Well when i camped in Umunna Bende in Abia State, we had excess light, we had excess water. Borehole functioned 24/7. Then getting cash we were charged fairly cos withdrawals was made from ATM point and not POS that is in vogue now. The camp food made absolute sense and the officials were so cool..I really enjoyed my stay in Abia State gaskiya. I intend to visit there soonest when this IPOB madness has subsided.
We will be waiting

You people just come online to speak any how.
I'm currently serving in Plateau.
Some of the things you said are not totally true
1. Socket was disconnected because of the way corpers are using it based on pass events.
Just take a good looks at how the fans wires have been disconnected for charging of phone. Also, since I came I have been using the socket close to my bed to charge my phone same with others but when people started complaining that their phone is stolen while charging it they came yesterday to disconnect all the socket.
2. It is hot water that is being sold for N50, not cold water. Again, some corpers once there is no water in their block they will find it difficult to go to the next block. There has never been a time where you won't see water in any of the blocks. But lazy corpers don't want to go to other blocks to get water.
3. As for pos, 2k is N100 not N200.
Another thing I have also observe is the stubbornness of the corpers, corpers are very stubborn especially from my hostel. Also, we always want our right to be respected by camp officials but we don't respect ourselves, we don't even behave like graduate.

This isn't a general problem. When I served in Katsina we had access to water and there was always light though sockets were disconnected for mostly safety reasons but not monetary gain. We had ATM machine in the camp.

Good bless you for your comment. I have seen so many lame defences Im like are ppl real or have brains or zombies.
Ayomi90:

gateway international stadium, and hey boy nobody is arguing with u , even people that camped in lagos know ogun state was better

Has the Ogun state nysc camp been moved to Abeokuta from shagamu or do corpers travel all d way to Abeokuta just for lecture during camping?

Can u show me the argument u are referring to?

Was mummy AY washing your clothes for free? Does Lagos not have access to ATMs?

Has Nigerian Polithiefians Not turned Naija to a Business Hub themselves

They just get in political positions to be on Looting Spree
SalisuJasper:
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.

Whois:
I had the same experience in Agwu, enugu camp. We pay to charge our phone, we buy water to bath and pos charges is 100 naira for every 1k. I noticed the only cheap commodity in mammy market is food, a plate of cooked food was sold for 300 naira
I served in Agwu too.
That camp is one of the worst in Nigeria.
Their pit latrine was even full we had to do shotput always.
No water.. No electricity
But in my block, one elect elect Otondo connect electricity from the wire in the roof so our room always had electricity others even come to charge sef.

Lol those pos guys really made money..

Enugu has water issues and the camp own was the worst sometimes we go to girls hostel to fetch..

what I love about enugu camp is that the parade ground is outside and very easy to skip morning and evening drills grin

Food is now sold for 500 naira. I'm currently in camp Awgu Enugu state. Things are just going bad. More often than not there is no water. We have to wait till they supply water to all the tanks in camp. That's understandable because of how hilly it is

Secondly the maami people are now exploiting people through POS, goods and services. Should I say they necessarily make the food from the dining so bad so we could patronize the food vendors? Yes that's correct.

When the NYSC was founded in 1973, it was promote unity and social integration after civil war. But it has failed. NYSC has now turned into enslave labour and abuse of human rights. It should be made voluntary and not mandatory even if it is not scrapped entirely.

So if Mummy AY washes your clothes for 500, why the hype? By d way, what does "bulk" entail?

The gateway stadium is in sagamu. So u guys have to go to d stadium for lectures. that's lovely. do u guys populate the entire stadium? Is there a hall within the camp ground?

Can u show me the argument u are referring to?

That's nice. But if your definition of bulk is as above, then that means we missed something in what u said earlier:
