Just cause.

Any graduate can join the OBS so far you can show the ability to be a good OAP or writer/reporter (though preferences are given to mass comm and other related grads). If you study Elect Eng or you are a DJ you equally have a good chance.

. Thanks for your response bro.......I am a chemical engineeeing graduate but I am interested in OBS

Evergreen123: There is nothing there in being a platoon leader.
Its just extra stress on you, unless u enjoy leadership.
My platoon leader was frowning the day we left camp, he was posted to teach in one remote village like that .
Whatever u gain from being a platoon leader, u can also gain by being a floor member ranging from favorable postings to dating any girl u want.
Even my camp medical director was posted to an 'unsavory' ppa, he asked for rejection and he was posted to a worse hospital, meanwhile,we the 'ordinary ppl' got what we wanted....
In essence, if u don't lobby well, u will stand the same chance as every other person.

lobby! thats the word. know exactly why u r in camp. as CMD camp clinic during my orientation course the clinic head had to ask me to submit names for preferrential postings simply because I was LOYAL.

My people camp abia is d best.abundant water and pests free (no mosquito,sunflies,even housefly).the camp was treated before our arrival.number one camp in nigeria

Tinyemeka:
Just cause.

Thanks!

Mad Cow:

[b]As a former Platoon Leader, I will give you some benefits;

1. Pussiie. For some reason, dumb corp members who are females think Platoon Leaders can influence their posting. Some of my Niggas exploited that.

2. You get the liberty of taking some rests inbetween lectures.

3. Food.. As Platoon Leader, you are incharge of your Platoons food and thus get first dipps at it. (I couldnt stand Camp food, never ate it for even a day).

4. Closeness to the Camp Officials. As the face of your platoon, you get to regularly interact with NYSC officials thus establishing a relationship.

5. Posting to the State Capital. Most of the Platoon leaders that were with me got posted to the State Capital.



DOWNSIDE:

1. Dealing with a multitude of Reetard Graduates. As platoon Leader, you have the ill fortune of trying to reason with unreasonable people. And problem is that they are now in a pack so they are even more unreasonable.

2. Insults: As Platoon Leader, I never one day took money from any member. I put my deputy and finance person in charge of that. Nigerians and Money, you dont want to get caught in the middle of that bullshit.

3. Responsibility: Be ready to sacrifice your time and money for ungrateful fucktards.

Quite a piece. Thanks Bro!

rildwanullahi: Enugu i dont knw,bt state allowee na 5k

State alawee in Enugu is 10k. But you will only be paid if you work for the state government. If federal, nothing for you.

Niyinficient: I hail d house abeg? Any info on enugu state? How d place be like? I mean their nysc package!

Enugu is okay provided you are in d state capital. Else you are O.Y.O.

mojounited: Depends entirely on the type of NYSC staffs and Military Personnel in camp; If they're good/kind, you'll be privy to a bit of key info in camp but you'll have to use that to your advantage - it might not necessarily influence your posting (PPA) though, ELSE you'll benefit Nada, zilch, zero, shimkpain! Best bet, join the NYSC Musical Band in camp - you'll enjoy both in and out of camp. Why you may ask? NYSC Band is the ONLY military arm of ALL the CDS' in camp and the soldiers really respect the band boys as long as you guys can play well during parades and salutes)...I was a member of the band and we used to sit with soldiers in Mami to have fun. You can even leave the useless afternoon lectures on the pretence of going to service/repair the band instruments in time for parade cuz those khaki boys don't joke with parade o. Outside camp, all Band members are ALWAYS posted to the state capital (NYSC State Coordinator will need you guys for National Salutes during NYSC functions in the state so there's no way you'll be posted elsewhere) #My two pence

Please Sir, for someone like me that can't play band, will there be a training?

Rdduite:

Please Sir, for someone like me that can't play band, will there be a training?

@Rdduite, yes! You (and those that have registered interest) will be trained on how to play a particular instrument (trumpet, tenor, bass or snare/side drums) in camp. But I hope you're a fast learner as there'll be few days (Maybe 4-5 days) of training prior to screening... I must admit it won't be easy as you'll have to know, based of your type of instrument, how to play a full military parade, consisting of: Colour party, 3 General Salutes (police commissioner/road safety marshal, military commandant, fanfare for governor/president or their reps), National Salutes (National and NYSC anthems), Inspection, Slow and Quick march, etc. Might not be as difficult as I make it seem, but if you pass the screening, you're 100% going to be posted to the state capital...

