p1jiobi:
I regret voting for buhari.

if at all you voted for him.

Even if you hate buhari you can't help but admire this write up. Kai my vote no waste. Sai baba!

oops!!! There is just one lesson this piece teaches!! and thats do not Judge others just becos they sin differently than you.

I just luv de first pic. Chai. The face no smile at all. A face of a no nonsense head of state. But these days as a civillian you must smile even if you dont want to you must smile for the cameras

Who told these guys buhari will even contest 2019? From all indication its a single term pact..

megawax8:
Illiterates torturing graduates for been perhaps better than them academically

That's lesson number one. "Humility"

HAH:
Go and keep praying that Buhari does not reverse all appointment, promotion and contract awarded after March 28th

that's my fear. coz its obvious the present administration deliberately did this to cos problems for the incoming.... let's watch and see

This is only a one sided story... the writer has written this piece under the umbrella of being the victims frnd. so maybe just maybe sentiments may be be playing a big role here.... feel sorry for ur frnd though...

A situation where NIGERIA now borrows money to pay salaries. is this Baba's fault or GEJ's fault pls I need answers coz the level of myopic sentiments am seeing here is scary.....

New invention. I think mothers can learn from this. Pikin think say im get sense. Then show matured sense. But this can only work after the baby has already slept o. Becos if the pikin open eye discover say u wan tie am for pillow e no go gree o

intergral:
My girlfriend did not show me any green light... She came to me and asked me for my phone and she wasn't smiling when she did it... She only told me that she want to discus something with and then boom it happened...... Till today I still respect her for that!

lol. I luv de No "smiling part"

naijaboiy:
[color=#1980BC]But why are the girls avoiding this thread na?

Abi you guys don't want to share your green light secret with us?

Later it's you people that will still complain o. [/color]

hahahahahaha :-D:-D:-D these boys wan kill me with laugh o.

jmoore:
Remember to give her pension if she breaks up with you.

hahaha. PUNCHLINE!

teelord1:
Bros please remove number 1, Batch c is yet to receive 1naira so don't put mind in state allowance. No state allowance here

hahaha i remember were told the same thing to wen we started but the rule is they start paying after 3 months. They have always been paying and on time too. Ur case is different. You came at the wrong time which is election period and am sure you know wat happens during elections in nigeria. All money are channelled into campaigns etc. So i guess the state govt didn't have time for you guys. But lets see what the incoming administration would do first.

dynamicbuzz:
Na wa for Naija o, why will they be robbing trains and I was partially considering it

dont just accept anything you here. Na where them no the rob. I served in Niger and many of my fellow corp members used trains on many occasions especially those from ibadan

paulbets:
Wow, you really took the time to explain the reasons. Thanks a bunch, I guess am gonna reconsider. Niger ain't that bad after all. Thanks once again

you welcom

FOR PROSPECTIVE BATCH A CORPERS POSTED TO NIGER STATE.

I pray this post gets published on the front page coz it will benefit those concerned.

I assume you already know the required documents you may need in camp.

Three most important things:
1. Posting letter and Offcourse green card. Infact any documents concerned with Nysc. Afterall Na paper so its not heavy.

2. You student I.D card.

3. Statement of Result. Its called another name in polytechnics but I can't remember but I assume u know wat I mean.

4. And Enough Passports. If u can make sure its taken on red background with a with polo t-shirt. (15 copies will be enough) u won't use all but to avoid stories that touch.

Note: Make sure u make photocopies of these also. Its not mandatory but important so that u DONT start running round in camp looking for where to make photocopies. ( at least 10 copies each)

You can take ur jamb too. Just incase.

××××××××××××××××××××××

TRANSPORT:
transportation cost will vary according to distance and place. But one thing is for certain. If you are confused about directions and if you cannot find a direct bus to Min a then The easiest and safest way is this: First make the journey to Abuja. From abuja u will most of the times get a direct vehicle to Suleja.

(or from abuja board a vehicle to zuba and from zuba u can board to Suleja)


From Suleja will then board another vehicle to minna. DONT forget to tell the driver you will stop at nysc camp, paiko. Everybody knows it. Its just by the road side.
×××××××××××××

PLS NOTE: Your destination is not Minna. But the Nysc Camp is located in a local govt called Paikoro. And a town called Paiko. The only reason why you are entering a vehicle meant for minna is becos paiko is just before minna so to get to minna you must first pass through paiko.

sometimes you could even see vehicle going to paiko directly. Just DONT forget to mention nysc camp, paiko. Infact I can assure u on that day almost all vehicle will be going to paiko coz these drivers know nysc camp is opening and they will be expecting an influx of potential corp members going to paiko. So be happy. Na dem go even find you. Price range (700 - 800) but with high demand I can't say.


Note again: They language spoken would generally be Hausa but you will cope fine.

××××××××××××××××××××××


CAMP:

Camp is fun. But Note: there is a tradition in PAIKO CAMP. and it is Right from your entry into the gate intimidation begins. You will be forced to carry ur bags on your head and run around like a refugee ,no matter the size or contents. I felt sorry for those with mighty echolac boxes. They were just crying like children. But for us with little small shuttle or laptops bags we easily did it.



Note: Pls and pls there's no need carry all your property from home. Except you have plans not to travel back home after the tree weeks orientation.


This warning is especially meant for girls. Make sure you carry only wat you will need.


