Photos: See the state of the NYSC camp in Cross River
According to twitter user @SusanHenshaw50 who
shared these photos, this is the state of the NYSC camp in Obubra, Cross
Rivers state. Another photo after the cut...
Lols... I was in that camp in May and I know that poultry ward is horrible. Though people that stayed there during my own time said that the poultry is a good place. Even though I don't see anything good there. They allocated that hostel to boys in our own set. It's like the girls are much this time around. They have very good hostels cos I was in hostel C then and it's was nice. Poultry ward is only for those that came late to camp, so they should manage it. What I don't like there is their water. It's extremely harsh... n that one is not NYSC's fault.
Actually itz nt dis bad,i campd dere as well last yr.dat particular place is for corpers dat got to camp late,lik d 2nd or 3rd day from d resumption day.dat person s nt showin d good part.
True. I served there too. The hostels aren't bad at all. I got to camp late sef but I was still able to get a good bed space. But their water dre is sumfyn else. Even the pure water ain't pure.
I know dat feeling cause my elder sis served in dat camp n after 20yrs I served in d same camp n everything she told was d exact things I saw,nothing changed*crossriver shit as hell
Water to fetch!plate to wash...obubra NA camp,who nor go nor know.d state coordinator alhaji kurawa is a detribalised nigerian and I will always remember platoon 12
obubra, free them, they should suffer when they leave camp and enter calabar city,theyl start saying they love crossriver. #i miss my serving days in calabar #municipal garden
Ewww it is a regrettable lugubrious to seen my people living in this kind of place they called NYSC camp. As rich as Rivers State nd Nigeria are it was this poultry they builds as NYSC camp. They should #change this poultry for my people as NYSC camp who so ever in charge of NYSC#.
The person dat took this pix, y didn't u take pix of other places/hostels... Obubra camp make sense jor... where is divine photos sef...? Cosmetics and Ajegule
This is not true linda.....I served in cross river abt a year ago and i can assure u dat the camp is really nice and conducive. #pls get ur fact right.
I served in calabar but camped in best camp in Nigeria I guess " katsina" when I redeploy to calabar the experience my friends had in that camp as they told me waz really really discouraging and makes you wanna throw up.
11: The LORD will remember HIS WORD to u; HIS PROMISE will preserve your life and comfort you in hardship of the land. Your lodging will remain SECURE in JESUS name. CONFESS THIS: according to Psalm 85:12 LORD I receive. ALL THE GOOD THINGS that YOU have for me; LORD MY GOD, the land you gave me shall yield its HARVEST of Peace Joy Success --- for me when am living and in good sound health in Jesus name
I camped here Dec 99 ... same bungalow only it was harmattan season. Dry and cold nights punctuated by sound of the bugle by 4:45am. Mammy mkt,Radio house fun with Segun who later became Mode9 the rap legend. Govt shd try and give this place a face lift. They cld call 'ex-campers' doing well to come renovate buildings and they name it after the financier abi? Linda Mesere.
One oily finger soils the rest. Fix the hostel. No excuses whether one corper is late or not. An NYSC Camp ought to be inviting and uplifting to create a good mood for national service.
Do people still go for NYSC? Na wa o. I'd rather sell goods than conform to dirt, filthy and unhygienic environment. Since you guys to speak up for your rights,instead you pack your bags hurriedly to serve a country that doesn't value it's citizen. Make una dey enjoy the crap treatment that comes with it. I will never, ever do NYSC, and those are my reasons. If you subject yourself to that kind of shot, you'll take shot for the rest of your life. I am yet to see any camp in Nigeria that the toilet is as clean as my Father's old house at least. Women I pity una past,putting up with all this filth esp during your monthly visitor that you need to clean up. NYSC my foot.
Abeg it's bad tho... but I served there and this hostel is actually d hostel dey give to late comers cuz the main hostels are filled up... so whoever sent in the picture shouldn't make it look like that's how all the hostels are!
Cross River camp is not in such poor state.......... Na una sabi sha, since Donald Duke left Cross River is heading 4 d worse by d day.... Ayade is just a noise maker..
Obubra is f**king dirty. Evn d oda hostels r not jst it . Dey pack pple in d room witout proper ventilation . Nysc is rubbish pls . And so if dey cme late . Wot if everyone cme at d same tym , ds shit hole wld still be allocated to some pple . Nysc fix ds problem
My experience in Obubra camp Cross River State during 2013 Batch C Camping was horrible. The facilities are too bad. Those concerned should do something about this, cause is not good for Cross River with it beauty as a tourist destination. I represent Lasvegas hostel the most rugged hostel in Obubra camp. water to fetch, cloths to wash....
I keep wondering why people serving their fatherland would be made to go through this hell holes called camps. Nigeria, we can do better than this naa.
I keep wondering why people serving their fatherland would be made to go through this hell holes called camps. Nigeria, we can do better than this naa.
Yet NYSC top officials live in affluence. I heard of an NYSC director in Abuja, who bought an apartment for her fresh graduate daughter as at then, in a block of luxury apartments somewhere in Maitama, opposite Dunes, for $1m (One million Dollars). I don't know why it has been difficult for successive governments to look into the affairs of NYSC and how their "monies" are spent. Do we talk about the ever increasing list of "Ghost Corpers", whose allowances are shared by NYSC top officials. This has been the practice over time, yet nobody is interested in knowing what is happening. I expect a change in this era of Change; I believe sooner than later, there will be a shake-up in NYSC, like it is happening in Customs.
A single person stole 13billion pounds.... our former president signed a contract of 9 billion naira for the procurement of kerosene stove.. where r we going in this country
I server in Cross River too, this part of the camp is the extreme end of the camp and most people there are people that came late to camp, there are nice Bunks in Obubra camp>>>>nw this pic mks it look like this is hw cross river camp looks like>>>
I used to be here. WORST NYSC CAMP SO FAR. EVRYTIN ABOUT THE CAMP IS NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABPUT.WHEN THE MILITANTS WHO WERE GRANTED AMNESTY WERE CAMPED HERE, THEY LIVED LIKE KINGS AND NOW PPLE THAT VOLUNTEER TO SERVE THEIR FATHER LAND ARE SUFFERING
