rationalmind: I've been cool bro. Was posted to a very remote village in Etsako west. From the zonal office in Auchi to my PPA costs a bike fee of 400 naira to and fro.

I was however amazed and bewildered by the warm reception I received from the villagers. Memories of how I was waved at with shouts of "Corper" while on bike keeps lingering in my heart.

Despite my initial dissapointment when I got my posting letter, it's a place I would have really loved to stay. Unfortunately, I've got to return to Lag. Can't afford to waste one year teaching Physics and Mathematics.

haha.... when shall we see again

omaimoje: uromi is nt rili a "village -village" sha, u'll enjoy it, we call it "aba of Edos state" dere dey make anyfin u can think of, even stout.. very close to ekpoma, whr d state uni (AAU)

lol tnks.. D place aint looking so bad.. Are u from here?

ismokeweed: You will enjoy there. Uromi is an open-eye place.

tnx.. Are u from there?

oluseyioba: Uromi isn't a village,except d skool isn't in Uromi town

... Well its in uromi town,bt dt part of town that looks lyk a village .. Good thing is that i can trek to town in 15mins or use 50naira bike

Ellatyra: Hahahahaha....I know that school....and it's not a village school trust me! just that people in uromi love speaking their local dialect (ishan)

yap.. They speak ishan alot.. Bt its nt rili a village .. Tnx.. Are u from here? Or u live here?

Mannylex: Uhm so the OBS thingy doesn't really work





Have no fear; Mannylex is here

well.... All i can say is that OBS works when u hv reasonable ppl @ d top.. In my case,the nysc official in charge forwarded our names to b posted to benin bt d head of posting said the population qoin to benin was too much and did a random selection.. Just a few of us ended up @ benin..

zerray: *faint* uromi isnt dt bad just explore and hv fun so u wont be bored.

Goodmorning!

present ma..

I hv bin busy doing very silly things .... Thank God rationalmind has not sold me out yet

rationalmind: Macuwon eating roasted plantain (a.k.a boli) together with his creamy foreign chick

lol... Dts an ugly angle.. U have been stealing shots of me abi.. My creamy chicks face didnt show.. y na?

Mannylex: After all your efforts. Too bad. But if you had the chance of seeing it, its still quite early for you to influence it to somewhere more 'cashworthy'... And since you have likely been posted to a newspaper house and not a school, it means the strict posting policy has been soft pedalled. Thatz good news...







Have no fear; Mannylex is here

the strict posting to schools policy hasnt been soft-pedalled ooooo.. Na because of OBS.. And i dunno if i can influence.. Coz he has signed it and submitted it.

DrPhilABd: Chai! U r so unlucky. Most pple don't even rememba abt such newspaper been in existence. Bt u can mk a difference, bring a change..-dts if u want to.

unfortunately... I dont want to

rationalmind: I don't like joining departments with less stress. You people are too lazy and indolent for my liking.

That's why I joined the department that's most stressful in camp.

opposite!

Hey dudes... Waddup.. OBS had been time consuming.. Bt my greatest fear is here.. It seems am being posted to benin city... Yes everybody wants to be in town but definitely not in a newspaper press.. Coz they may not pay.. When i peeped,my own read OBSERVER NEWSPAPER ;(

Lol... The funniest part of this story was the reaction of the platoon leader of d victim.. We were all vexing when suddenly he ran out frm d bathroom naked with soap all over... Ladies n children whr all over.. He didnt even seem to notice he was naked.. He just ran into the crowd and was ranting 'ITS WRONG' ! And d weird part of it was that nobody seemed to notice he was naked.. When he was tired,he strolled bk into d bathroom..

rationalmind u are an amebo! U shld be in OBS we need reporters like u

rationalmind: No hope

am already in benin.. Observer newspaper

wroskian: Lol... I'm not an official. If you are very active, the probability of getting posted to Benin is 1, that is if anything had not changed.

pls i think i think i hv bin posted to observer newspaper.. They collected our names @ OBS and wrote our PPA.. I managed to peep and saw 'observer newspaper' on my name.. They hv sent d list to computer room.. I jst hope its a good place

wroskian: Greetings to Edo Corpers,

I was in dat same camp 2 years ago. Nobody liked it initially but majority felt like staying longer wen we were leaving owing to the fun we all had. I will advice you maintain a positive mindset and be good.

If u are talented and outstanding in some camp activities(like band,sports, OBS, Dance and Drama etc ) you will get posted to Benin. I was part of the OBS crew and was also one of the outstanding representatives of my platoon (6), where i took part in the drama competition. Remember to diligently seek God too cos he holds the key to all breaktrus.
Since there is no option for 1yr, make the best out of what you have where others are complaining.

People hustle to be posted to Benin because it's the most developed part of Edo state with opportunities for professional courses if you so wish to enrol for any. Some people where posted to villages and ended up with State awards, so don't be desperate. Don't pay anyone either in cash or kind to be posted to Benin.

Wherever God makes you lie will be your green pasture.

Cheers.

am in O.B.S. Any hope?

gregkuika: yea m in platoon 6

am in platoon 6 too.. U may know me.. Am the self acclaimed mr macho in platoon 6.

Btw.. I hv a question to ask everybody oo.. Am a strong member of OBS.. Whats my chances of being posted to benin city.

rationalmind: Funny thing is, you don't have to be in the OBS to miss parades.

I've missed four consecutive parades now and will miss all the rest

whr u dy hide?

rationalmind: @bolded

Macuwon, how many are we in this room?

200 I guess

wrong! We r 231

Valentinooo: @macuwon, more creamy babes to your ministry, @rationalmind, when are you going to have your own first kiss too

first kiss He should be arnd his 30th kiss.. He is always vry close to some very creamy babes!

emenik08: So wat r ur duties as an OBS member? Abeg wich oda groups dey

there are deejays.. I started as a dj.. There are presenters,reporters,writers and the sound technicians/engineers.. Am actually doing all of em

lorddaywalker: badt guy macuwon,did he kiss 1 of doz pregnant women?

badt guy!

Hissexcellencie: *pops bottle*

can i drink?

emenik08: Plz can somebdy highlight d duties of groups lyk OBS n co in camp. Is it compulsory to belong to one in camp

its not compulsory but necessary ... Obs is quite different.. U can be in as many groups as u can accomodate.. But OBS will neva leave u wit tym for oda activities including ur platoon which is vry painfull... Unless u r nt a permanent member or u are a freelancer or on shifts.. And u wil mis al d fun in ur platoon...
I leave my hostel by 4.30 every morning to OBS nd come bk after lightsout.. @ past 10pm.. D only reason ppl knw me in camp is because m vry noisy n social...
And to join OBS is nt an easy task... About 500 came for auditions.. We were only 10 selected! Stress!
But am nt discouraged though coz i lv wt am doing since i most likely would be posted to a favourable place

highmey: Hahahaha...

Where the guy sef, haven't seen his update for a while....

ya i joined OBS nd it has been hell since den.. If u r thinkn of joining OBS... Beta rethink.. It is not a place of rest... Yes... U may miss parades but thats because u r definitely busy... Especially if u r in charge of a department

rationalmind: Okay, una dey find camp updates shey?

Make I give una the one wey una go like.

Macuwon had his first camp kiss yesternight.

I hereby use this medium to stay congratulations to him.

E no easy

amebo! So u cant keep secrets... Well house... I hv got a very creamy foreign trained corper on my side.. Well she is jst one of d many chicks.. Buh she is d creamiest of dem all.. I stole a kiss.. But m nt sure i hv qotten total control coz copetition frm oda guys r stiff .. Good thing is that d both of us r in OBS.
