| SE And SS Welcomes A Northerner by astana1: 7:45pm On Oct 25, 2016 |
I was born in Lagos state and have spent most of my life in the southwest but I am actually Hausa. I Have never been to the south-east or south-south part of Nigeria despite having many friends from the region. I had been to practically every region apart from the SE AND SS.
As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher and nothing prepares you for the unknown as much as the NYSC does. I remember the day i got my Call up letter like it was yesterday. We had all gathered in front of the faculty officers office awaiting our turns to get called in for our Posting letters. Many people came out of the office rejoicing and this gave me a little bit of hope but boy was i wrong. I knew i wasn't going to get what i expected when i noticed the countenance of the officer as he handed the letter to me.As I stared down at my call up letter with the bold words written on it 'A State in the South east', I couldn't help but let the flow of mixed feelings come through. At first i was dazed, then slowly the reality of my situation began to creep in. I could feel my heart shredding into several pieces with every beat. This was probably due to the negative stories (kidnapping, fraud and etc) and pictures I had heard and seen in the media. While others were rejoicing about their states of deployment, I simply walked to a corner to let hot tears that had welled up in my eyes fall freely.
At that moment, Google became my best friend and the Nigerian Map became my Companion. Who knew the southern Province occupied about 1/3 times the size of Nigeria? Before then, i didn’t….lol!. Since desperate times requires desperate measures, lots of things went through my mind with the first being how to change my state of deployment but since i wasn't married, Heavily pregnant or sick & living with a serious health condition, my hopes of changing my state of deployment flew out the window, my fate had been sealed.
I Had my camp in Enugu and was posted to Calabar.[i][/i]
On getting to Enugu state, I found the place to be Dirty and rowdy. The camp was even worse than most of the NYSC camps I had visited in other states (mine included). My roommates were fun and lively. Fortunately for me, 3 of us were from the same department in school, so we kinda had an upper hand in bonding with the others.
After finally completing the registration process at my PPA, I was so uncomfortable and angry. The lodge I was provided was tiny and stuffy,
and at night the mosquitoes came en masse on their power bikes. My first night was dreadful, I couldn’t sleep. Throughout the night, I made a
mental note on getting a new apartment the
next day. The next day I asked around for where I could get an apartment around my PPA. I finally got one and I spent two days buying stuffs and tidying the place up.
In summary, It was a horrible expireInce, everyone there was abrasive and were not polite. They always tried to deceive people. I will never wish that experience on anyone. 1 Like |

Hmmm.. You should have asked your Dad to send servants up ahead before you got there.
Graduates there are every where. Perhaps you should have asked to be posted to a local region if you want to be treated like a king.
Just do what you were sent there for and you will earn your respect. Otherwise, you will only be as significant as every one of those grasses lining the road to that PPA. 2 Likes |

It was posted by someone like you
[b]For more than 11 months now, I have been viewing as guest mostly in political section, entertainment and business, political section is my favorite, my experiences for the past eleven months motivated me to sign in, one thing I noticed during my observation period was some tribalism, hatred and jealousy by some individuals, there are major culprits which I don't want to mention here, you know them, sometime I ask myself how can this nation move forward with so much hatred, jealousy in this beautiful country God blessed us with, he gave us every thing from North east west and south, God blessed all the tribes in Nigeria one thing or more, but our major problem is how to harness and manage our God giving resources, I believe the three major tribes are to be blame. same hatred and Jealousy pushed Nigeria to the first civil war that millions of souls were lost in both side, thank God we came together, but have we learn from our mistakes, I don't think so, some time I believe black man is natural wicked, just check around you and beyond, all African countries same thing is holding blacks down, because of poverty and quest for political power African man can commit any kind of atrocities just to acquire power and once he succeed he /she will practically forget his manifesto to the poor masses that voted him/her in, and their political sycophants (willing tools) they sell their conscience for peanuts, they are after their stomach and immediate family, our great economics once says "Our recent history has shown that it hardly matters where the occupant of a particular position comes from. I am not sure how the welfare of Ota/Ogun people changed because Obasanjo was president of Nigeria, or how the man in the street of Katsina or Otuoke/Bayelsa prospered more than others simply because their son became president". Region that motivated me to write this are Igbos in eastern region, this was a region that their land was leveled by Nigeria military force and their allies, they virtually lost every thing, shelter, food, cash and some of their properties outside Igboland, I don't want to blame any body for the souls and misfortunes that we experienced as a nation during and after the war, if you have travel round this country you will understand my point, if you are not easterner and probably visiting east for the first time your feelings and perception will be a deserted region and possibly village as we watch in home movies, that was my and so many of my friends, when I was opportune to visit east do to the nature of my job, before I got to Asaba airport I was like wow! moving down towards Onitsha bridge here come another beautiful skyline we have in this nation, Onitsha high rises were standing like Chines soldiers on parade grin the bridge look so beautiful and the road when I got to Owerri that was were my Job took me to very lovely city I had funny in owerri, there was never a dull moment, same job took me to Enugu and Umuahia, but before I got to Enugu we went through Awka another beautiful city within Anambra, journey to Enugu was rough because of bad federal road but when we arrived it was getting later, although the city was light up and there was night life, Enugu to me is well planned city after ABJ, people I met were very calm and easy going, Umuahia too look very beautiful, but one thing I kept asking my self, this was a region I had different perception of, this was a region that lost all their properties during the war, and I was assuming the region was deserted because of large numbers of Igbos we have in Lagos, Abuja and every nooks and crannies of this nation and beyond, you don't blame me because I thought the hardship they faced during and after Nigeria civil war would have pushed majority them out of their region, coupled with the policies out political elites initiated after the war, I realized Igbos has indomitable spirit, hate them, jealousy them you can never kill their spirits, you can see them how they are pulling the strings in education, Innovation, commerce and industry, art, entertainment and sport, east to me, has the highest number of human resourses in Nigeria, Igbos produced great men and women such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Micheal Opara, Alvan Ikokwu,Okadigbo, Akani Ibim, Achebe, Chika Obi, Oby, Aunty Dora, Kanu, Okocha, Chioma Ajuwa, Genevieve, P square, Don jazzy, Chima umunna, Soludo, Pat Utomi, Innoson, Tony Elumalu, Chimamanda, and others greats sons and daughters of Igbo, other Nigeria also contributed but just imagine Nigeria without Igbos? How do we unite with love to build a great nation, we are so divided now, we hate, kill and envy ourselves can we succeed? I guess with love,peace and unity in North, west, south and east we will over come the challenges we are passing through, but the question who will unite Us?
For those of us who have not been to east here is the videos and pictures that I viewed as a guest yesterday and today that made me to join nairaland family, Onitsha video wowed me, although I passed through the road on my way to Owerri, but what surprised me how these guys were able to do this few years after losing the war? it now goes to the quote from our great economics our recent history has shown that it hardly matters where the occupant of a particular position comes from. I am not sure how the welfare of Ota/Ogun people changed because Obasanjo was president of Nigeria, or how the man in the street of Katsina or Otuoke/Bayelsa prospered more than others simply because their son became president , second video and third Innoson Chuku, I was able to read his biography, what a great man that started from scratch and got to the level in a short time without coming from region that had dominated political power.

In summary, It was a horrible expireInce, everyone there was abrasive and were not polite. They always tried to deceive people. I will never wish that experience on anyone. Let me give you a brief insight into Nigerian history 1945 Kano massacre, hundreds of Igbos killed 1953 Jos riots, thousands of Igbos killed 1966, over 50,000 Igbo men, women and children murdered all over the North Add this to the numerous massacres since the 70's to this day, with herdsmen attacks and well over 100,000 Igbos have been killed just in the North alone. And more will still be killed in the future. Now how many Hausas have you heard have been killed in Igbo land? Practically none. And you dare come here to write about your bad experience? I dont blame you, I blame Lugard for bringing us together. When Igbos say they are tired of Nigeria and want their own country, they dont say it because of the love of talking. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

