Nigerian students schooling at the University of Arkansas held an event to re-enact the NYSC experience so that their host community and other foreign students could experience what it’s like.
The Nigerian students went the whole nine yards as they made NYSC uniforms for themselves and for their hosts. They re-enacted the NYSC camp drills, Mami market, NYSC Passing Out Parade, presentation of NYSC discharge certificate, and other aspects of the NYSC program.
In photos and videos shared online, Nigerians and foreigners can be seen wearing their NYSC crested vest, their khaki trousers and the face cap as they carried out the exercises corps member engage in at their various NYSC camps across Nigeria.
This is just funny to me ????
