Hi. Am a batch C 2014 corper currently serving in bayelsa. Bayelsa is a cool place just dat d cost of living is so so high. Some of u should also be prepared to be posted accross waterr after camping of out of d 8 local govt areas in bayelsa. is only two dat are on land. Once again. Welcome to bayelsa state~d glory of all lands. Holla me if u xperience any problem. My ppa is in yenagoa

,

senior friend Imanuelle, Raod, Palacious and Okusebi, we need you to tell us about Kaiama camp and Bayelsa state as a whole. Thanks in advance!

I won't say d water issue is so bad cos there are stil corpers serving in those places and they are fine. Infact corpers accross water enjoy more dan d ones in yenagoa cos u get a good accommodation,more job opportunities and good pay dan those of us in yenagoa. But if u are he'll bent on serving in yenagoa, then I wil advice u join a group in camp either obs, football, volleybal,mdgs,redcross,band group etc

U are sure of accommodation if u are posted accross water. Most corpers lodges in yenagoa are not too conducive but it's manageable since its just a 1yr tin but if u wanna rent a self con in yenagoa. U shud keep btw 120-160k per annum. Der is mtn, glo,airtel and etisalat networks in camp. If u are eyeing oil job after camping,then be prepared to go accross water to a place like brass where u use a speed boat to travel on water for upto 4hours. They have quite a number of oil company's in brass lik mobil etc

Ppa's accross water provide accommodation. Also some ppa's in yenagoa provide accommodation aswell but not as conducive as d ones provided accross water. Except u hav d money to rent an apartment. As for d state alawi, corpers on land receive 3k monthly while corpers accros water receive 5k monthly but dis money is paid at d end of ur service year.

Which state in d south west are u coming from?

it depends, some school do have accommodation. But if u are posted to other local government, apart from the capital, the have wat we call lounges were corper can stay.

But I can actually build connections there.
