jnrremedy: Can we pls continue with d state analysis. Its very informative
am seriously confused where to influence my posting to.

And perhaps you'd like to read something about Kaduna, also from 12B;...

mykejones: Lolzz..alrite,am based in Kaduna, and I graduated frm ABU zaria,so i'l cal myself a Northerner.
Kaduna was quite peaceful,I'd once argued it was the most peaceful Northern state..wel,until recently.
In case u r posted here,it's no biggie.
Oppurtunity abounds in kaduna..lots of Industries and parastatals. Kaduna city is the most developed. There's also Zaria, where i schooled. Safe for the school,zaria could be ranked as underdeveloped. And except in the case where u find urself inside the school community,the town itself can't be classified as 70percent safe when there's trouble.
Kafachan is also another gud town,predominatly populated by the Christain faith.
Jaji is another town. A military cantoment. And apart frm the "military zone",Jaji can be classified as a 'hot zone'.
In summary,Kaduna is largely divided in2 Muslim populated North, Christian dominated South.
If u fall in2 the nortern part,pls,include 'veil' as one of ur requirements.
I heard the state government,on the pop ground give 30k as TP to its outgoin corpers. Of cors,which eva cooperations u find urself,they'l also pay..even handsomely as the case my be.
Electricity- Fairly good. There are places where u can get 24/7..other places are been rationed.
Accomodation..depending on the range and ur tastes.
Security-I'v said much on that.
NB: There's a working refinary in kd..close 2my house. They accept corpers too and d pay is jaw opening and mouth watering.
Goodluck.

IK has said something about Akwa Ibom earlier, these is from one of the Batch B threads;...Quite lengthy!

fashrola: Well prospective batch "B" corper willing to serve in Akwa Ibom state, I want to brief you a little about the place, Though I'm from Akwa Ibom and I school @ Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron, I've also been mobilized for the NYSC programme too, Akwa Ibom state (Uyo as a case) Uyo is a very nice place to be, especially the new infrastructure put to place by the State Governor which includes: Good and beautiful roads, Cinema, At least manageable power supply, good road network system (no hold-up), Cheap accommodation and Transportation, Uyo is a very peaceful place and it is not as big as Lagos, therefore it is a really organized-city, Where the problem lies is which LGA you will be posted to in Akwa Ibom state, well I'll tell you the best LGA to serve with most good social amenities includes: Uyo, Eket (oil-rich town), Ikot Ekpene, Abak, Oron, Ibiono, Itu...though other LGA are good but I'm just telling you the best LGA in Akwa Ibom state and their proximity to the state Capital. Don't mind my grammer sha, I'm typing with a phone...

fashrola: *Continuation* for those that will be posted to Oron ( This is the LGA where Maritime Academy of Nigeria is located) some of you may wonder "I've never heard about this institution b4" Hmm well its a professional institution just for the training of seafarers, which include Captains, Marine engineers and their courses is specifically tailored for the Maritime industry in Nigeria, for more info abt the school, just google it, Ok back to the point..... If you are really lucky to be posted to Oron LGA in Akwa Ibom state and also fortunate to be posted to Maritime Academy of Nigeria as a corper just thank your stars....because you'll enjoy a lot of benefits during your stay in as a corper at Maritime Academy of Nigeria. Corpers are paid N15k there, You'll be provided with a lodge, and the school runs a 24/7 power supply, Your security is assured, cos the Institution is a regimented school, powered by the Nigerian Navy... While I was a cadet there, I'm always jealous of corpers serving in my skool cos I just wanted to be like them (posted somewhere similar to my skool) but sha I know God will make a way for me too...That's all folks...pls I will like other corpers in the house to throw more info about their state, conditions and benefits too, at least we'll be enlighten before we are posted to our various places...Thank you
PS: Don't mind my english...just no time to make some corrections

In case I stumble upon some other state's analysis, I'll post it here...

darefestus:
Victory ke? Dem beat them! The only thing platoon twelve has is babes. Their men are just pure bottlers.

Chai!...Dem fall OGBE hand shaa!...How far with platoon 11 nah, una no play ni??...DRE abeg, I used to think of only 10 platoons, how come you guys have 11 & 12??...Are you guys that many in your state??

ambrosini593: . Just enter any vehicle going to delta state. Then tell the driver to stop at kaiama along the highway. You don't ve to go to yenagoa first. Pls try nd find your way so that you will be posted to yenagoa after the orientation

Okay bro, thanks so much...

darefestus: Katsina camp has been so much fun, we've really been having maximum fun. Oga mi Contra and Loskee are wonderful ppl, meeting them has been one of the high points of my stay here in Katsina. The Ogbeche coached platoon 12 lost in the football game today,so its not the perfect Birthday but I'm wishing him many happy returns of today.
The fun moment of camp for me so far was the day we went for the interview, where people were faking
being asthmatic,epileptic, some girl even claimed health disease, all in the name of leaving KT.

Awwwch!...So OGBECHE boys lost...#sad#...Better luck next time sha...I can see you guys are really enjoying, have fun jor...#ThumbsUp#

ogbeche77: @ Godschild, thanks for the birthday message.. And yes .. Today is my birthday. **** shines teeth***

...You're welcome bro. Happy Birthday!...How far with your Platoon 12 FC nah??...Shey dem don give you the victory gift??...I for like watch that match oo....Lol!...Make us proud bro!

