As we all know, this one year national service comes with the good, the bad and the ugly. Many enjoyed or are currently enjoying their PPAs while some could hardly forget the type of suffering they went through (or they are passing through) all in the name of NYSC.

About 90% of corps members who did nothing to influence their postings, usually experiences one challenge or the other in carrying out their primary assignment, ranging from language barrier, ethno-religious and cultural differences (including the food most common in their host community), primary assignment itself;- since education sector absorbs more than three quarter of the total population of corps members and we know for sure that not every graduate can teach well because they all must not be B. Ed holders. Some graduates have never taught anybody in their life. So the experience is grossly lacking.

In fact, the challenges are too numerous to be summarized by one person's experience alone. They are unque and specific to individuals and location- varying from person to person and from location to location.

Feel free to share your own, funny, interesting or pathetic as it may be, whether you are still serving or you finished some hours, days, months or even years ago.
