Mine was very interesting!

At first I was a little scared because of uncertainties surrounding NYSC PPA posting.

But thank God, the service year ended with so much money in my account, great working and community service experiences. I'm now gainfully employed.

Glory be to God!!!
how much? Simple

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.

I had about 30k after Service... I basically saved nothing....

Do I regret? Hell No

I spent almost everything I got taking trainings and getting certified. I took several 32hours round trips to PH for trainings... 12hour trips to Abuja for trainings too.... I even had to pay my L.i my whole allowee for 4months just cos I missed clearance while going on trainings... I didn't participate in the inec ish too cos of trainings. I got no state allowee, no extra allowee from anywhere, no ppa allowee, no stipends from home too... I made about 200k though from training others but I still spent all on getting even more trainings...
But I love that one year die... You can save a lot if you're prudent

While my mates got choice postings at coys in the township, my PPA was at Ivo comprehensive which was more like an IDP camp sad I became the benefactor/grand patron/ foster father of the 16 pupils in the school and ergo was concerned with their school fees and used the change to take cholera and diarrhoea pills cry
.
PS: 14 of the 16 pupils were at least 3 years older than me. old ass men and women angry

Brothers and sisters, on the day of my passing out, I used my last N100 to buy them sweets and left for the bus park dabbing my tears with the N35 I had leftover after my meritorious service to the nation embarassed

I made about 300k during my service year. I was posted to a sec sch (BJSS Beletiema, Brass L.G.A, Bayelsa) that operates from 1pm to 6pm. So i decided to take a teaching job at a private sch. My period is scheduled from 8am to 11am, the pay is 10k. I also have an adult home lesson from 11:30am to 1:30pm, the pay is 6k. Then i'll proceed to my PPA and my period there is between 2pm to 4pm. Then i'll proceed to another home lesson from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, the pay was 6k. So i virtually earn 19.8k + 10k+6k+6k=41,800 monthly. It was not easy o, but God was my strength.
Nna, you were a hustling machine back then, quite informative and inspiring..

I had cultivated the habit of saving before nysc from the lil job I did....so it wasn't so difficult to continue.

Saved the entire govt alawee (12months) including d one at camp..lol

PPA paid 25k in cash regularly so twas quite difficult not pinching from it.. but I made sure to save from it as well.. and them some side commissions on d job too..eventually had about 300k saved up from nysc , with which I registered for ican and took exams and started m.sc..

I served in Akwa-Ibom in 2005, I made some cool cash as a corper because I had been an entrepreneur before my youth service. When I was a student, I had a popcorn business in the school and it fetches me between 1500-2000 naira daily. As a result, when I got to Akwa-Ibom the first thing I did was to identify a product or resources they have in abundance. I discovered they have Oil(both Crude and palm-oil), they also have human resources (domestic servants/maids), they have the largest crayfish market in Africa, they equally have plenty of beautiful girls/ladies ready for marriage.
I opted for the Oil and Crayfish business because it could be exported without me accompanying the goods to Lagos. Whenever I collect my allowance I saved part of it to buy crayfish at Ibaka market while the indigenes in my village supplies me 25 liters keg of palm-oil. I made so much from this business. The second business I will continue here www.hollalaycan.com. I made money in about 6 ways in my service year
