This is an exclusive interview by Onyeoziri Favour with someone currently at the Jigawa Camp. Courtesy of Rouvafe.blogspot.com.

I know that many people have been very curious to know exactly what the Jigawa camp looks like, others also have several unanswered questions regarding the camp, so in other to satisfy your curiosity  and mine, i took out my time to interview this Corper who is currently at the Jigawa orientation camp and this is what he had to say about Life in the camp. I hope you find this information helpful.

Rouvafe: How has camp been so far?
Kaylords: Jigawa has been tough and rough. It hasn't been easy Bro

Rouvafe: Finally u came online. Thank God
Kaylords: Lol. The soldiers no give us rest at all

Rouvafe: Sorry, it would soon be over
Kaylords: Thanks

Rouvafe: please which network is the best in Jigawa camp?
Kaylords: No network is good here. The network is usually fair at midnight.

Rouvafe: I heard Etisalat is good there?
Kaylords: In fact you no go even get time to browse in day time. I only have time to chat with you now because we are currently on inter-platoon parade.

Rouvafe: God help us. How is the weather over there?
Kaylords: The sun over here is like hell fire.

Rouvafe: Wow. How do one get drinking water?
Kaylords: There is sachet water in abundance here, the only downside is that its always hot due to the hot weather.

Rouvafe: How about electricity?
Kaylords: There is no power supply here,
I will advice you to buy a good power bank, because right now, its only my power bank that i use to charge my phone.

Rouvafe: I heard power is constant in many other camps across the country.
Kaylords: PHCN here is very bad, we spend most of the day outside on the parade ground. However, the camp generator usually comes on for only two hours at night.

Rouvafe: So just two hours power supply a day?
Kaylords: I only know about night. I cannot say for daytime, because we spend most of the daytime on the parade ground.

Rouvafe: You mean that you spend the whole day on the parade ground without any time allotted for resting?
Kaylords: Just two hours rest in the afternoon and that is usually without electricity.

Rouvafe: Chai
Kaylords: Yap

Rouvafe: I don enter am
Kaylords: Lol

Rouvafe: How about the camp environment, is it OK?
Kaylords: I will advice you to buy a good body cream which you will use at night, because the heat wont let you use body cream during the day. Aside the heat, everywhere is good.

Rouvafe: Is there cold at night?
Kaylords: No cold at all, the weather is always hot. Every night we have to wet our beds with water to make it cold.

Rouvafe: Wow
Kaylords: My guy, I mean every word I tell you.

Rouvafe: Are the toilet & bath facilities good?
Kaylords: Yea, even the hostels are nice.

Rouvafe: How about redeployment,
Can someone redeploy from Jigawa citing security concerns?
Kaylords: No

Rouvafe: What of Gombe?
Kaylords: Yes

Kaylords: Were you deployed to Gombe?
Rouvafe: Yes

Kaylords: your orientation camp will be at Jigawa
Rouvafe: Yea, i know

Rouvafe: So is there any other useful information that i need to know about the Jigawa camp?
Kaylords: Yes. Just make sure you come with enough money.

Rouvafe: Ok Sir, Like how much is ideal?
Kaylords: about ten thousand naira.
