Travel Carefully!

Road, journeys are very popular with Nigerians especially journeys to the east and north of the country, while these trips offer a great opportunity to see the people and sights that make up our country & for us prospective corp members.


Long distance travel can be unpleasant if not properly planned. Here are some tips to help you travel cheerfully: Avoid drinks such as colas, tea and coffee that contain caffeine at least 24 hours before the trip. Reduce salt intake 24-48 hours before traveling, as sitting for long hours tends to slow circulation down. Swellings around the ankles and feet due to water retention can be very painful. Wear loose and comfortable clothing made from lightweight fabrics.


Take a book or some newspapers along to stave off boredom if you can't sleep during bus rides.Sleep a lot if you can. The trip offers you a great opportunity to relax. At each major stop get off the bus and stretch your limbs. Exercises can also be done while sitting in the bus. Rotate each ankle several times, first to the right and then the left. Next give toes a stretch by wriggling them up and down. Raise arms above head and reach upwards. First to right and then left, several times during the journey. Above all have a positive attitude and enjoy the scenery as the bus breezes past villages, cities, valleys and the forest and amazing stone formations. Notice the ever-changing vegetation and the different communities and their peculiar building etc. have fun.

What To Do When Your Bus Breaks, if possible join the driver to contact the transport companys head office & hear what they ask you to do. If nothing positive, ask for a rebate form & board another bus so as to arrive to your destination!

All my Eastern brethren, tomorrow Monday 4th of August we head towards Onitsha from there its a straight bus to Sokoto!


We'll arrive sokoto on Tuesdays morning before 4am

Bloomingbud: I don't know cos I either go from Lagos or go from Kwara. Can't say much about there light now but light in Sokoto is not bad.

Wishing you a fruitful stay all through.

Bloomingbud: Sokoto to Lagos is between 16 and 18 hours if you follow the young transport.

Which other major Transport company other than the young shall grow ply south or east? please advice

Bloomingbud: Hmmmm. plenty questions o.
I served last year and I didn't camp in wammako, I camped in farfaru but they have moved to wammako the permanent camp. The camp is very OK but don't know about the security situation.

There is no type of food you want that they don't sell on camp as long as you have the money, there food is always #200 per plate and very OK.

Sokoto is very developed o. a uni, polytechnic, nursing school, coll. of edu. and so on in the state capital.

When you get there you will be surprised that the place is OK and very low cost of living. Just pray you are posted to the state capital.

7da8ad25. Note, am not in sokoto but I might be able to help.

Replying me on this thread plus your bbm is enough to convince me that you're a good person willing to help & God'll bless you for that!

Light? I know our country is a bad place to expect a meaningful power supply but then some places or states are better than others, so what's the situation over there?

Bloomingbud: ............. so enjoy your stay in sokoto.

4)How developed is their major towns, how many schools, universities & college of education do they've?

5) Please kindly drop your BBM, whatsapp or any personal contact that i might used to get to you for more questions & assistance please ma.

jamanuka: Heard NYSC is planning to place corpers on same salary scale as civil servants
www.vanguardngr.com/2014/07/nysc-place-corps-members-civil-service-salary-scale/

Will this happen in our time?

That will be a welcomed development! Come to think of it, some corp members work harder than some school teachers, some engineer the public sectors beyond imagination but are paid mingyly!

In fact, i almost supported Corp members turning their ppas into business like environment cos its not easy to manage less than 30k for a full month!

Darkchocolate: Hey Sammy...How are you doing? Not heard from Smeeky for a while. Is he ok? How come I dont have you two on my BBM...That's sacrilege!!!

iamnolongerkool: How old are you??If you are above eighteen then it is sad that you are not mature enough to say that someone's blog is damn..Well thanks hater..

Hater?
Well i sincerely don't have your time cos am busy making my money!

holusormi: Just because you are a poor sod, who most likely will remain poor doesn't mean other people are, what's the big deal in using up to 4 or even more high end android devices ??... bro, u don chow dis morning?.. I hear hunger makes a man maddddd!!!

Like seriously you must be a teenage kid!

That you've eaten thank God, not all are priv to have something to eat!

Never be braggadocio cos my friend you don't know tomorrow!

Those who think they have might end up losing everything cos this life is like palm wine! today's so damn sweet but tomorrow it becomes bitter to some & sweeter to others!

Nostalgia21: whether i lose it in a sec or not doesn't concern anybody...so, let me make this clear.. I was an android fan. I've used up to four high end andriods including the lg g2 and htc one m7 and sincerely, i always find myself runing back to my iphone... Have you ever used a phone without any lag or bug whatsoever?. Have you ever used an iphone 5s before?. Pls get one soon. And come Give your testimony

Dude, i can't thread words here with you cos of my level!

I've shared & navigated my friends iPhone 5. like i always said, it wasn't mine i know but we shared a room together so I was priv to rock his phone for that time being!

IPhone 5 had bugs if you don't know, time will fall me listing all of them here to you so that you can possibly think of saving more for iPhone 6

iamnolongerkool: Lol..Am dropping for a particular network daily..Today own would be mtn...

Nostalgia21: Iphone forever mehn... I don start dey save up for iphone 6 sef.

Keep saving, you'll only realized that you've been saving for what you can only loss in a sec all your damn life!

About the comparison, some niggas haven't used an android phone yet & are quick to say "iPhone all the way" Mtcheew!

Guys, i hard a friend from China that uses iPhone 5 but can't share any app, music, videos etc with even another iPhone not to mention sharing with an android!

How can I use a mobile device only left with an option of getting my own apps, musics, videos etc without giving or accepting from my peeps easily?
