Top 10 Reasons While Serving In The Village Is Awesome

From the low cost of living to good electricity, safety and many more, I present to you below Top 10 Reasons While Serving In The Village Is Awesome.

1. Low Apartment Rate

One of the major challenge in the city is getting an apartment. It even becomes tougher when your place of primary assignment did not provide you with accommodation. Or even worse when they give you an apartment that is not suitable.

Corpers deployed to villages have no worries when it comes to getting a suitable apartment for a cheap price. I have seen and heard of villages where you will get a room self contain apartment for N10,000 or even less.

There are some communities that will even give Corpers members free accommodation all through the NYSC service year. See also: 10 Tips For Renting An Apartment As A Corper

2. Cheap food

Where will you get cheap and varieties of food if not the village. The yam you will get for N5,000 will go for as low as N1,500 or less in the village.

Food is down to the earth low and you will eat like a boss with just a little change. One of the many Vibes in the village you can’t get in the city is cheap food.

A saying goes like “A hungry man is an angry man” Ever seen a hungry Corper teaching Mathematics before, go to the city.

3. Good electricity

The electricity in the village is always Dope. As in, 24 hours a day. There are no industries to divert the power and no big industries to cause low voltage.

I know some of you will have arguments against this point, the comment box is open below for your arguments. The Village always enjoys good electricity which the city cannot match. See also: Top 10 Legit Work From Home Jobs In Nigeria For Corpers

Your security is sure because, in the Village, people look out for one another. The many risks you face in the city is not in the play here. The village environment is friendly and secure.

5. Saving Is Easier

While you will be a superhero to serve in Lagos or Abuja and have savings after your NYSC, it’s really much easier for Corpers in the village. Because everything is cheap and there is a limitation to things available to spend money on, you can save more.

The city was built to take all your money away with a lot of charming stuff you can’t ignore. The house rent is cheap, the electricity bill is low, no water bill, no clubs, no Sharwama joint, and no Barbecue stand. So how will you not be able to save?

6. No CDS

This might not apply to all villages, but majorly for places far away from the local government. The only thing you have to worry about is the once in a month clearance. Meaning your Wednesday or Thursday CDS day is a free day.

Instead of attending CDS every week, you will only need to go for clearance. This is something you can’t dodge in the city.

7. Personal Project Is Easy

What personal Project idea do you want to do in a Place like Lagos or Abuja that it is not already in place? There is absolutely a big limitation to project ideas in the city while anything you do in the village will be a big deal.

You can bring many ideas of a project that will benefit the village you are serving so easily. Just a walk around the street and you will see many things you can do to add to the villagers. Remember NYSC is not all about allowee alone, it’s all about touching lives. See also: Top 10 Security Hacks For Corps Members During NYSC

9. You will have more time
