"What's Your Worst NYSC Experience"

This is the question I asked on my Facebook page to my now over 1.2k followers. As usual I didn't expect a single response, but here I was again with a slew of responses. Truly, thank you to everybody who takes out the time to share their story with me. I will try to share each and every one of your stories at one point or another. Thank you.

One Facebook user, Emma's story really got my attention. The story is REPULSING. It's vile, it's rotten, but it's such an accurate representation of the NYSC camp that I, Jide myself went to as well.

It was this authenticity in his story that made me sure I had to post it.

So without further ado, let's dive into the story.

As always, for storytelling purposes, I have re-written the story in a way that reads better. The story itself is unchanged, but because the discussion we had was through DMs on Facebook with a lot of questions and answers, I had to consolidate everything Emma told me into one clean story.

Are you ready to read Emma's excruciating story? Then let's dive in.

Emma's Story.

By far the worst thing I saw in NYSC camp, I don’t even know if I can say it out of my mouth. It was something they called “Shotputting”. It’s so disgusting. I can’t even say it yet. I’ll come back to it, let me tell you some other experiences first.

The first time I entered the camp, the soldiers were just first of all unnecessarily mean. I don’t know who they were trying to flex for but those men were just angry for no reason. Then, they took us to our hostels.

Mannn, when I tell you that I’ve seen snail farms that are better than that place we were supposed to sleep. Even pig farm must be better than that place.

One of my worst was when I had to go and bath in the night. It was already dark outside, like around 7 at night, and there was no light in the bathroom. I remember all the bathroom stalls were occupied, except one. Other boys were bathing outside, but man I wasn’t ready for that one so I just said I’ll use the unoccupied bathroom.

If you’re squeamish, this is your warning. Everything after this point gets very uncomfortable and very disgusting, but this story also gets very very funny.

When I stepped into the bathroom, the ground was full of water as if somebody had just been in there before me but the water wasn’t draining. It was dark and I’m happy I couldn’t see anything, because the water around my legs didn’t at all smell like water. The water smelled distinctly of urine.

I quickly stayed as close to the door as I possibly could because the water hadn’t started gathering around there as much. There I quickly cleaned myself, scrubbed my leg, and got out. Man, when I tell you that my legs were ITCHING ME. Itching me like die after that thing. Definitely that place I was standing, it wasn’t water on the floor, it was urine that had accumulated.

Urgh! There’s some really bad ones but I won’t share them because they’re too disgusting. Okay, I’ll just share one but let me warn: jump to the next paragraph if you don’t want to be disgusted. One day, after the morning exercises, I came back to the hostel and went to one of the toilets and Jide, there was faeces trailing from the toilet door down to the toilet itself. And that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that the toilet itself was clogged and piled to the top with faeces and urine, so it was overflowing.

Man, NYSC is a joke! Like even just writing this, I’m getting disgusted all over again. Like, for what? Why did they really have to come and put young people through all that kind of hell? If you’re going to take somebody out of their parent’s house for a government mandated program, isn’t the best thing to do is at least make sure that the place you’re taking people’s children to is sanitary?

Anyway, back to what I started at the beginning about the ‘shotputting’.

One day, one of the boys in our room…I don’t know what possessed him but by like around maybe past 1 or 2 in the morning (I was awake because guy I couldn’t sleep in that camp), this boy took a waterproof bag, and in the middle of the room, he took a dump INTO the waterproof, and then proceeded to go outside, swing it around and then throw it over the fence. I later came to find that this thing of pooing in a waterproof bag and throwing it over the fence was actually quite common and was what people called “shotputting” it. That day I remember so distinctly because I had to try and act like I was sleeping and couldn't see anything, but the boy wasn't too far from my bed and his shit STANKKKKK!

So disgusting!

Yeah, off the top of my head, these are definitely the worst things I can remember experiencing during the NYSC camp.