Akieagle: It is reallly fun out here in port harcourt,can't wait to see you guys on d 28th in bayelsa.

Yep, can't wait to see you too...#TeamBayelsa...<<<<Loading>>>>....14 days to go...May it meet us well IJN!...Amen

Mz nAirA:

Am nt enjoying d camp oh!!! Its too stressful. Am in platoon 3.... D best platoon in iseyin camp

Ehhyaah!...Sorry ehn, its almost over...Just 2 weeks left, I pray you get a good PPA!

sleekcm: I was a batch A, 2008/2009 NYSC member in Bayelsa. A few heads up 4 u guys: 1. If you want to be posted to Yenagoa after camp, you must be at least part of the following- a. State NYSC football team. B. Volleyball team (for the ladies). C. Drama group. D. OBS team member. E. HIV advocacy group member etc. 2. Yenagoa corpers are the poorest bunch as cost of living is high in the capital. 3. There aren't any Oil companies for u to serve in. Just 4get that thought now. 4. Prepare ur mind to teach full time. 5. Get urself a treated mosquito net cos of their smart mosquitoes and sunflies. 6. Be ready to serve across the water. Every1 can't be in Yenagoa. 7. Bayelsa ladies/girls worship corpers. They are also free with the gifts so careful u don't get any pregnant! Be smart! 8. The best place to serve in my opinion is across the water. You get to appreciate the importance of the service and learn a different culture. The ppl will love and respect you. That's a nice feeling/experience to live with when it's all over.

For the guys, be warned! The girls are sexually aware and will do anything to sleep with u! Even ur very own students! Sex is like water in Bayelsa! It's welcome. Happy Service Year!

sleekcm: I forgot to add - most of the communities across water have very fine Corpers' Lodges. Where they aren't available, the communities usually provide decent accommodation. The corper's lodge in Anyama-Ogbia, Ogbia LGA, some 40minutes or so by speedboat from Swali waterside, Yenagoa is top class. Other neighbouring communities like Anyakoro, Otuedu, Onuegbu, etc also have decent lodges. I still miss those places. And would surely visit them sometime in the future. One of the nicest moments/experiences of my life. You guys go serve and enjoy it.

Wow!...Thank you so much for the info, so encouraging & uplifting...#TeamBayelsa!...Can't wait!

Me I be pastor ooo...Make dem Baye babes no near me at all oo...Holyghost fire na im go help me pursue them comot...Lolzzz

Serving in Lagos: Merits and Demerits


Demerits
1. Accomodation Problems: I have heared too many Lag corpers complaining bitterly about these, some even say if you do not have relatives to squat with, or enough cash to get urself an accomodation, ur experience may not be good o.

2. Not everyone will be paid a state allowance: I read a tread sometimes back where it was confirmed that of all the corpers serving in Lag( batch b 2012 or also) only 600 copers or also were paid state alawi(first to register), while the rest were left to survive on federal alawi.

3.High rate of transportation fare: If you live in lag, you will agree with me alone.

4. Traffic jam plus stress: This is normal in lag. If you can't withstand stress, it's no go area, i beg.
5. Saving may be a mirage: Feeding and transportation fares may consume all your alawi, and before you know what is going on you have little or none to save.


Merits
1. Fast access to information: without gain saying Lag is an excellent place to obtain first hand info bordering on jobadverts, professional course trainings and many more. besides, you will be able to attend job interview easily while you are serving without travelling a long distance.


2. If you are the type that love hustling, Lag is the best place to be


3. Security: At least no fear of Boko boys

4. Weather: It is relatively okay.


These are some of my findings, Please add more.

...Good findings!...My thoughts as well...

Enockia: Er u servin in bayelsa?@ God's ghild

Yeah, not yet though...Our camp opens Nov. 28...

ik121: Abeg mek una no go dey influence go benue o!
The only caveat according 2 my guy is dat d state is veri backward, even in d state capital u get 2 c mud houses, no doubt my guy is living in a mud house for N1,200 a year rent

If nt dat i dnt lyk dulling tinz i'd workin my postin 2 benue state

Lmao!...I also heard they have the highest rate of HIV peeps...One has to be very careful there.

...Good evening House!...I'm forever loyal!

Akieagle: Bayelsa pays just 5k to 6k if you are on water and 4 to 5k if you are on land...just pray the weather should favour us...i'm still chiling in port harcort rite nw,c u guys soon

Bros, please do you know how I can get to kaiama camp from P.Harcourt??...And like how much is the fare??...Thanks!

Chikebrain: Miss chizzyeric thanks jhor. I've resorted in taking paino lessons to keep myself busy since I quit my job. @ Ayo, I'm still coming in through yenogoa. Although my friend says from the state capital to the camp is about 45mins or thereabout. As for the pay; I thought they said Bayelsa pays good or has the good payment long ended. Hoping to get acquinted with you(chizzyeric) and Ayo

I think the good payment days were the good old days oo...Before the new policy was brought up & implemented...My brother we go survive oo...

chizzyeric: Future otondos hw una dey? Chike calm dwn na u go upload taya, my own is dat d pay is too too small ooooooo or else d 4k is daily! .....lol so wats d essence of been an oil state? Anyway let's get der first....we'l survive. Like I'm stl d only feminine gender in d hous for nw

Lol!...Apart from the small pay, I heard the cost of living is somehow high too...But of course, we'll survive by GOD's grace!...Lolzzz
