Thanks I got it.

Well, I'm a 2015 Batch A corps member serving in Dutse, Jigawa state.

Jigawa state has the best orientation camp for corpers. It's actually a sports center that's why it has two neat volley ball courts, a very wide parade ground, comfortable hostels(Block A to N) for female, same for males. Females aren't allowed into the male hostels and vice versa. The soldiers are disciplined, no violence occurred during my time in camp, not eve a finger or belt was raised against a corp member. You only have to respect and follow the rules. No threats from the soldiers also as we were approached and treated like the human beings that we were. And no disrespect of female soldiers or your funeral will take place in camp as those women no dey smile at all.

The mini market is lovely as assorted breakfast are prepared(for those that don't like the kitchen menu) before you leave the parade ground at 7:30 AM.
There is a running tap in all bathrooms in every single block in the hostels, so no complaints about water scarcity. Toilets, water heaters, water cisterns also, sinks and tiled bathroom grounds(only messed up by corpers). Every facility works in Jigawa camp. The hostels are well ventilated, tiled grounds and walls, fancy ceiling with working fans and bulbs(na small thing remain make them even fix chandelier give corpers sef). Light out is at 10 PM. Don't joke with curfew or you are on your own. Please, if you are a spoilt rich brat, please, keep the attitude at home cos when you're in camp, no one will tell you to behave yourself. Oh, the big mosque for the muslims is to die for(very wide, spacious and beautiful actually. No church for the christians). The grasses and fields are neatly trimmed(the camp looks like a GRA actually, it's called Yakubu Gowon Sports Centre for a reason, duuuhhh). Walking distance from the Goodluck Jonathan Multi-purpose hall, parade ground(closer to the boys hostel), kitchen, pavillion, volleyball courts, Man-O-War ground, medical centre, OBS studio etc, is like mountain hiking, so prepare to slim down during your stay in camp.

Fanisau camp is spacious so corpers hardly ever have a good place to hide(except inside your travelling bag, LOL). Come with your waste pouch, sold in camp too, but please come with your(my cash was stolen on the first day by humans I thought came to serve their fatherland like me), some people come to camp to steal, be very careful with your items. Phones get missing almost on daily basis, so you may want to keep your ipad air at home, its just for approximately a month, besides ONLY ETISALAT NETWORK is okay for browsing at Fanisau, the rest, lol, just switch off your phones as texts and calls hardly makes it to your phone screen, how much more browsing with GSM(not even EDGE, 3G, or LTE). MTN and GLO are worst actually, Airtel is still manageable shaa.

When I got to the medical centre a day after camp resumption, there were already up to 800 medical reports, by the following day, it was 1500. This made the medical team nonchalant about corpers plight. It was just too much nobody was paying attention to them at all. Everyone wanted to leave Jigawa, lol, I just carried my medical report jeje, straight to the hostel and inside my clear bag.

Oh, keep your prefumes at home or leave it inside your bag, or big-headed mango flies with green head will become your pally for the duration of the smell on your clothes or body. Come with vaseline and a duvet if possible, the weather isn't funny. Be prepared to drink water like fishes in the sea or suffer from dehydration(nobody will actually remind you to drink water in camp, na you go dey find the water sef). Don't panick of you don't see chilled water in camp, it's rare commodity actually, you will forcefully make do with the heated sachet water that was unsuccessfully protected from the sun and heat, so warm(rather hot)water will be yours to ask for.

The wise ones will hustle from day one to join the OBS team, while other floor members become the main corp members(I mean, someone has to go for the morning, afternoon and evening drills, right). The ORIENTATION BROADCASTING SERVICE is a perfect place for ajebutters with brains(male or female, who want to spoil their skin in the name of orientation camping?). Anyways, the OBS team are the VIP corpers in camp, lol. They are treated like holy beings and regarded with respect, others envy and hate them because of the perks that comes with joining the OBS. You don't stand in line to get food, flash your "on duty" pass at the kitchen co-ordinators and get your food while others wait in line. The parade ground is not our thing cos we are supposedly "working hard" in the camp studio. We get respect from the soldiers who treat us like one of theirs and get away with things floor members will normally get a punishment for. You get to avoid kitchen duty, parade ground, environmental sanitation, mass punishment for dirty blocks/hostels, relaxation in the studio while others are forced to listen to staffs go on and on and on about how the NYSC scheme is the best program to happen to mankind. On swearing in day and passing out parade, the OBS team stays under the shed in the pavillion while floor members sweat it out standing in the sun. I only paraded twice(the first two days) through out the 21 day exercise. How people stayed under the sun during public address and other call for gathering is what I can't really imagine. It is too damn hot in Jigawa state. Girls that love heavy weave-on, attachments on their heads, you are all on your own o. Make-up isn't allowed in camp, at all at all, as long as you are wearing white and white, forget it. The army people no gree for that one. Common powder sef, na drills for you o.

No booze in camp! FORBIDDEN. They don't want stories that touch after a group of Hot adolescents gets drunk. Glad about that too.

Make sure you hold money abeg as drinking water is bought and sold only in the market, not negotiable. The state is hot, you have been warned. Come with mosquito nets if you like but Jigawa camp is always fumigated, therefore no mosquito bites or mosquito scare in camp, don't go and complain of malaria while you're in camp just to avoid the parade ground, abeg them go ask you whether you don hear or kill a single mosquito inside the camp.

All in all, the camp is fun, for those that give a sh1t about the orientation camp and the NYSC scheme. Go and enjoy yourself(that's what anyone would tell you, right?).


Whoever gets to Kano is almost in camp (less than two hours).From Sabon gari(New road in Kano, this is the terminal for almost every coach and bus coming from the S/East, S/West and S/South, you can't get lost at all), take a keke (#150) to KANO LINE, then take a cab(#600) to Dutse. Tell the driver you are heading to NYSC camp!!! Make sure he understands where you are going! NYSC camp, DUTSE!!! It is by the road, you won't get to the cab's park in dutse. If you miss it. And find yourself in Dutse town(cos either you are sleeping or the driver forgot himself) just take a bike (#100 or #150) to orientation camp, 15 minutes from Dutse town.

Happy camping, Hehehehe...

AJUWAYA!!!
