A Must Know About NYSC Orientation Camps by bamac(m): 8:30am On Apr 30, 2015 |
Congratulations to have successfully graduated from your respective higher institutions. This is another bridge you need to cross before you go into the labour market. The service is not as sweet as you have been assuming it to be, you have to prepare your mind towards serving your father land like a SERVANT. Rules and regulations in the camp are very huge and cumbersome, failure to abide by them is the beginning of problem with NYSC. You will wake up as early as 4:30 to prepare for parade and be forced to go to bed by 10pm and at times, you will be woken for emergency alert in the middle of the night. You will be restricted to just white on white like "white fowl" that the soldiers will call it, but might be allowed to wear any outfit on Sundays(depending on the state). Depending on the season you are mobilized for service (rainy/sunny/harmattan) you must be prepared for the weather. In the raining or harmattan season you should go with white cardigan to curb the cold or else, you are on your own. You shouldn't expect quality and large quantity of food since you are not in your father's house but in your father's land. It is advisable you are financially prepared to an everage extent so as to patronize those in the mammi market especially if you are the type that is somehow selective when it comes to food. If you are not financially capable you can manage the food NYSC will provide like i did too! mind you it's just for 21days. You will be forced by the soldiers to do things you are not used to but you have no choice than to do them, in NYSC the common slang is "NO OPTION". Be prepared to squat, jump, jug, run etc. For those who are religious, not too worry, NYSC has 3 major religious groups in the orientation camp which you can attend or if you wish you may decide not to be part of any. For the writers, footballers, dancers, volleyball players, drummers, modellers etc. You will be allowed to showcase your talents also. One of the most important sections of the NYSC is the lecture you must attend on daily basis. Thought in some states if not all states, the lecture is always boring which you might have hit your head with the next person behind you in the same condition as you before you realise you have slept. There is also a programme called skills acquisition and entrepreneurship development (SAED) which all corp members must partake in. Don't expect a very clean toilet or bathroom since it is not meant for a family, remember that corpers came from different backgrounds. You will partake in cooking in the hot kitchen and cleaning of the orientation camp. Man 'o' war drills are also there for you to partake in. Click here for example. If you want to satisfy your stomach in whatever way since you are not allowed to cook on your own, the mammi market is opened when parades and lectures are over every blessed day....

For those who will be posted to Cross river state. I must let you know these few things : 1- The camp environment is very dirty and muddy ,hostels won't be kept tidy neither will you get clean water 2- Don't expect good meals in camp unless you visit the maami market 3-Be on the look out for your items because Obubra corpers usually act funny , get a mosquito treated net along with your items and don't pack too many loads 4-Endeavor to make good friends ,inorder to make your 3weeks interesting and always be the first in attendance if any NGO show up looking for volunteers. 5- Calabar municipal ,Calabar south ,Obubra ,Ogoja and ikom are the best places to serve but good accomodation & good foods are not easy to come by unless you can pay good money. I wish you guys all the best ,I'm a 2015 Batch A corp member . Feel free to mail me if you have any question. 1 Like |

muyiwaadekunle1:do they pay well in Cross River? |
Re: A Must Know About NYSC Orientation Camps by Nobody: 8:58pm On Sep 03, 2015 |
bharkarh:. The state pay 3000 naira and its not frequent |
Re: A Must Know About NYSC Orientation Camps by bharkarh(m): 1:51am On Sep 04, 2015 |
muyiwaadekunle1:o ga o. I'm so after d pay. Please suggest 3 states with good pay for me. Tnx |
Re: A Must Know About NYSC Orientation Camps by Nobody: 6:33am On Sep 04, 2015 |
bharkarh:my brother if money is the motive here, you won't get anything done and moreover, do you want to impact knowledge on the younger ones ,gain valuable experience working in a firm or chasing the doe round town . As a corp member so many business opportunities will emerge wherever you get posted to ,it is left for you to scout those opportunities and make money from it . States like Lagos , Akwa ibom and Osun pays better . The decision and choice is yours ,goodluck with it. |
Re: A Must Know About NYSC Orientation Camps by bharkarh(m): 7:58am On Sep 04, 2015 |
muyiwaadekunle1:tnx for the advice. I will agree with you on not being after the money but truth be told, I really need to save cos the stipend wont be enough for me as i will want to do one or two professional course(s). And about me impacting knowledge on the younger ones, I've been doing that from time immemorial as I derive fun in helping others in all areas that I'm profecient in. All the same thanks a lot! |
