AZeD1:
What you have in Camps are Clinics not Hospitals, you should understand the difference.


Pregnant women are not supposed to attend Nysc camps


Again the difference between Clinics and Hospitals


In places like South Korea or Israel, you would be serving in the Army. This point here reeks of Laziness.


I really don't know the cause of their death and can't rule out human error/negligence but saying Nysc should be scrapped because of that means driving/flying and all modes of transportation should be scrapped because they kill more humans than Nysc camp would ever do. Heck people die in their sleep, should sleeping be banned?

RIP to the dead.

Thanks for the correction

Lalasticlala please move this to front page another stream will go January they need to be made aware of this and maybe just maybe the government will do something about it

Hmmm.... I thought Ekiti camp was the roughest in Nigeria but seeing all these pictures.... I tender my apology. It is unfortunate and disheartening that the state of most NYSC orientation camps in Nigeria is highly dilapidated. How much will it cost state government to at least set aside some funds for the repair of their camps.
Most of the states can't add anything to the Fed. Govt. allawee and yet will not make any efforts to ensure corpers have a comfortable place to stay and serve in their states. I pray that we will not witness such tragedy in this country again. So so unfortunate to lose two great minds who could have been a source of blessing not only to their immediate family but Nigeria at large. RIP to the demise.

I'm sure there are others worse than this

prettyAdaolisa:
If the government can't handle nysc...they should scrape the damn thing off!...they are humans not goats for crying out loud!!!

So pathetic!

Imagine pit toilet for women

dingbang:
wow. its high time fresh graduates pass a vote of no confidence on NYSC. Boycotting is the surest means

Don't think that will happen

Nysc temporary orientation site camp B

Everyone is faceless and not important until they become popular or pass away, then we wish and gnash our teeth and lament on how nice we should have been to them, how we should have known them more and tried to be friends, this was exactly how I felt when the death of Asuquo Ukeme was confirmed in NYSC orientation camp.

It started as a rumor, a corps member died in a hospital in the capital of Zamfara state {Gusau}, he was in platoon so so so and so, we whispered it to ourselves, someone had just died in Kano camp, we asked ourselves what was happening? and immediately we began to bind the spirit of death out of the camp but it was too late as the next day it was confirmed that yes indeed a corps member had died, he died and left a grieving family behind.

Do I know exactly what really killed Asuquo? All we were told in camp was “he complained of body weakness and when they couldn’t diagnose or treat him in the camp clinic he was transferred to Gusau where he started defecating uncontrollably till he gave up”

Could his death have been avoided? This is not for me to say, I cannot question the Christian God, he giveth and taketh and all things pleaseth him be it good or bad, Asuquo according to rumors was a first class graduate, he was the shining light in his family, he was the torch bearer who would lift his family out of poverty and yet life was snuffed out of him just like that.

The doctors and nurses at the camp clinic will definitely try their best, after all we are all corpers, we need to fake an illness so we can be redeployed or sent home and so they tend to pay less attention to those who come in with unexplainable illnesses, they write a prescription and when you go to the pharmacy they don’t have it you’re advised to go to “Mami” and “PAY” to get it.

I have a lot of complaints but I am a patriotic Nigerian, I will not wash the dirty linings of my country for others to laugh at, I will only say my bit and see if the government will do something about it. Why would NYSC put the lives of corpers in the hands of doctor corpers who just recently graduated? Don’t get me wrong, these doctors volunteered to be there, but they need experienced personnel on ground for emergencies, they need medical equipments for emergencies, they need surgical materials for medical emergencies they need stable light in the clinic, clean environment and professionals to handle cases corper doctors can’t handle.

Did you know a corps member who was seven months pregnant miscarried? Oh such sights I saw, mighty lumps of blood everywhere, oh please don’t ask me why she wasn’t redeployed immediately, I know what I know but won’t say I am still a serving corps member but all I will say is “She didn’t look pregnant and she was unmarried”

Why’s there a camp clinic if it’s not for emergencies? Poor woman had to be rushed to the capital for proper medical care; I will not play the game of what if, but what if there were proper medical equipments to treat her in camp would the baby have survived? What if she really looked pregnant would she have been redeployed? What if she was married does it mean she would have gotten instant redeployment and her baby would be alive today? But I am a patriotic Nigerian so I will not play the game of “What If”

Don’t blame camp officials, they work with what they are given, do I need to complain about the Food? Toilet? Hostels? And security, we slept with our eyes open, we were robbed how many times, oh and please don’t say indigenes did it they are untouchable it’s our fellow corpers who did it, robbed us in our sleep, we saw and couldn’t move our bodies, our lips were heavy and our throats patched, if you didn’t believe in African voodoo now will be a good time to do so because I experienced it firsthand.