NOTE: throughout ur stay in camp you will only be wearing white on white except on Sundays and its only for about 6hrs. morning till 2pm. So DONT waste ur time carrying all the designers cloths in the world. You no go fit use them. So my advice if you must carry then just know you have only 3 times to wear them.


But some pple maybe be planning to skip travelling home after Camp.. For those pple I say you can carry all u need but pls Abeg make sure you do training for house in the act of carrying ur bag on the head and running with it. Becos you will surely be asked to do that. Its fun sha.


The rest is registration. You will surely know what to do just follow ur fellow corpers and ask question. Do everything everybody is doing just like school days.


REASONS TO SERVE IN NIGER:

They are a million and one reasons.

1. State pays monthly allowance. 6k per month. Yes
not so big but better than more than 20 different states.


2. Peace


3. Respect. You will be valued. Like me and my fellow
corpers used to say. " Anything wei you talk correct!"


4. Cheap life style especially in places outside the
capital


5. Easy to get PPA


6. You will surely meet brothers and sisters from ur
homeland who are currently serving there. So need to
be scared.


7. Good for learning and experience. You will discover
that The north is not hausa as most of us think. Niger
state is dominated by NUPE and Gwari tribe. Who
equally divided between the two religions moslem and
xtian. DONT forget in the just concluded elections a xtian candidate david umaru defeated the incumbent state gov, adamu muazu who is a moslem, in the senatorial elections in a moslem dominated area. Coincidentally thats also the zone where is served. So I can confirm dat. The pple have respect for religion. I served in rural area Gurara local govt. But I can assure u. Every church and denominations is found dere. From catholic to white garment, redeemed, deeper life. Etc.


8. Minna the capital is just like any urban area in
nigeria. Anything you want you get. I mean in terms of
flexing.


9. Personally i didn't serve in minna. I served in one of
the other local govts. At first i was sad. But later when
i got reports from other corpers who got posted to
minna and the difficulties faced in terms of transport
cost, accomodation, feeding, even getting PPAs to accept u.

I praised God for my luck.


8. Made lot of friends from East, west, north and south.


Am sure 3 weeks in camp will enlighten you more.

prissyluv:
so i should try and be posted in the capital shey?

well they all ve their advantages and disadvantages. In the state capital if you aren't lucky you may find it hard to get a place of primary assignment to serve. Becos rejections of corpers is common. But if rural areas you will be treated like a king but flexing will be hard. But basic amenities will be easy. So depends on you. State capital would be better in you really interest in acquiring professional certs

prissyluv:
Thanks. Another question is,is benue a place where one can acquire some basic skills or professional certs. Thanks.

why not. Its just like any other state capital or city. Yes it may not be as developed in terms of structures and buildings but surely not lagging behind in terms of education and intellect. So whatever you are looking for you will surely get it. But i think only in the state capital makurdi

nastyd:
Water Scarcity??!!!

dis is coming from a friend dat servd
dere 2yrs bak

i wont lie to you. Its a common problem. But we are surviving so you will survived. Other corpers before you have also survived.

prissyluv:
Someone pls help me on how to get to benue camp from Onitsha or Enugu. Pls.

am sure. these transport companies ply those areas.

1. Pleasure travels,

2. New nyanya

3. benue links and many many more. So get to makurdi first. You will most likely be dropped at wurukum roundabout the most popular and busy area in makurdi. From there its easy to get another vehicle to wannune the camp venue.

An2elect2:

seeing some of these posts just made me sick sick and sick.

lol. Why naw?

prissyluv:
What could be my crime? Why benue?
Just yesterday in Vanguard newspaper,some fulani guys killed some people...

I will redeploy oooooo.

Btw,is there anyone coming from onitsha?

hahaha. Dont believe everything the media tells you. Its not that bad. Its just like boko haram. Despite the threat pple still leave in borno, yobe and adamawa. Infact corpers still serve there successfully. Most of all the fulani killings happens in the rural areas. Not in the state capital. Infact we here in benue dont even know much about it we only see it on national newspapers

Philipvivson:
oh my God!!! from kebbi how do I get to Benue Whr will I even start from hmm

hahaha. Dont worry am sure benue links ply makurdi to kebbi and vice versa. So pls visit their park to book ur ticket. Once you get to mkd you can them board another vehicle wannune the camp venue

Josephinae:
pls o sombori should help, how do I get there from Benin

you have to first of all get to makurdi the state capital. Them from makurdi you can board another vehicle to wannune the camp venue

emitdj:
Diz state i§ just undevelop for my likeness, even d so called makurdi naë wash! Rumour has it dat dea are carnibals among dem not to even talk about d Fulani hatred for corpers. God pls just help me to cope in camp. Redeployment on my mind soonest with no delay.

this post is bad. Admin do something o. Have lived in benue all my life. So dont post nonsense here. Maybe benue is not as developed as lagos or port but makurdi to be exact qualifies to be called an urban area. Everything you need you can get. Did i hear u say cannibals? Haba which lie be dat? Hahaha funny one. That was how the said all northerners are moslems until i was posted to serve in Niger state them i learn't the truth.

prissyluv:
Why are you peeps not responding to my questions? Nawa oooo

lol. Whats ur question?

Welcom to benue you all.

The truth is. Benue is nice place. If you are posted to a rural area them lucky you cos you will be treated with respect. But if you are posted to makurdi then you are still lucky. But sometimes corpers posted to makurdi find it difficult in securing PPAs. But other than that its a nice place to be
