Newly deployed Youth corpers in Rivers state has sparked reactions online after sharing a video of them travelling to their Place of Primary Assignment (PPA).
Their Place of Primary Assignment (PPA), usually located within commuting distance, turned out to be a remote island accessible only by sea.
In a viral video, the Youth corpers could be seen wearing l orife jackets, eyes wide with a mix of excitement and maybe a little fear as they bobbed across the water.
Their island home seemed far away, and not just in distance.
The video has sparked reactions online. Some were worried about the corpers’ safety while others wondered why anyone would take on such a tough job for just N33,000 a month.

My dear that is the fun and Beauty of NYSC, though it’s risky.
Those of you complaining, if you come to Bonny. You wouldn’t want to go back.
Wahala i go dey shake for boat like say tommorow no dey chai so danger
And the trouble even be more complicating when you post inexperience children to these remote parts of Nigeria,all day n the name of youth service. This is not talking about the associated risk of terrorist,unknown gunmen and banditry. I think that it would’ve been necessary to put this scheme on hold for some time until these menaces are checked.
this types of assignments is supposed to be accompanied by helping tools
nigeria is really funny
Sorry but this don happened to people before you and they survive
Sorry my dear but you have to do it, it’s an assignment I pray God will see you true
May Almighty Allah guide amd protect you guys, we 33k is nothing but you still trying your best to go for your primary assignment…
I also served at Rivers but the level at which govt is restructuring is far better. Good days ahead
It has been happening since, God will surely keep others safe.
They don’t have choice, they have to do it, is just for the main time
Those before them faced the same thing is that not one of reasons they are undergoing NYSC? Common get in the boat.
