Gentlemen corp members, I know.many of you will be going for the INEC screening soon and its pertinent that I give you these tips that'll not be given to you by the INEC and NYSC officials.

1. If you don't use an internet enabled phone, Buy sufficient airtime on your phone and ensure you keep your phone charged at all point in time.

2. Always look out for the escape route at every assembly you find yourself at this period; RAC center, Collation center, Polling Unit or wherever.

3. Endeavor to look for the Head of DSS and Police numbers in your LGA( This can be gotten from your orientation booklet or your LGI) and save the their numbers on your speed dial list and 2 and 3 with your parents/guardian having the 4 and 5 speed dial.

4. Stay ALERT both mentally, physically and spiritually, There's no useless information, signal, signage or signpost at this point in time. and know the basics of the host language; know things like: where is the nearest police station, kill him, carry him, stab him and some other emergency/alert lines.

5. NEVER attempt to rig in favor of any party whether APC/LP/AP/NCP/UPN/SDP/AD or any other party that might rig because it can result in mob action that can take your life.

Bonus Point: Northern Corp members should please Note that if you observe too much hostility before the election in your area, DON'T PARTAKE; you spent much more money than what INEC would pay to train yourself in school. 2011 stories still abound.

Bonus Point Two: Immediately you finish reading this, pass it on because you will be saving lives. We must all learn from what happened to people in 2011
