you are going to have to buy another phone maybe nokia torch and experiment with all the telcos

network is bad all around because the telcos need to raise their prices to match operating cost

more importantly, once you leave major urban areas you will encounter dead zones

in 2013 i was in an accident at ore. no mtn network, no glo. i think it was etisalat that worked.

I don’t think the network being an issue here has to do with the telcos increasing their prices to match cost but it’s always been like that and the indigenes confirmed it

I bought a small itel phone and glo sim thinking glo works more in those rural part but glo turned out the worse

All the networks bar airtel are worse here cause airtel is just a lil better

Ibime:

The network has been an issue since yesterday

BlueRayDick:
Nice one 👍

Imagine Jos experiencing cold while heat heat wan wound person for Lagos

The thing just get as e be
Cold that you must always wear hoodie, even the cold no master the indigene

iamoyindamola:
These guys also know when graduates are going to camp, why can't the government also improve security during this time
Is it not better to use money to improve security than using times 10 to pay ransom
If they budget #100m to share across the country to employe more bodies like amotekun, jtf etc to help soldiers across various checkpoints all over the country

Or better everybody should camp in their various resident states

BlueRayDick:
Shegzdave how far ? Hope ur journey is progressing as planned ?

Please stay safe out there o.

Insecurities everywhere, there was a time I was sleeping in the bus and the it jerked and I thought it’s kidnappers, may God help them

I’ve arrived since 5pm just network issue,

Jos cold no be here ooo and they said it’s not even cold

raumdeuter:
Where you reach now

I don reach plateau since 5pm but there was no network since that time.
Thank you egbon

Ibime:
How many you got left?

I just want to start my skills class cause I’m done with the foundation , I forfeited the skills to this year due to some reasons

Tallesty1:
Even with the insecurities, it's still the best. Kidnappers operate more in the day nowadays

You’re right.
One should just pray to his ‘Chi’ to protect him

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Thank God.[/color]

Like you said, concerning very long distances like this, night journey is the best if not for insecurities

izzou:
[color=royalblue] How's the journey so far?[/color]

We are on our way to Abaji
Thank you boss

afrodoc2:
Have a safe journey.

Thanks Doc.

afrodoc2:
Licking up?

Hmmmmm

Just following your teachings in mentorship Doc

BlueRayDick:
Good ! While writing ur exams , do well to watch out for graduate trainee programs of EY, KPMG, Deloitte , PWC , Accessbank , UBA , Coronation Merchant bank , Heirs Holdings , etc .

Apply to as many of those companies , make sure u write as many aptitude tests as u can and attend as many interviews as u can .

While ur mates are stuck in some village teaching some primary/secondary school subject that adds little or no value to them , u are actively navigating ur way in the labour market . And u might be fortunate to land a good paying job before or by the end of ur service year.

Due to the the serious issues in the Nigerian labor market , it is advisable u start early .

Thanks chief🫡

Amigoss:
Stay safe bro

Ihebu4chelsea:
Safe journey bro.

Amen, Thanks I appreciate

BlueRayDick:
If u can, please redeploy back to Lagos after ur 3 weeks in camp . In fact , while in camp start processing ur redeployment .

The only advice I can give any graduate posted outside Lagos, Rivers , FCT , etc where things Dey happen and headquarters of companies are located is to relocate back to Lagos and start the job search journey earlier .

I consider spending one full year teaching or working in an LGA council in a place like Plateau or any other part of the north , east , southwest , etc a complete waste of one year.

If u are Lagos within that service year , u will have an advantage over ur peers in the sense that u can apply for graduate trainee roles , internship and other entry level roles while ur mates are busy focusing on teaching in one obscure village .

If u are lucky , u may even get job while still observing ur service year. If I had known this during my own time , I wouldn’t had wasted that full service year teaching , eating and sleeping .

The reason for redeploying is so as to finish My ICAN exams

Roland17:
I'd advise you to approach it from a positive mindset.

