Lady at Abuja NYSC camp shares experience
The young lady mentioned the times she had been to the dining hall at the orientation camp since she came to the location.
According to the TikTok post by @peshpgold, the young lady mentioned that since she arrived at the orientation camp, she has only visited the dining hall just once.
However, due to recent developments and her inability to keep buying meals, she decided to start using the dining hall instead.

In her TikTok video, she said:
"Omoh, since I came to this camp, I've only visited the dining hall just once, and that was yesterday, but from the look of things, I think I'll be visiting the dining hall every dam.n day because hand don reach corper. Corper don suffer, Corper is seeing a lot. Make una send funds before I die."

"Mine was just one mark, and it wasn't for me, it was for my friend that wanted to eat Sunday jellof. I didn't even know where the kitchen was."
The statement made by the corps member got the attention of Legit.ng and as a result, we reached out to the lady to hear more about her experience.
The individual explained the challenging part of her service year. She spoke about the morning drills and other things she faced at the NYSC orientation camp in Abuja.
Her statement:
"The most challenging part of NYSC camp life for me has definitely been the early morning drills. Waking up as early as 3am almost every day just to meet up with 4:30am devotions and parades is truly not for the weak."
Aside the drills, she mentioned that it wasn't easy to eat proper food in the camp, hence she needed to buy meals with her money despite the availability of free food at the dining.
She continued:
"Should we talk about how expensive it is to feed and survive in camp? Literally everything demands money, and the prices are way too high for a young person still trying to find their footing. I have lost count of the number of times I have gone broke just trying to survive. The food at the mami market is expensive, yet the portions are so small. And the dining hall meals? Not nutritious enough and far too little for grown adults who are stressed from morning till night, meaning you must still visit the mami market, which means more spending and more heartbreak."
Aside the food part, she mentioned that light was a difficulty in camp as there was little or no time to use it and it was not stable enough to be used.
Her statement:
"Then there is electricity. We only see light once in a blue moon and it goes off before you finish celebrating it. And please, the sound of that bugle trumpet has humbled me more than life itself!"
"But honestly, beyond all these challenges, the hardest part has been adjusting to the routine. It is exhausting, but it has taught me discipline, patience, and resilience I did not know I had."
Having had her share of NYSC experience, she advised prospective individuals who would in few days, weeks or months become corps members on how to be comfortable during their 21 days orientation at respective NYSC camps.
She said:
"Come with plenty money because that is the only way you can survive without feeling the pressure and struggles!"
