of the schemes whatever stupid decision they decide to take at this moment is their headache. As long as they didn't say stream 2 has been suspended till further notice. We need to start encouraging ourselves to stylishly get over all this. So pls don't take it personal.

rationalmind:

Bros, the anger inside of me as far as this camp is concerned is indescribable.

I'm really envious of you guys.

rationalmind:

You'd rather not want to hear the truth about camp?

If I were in your shoes? Trust me, my only regret is not being in your shoes.

sokarsenal: . If you want an avenue to have fun......maybe because you have been restricted by your parents your whole life.....I'd understand....but comeone NYSC has made the decision.....there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you can do about it....NOW deal with that.......Make of that whay you will

sokarsenal: . Hahaha....GBAM......that's Nigerians for you......it is the same people that came here to complain about rubbish toilets and hygienic conditions, regimented lifestyles, etc some days ago that would still come and act like we are missing anything we have not experienced in life before.....even my man Ojestas that was 'in spirit at home and body in camp' just 5 days into camp is now claiming I'm missing something heavenly........lol

Ojestas: Get me right! i don't like being misquoted. I am not Saying its heavenly and i am not saying it is not. What looks like a bad or bitter experience to me might feel good to you. Not everybody here is complaining. i love the experience. either you enjoy camping or not; i tell u, its not an experience worth missing. Despite all my complaints, i am still in camp and alive and in 6 days , m coming out with a handful of story and experience .

Ojestas: same here but he gave a cow

rationalmind:

The bolded is very true. It's really baseless.

Sorry if you feel disappointed you're not going.

I however don't think that feeling disappointment is the best thing to feel.

emenik08:

I no dey vex oo bt i no dey like wen pple dey pretend lyk somtin no dey pain dem. The major tin dat 95% of d pple i v seen luk 4wrd to is d campin. It is only wen we leave our comfort zone dat we will really no wat we r wired for. Most pple discover dia talent durin periods lyk dis bt due to biasd mindset or our basin judgement on wat my broda or my frnd or my sister told me one will be jubilatin dat he/she won't be goin for d '3wks hell fire'. Its quite funny

sokarsenal: . Bro you of all people should know better....you can't force people to understand your point of view when they are biased towards something even if you have all the evidence and facts supporting your claims.........someone OBVIOUSLY restricted at home wants to have fun in camp....let them be.........for some other people like me if I want 'fun' for 3 weeks i'd simple take my box and go spend time with my friends in UnILAG or UNN or UniUYo and club as I like.....other people are practically LOCKED AT HOME and some are still camping in the states their parents LIVE....so apart from the 3 weeks camp its RESTRICTION all the way.....PITY THeM , DON'T CONVINCE THEm....................
MAke of This What You Will

Ojestas: Get me right! i don't like being misquoted. I am not Saying its heavenly and i am not saying it is not. What looks like a bad or bitter experience to me might feel good to you. Not everybody here is complaining. i love the experience. either you enjoy camping or not; i tell u, its not an experience worth missing. Despite all my complaints, i am still in camp and alive and in 6 days , m coming out with a handful of story and experience .

sokarsenal: . True somepeople in stream II are SORE GRAPES e dey pain them say them no camp, but they are just making themselves feel better....but my point is there is no SERIOUS reason that should be your problem, except you have planned to go drink yourself to stupor and act so stupid as to have sex and other silly things in camp.....things you can do any other day