I just dey observe say females no dey active for most of these conversation....I stand a chance of been corrected...bros them..Bighanz

savio07: Thanks!

Pleasure.

oluamid:


You can influence it if you are close to the Camp Director, the Camp commandant, Platoon Officers, an L.I or a Z.I. If you join the OBS expect to be posted to the state capital cos that's where you have the Editorial Board CDS group. You can also influence it if you have the money to spend/bribe (though I don't subscribe to such). the surest way to influence your posting though is to become a Platoon Leader or Parade leader.

tnx alot

Do you have in mind to set up a business but no capital?
Do you want to be your boss and employ others?


there is solution to that.

temmyt20:
kk am ede north, 13c

Do u have an idea if they r posted to the barracks? I mean the football players?

godG:
I was a Platoon Leader in camp.

Demanding. Because:

You might not really enjoy your camping being a leader.

E dey pain me say I no get time for 'package' . I was always exhausted.

You have to attend to so MANY things. You coordinate your platoon activities.

Your phone rings at leat 15 times daily. You get to work with the Platoon Officer and/or Commander whenever s/he calls.

You are like the father of the platoon members. Then, you will know that Nigerian graduates are really unemployable. You take excuse for them.

You make announcements in OBS, etc.

Benefits:

You get posted to wherever you want if you did well. Without a dime. My officials actually asked me where I wanted because they loved the job I did.

Likewise, you get access to firsthand info.

Another is that you might be licensed to go to mammi anytime if you have a good relationship with your Commander. Going out from the boring SAED lectures too won't be an issue for you. Just tell anybody that asks you that you are Officer Lagbaja's Platoon Leader. For me, almost all those soldiers knew me. Whenever them see me, dem go say:"Platoon 4 leader, how you dey?" My reply: "I'm good, sir." I go just waka like a boss.

Also, you will never get punished with your colleagues by your Commander. You chose what you want to do and what you don't want, because nobody expects you to kill yourself with all the demands that come with being the leader.

But please, don't mess with your colleagues' money. Be faithful, dedicated, listening, etc. and you would love the experience, because many people will look up to you - even after camp.

Right now, they still call me Platoon Leader wherever they see me.

But I no get time for package. Any avenue wey I see, na soso sleep.

Are you ready for this?

****Pls. excuse typos.

What's the process of being a platoon leader? Is it that they will just ask for whoever is willing to be, you raise up your hands and boom, you're the platoon leader or a group of people volunteers and you do a competition to choose ? How are they chosen?

Secondly, after being chosen, will you be asked to introduce yourself? Like your course of study, school etc?

I'll send a token recharge card if I can get a good answer.

It depends on the camp and the officers.

For us, we were told to nominate anyone we felt could do the job or self-nominate. I put myself forward. Two other guys did.

Then we were told to introduce ourselves—school, course, etc. Then folks were asked to vote for us.

They voted based on our introductions (and appearance I guess). Tó God's glory, I probably had almost 90% of the votes. That's it, can't believe it's 6 years already. (ajoskele and co, una still dey this Nairaland so?)

Keep the recharge card, man.

Hope this helps.

Okay thanks alot. I graduated since 2014 but travelled out for a business that took much of my years. I've decided to serve now.

Also how many people are usually in a platoon (males and females combined)

Secondly, asides being the platoon leader, what's another group that can make you popular in camp and also favor you in getting meaningful PPA's

Lastly, I'll love to serve in an army, airforce or navy barracks. How possible is that ?



I appreciate your answers alot.

godG

Pls just spare me a minute of your time to answer me above. I'll really appreciate alot. You can actually be the reason my nysc was worth the wahala or not. I just want to gain some info so I can prepare ahead.


Thanks brother.

There are roughly 80-150 folks (male and female) in my platoon. The reason this happened was because Abuja corps members camped with us.

OBS (orientation broadcasting service) would get you posted to the state capital.

If you are a good football player and you get selected as part of the Football CDS, you will also be posted to the state capital.

Hmmmm, I can't say much about how easy it would be for you to serve in the Baracks. I think your best bet would be to talk to you platoon officer. In my own case, I had the privilege of serving wherever I wanted—that was what the platoon officer told me. He gave me a blank cheque.

Also, if you have the necessary connects, you should be fine.

Hope I answered your questions.

Is it possible to be posted to ministries? Federal or State while being a platoon leader? Or its the same with an ordinary member.
Also can your course of study influence your PPA not knowing anyone in control or Admin?

Modified: Can you also give a list of Groups one can join. I only know of Red cross and OBS, are there more??
