I am currently in plateau state nysc orientation camp and with what i have seen so far, the government needs to do better as the 21days in camp can actually put you into depression if you are not bouyant in cash.

The officials have turned the place to a living hell and they find a means in all ways to extort student instead of making life very easy.

i will be pointing out some point thats need to be checked.

They disconnect all the socket in the camp and corp members are being forced to charge at the mami market.

Power bank goes for 100 naira and phones goes for 70 naira. You will have to charge everyday and lets say 200 naira per day for 21days thats total of 4,200.

using of the POS machine for cash withdrawal.

They do not charge the normal fee they do outside the camp.

To collect 1k is 100 naira and anything above that is 200 naira, 8k is 250 and 10k is 300.

Just imagine all this.

Most times we will have to buy water in the morning for 50 naira, when there will be no water in the tank to bath.

I thought the government make provisions for all this and i wonder why the officials are milking the people dry thru the maami market.
lol

NYSC CAMP BE LIKE PARAMILITARY TRAINING GROUND...NO EXPECT SAY NA PICNIC YOU GO!!!

So you buy water to bathe in your paramilitary camp, abi?

What's bad is bad, biko!

I served, too, but because I have elder ones who have served, I was briefed enough to carry enough cash. I also hardly used my phone, so I didn't need to charge it often.

Before you ask me how I coped without internet, there were NO smartphones then! grin

Toh it's your camp problem, where I camped everything was available but i still choose to buy with my money. There's always water sockets connected, everything available except the price of things is slightly high.

Did you read where he mentioned where he is? If you didn’t here it is again..

To set up a space for business requires more money and also, socket are purposely disconnected because, of fire hazard, phone/laptop theft and other reasons best knoe to camp commandant.
This is not an excuse, then we shldnt have sockets in government buildings all over the country because of fire hazard.

It's an experience for 21 days and you are on your own. Try to make things happen anywhere you're posted. Nobody is extorting you.
At the end you will have story to tell like others.

Does being in a paramilitary training ground mean that things should more expensive than they usually are outside the camp? Is that what being a paramilitary camp is all about?

I thought we had it bad 15 years ago when I served but not knowing that things were about to get alot worse. Back then alot of the services you are paying for right now were virtually nonexistent so the avenues to exploit copers was slim but they still took advantage of our situation nonetheless.

This has been happening for more than a decade..

Those phone chargers and pos vendors paid huge sum to be allowed to do business in the camp. Including everyone in that mammi market

It's the government are the beneficiary of the money they paid

I served in Ogun state, to me that camp is the best in Nigeria. The camp has its own stadium, though I think it is owned by Remo stars. We had constant electricity and water supply. The camp is well structured and tared, the only place that wasn't tared was mami market. De Rok liquor had a mega stand then in camp and every night was Jayie night grin. They even brought beach sand to the camp.
I was a member of the security squad then so I basically didn't participate in any parade and most times I skipped SAED because I was posted to the main gate with the bomb squad, police and military. When ever De Rok liquor was passing the gate they always drop a bag of liquor for men to soft, even ladies drank to stupor. The cost of goods and commodities were fair priced.
Due to my joining the security squad I was given the privilege to pick where I'd like to serve, the place sha aggressively rejected me. Infact the place was the Ambassadors collage. After much toiling and rejection one small school in an uncompleted building accepted me. The owner of the school wanted to still delay salary after so much input I made in the school, I just jejely returned to my base and immediately got a really good government agency that requested for me.
In the end though I enjoyed my short stay in the South West.

It a common thing with northern states. It was like that in Sokoto about 11 years ago when I served.
