what you guys have been posting nau

don't get

Guys I've following this thread since Early Dis year....I've learnt a lot esp. ahead of my service year A16. I believe life gives us punches and b4 we can win, we av to maneuver and punch harder. I av nothing now and I av a dream of owning things and helping ppl. where I come from, nobody would help you Mk it in life cos dey believe life is a competition. I know my nysc year would b year of open doors and ma dreams would b reality. What defines a mans character is what he does when he has everything and how he manages when he has little.

sundayslim:
I served in 2013 and funny enough in kebbi state. During my NYSC, I made around 400 thousand naira aside my alawee.

Let me quickly explain.

1. I offered to assist fellow corps members to save their money (Cuz its hard not to spend it) and in exchange they pay me 1k per month. I had about 50 people patronizing me during NYSC.

2. I helped polytechnic students type their final year projects and assignments at cheaper rate. God blesses me and my boss in my ppa allowed me use the office printer for free so I was making around 10-15k per week from this.

3. I taught in a private school as side runs. I was favoured in the sense that I only come when I have a class and leave once I'm done. I was paid 8k per month from this.

4. I held private home lessons for primary school children near the house. God so kind, I was making 5k per child each month. We used to meet 3 times a week. I had about 3 children.

5. I built a wireless network to help NYSC in the state speed up their camp registration process. This really helped me a lot. I read a few things online and applied it to help NYSC and it worked. In return, I was taken to 2 camps as NYSC staff still as a corps member. Made 40k each time aside feeding expenses.

6. I taught computer courses to fellow corps members at 10-15k each. Was able to train about 6 corpers during my time.

7. As the key drummer in my CDS (dance and drama), I made some money every time we were invited to perform at events.

Those were the major activities I engaged in during my service year.

I went on to use the money to pursue professional certifications, and today I can proudly say I am a network professional with competence in Cisco, Microsoft, Comptia, Huawei and Mikrotik network technologies, as well as project management according to PMI.

Don't ever be discouraged. There are hidden blessings and countless opportunities in the most unlikely of places.

Wishing you success all through the year.
25th birthday on March 24, 2016. You are all invited.

Cheers.

men I love your versatility!!

I was doing side jobs. I organised private lectures for about three students. The pay was small but it was solving certain needs.


Kwara is not a state you will get enough money to save but standard of living is relatively cheap there. Food and houses are very cheap.

Peradventure you are posted to kwara, don't do anything to influence your posting to Ilorin ( the capital city) ooo, if not, you will kill yourself by yourself or even borrow money home.

Goodluck

let's be realistic. many states are also like that even the Almighty cross river and akwa ibom. The only good places there are their towns. But entering their villages, some still live in mud huts as house. some places is very rare to see a single modern house. Igbos' rock jare, they try to develop their villages by building modern houses. Then tomorrow Yoruba ppl and other tribes would be saying "igbos and village" especially because they always travel home for festive seasons like Christmas. Of course who would want to spend Xmas in a mud hut.

ok.... am attentive

rosalieene:

you want to do the questioning here? lol. ok

Anyway my experience..Kwara state govt doesn't Pay a dime. Getting to see Kwara state as my state of deployment dealt me a blow cos I never expected it and have heard some not so encouraging things about Kwara state from my friends who served there before me...
If you lucky, your Ppa will provide accommodation and payment for you but in mine case, no payment and no accommodation..
Kwara isn't as lively as Lagos state though but people I have met so far are nice trust me on this one..

Stayed in Ilorin and also the outskirts of Ilorin there isn't much difference though

Be rest assured that once you are coming to Kwara even after camp, there are some Corp members who will be willing to give you guys whatever assistance you may need in terms of accommodation, putting you thru clearance stuff etc etc


What else again??

no wahala then.... just quote or mention.

Your peasant #19800 allawee is not ment to be saved,you serving Corp members should enjoy your little change and your life, some people will be starving themselves in the name of saving money,till you get sick you will know that all you saved is nothing. I am presently serving now and enjoying every bit of it. My write up is not for everybody hmmm

stephano100:

thanks bro....surprised about the Ilorin part o, wanted my ppa there oo,anyway I know better now. it seem your also from uniben lol #greatestgbogbo!!!

I graduated from uniben. Greatest gbobo... unibest forever. if you are posted to Ilorin, you will hardly get free accommodation from ur ppa, accommodation is also very expensive, plus too many side attractions that will take your money.

State ministries doesn't pay one naira except schools that will pay about 5k which you can still get in other areas.

If you are posted to kwara just let me know, I ve some LGI's no that can help you to get a better place. Only if you are posted to kwara.

Goodluck.

Kwara is not a bad are you think... There is no place without hos ugly side. Apart from the fact there is no money in the state, it is relatively a peaceful and cheap state.

I served in kwara and had fun. I had value for my money as well. Free accommodation, sometimes free food, free cab with free babes. Etc
