	The National Youth Service Corps is a program instituted by the Nigerian Government which is compulsory for every Nigerian graduate to help them impact and serve the country (Nigeria) for a year. It is quite an exciting time as it affords Nigerians who are from different areas in the country to know and live in different areas where they have not been to. Well, my own experience in this program is quite interesting as I got to the camp on the 7th of March 2007. Just like every other corps member, I had to go through the rigorous process of registration process, after which I slept outside with other corps member who were through about 2pm the next day. I was quite fortunate to have a couple of my classmates over there with me at the camp. Well, the camp experience was quite a rigorous one. Marked with so much parading and Man'O War activities . . . of which I dodged almost all. The endurance trekking which was required for us to walk for over 6 kilometres! What! I dodged it also and spent the time to go to the state capital to spy it out. However, the three weeks ended with my being posted to Ogoja, a town in this state to do my Primary assignment. Settling down at Ogoja was not much difficulty. I was quite unhappy as I had my entire mind focused on going to Calabar for the assignment. It was quite fun staying in Ogoja and for the first seven months, I enjoyed the people and the state. I had similarly embarked on some Community Development Service Projects which included: • Training of the Staff and the inmates of Nigerian Prison Service Ogoja • Developed a Corps Members Registration Application at the NYSC Secretariat • Trained the students on the causes and prevention of HIV/AIDS • And others Well, it all ended and I was given an Award at the end of the day. NYSC is something you will not like to miss, you will love it. Hope you enjoyed yours, if not, did you have any thing in mind to achieve when you were serving?
