To refresh our memories here are some tips again
Quick Tips And Advice For Youth Corpers Before Leaving For Orientation Camp
1. There are washer men and women available at your disposal for mostly the Aje-butter children and those who do not want to stress themselves. I can proudly say I used them. Registration stops 12 midnight preceding swearing –in day.
2. Never forget to wear your cap
3. You would be given your meal ticket. Never misplace it. I actually never used mine till end of camp.
4. I never knew what otondos meant ==MUMU
5. Adjustment of clothes: You definitely have to adjust your khaki given, no one escapes this. Make sure you do this on time and also make sure you follow those tailors up if not you would be given flimsy excuses. Ensure you negotiate price for adjustment very well. They think you have money to waste.
6. You would meet different types of human beings the crazy, spoilt, razz, dirty, complicated, silly, holy, party, drunk, beautiful, ugly, different tribes etc. Be open-minded and smile at someone. New friends! The truth of the matter is, you shouldn't go through camp alone.
7. Read your call up letter thoroughly both back and front
8. Just have enough t-shirts and shorts to wear throughout the week because some camps, the activities are time consuming leaving little or no time for you during the week till weekend.
9. You will be fed three times a day in camp, but the food is barely edible. The kitchen is run by incredibly hard working women who are assisted by fellow otondos from different platoons assigned to the kitchen for each meal.
10. If you are someone who loves to eat good food, or you don’t want to have the mammy feel, no problem just come loaded to camp with provisions. Like cereals and beverages, garri, biscuits etc. You should also hold extra cash to eat at the Mammy market, you will get good food there and won’t spend much to eat well, and the price however depends on the state to which you have been posted.
11. There are places available where you can charge your batteries at the camp market.
12. Always fetch water down for the next morning. You can be shocked that water supply might finish before it gets to your turn and that’s the end for you .As for drinking water you either bought pure water or bottled water; there was no free drinking water whatsoever.
13. Ladies try not to go with heavy or synthetic hair to avoid excess heat and time to care for it. You could advisable make short hair to avoid heat and save time, I did a short hair which lasted me three weeks, braids is also advisable, don’t do lace wig or even fringe.
14. Pocket Money: The question is “How much money do you really need for the NYSC Orientation Course, you will be paid a N1, 500 allowance once you arrive the NYSC camp and also another one (first ALLAWI) after 3 to 4 days on camp. if you intend to drink and hang out at the Mami market, then you can take more money depending on how much you can finish, be wise though!
15. Just be prepared to wait in line for EVERYTHING
16. The bathrooms and toilets are nothing to write home about. It is always dirty and terrible in fact if not careful disease could be contacted. Well some ladies don’t know about guys, had buckets for the sole purpose of relieving themselves with what I can call 'pit bucket'
17. Do not dare the soldiers, some can be ruthless and you know they have authority to deal with you in name of discipline.
18. Always switch your phones off or put them on silent while on parade ground. Just don’t bring it out, it could be seized and destroyed not minding if it’s a blackberry z10.
19. The accommodation was something else. Rooms were jam-packed with little or no space to pass and walk freely. I had up to 60 roommates if not more. It was always stuffy, dirty and ventilation was poor.
20. There are fellowships for Christians and Muslims. The 3 recognized associations are NCCF (NIGERIAN CHRISTAIN CORPERS FELLOWHIP), NACC (ANGLICAN) and MCAN (MUSLIM CORPERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA). But there were others like Redeemed, Winners, catholic, Christ embassy and deeper life. So you could make your choice. Also they have morning devotions and weekly service.
Overall, the NYSC camp was fun and I met a lot of people and I can say it was worth it was well worth it. It is an experience every Nigerian should have.
I will be here waiting to see you again with your comments and experiences on camp.
Till then wishing you a successful NYSC YEAR .may you all go and come in peace and not in pieces.

Thavybe:
Mrsmith007 DrObum much appreciated, thanks. Uhm, what about camping activities? And lastly is there anything one can do or a group to join to influence his PPA posting?

@ottalo what batch were you?

I just left camp about 5 months ago...and kubwa camp ain't that bad...it's actually fun. Constant light, friendly staff and very little cases of theft.

PPA can be influenced from camp... That's talking from experience... So just do normal and partake in whatever you love doing. OBS, red Cross, band, parade, nacc, nccf, mcan, parade, platoon exco, logistics, lectures, anything....you can always influence ur ppa...so be wise

When coming tomorrow... Power banks, coolers, padlock, headphone, toiletries, bucket, etc..can't remember others....

Safe journey to y'all
Welcome to the capital city..!

Congrats Abuja Otondos...
make sure you get to camp very early so you get into good hostels (the hostels across the parade ground).

if you have enough passport photos,8-10, (red or white background) no need to take anymore in camp...dont let those photographers deceive you or talk you into taking more passport photos.

we had few theft cases but use permanent markers to mark your items for easy identification.

i went in with extension and stapler and staple pins...they were very useful to me and those around me. (just put them under your clothes or the lower part of your box...just make sure its hidden).

you cant have too many white tshirts...i still use them... i had 6 plus the one given to us, making it 7. i went to camp with my bucket, detergent, starch, bleach(hypo) but i was involved in a lot of activities i was usually very tired or didnt have the time to wash my clothes...no be ajebo matter...we had people who washed and ironed clothes too (N50/item, wash and iron), twas really helpful cos it took away the burden of washing, keeping an eye on your washed clothes and then bothering about wearing rumpled clothes.

please try not to bother so much about abuja accommodation, fuel scarcity in abuja, salary from your PPA, and other issues you can do little or nothing about...just be active and involved in camp and platoon activities. make friends. have fun. Theres no hurry in life...you will have all the time you want after you leave camp, so enjoy all the time you have in camp.

I m wishing you guys all the best.

Okey - 07033905291. call or whatsapp.
