Share Some Of The Fun Memories Of Your NYSC Days by 7victor(op): 9:22am On Sep 21, 2021*

Mine was the camp itself during the 3 weeks orientation.

Camp opened on Tuesday, but from that Tuesday to Thursday (the day for swearing-in) looked like a very long period of time due to the amount of activities and training leading up to the swearing-in.

But it was only 3 days,ie Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (the swearing-in).

Camp lasted 3 weeks, but it looked like 3 months and we were very eager for it to end.

But after it ended,I discovered that I really missed camp and in retrospect,it was one of the best periods of my life.

I remember what one camp official told us while in camp.

He said "I know you all are very eager to leave camp, but I can assure you, after you have left, you would miss this camp so much that if given opportunity, you would want to come back here.

I discovered it was true in my case.

Camp was fun,NYSC was fun and any time I think of it, I thank God for the whole experience.

Another happy moment was when we were paid the bicycle allowance, and the first NYSC allowance.

When I got posted to Kano town, the school I was posted to provided me with a room for accomodation.

The first night I slept in that room and woke up the next morning, I told myself " Does it mean I will end up staying here for one year, far away from my family?

But I soon got used to the environment and it turned out that one of my best memories is always from my NYSC days.

I remember the saying that Kano is a place that people cry when they are posted to, but after they reached there, they don't want to leave.

I traveled from Kano to my state up to 10 times during my NYSC days.

I did it for the joy of it.

I entered a night bus from Kano to Aba, after which I entered a bus to Akwa Ibom.

It was one of the most joyful moments of my NYSC days.

I remember something I will never forget.

When I saw that it was Kano I was posted to,I was very sad.

My friends started saying how unfortunate it was that I got posted to Kano.

Soon, I was no longer sad.

I suddenly became happy that I would be leaving home, so that my mum, brothers and sisters would miss me, since sometimes, they used to find me trouble.

I promised myself that I would not come home till after service.

Because of the eagerness to leave home,I wanted to leave on Sunday while camp was to open on Tuesday.

But for some reasons, I could not leave on Sunday, but on Monday when 90 percent of prospective corpers also started the journey

When we eventually arrived at the camp in Karaye, I was grateful I didn't leave a day earlier, because I would have arrived camp earlier to take part in the rigours of the camp.

I promised I would not visit home for the one year of my service, but I soon discovered I was missing home, hence I traveled up to ten times to my home.

No lies orientation camp is the sweetest of nysc scheme, and I love everything about it the programs, meeting of new people inclusive looooool I remember a day to the end of camp we thought we would leave the next day and started shouting in the hostel even after light out loooool it wasn't funny when the camp commander came and ask some boys to lie down on the bare floor outside looooool who no fear army everybody maintain silent and the drunk one among us stated make fem sound (shhhhhhh). We almost cried pleading begging those guys to keep quite

Loool another thing is the camp food, looool some of us use to form because we had little change with us, it was almost like a pride not eating camp food, loooool I remember one of the camp official saying if you leave camp you won't have this kind of opportunity again and for real it was like that. Sapa things shaas

But for real camping was fun I love the memory and I will love to have it again
