Nothing really. Any background for the passports.
And airtel network is the best in camp also. About the green card, we didn't have any in last batch so wudnt know, sorry.
The biggest stress is the reg process. But I'd advise to take ur time with the process.lol. Didnt start parade till Thursday. I hid all my stuff pretended I was still doing the reg.
It's all fun tho! Eventually u will get tired and can't wait to be done. I hope I answered ur questions?

very true....infact Peace mass transit at Ojuelegba costs 3100 to Onitsha....i had d same argument till i thought abouy d comfort of gettin dropped directly at d gate and d prospects of meeting up with fellow "Otondos" who r also resident in lagos evn before gettin to camp...d extra cash is for d comfort n fun(hopefully) and networking during the trip...

still not worth it?...well 5k really isnt that much...

didn't really tot about that. Guess its worth it.

Otondos! welcome to Anambra state ' The light of the
nation'. I shall be giving you important details for a
conducive stay at anambra.
Transportation: From south west, edo , delta; board a
bus going to enugu ( the reason for this is to avoid
undue stresses of moving along the onitsha busy street
with your excessive luggages, also, it will aid ease and
speed of getting to d camp since umunya is along
onitsha-awka-enugu road), alight at umunya corpers
camp. then board a bike to d camp.
For those who deem it fit to pass through onitsha, or
those coming from other parts of d country, after the
bus has dropped u at onitsha, get a bike that will take u
to where u can get bus to Awka (upper iweka). (pls be
security conscious, since u are new to anambra, even
though onitsha people are so friendly and hospitable,
some elements still exist there). board awka bus and
alight at umunya camp(150 naira); then board a bike to
d camp (50 naira or so).
ABOUT UMUNYA CAMP: The camp is located at Oyi local
govt, it has a serene and green environment, with lawn
looking parade ground. it consist of many well built
and painted hostels like the independence ( up
indepence hostel), oyi, national, white, equity etc. with
bad toilets and bathrooms ( so expect, shot puts and
longthrow, although not advisable but i do am well
well).
On arrival : I would advise u to arrive to camp early, so
as to get a better accomodation, also to avoid long and
stressful queueing during registration after a tedious
journey and to get a fitted or a fairly fitted kits- many
will get extra large). on arrival, u will be searched by
some friendly officers, then you proceed for
accomodation registration, after getting your hostel,
locate a suitable territory for your bed location, keep
your luggages on it ( remove cash, atm, phones and
other valuable items). then speedily go and get your
bed at the store on the other side after the parade
ground. after collecting your bed, take it to ur hostel
and proceed for call up letter clarification and other
registration in phases
Camp Officials: Umunya camp has the most friendly but
disciplined army ( all hail the commandoes, you guys
will meet d young fluent action commando, comedian
RSM, atama clapping r.i.p. platoon 10 commandant).
The state coordinator, who is popularly known for her
charming dresses and her anthem ( anyama
supepe....anyama, anyama supepe). The camp
coordinator might be mr. uranta, a tall skinny man, whose
popular slogan ussually make the crowd burst into
laughter ( good morning this morning, something
happened yesterday, camp court!), the Obs man,our
devotional cordinator ( remember to learn On christ the
solid rock hymn) thats d devotional anthem.
my advice: dont insult any camp officials no matter how
small or menial they look, they might turn to be your
lga inspector or zonal inspector after camp; for
example, my own lga inspector was in the kitchen in
camp.
Groups in camp: There are various groups i would
advice you to join.
1. OBS- orientation braoadcasting service oversees the
passage of information/announcement, entertainment,
public address system, sport commentary during
matches, event organizer, news broadcasting and public
relations.although its for everyone, but to avoid
eviction i advise that if you are an entertainer,
communicator, engineer ( majorly electrical), musician,
comedian, studio technicals, commentators, you can
join this group.
2. Camp Band: these are those that engage in military
parade entertainment, devotional praises with drums,
trumpet, saxophone, biggle. they also engage in
blowing the biggle ( its like trumpet) for light out and
conveyance to d parade ground. ( everybody knows the
biggle man and trust me, na nysc pikin be d biggle
man). if you can sing, energetic enough to stand for a
long while, could play instruments ( wind and
percussion instrument), you can join this group. there
is a great reward for joining.
3. Camp court: if you a legal personnel, this is d group
you must join. they oversee the legal activities of the
camp. they issue punitive measures to undisciplined
corp member based on the nysc bye laws ( abeg make
una no face camp court oo, even jail dey camp ooo).
lawyers, dont let corp members know u are in camp
court ooo...(joking)
4. Medical expertees and red cross: this consist of
medicine and surgery graduates, nursing and science
laboratory technologist. you must always be in the
camp clinic for emergencies and treatment of ailing
corp member. your own parade ground is the clinic.
5.Other groups include social committee, sport
committee, SAED committee. joining some of these
committees might not yield a good result. i am a victim
of sport committee, even though it was fun and an
added knowledge.
Platoon Activities: platoon means a 'small group of
soldiers'. The last number on your state code
automatically fixes you in a platoon. e.g state code 1214
will be in platoon 4, code 0320 will be in platoon 10,
code 2381 will be in platoon 1. A platoon officer ( nysc
official), platoon commandant and assistant (2 army), a
man o' war and platoon leader and assistant ( a corp
member)
a. Platoon leader-He/she will carry out the leadership
responsibility in the platoon as designated by superior
platoo officers listed above. Guy! please rush in for this
position; though stressful a bit, but its an hot cake if
you are effective. most especially when u win trophies
for your platoon.
b. Platoons challenge- Several competitions will hold at
the camp, which include, sport (football, volleyball),
drama, macho man,dance (mostly cultural dance of
your posting state), beauty paegent, comedy, talks,
parade and some other social activities. Your
engagement in these activities and yielding remarkable
result for your platoon might lead to a favourable PPA
posting. Its really fun guys.
Camp Supplies: You will be provided with a bed space
( first come first serve) and a mat-looking bed (na joke
ooo!), a meal ticket ( trust some of the 'Jagunlabis' who
ate more than 2 plates with one card). You will be given
a complete kits in which many of u might not get a
fitted size. ( try and exchange with others who needs
yours and you need theirs OR beg the officer in
charge). Also, there is a consistent and uninterrupted
water and electricity supply (no charging points in d
hostels).
Camp Market: popularly called 'maamy' . many market
sellers are waiting for you to patronize them,ranging
from food sellers ( state local meal, indomie, fried
foods like akara), tailors, phone charging spots,
consumables, plates, socks and underwears, dry
cleaners, viewing centers e.t.c. things are very
expensive in camp. Also try and visit the federal market
(nccf).
Religious activities: you are at immunity to practise
your religion as far as it does not interrupt with camp
rules.
My Advise: many lives might be ruined in camp and
many lives will be equipped, its an avenue for you to
draw closer to God. Activities will almost take you away
from your spiritual devotions but Nigeria christian
corpers fellowship and muslim corpers fellowship are
there for you.
both fellowships will withdraw cash for you ( u might
run out of cash, charge your phones and couselling. all
for free!)
NCCF impact your life through their daily worship and
word filled service and engages in spiritual counselling
and welfarism. The MCF makes sure u engage in your
daily 5 times prayed uninterrupted.

Feel free to ask question about any pressing matter. 21 days in a confined territory
away from the real world is once in a life time. two
things are involved, its either you are equipped or
destroyed. I am trusting God for your lives that after 21
days, you will come out smiling and not soberly, with a
testimony and not with regrets. Have a fulfilled stay.
