But seriously the mindset of every youth corps member is to make money,no body is thinking how to serve his or her father land very well.

oga if nah you far you go dey serve make you no try make small change?

Uzoraustin:
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.

I smell lies...

Nmeri17:
While my mates got choice postings at coys in the township, my PPA was at Ivo comprehensive which was more like an IDP camp 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
.
PS: 14 of the 16 pupils were at least 3 years older than me. old ass men and women

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

bad boy but nah pple like una dey make naija bad

sonofananimal:
lolz! brother im telling you!

sundayslim:
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.

wow cool

hardychris:
The question should be how much I spent during my service year as a corps member.

I still don't know how possible it is to save money in Abuja as a corper unless you have something else doing outside the service, then I was getting almost 40k in a month from my PPA and NYSC Alawi, and I wasn't paying for house rent because I have one here but @ the end of the month nothing to show for it because everything goes to cab drivers pocket, I spend #600 everyday on transportation, and unlike other states, that #600 will be enough for more than one week and people do give corpers money or even pay for their Tfare but its not like that in Abuja.

If you are really after saving money after your service year, don't even think of coming to Abuja unless your house is a stone throw to the office, even @ that, there. Too many other things that will take the money because of cost of living.

But the advantage of serving in Abuja is that you can work in any organisation and get more experience if its related to your field of study, unlike other states where its mainly teaching.

NYSC is fun but the fun ends in camp, I wish you prsopective corpers success, the main thing is getting a good job after serving.

Meanwhile, NYSC is still owing me for 2 months since how many years now that I finished serving.

i feel your pain bro

Electronzeez:


Don't be primitive , i am establishing fact and all you could do is to chorus the flim flam a celebrity spew.

guess you think you are talking to a foolish kid hence, you desperate attempt to making a correction that is uncalled for. So dumb that one can't spot sarcasm. Smh

kamez:
served in rivers state June 2011-2012

NYSC alloweee 19k ×12 months = 237600k
state allowed 10k × 11 months =110000k

private school where I was teaching physics and further maths in ph town (woji) paid me 25k for 10months = 250000k

jamb and GCE lesson in the same private school paid me 500 daily. that's 2500 per week. for 6months = 60000k

Total= 657600k....

I saved about 400k during my service year because I was still getting other little stipends from time to time.
after service I moved to Lagos and started a DJ business with the cash.. and that kept me going for 6months till I got job in a telecoms company..




Nysc was really a blessing to me

nahso bro i dey feel you men please this would serve as a source of inspirations to many

sinistermind:
Not to Brag or anything, i made over 3m during my service...

tell us hw u did it nw?or wer u among dose yahoo guys

Rukkydelta:
Most guys spends their money on women. That's why they have nothing to account for.


Jaelz, stay away from women and it shall be well with you

If woman didn't eat your money as a man, who will then eat your money?

I follow women during service. Not even just one but about 3. I also import women from other state once in a while because I promise myself never to sleep with any of my student which I did even if some tempted me to but I resisted. if you are a corper and don't have girlfriends, you might be tempted to sleep with your student which is unethical.

Remember say konji na bastard. My state is cold like jos...


I still save up to 68k and I ve no regret about it. I still eat some female corpers money. Everything na discipline.

No state alawee, ppa paid 1k but hold us 6months. Only relied on the FG alawee.

I did HSC training, bought a new laptop screen n battery, send 1k5 to my younger brother every month. All the indigenes in my environment eat my bread, wine, malt, biscuits etc... I am not stingy.

Money come n money go... nor be evertime person dae hide money. people around you should feel the effect.

Smartsyn:
Not much in terms of cash.

But if you include girls, I was a millionaire

hehe omo abeg please abeg teach me the way oh

Toks2008:
In my own time i got N1600 allowee plus N3000 monthly salary from lever brothers making a total of about 60k a year....that was 1997.

This thread gives me a nostalgic feeling.

1997oboy u don old ooo

pejuakinab:
From Borno back to Oyo, went home with 20k only. NYSC is not an avenue to make money but to serve ur father land. Only few, I mean veru few people have reasonable savings although Fed allowee was only 9k then.

hmm oga says who dear it depends if your smartness sir

ChelseaDotCom:
I made so much money but had about 600k in my bank when I left the NYSC. I did some project that later fetched me money. Built Libary, Immunized children, gave Mosquito nets, taught computer and furnished and equip a school. All these were done as projects. A man, who was from the village where I was doing the projects and happen to be the DG of a government parastatal, heard about it and gave me 118k cos he wanted his villager to think that he sponsored it.
Also, I distributed envelopes from one markets to another to solicit funds. While doing these projects, I was also teaching at my PPA and also running about two private classes that was fetching me around 20k per month. It was very tedious for me, at a time, I stopped all the lessons in order to focus on my projects.
Lastly, a rich man who knew about my effort and picked interest in me gave me around 500k cash at the tail end of my service year. The fulfilment that I had was when a parent intercepted me on the road and was greeting me that I save her children from dying as a result of one of my project and I later won a State Award.
In all of these, I learnt that one can achieve whatever you set your mind to do. I pushed myself beyond limit and it was a testing ground for me. Your NYSC will have a meaning if you leave a positive impact .

P.S: Please, pardon my typos o, I dey sleep as I dey type now. Success!

God really favoured u....nice

I didn't touch my alawii throughout my service year,it was a conscious decision on my part,even though I did a professional course that had 3 stages,did 2 stages while serving,the first stage cost 80k,second 70k,then did one small one 20k.All this I still managed to do without touching my alawii. I had 100k savings after uni,this I saved during my uni days. I did tutorials/part-time teaching/INEC job during my service year,stayed with a relation,so all I spent was on transport,I am also a very prudent person,I believe so much in saving for rainy days...at then end I still had 120k left after service year.

3) Get myself a house.
4) Get myself another Job, but not as viable as d former.

You have just proven your first class stupeeedity once again , indeed you are a fool..ish kid . a sensible kid uses brilliant quote from the likes of Achebe , wole soyinka and not a quote from a thug like olamide.

I am done trying to make you think , you can continue airing your flip flop comment .

karmaleon:
Made close to a million or more by providing internet solutions, computer related problems and hacking modems.
I served with one of NNPC's subsidiaries. They had the money to pay! My story went across town. So I wasn't just limited to just office runz.
SSS came to my lodge on various occasions because ofthe influx of people that patronized me. They taught i was a yahoo boy. They whole runz ended immediately after my service year. Returned back to base to pursue my dream.

I smell lies... NNPC don't pay corpers more than 35k... don't come here to lie.

1million kor... state won't pay you when serving there.

You lies fat shall

Then minus the thousands you begged from that amount because I know one need @ leat 10k to survive for a month as a corper. Abi you were begging food too?
