Confusion as Soldier Queries Corper for Wearing Skirt in Jos Orientation Camp.

A viral video has surfaced online showing a soldier questioning a corps member at the NYSC orientation camp in Jos, Plateau State, for wearing a skirt instead of the approved white shorts.

The unidentified corper was seen in a pleated white skirt, a clear deviation from the official camp dress code, which requires corps members to wear white T-shirts, shorts, and sneakers during drills and activities.

The video, first posted on TikTok, has stirred widespread reactions, with many Nigerians debating the gender of the corper. While some viewers suggested it was a female member possibly dressing modestly due to religious beliefs — others argued it looked more like a man.

Social media users had a field day reacting to the incident, with comments ranging from humorous takes to outright criticism.

One user wrote, “Wait, na guy o 😳🤣🤣,” while another added, “If dem tell am squat now, how she wan take run am? 😂.” Others pointed out the strict cold weather in Jos, joking that wearing a skirt made little sense given the conditions.

The NYSC scheme enforces strict rules on uniforms to promote discipline and equality among corps members, making such deviations uncommon and often controversial. It is yet to be confirmed if the corper in question faced disciplinary action.

The clip continues to trend online, adding to the growing list of unusual and humorous moments that often emerge from NYSC camps across Nigeria.
