To make matters worse, the area had poor network coverage and the school still used chalkboard that almost gave him breathing problems.
In his words:
"I was devastated when I saw my deployment to work at a school in a far village in Ibadan, OYO state.
"This was definitely going to be a fall of a large digital ecosystem I have sacrificed and built during my undergraduate days.

Journalist shares what went down after he gave a needy NYSC corps member N15k
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a journalist had shared his experience after giving a needy NYSC corps member N15k.
The journalist with the Twitter handle @poojamedia said the 'corper' approached him and asked for financial help to enable him to resume camping at an orientation camp.
@poojamedia said he was able to squeeze out N15k for the corps member. But on the 7th of April, 2022, the corps member demanded his account number to pay back the money. He said the 'corper' forwarded the N15k to him.
However, the journalist said on Twitter that as a reward for honesty, he returned the money to the corps member as "dash."
He tweeted:
"A guy was going for NYSC, he entered my DM & asked that I raise him with some money to buy stuff to take to camp. I struggled to send him N15K cos he showed all his documents as evidence. Today, he said he got his first alawee & wants to repay me. I sent my acc details."