One of my best life experiences was when I served in Afuze (Owan East LG), Edo state. My parents were relentless in trying to convincing me to redeploy because it was Edo and all they have heard, but I refused.

Today, I never fail to show kindness to any Edo person I come across because, my goodness, they showed me a lot of genuine love and took me like their own. Infact, I don't allow anyone speak evil about Edo people near me. Their mothers are the best and they have some of best singing voices I have ever heard. I never paid a dime on market days and the guys, while crazy, were just as kind. I still stay in touch with a few and plan to visit the next time I am in Nigeria.

I guess I am just trying to help you see that beyond the issues, this is a life experience that has the capacity of shaping or reshaping your views about certain aspects of life..

Embrace it!

I was speaking of the insecurity of the nation and not the place I was going to

Thank you for the advice and I’ll approach it with positive mind to enjoy the place and I’ve always been the kinda person to blend with anybody wherever I find Myself

A friend of mine that went to camp in plateau last year was telling that I’ll enjoy that place and she assured Me.

TrebleChamp:
Night journey used to be fun and safe back in the day, you go even see babe rock all night until you reach your destination. Men don commit plenty sin sha...

You’re right
I’ve always loved night journey but the state of the country is bad due to a lot of insecurities

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Na wa

NYSC isn't worth it anymore [/color]

You’re right.
Serving a country where your security isn’t guaranteed

GloriousGbola:
Afro.doc see what you have taught boiz

izzou:
[color=royalblue] I'm guessing you are going to Mangu... That's where NYSC camp is, in Plateau.

I went there during my service days. It was an NCCF Conference. We travelled from Kebbi to Mangu..A full day journey.

I waka well well during my service. Sadly, one cannot try that now, make Ransom collectors no gbe you.[/color]

They’ve moved it from Mangu to a temporary location, I think insecurity is the issue for moving from there

The fear of ransome collectors is the beginning of wisdom

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Yes oh. No stopping.

You'll definitely meet some corpers like you, and una go dey together.

Definitely going to be an experience [/color]

Already licking up with them

iamoyindamola:
Safe travels bro

Amen, thanks broski

BlueRayDick:
Safe Journey .

This is Iddo/Oyingbo abi? Most of their p move in the evening . That’s the same place I boarded while going back after the first 3 weeks camp and the break we were given after resuming at PPA .

The good thing about traveling at night is that u will get to ur destination during the day and u will be able to find ur way around .

Amen boss, thanks
Nah, this is Ijora badia and only one bus has moved since and it’s from luxury silver buses

swiz123:
That money you want to waste on transport, why not keep it and wait for next batch, then look for another plug. No go waste one year for farm land.

I’m definitely going to process redeployment

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If you have a cardigan, hold it oh. They won't switch it off oh. You can only close your vent, but the bus go dey chilled

If you are like me that can easily get stomach upsets, buy Bitterkola.

Don't chop and drink heavy. Buy biscuits and maybe water. Ensure you empty your bladder well oh

Night bus no dey stop. Once they buy Diesel, no stopping unnecessarily [/color]

I don’t like to eat while traveling, just water till I get to My destination to avoid any inconvenience in the journey

The people there advised us to also hold our cardigan cause of the cold cause they’re not stopping at any time unlike luxury silver that make stops

raumdeuter:
In addition to Segedinho jazz and Psalm 23. Don't sit close to the driver or the door where the soldiers sit and if possible stay for middle.

Exactly where I sat.

Thanks egbon

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Sure guy.

No fear. You will arrive safely

That bus is the new model sef. Most likely Air conditioned.

God will see you through.[/color]

Amen, thanks boss

It’s air conditioned and new

Decided to take the evening bus because when I checked every transport, almost all of them are scheduled to move in the afternoon/evening cause of less patronage. Most people are moving tomorrow

Bonny way transport ways
