NYSC is that mandatory scheme where all fresh graduates are slaves to the government. And for every corps member, getting posted to a place of primary assignment is the dreaded moment of truth. The beating heart when you check your dashboard, the shock when you finally see where you’ll spend the next ten months, the tears after. Here is a list of all the things that could possibly happen.
1. Getting posted to a primary school

6. But they accept you with open arms and even throw a party

8. How you compensate yourself with the thought of an increased allowee

And you have gone to collect Benz on credit.
