Hi peeps,

I'd like to welcome you new prospective corpers to Anambra state, the 'Light of the Nation', as they say.

I'm a Batch 'C' 2013 corper, serving in Awka, waiting to hand over the baton to you guys. So we are waiting for you, ready to welcome you with open arms, and all our love.

I'd try as much as possible to answer all your questions.

So once again, we're waiting for you guys.

Hello

Is d state very ok and comfortable?

hormohthorlarny: Is d state very ok and comfortable?

First and foremost, I'm from the South-West, and coming here was foreign for me. But so far, it's been fun and exciting. Part of me doesn't even want to leave Anambra by the time I'm done.

The State is okay, and the present administration is really trying to make things better.

The peeps here are quite welcoming. I've had a taste of both sides...the urban and the rural. I was posted to Awka with no stress, no pun intended. But as far as I have seen anyway, Awka can be boring. So I tend to spend more of my time in the villages with my friends.

The question of whether it would be 'okay and comfortable' depends on a number of factors, chief of which is where you're posted to. But for now, I think we'd talk about that later.

The most paramount thing for now is getting to camp, settling down, and enjoying your stay for your first 3 weeks in Anambra, at least for most of you.

hows getting accommodation and is glo network good there

easrael: I'm posted there too from the University of Lagos. My questions are:
1. Where can I get affordable transportation to Anambra in Lagos State.
2.How much is the fare?
3. Is there an ATM in that camp
4. General Camp description and direction there.

As far as I know, transportation from anywhere in the SW to Anambra is between 2.5k and 3.5k.

You would always get transport to Onitsha from anywhere in the SW. BTW, Onitsha is the first port of call in Anambra state. The orientation camp is along the expressway between Onitsha to Awka, the state capital, and on to Enugu. In your own best interest, I'd advise that you take a vehicle going to Enugu and drop at the orientation camp junction at Umunya, Oyi LGA. I had a funny experience on my way to camp too...so wouldn't want any of you to have it. And funny enough, there really isn't much difference between the T.fare to Enugu and Onitsha, probably 200 or 300 naira diff.

There's no ATM in camp, unless you wanna bring yours from home

General camp description? Well, it's along the expressway. Just a short distance from the express, along an untarred dusty or muddy path. Once you arrive at the junction, there would be bikes waiting to ferry you in.

una do well, pls @nyt can one change 4rm the white uniform n camp to somethng else? Coz cold dey dat side

@Paul...Thanks a lot
What can you say about accommodation both in both the rural and urban areas you have visited

tobybasten: una do well, pls @nyt can one change 4rm the white uniform n camp to somethng else? Coz cold dey dat side

Lolz...camp is fun. You'll surely have all sorts of crazy experiences.

In camp, they'll definitely ask you to always remain in your whites 24/7, but who wants to wear his own whites to the bathroom or the loo
Once you are within your hostels, you can wear anything (don't quote me o). The only drawback is if the soldiers decide to face your own hostel at 12 midnight on that day, and ask all of you to file out, God help you if you're found wearing mufti.

On Sundays, you may be allowed to wear mufti officially till 2.00pm, but it all depends on the Camp Director.

Hi guys, congrats on your posting to anambra..I jas passed out from there
1. There are NO ATMS on camp...so gather as much money as you can to last got three weeks..
2. Be wary of anambra people..they will stop at nothing but finish your money especially those going thru onitsha.
3. The camp is very cold do well to protect yourself and be security conscious as 'things' happen in camp...its not that safe
4. If you want to be posted to awka, you have to join any of the groups in camp like ..OBS, Band, Dance and Drama etc...I was in OBS, ended up in awka...there's natin spectacular about the place and its quite expensive
5. Make sure you go with everything you need including stapler and pin cos you will need them...don't bother about electrical appliances cos most hostels don't have sockets
6. Don't show yourself too much even your father is the president...you dunno who you may insult in camp.
7. Be yourself...Batch B is always the best...I was a batch B corper....the camp will be boring if you want it to be and will be interesting if you want it to be...feel free to mail me for any other questions...I hope I have been helpful

I'm a lady not a broh....as regards accommodation...a self contain can go for as much as N60k upward depending on the location...I don't really know about onitsha but I'm guessing it may be more expensive there

No offense taken....well this time the DG has approved private firms to take corpers...if you know a firm that could take you I suggest you tell them to write to the state coordinator and have someone take it to camp to request your working with them, that will save the stress of having to do that when you leave camp
