Congratulations to have successfully graduated from
your respective higher institutions. This is another bridge
you need to cross before you go into the labour market.
The service is not as sweet as you have been assuming
it to be, you have to prepare your mind towards serving
your father land like a SERVANT.
Rules and regulations in the camp are very huge and
cumbersome, failure to abide by them is the beginning
of problem with NYSC.
You will wake up as early as 4:30 to prepare for parade
and be forced to go to bed by 10pm and at times, you
will be woken for emergency alert in the middle of the
night.
You will be restricted to just white on white like "white
fowl" that the soldiers will call it, but might be allowed to
wear any outfit on Sundays(depending on the state).
Depending on the season you are mobilized for service
(rainy/sunny/harmattan) you must be prepared for the
weather. In the raining or harmattan season you should
go with white cardigan to curb the cold or else, you are
on your own.
You shouldn't expect quality and large quantity of food
since you are not in your father's house but in your
father's land. It is advisable you are financially prepared
to an everage extent so as to patronize those in the
mammi market especially if you are the type that is
somehow selective when it comes to food. If you are
not financially capable you can manage the food NYSC
will provide like i did too! mind you it's just for 21days.
You will be forced by the soldiers to do things you are
not used to but you have no choice than to do them, in
NYSC the common slang is "NO OPTION". Be prepared
to squat, jump, jug, run etc.
For those who are religious, not too worry, NYSC has 3
major religious groups in the orientation camp which
you can attend or if you wish you may decide not to be
part of any.
For the writers, footballers, dancers, volleyball players,
drummers, modellers etc. You will be allowed to
showcase your talents also.
One of the most important sections of the NYSC is the
lecture you must attend on daily basis. Thought in some
states if not all states, the lecture is always boring which
you might have hit your head with the next person
behind you in the same condition as you before you
realise you have slept. There is also a programme called
skills acquisition and entrepreneurship development
(SAED) which all corp members must partake in.
Don't expect a very clean toilet or bathroom since it is
not meant for a family, remember that corpers came
from different backgrounds.
You will partake in cooking in the hot kitchen and
cleaning of the orientation camp. Man 'o' war drills are
also there for you to partake in. Click here for example.
If you want to satisfy your stomach in whatever way
since you are not allowed to cook on your own, the
mammi market is opened when parades and lectures are
over every blessed day.... Continue reading here... http://bamisepeters..nl/2015/04/a-must-know-about-nysc-orientation-camp.html?m=1

He will be exempted from the rigorous activities so far he is with a medical report to back up his claim.

djcliff:

Hell no,why would a mother want her child pass a night at such environment?, besides,the DG has now barred nursing and pregnant women from partaking in the programme.

For those who will be posted to Cross river state. I must let you know these few things :
1- The camp environment is very dirty and muddy ,hostels won't be kept tidy neither will you get clean water
2- Don't expect good meals in camp unless you visit the maami market
3-Be on the look out for your items because Obubra corpers usually act funny , get a mosquito treated net along with your items and don't pack too many loads 4-Endeavor to make good friends ,inorder to make your 3weeks interesting and always be the first in attendance if any NGO show up looking for volunteers.
5- Calabar municipal ,Calabar south ,Obubra ,Ogoja and ikom are the best places to serve but good accomodation & good foods are not easy to come by unless you can pay good money. I wish you guys all the best ,I'm a 2015 Batch A corp member . Feel free to mail me if you have any question.

Op you forgot to tell them about the different püssies at their disposal.. Oh my days in Obubra camp calabar, I made sure I enjoyed myself to the fullest. Wish I could turn back the hands of time. If you want trouble, make anybody quote me talk nonsense or preach sermon for me.

my brother if money is the motive here, you won't get anything done and moreover, do you want to impact knowledge on the younger ones ,gain valuable experience working in a firm or chasing the doe round town . As a corp member so many business opportunities will emerge wherever you get posted to ,it is left for you to scout those opportunities and make money from it . States like Lagos , Akwa ibom and Osun pays better . The decision and choice is yours ,goodluck with it.

tnx for the advice. I will agree with you on not being after the money but truth be told, I really need to save cos the stipend wont be enough for me as i will want to do one or two professional course(s). And about me impacting knowledge on the younger ones, I've been doing that from time immemorial as I derive fun in helping others in all areas that I'm profecient in. All the same thanks a lot!
