The National Youth Corps (NYSC) is a one-year mandatory programme for every Nigerian, after the completion of a first degree. During this programme, the corps members are expected to stay in an orientation camp for three weeks to be briefed on what the programme is about.
We often hear the worst stories about the NYSC orientation camps, such as stories of people fainting as a result of the heat of the sun, people falling ill because of the condition of the orientation camps, and they are even some stories about people losing their lives in camps.

Contrary to popular belief, people say they had a wonderful time during those three weeks in camp. So I took to Twitter to ask Nigerians that have gone through the orientation camps what their opinions about the NYSC orientation are, here is what they had to say.
Hey darls, please this is for my schoolwork, please help me get a good grade.

Uncommon opinion about the NYSC orientation camp.
Some people think it was good
Those 3weeks spent in the Orientation camp are actually the best of your whole NYSC year, because regardless of what state you get posted to, you will get to meet people of different characters, backgrounds & beliefs and you’ll have to find a way to accommodate everyone.

Some people think it should be scraped totally or evaluated
I think it should be re-evaluated and restructured completely . And if that can't be done, it should be scrapped completely.

The experience was a good one. But I still feel it should be scrapped or properly restructured.
