We need to walk against bad government first. This government is a disaster.

How many people does autism kill in a year? Fulani herdsmen kill hundreds every month and render most families poor as they chase them away and graze on their farmlands.

Your thinking is not straight at all and ignorance is written all over your post. How can you ask "how many people does autism kill in a year?" Do you know what family that have these children go through or what the children with autism go through at all?

Instead of carrying your hate to infest and derail this thread, open a new thread and spew your hate there.
It wouldn't be bad of you to lead the "Walk against the government" and I'm sure if they call for one sef, you wouldn't turn up either.

Your headline is rather misleading, how can you call an "Awareness Walk" a "Walk Against Autism". Are they planning to protest against Autism or create more Awareness about the disorder?

Good evening Op, lovely Job here I must say and a highly commendable personal project that you executed.

I'm a Batch B '16 corp member presently serving at Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State. I really want to do a personal project, but I currently do not have an idea on what to do.

uzomanny:
I had to follow access bank on twitter to lay my complaint and could you believe I am yet to get any response from them up till date?...Our hands are tied here if you ask me,the F.G and NYSC have a hand in this in collaboration with access bank cos they wont pretend like they know nothing about these deductions...Our small allawee don turn national cake too

Lol as in ehn, but funny enough I got a reversal alert on the "Salary Administration Fee" today, I don't know if it's the post that caused it or something else or they noticed it was a "mistake"

uzomanny:
I dont know why most of us(batch B corpers) that are affected aren't complaining,or is it because it a meagre amount,please multiply it by the thousands of corpers currently serving and you'll be amazed at the figure you'll arrive....NYSC should look into this cos #19800 isnt enough to cater for our needs,so why the deductions?

Exactly!!! I'm baffled too and I guess probably because they didn't send alert showing the deduction that's why most people aren't complaining and they aren't aware.
They debited N210 from one's account within a space of two days and this trend might continue every month if we do not complain.

Imagine, today I heard they deducted N2,000 from Batch B Stream II, 2017 corp members account. For what

dayjeee:
They even debited me twice for visa card issuance fee. Access bank is so crooked and fraudulent

Wow! Sorry about that.

Thank God, finally there's a fellow corp member speaking out. This deal that the NYSC management decided to have with Access Bank is really affecting us.

Access Bank PLC has started deducting additional fraudulent charges from corp members accounts asides from the normal "Admin Fee" they deduct monthly, yesterday they also added a new fraudulent fee called "Salary Admin Fee" which Corpers were charged N105.
The funny thing about it is that they didn't send alert for deduction of the said fee(s), both "Admin Fee' and "Salary Admin Fee", it was while checking my last transactions with the Access Bank App that I noticed this FRAUDULENT deduction.
Why would they deduct N105 from Corp Members account who are constantly trying to survive with the little stipend they are given monthly.
If they want to justify this deduction why didn't they send alert, why weren't they deducting this fee before? Is the same obtainable with Corp Members using other Bank Accounts for their Monthly Allawee? The answer is no, only Access Bank come up with these fraudulent charges on Corp Members Account.

And it isn't their fault, it is the Federal Government and NYSC Management's fault that forced Corp Members to open an account with them for our monthly allawee that caused it.

Corp Members(most especially Batch B) can confirm this by logging into their Access Mobile Banking App to see the fraudulent deduction, by clicking on the " Solo Account" balance displayed when they login into their account.

Access Bank must refund our money and also explain to us why they had to deduct such amount and why they didn't send alert to us after debiting us.

Corp Members let's share this across all social media platforms until it reaches the right authorities.

Dotun,
Batch B(Stream I) Corp Member,

Kebbi State.

The location of your ppa and where you rent is the major determinant of whether you will be privileged to get a land or not

Karu local government is overly occupied to have excess land and that's where I'm residing..

Anytime you feel you want to start we will probably meet with the Chief of your vicinity to check for any if you're serious though

WELCOME TO NASARAWA STATE

Wishing you da very best of your service year

Off topic abeg

I'm seriously interested in going into farming, most especially Animal Husbandry in the North, but I've been thinking of how I'll get a land, how would I go about getting a free land . I was posted to Kebbi State, Birnin Kebbi, there doesn't seem to be any "farmable" land closeby

spenca:
If your a corp member that just concluded the orientation camping and wants to serve in Ibadan even if you were not posted to Oyo state and you have not been redeployed. PM I have a good posting for you. You have to be ready to start work immediately and you have to have studied mass communication or related courses.

Offer ends by the close of work tomorrow

A Picture showing what the "Desert like area looks like, the stream and the wooden bridge"

About 20 mins later while passing through the bumpy road to Kebbi State, a lorry diverted from it's lane, probably trying to avoid the potholes, or so I thought, until it started moving towards us. The driver of the lorry turned off his engine right at the front of our bus, we were trying to figure out what happened, when our driver also turned off his.

I started having bad thoughts in my mind, "did he come to deliver us? why did he and this lorry switch of their engine in the middle of nowhere?" This were the thoughts running through my mind and I'm sure others were thinking the same, until someone chipped in and told us that the guys in the other lorry wants our driver to leave the lane for him and if he wasn't willing to, they wouldn't move away from our front either or turn on their engine. Next thing you know, our driver came down from the bus, went to ease himself at the back of his bus and stayed there even after, obviously not ready to leave his lane for them, he stayed at the back. We asked the guys sitting with the driver at the front, most importantly Moses who could speak Hausa, to try tp beg our driver to leave for them, so we could continue with our journey.