At that moment, Google became my best friend and the Nigerian Map became my Companion. Who knew the southern Province occupied about 1/3 times the size of Nigeria? Before then, i didn’t….lol!. Since desperate times requires desperate measures, lots of things went through my mind with the first being how to change my state of deployment but since i wasn't married, Heavily pregnant or sick & living with a serious health condition, my hopes of changing my state of deployment flew out the window, my fate had been sealed.
I Had my camp in Enugu and was posted to Calabar.[i][/i]
On getting to Enugu state, I found the place to be Dirty and rowdy. The camp was even worse than most of the NYSC camps I had visited in other states (mine included). My roommates were fun and lively. Fortunately for me, 3 of us were from the same department in school, so we kinda had an upper hand in bonding with the others.
After finally completing the registration process at my PPA, I was so uncomfortable and angry. The lodge I was provided was tiny and stuffy,
and at night the mosquitoes came en masse on their power bikes. My first night was dreadful, I couldn’t sleep. Throughout the night, I made a
mental note on getting a new apartment the
next day. The next day I asked around for where I could get an apartment around my PPA. I finally got one and I spent two days buying stuffs and tidying the place up.
In summary, It was a horrible expireInce, everyone there was abrasive and were not polite. They always tried to deceive people. I will never wish that experience on anyone. You had your camp in Enugu, and was posted to Calabar? Continue deceiving yourself...you certainly aren't deceiving us! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Let me give you a brief insight into Nigerian history
1945 Kano massacre, hundreds of Igbos killed
1953 Jos riots, thousands of Igbos killed
1966, over 50,000 Igbo men, women and children murdered all over the North
Add this to the numerous massacres since the 70's to this day, with herdsmen attacks and well over 100,000 Igbos have been killed just in the North alone. And more will still be killed in the future.
Now how many Hausas have you heard have been killed in Igbo land? Practically none.
And you dare come here to write about your bad experience? I dont blame you, I blame Lugard for bringing us together.
When Igbos say they are tired of Nigeria and want their own country, they dont say it because of the love of talking. Don't mind the dirty idiot 2 Likes |

I was born in Lagos state and have spent most of my life in the southwest but I am actually Hausa. I Have never been to the south-east or south-south part of Nigeria despite having many friends from the region. I had been to practically every region apart from the SE AND SS.
As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher and nothing prepares you for the unknown as much as the NYSC does. I remember the day i got my Call up letter like it was yesterday. We had all gathered in front of the faculty officers office awaiting our turns to get called in for our Posting letters. Many people came out of the office rejoicing and this gave me a little bit of hope but boy was i wrong. I knew i wasn't going to get what i expected when i noticed the countenance of the officer as he handed the letter to me.As I stared down at my call up letter with the bold words written on it 'A State in the South east', I couldn't help but let the flow of mixed feelings come through. At first i was dazed, then slowly the reality of my situation began to creep in. I could feel my heart shredding into several pieces with every beat. This was probably due to the negative stories (kidnapping, fraud and etc) and pictures I had heard and seen in the media. While others were rejoicing about their states of deployment, I simply walked to a corner to let hot tears that had welled up in my eyes fall freely.

You had your camp in Enugu, and was posted to Calabar? Continue deceiving yourself...you certainly aren't deceiving us! I saw this and was like  My ppl. A bu m nwafo. I was posted to Kwara. Had my PPA at Tsaraji next to Share. In conclusion, I was grateful to NYSC for opening my eyes. It was wonderful being with other tribes and nationalities. The Nupes and Yorubas were caring and wonderful people. I learnt so much about their culture that later helped me to settle down well in Lagos. If you adopt an open mind you see the very good side of the people. But if you are negative, you end up seeing only the negatives you carry come. 1 Like |

When you see a typical write up of an illiterate zombies. Go school, una no gree, pls someone should explain to this bubbling fool that there is no connection BTW calabar and Enugu. These are two cities situated in two different states.
You see what illiteracy has brought to this country, President a stark illiterate, his zombie media fighters bubbling illiterates. That's why recession can't never stop and the economy will be decimated b4 the end of this Babylonian rule which is characterized by lies and cheap propaganda. |