I heard 700 Naira is allocated to each corper for feeding and yet our soup on camp is a reflection of our faces, is it the beans which would make you purge or the rice which look and tasted like “just eat and belleful” but the meat was okay, fear for my stomach didn’t let me eat one day in camp, I have many complaints but I am a patriotic Nigerian and refuse to let others laugh at my country.

What should I say about the cold? This cannot be explained but experienced because no amount of explanation can paint a mental picture of how cold Zamfara is and what the cold does to our bodies. Why is Bella home while her peers are in camp? Bella couldn’t cope, the cold paralyzed her muscles and for days she couldn’t walk, well you all remember what I said about “Unexplainable Illnesses” I had to be sent home and applied for redeployment.

You wake us up at 4am, send us into the cold with nothing but our shorts and whites and our Khaki shirt and ask us to pray and do parade, do we look like we have been to “ICELAND” before? I do not want the NYSC scheme to be abolished, I made some great friends and families there, but I want our lives to matter, you don’t take a riverine fish out of the river and expect it to survive in the ocean, you don’t take a wild animal out of the forest and try to domesticate it in a park, I haven’t had an asthma attack in years but my second day in camp I came close to having an attack.

NYSC scheme need to be rebranded and restructured, we are still working with the 1973 brochure, children of nowadays are like “Agege Bread” soaked in water we are not strong, I saw a lot of things in camp but I am a patriotic Nigerian, I will say what needs to be said “camp officials tried their best”

Asuquo shouldn’t have smelled death in the next 70 years or so, the corper who died in Kano should be planning her wedding very soon, but both Asuquo and the corps member in Kano had one thing in common”NYSC” his parents couldn’t even afford to bring his body home, “NYSC” paid for the body to be taken back to Porthacourt “Oh death you shouldn’t have taken this one”

I cannot say rest in peace to Asuquo

I cannot say rest in peace to the corper who died in Kano

I cannot say rest in peace to the baby who was never born

I cannot say rest in peace to the NYSC scheme

I cannot say rest in peace to their dreams

Oh death how many more rest in peace do you need?

You're trying to tell me you had no fun in school? Well i did, and i cant imagine myself being like you in school, if i had met you, I'd have shown you the light, and we would have straffed a lot.

Never said I didn't

SexyNairalander:
so you mean you didn't straf all through the time you were in school?

I didn't date was the word I used

A university is a place of learning and so many other things, meet people, make life connections, get pregnant, get carried away, be serious, be unserious and so many others, but mostly it is a place where major decisions which will affect and effect our lives are made, today I will be talking about five things I did while I was still in the university that I totally regret today.


1. I trekked like the children of Israel in my first semester, I schooled in Republic of Benin, and a hundred cefa was like a hundred naira to me, I didn’t want to waste that amount of money on a short distance, I trekked to school, trekked back home, trekked to and fro under the sun and rain and then I became as black as Esau in the bible, till today no cream I have applied have been able to was off Cotonou sun from my skin.

2. Doing free jobs for students, I have never hidden the fact that I am a pure ajepako, I have always been street smart and a street kid and it’s made me the hustler I am today, living in Cotonou is very expensive I no go lie abeg, mum wasn’t sending me money, I was doing house agent work upandan and you know students now they don’t want to pay agent fees, they’d say Bella please do it for us na, na we we, when you get the house we will settle you well, na so I go trek under sun o, knock from compound to compound at the end of the day shishi I won’t see, and so the history of how I became a female Esau continued.

3. Not paying for food or paying less than I ate, mehn I no de carry last, I just eat, stand up and walk away, whenever I feel generous I just write my own receipt and give them, I thought a few of my friends this trick and very soon the whole clique would go there, until we were caught and had to use argument to say we’d pay; well after that day whenever we went there to eat they made us pay first.

4. I didn’t date, my mates were busy finding the love of their lives and all I thought about was where my next meal was going to come from and how to pay my next school fees, I just wasn’t interested at all, I didn’t want any boy to come and beg me the small egusi I brought from home or eat my yam with me and I honestly saw it as a distraction, I finished secondary school very early and gained admission very late all I thought about was just finish and leave, but now I totally regret this who knows me and my bobo would have been going to camp now, but I’m glad I finally found someone.

5. I didn’t keep in touch with 98% of my classmates, by nature I am a chronic loner, my only female friend was my roomie and now we’re very close, I had two male friends and one of them is married now with a kid and my female friend stays in the east so you can imagine when people ask me about my friends what I tell them and what their responses are, this is my nature and a habit which I am trying to break, I am a very sociable person, people like me and want to be friends with me but if you push too hard I feel choked and begin to withdraw and now I have just few friends that I am very proud of.

These are the things I totally regret and a few I don’t want to mention like writing for students but hey! We all got flaws and no one is perfect, I am heading for camp now and I will be better and stronger when I come back.