This was the 1st time our driver would get angry, even when the "bad government crew" were using his car charger throughout the journey and he wanted to charge, he begged them to let him use "his" car charger.

Our driver at first didn't bulge after Moses had gone to beg him, after 10 mins and it didn't seem like the "lorry guys" were in a hurry to continue their journey, our driver came back, turned on the engine and we continued. The "lorry guys" said some things in Hausa, which I think would have meant "you for no leave, we for show you today" and had a laugh before turning on their engine to leave. They looked relatively young and way younger than our driver, this pissed me off a little "no respect for the old", I said in my mind.

And the Niger Stare journey continues...

We had now gotten to a town where the road was a little bit better, but later diverted of the road where we saw a sign board that had something about "Mungo Park" written on it. The road although not tarred was still smooth to an extent, before we got back into the main road.

The green Sienna was now at our front on getting back to the main road and our driver had attempted to overtake the driver of the Sienna at full speed, instead of giving our driver a chance to overtake him, he instead moved in front of our driver, who almost hit vehicle, but was able to apply his brake smoothly. This continued till we got to a checkpoint where soldiers were stationed, the Sienna driver was getting checked by the soldiers, instead of waiting his turn at the back of the vehicle, our driver instead took to the right of the Sienna and gave him a stern warning in Hausa in front of the Soldiers and we also added our voice to it, I could remember I said "Na rubbish you dey drive o!" . The soldiers on hearing this remanded the Sienna for a while, while we continued with our journey.

Twenty to thirty minutes later we had now diverted off the main road again, but this time into what seemed like a desert, all we saw were trees, sandy soil, little sign of human existence and no network coverage either. And where we saw human settlement, it looked like a little village, their houses made out of muds, cattles and little children with joy written all over their faces waving to tell us goodbye. We were all psyched and waved back to them, while we continued our journey into the desert, this was around 6pm by the way.

We were beginning to get used to just seeing sand and trees, till we got to a stream that had a wooden bridge, the bridge had a relatively short height, with no rails. We were a little bit scared as our driver moved to cross over it, but we soon got over it, Michael even suggested that I take a video recording of it. As the journey progressed in the desert, we kept passing through such wooden bridges, at a time we had to pay to cross a particular bridge that indigenes had built.

We spent over an hours just inside the desert in Niger State, before we finally came to back to the main road again. We had spent close to 4 hours in just Niger State now and it didn't look like we'd be through anytime soon.

Around 8pm, when there was a little network, my mother called to ask where I was, which she has been doing from time to time. When I told her we were still in Niger State, her reply was "ah, did your bus get spoilt on the road?", I told her " no, it is very big". At the time, I had found out that Niger State has the biggest landmass in Nigeria.

The dust on the roads were so much, coupled with the ones on we had been bombarded with while on the desert, I literally started tasting sand in my mouth, like I was eating it. All our clothes and luggage were now really dirty like we were little children playing in sand. Everyone in the bus looked like they had dyed their hair orange, our hair was paying homage to "Olamide's" new tinted hairstyle craze. Debby and the guy sitting close to her hair were the worst, there was no sign of black in their hair at all, we all laughed it off and continued to enjoy the journey.

Over 5 hours and we were still in Niger State, around 10:00pm we stopped at a filling station to refill our gas, which our driver had been doing throughout our journey at any given chance, he wasn't willing to take any chance, I soon discovered this was a norm with Hausa drivers embarking on such journey.

We stretched our legs and got something to eat, while our driver went to pray. There was suya and one other weird meat that I bought, I think it was camel's meat, because it was so strong, I couldn't chew any of the N200 worth of meat. It was like attempting to eat rubber slippers, I couldn't deal mehn! i just got water and went back inside the bus, while the other guys tried to inquire from some people around where we were, they didn't understand what the guys were trying to ask them at all. They kept replying in Hausa, until Moses who had studied in Kastina, was successfully able to relate with them in Hausa and they told him "Niger", but that it shouldn't take long before we got to Kebbi.

Our little break didn't take more than 30 mins, as we were already back on the road.

Nasarawa State? Camp went well, and the few days I stayed in the state to sort clearance, accommodation etc, I heard Koffa! Koffa!! Koffa!!! one million times ..

The innocent kids wants to touch you or help carry your bags..
The young ladies can't stop admiring you, greeting you as many times as possible..
The men kept staring at the wrong places ..

Yes, I am a Batch B '16 Koffa .. Don't I sound like one?

Yes, I have a diary, and I wrote about my camping period..

Link? It's attached to my siggy or better still, let me save you the stress: https://www.nairaland.com/2235758/s.h.u.g.a/4

And no, I didn't redeploy ..

Lmao @ the men can't stop staring at the wrong places.

One thing I love about the North so far is their appreciation for corp members, even those that are from the south and leave over there, do the same unlike Lagos, where no one gives a hoot!

No, you didn't sound like one earlier.

Following your Diary already, it's quite interesting, you're a very good writer.

Hehe cool, I didn't redeploy too, although when people ask me "sheybi you redeployed na? or you'll redeploy abi?", I just simply tell them it didn't work out even though I didn't even think about picking the form
