Chriswazo:
you are very right about Gombe, i should have put that state instead of my 2nd north Kadunna but i don't want anything that will jeopardize the chances of my first choice. My brother pleaded with me to choose their instead of Plateau sef but am very sure that i will be visiting their cos i influenced my close guy to put there as his first choice.

That was thoughtful bro. I hope we get our heart desires, and for those that wont may God give us the understanding to accept fate and make things easy for us. Aamin.

Jamie1:
You are right.

My Ideology about North changed when I got admission into Futminna, since then it's always Ben North.


Though atimes they go bananas, which is really sad.

you are right bro. But dont everyone go bananas sometimes??

sparkle4u:
At least you were there. Which state did you dream of.?

Gombe is a great state for service and its actually one of my choices. It is probably the fastest growing state in the north now - development wise and even economy. And one of the most peaceful in the north east along with bauchi. All this people with there crucification of north self I no understand. See you can make your service year wherever you are the best you can have, but it depends on you. Someone can have it literaly worthless in lagos and bountiful in sokoto.
All these negative orientation are baseless and are coming from people who all they know about north is what they got from the media. I hope you get a state that will make your service year worth it. But let go of them say and be hopeful as you pray for the best.

Reminder
You are on this page probably because you have been Mobilized by NYSC, a prospective corper or better still a parent who is helping out his/her child source for necessary information as regards NYSC camp requirements. I'm going keep it precise but detailed so you don't have to run around the internet searching for more information.

Now there's a huge excitement in your heart that you are going to serve your father land, that's obviously amazing. However, it will be really sad and shattering if you got to camp and you are being sent back because you don't have some required items for registration.

Now follow me closely as i list all you will need for registration and also to make your stay fun..

OFFICIAL NYSC CAMP REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS:

1. Call Up Letter:
This is a vital part of camp registration and the only evidence that you are a prospective corps member (colloq. Corper, or Otondo) and you are not impersonating anyone. This will be taken from and not returned to you. So if at all you even forget you luggage (lol) never forget this.

Tip: DO NOT LAMINATE IT! And keep it like its your life. I know someone who was sent back because she forgot hers. Also someone who had to beg and beg before his letter was collected because he laminated his own copy. So please avoid all these stress and make enough copies of this letter.

2. Registration Documents:
Foreign graduates should take along important registration documents used in registering at Abuja.

3. Final Year Student Identity CARD
Tip: If you've been issued your Certificate (not statement of result), there won't be need for this.

4. Notification/Statement of Result from School

5. Passport Photos:
This is very important. Take as many as you can, about 5-10 at most. You would need them at every registration point mostly. Then those of you who would likely redeploy or join one group or the other in camp, you would need more than others.

6. Photocopies Of Your Documents: Now make about 5-10 copies of every document required. There would be photocopiers in camp at mammy market but trust me, it is double the price and it saves time.

Tip: The forms that will be handed to you are very easy to fill. Attach your passport where necessary and fill them correctly. After your registration, you will be issued with your State Code Number. This will be like your PIN throughout your Service Year.

7. Certificates/Licences: For Doctors, Pharmacists, Nurses & Lab Scientists, take along your proof of certification.

8. Stationery: Pen, Paper, Gum, Stapler, Tippex: Yeah this saves time and lots of unnecessary begging.

Tip: Some camps do seize staplers at the gate during check-in. So do not forget to include pins in your stapler if you are taking that along.

Tip: After getting your NYSC State Code Number, you can proceed to claim your NYSC Kit and Mattress after which you can proceed to get a Room. After you have gotten your kit and secured a place in the hostels, you can settle down and you are good to go to start the Military parades.

Now, Your NYSC kit should contain 1 NYSC Crested Vest, A pair of Khaki Trousers, Cap and Jacket, 2 White T-shirts, 2 Pairs of Knickers, 2 pairs of green-stripped Stockings, A Pair of Orange Jungle Boots and One Pair of White Converse. A “Belt” is also included.

YOUR DAILY NEEDS:

9. Round-necked white T-shirts: This is an essential outfit in camp in fact in most camps this is the only allowed cloth to be worn throughout your 3 weeks. Even to church, you might not be allowed to wear colored cloths. You would be given 2 pairs of white t-shirts at camp to just fulfill all righteousness which surely would never be your size especially our very slim and small otondo in size . So you can bring extra pairs (6). Why? Because you probably wont have time to wash during the week after being stressed out from the parades and Man-O-War drills.

Tip: Do not carry more than 2 pairs of colored clothes because you wont need it.
10. White Shorts: I beg you please do bring yours. you would also be given 2 pairs of shorts which are really poor in material. They tear easily and it can be annoying. So my dear Otondos bring like 4 pairs of shorts. Trust me also you wont like to wash everyday, so bring enough to last you like 3 days so that you wont be stranded.

11. Plain White Sneakers/Tennis Shoes: This is a very important outfit. you would also be given an ugly pair of low quality white tennis shoes customized for NYSC. It’s either you are not given your size although you can find someone with your size and swap. But after the first wash it starts tearing. So just buy yours (white). They also sell this in camp, so in case you are not able to get you could buy in camp just carry extra cash for that because the price would be higher – as with everything in Mammy – because they know you have no choice than to buy. Now, If you happen to camp during the rainy season (Batch ‘B’ & ‘C’), get white rubber sneakers/boots especially if you’re posted to the Southern part of the country . The parade fields/mammy market might be messed up after the rains. You will get this in camp.

12. White Socks: Just get extra pairs.

13. Mosquito Treated Net: You would do not want to fall sick in camp from malaria. Just bring yours. Also bring ropes you would use to hang it. I also used mine as a room to protect my box and properties from thieves and also from some insects and ants.

14. Basic Drugs: Like Panadol or paracetamol, medicine for your allergies, menstrual pain relief drug, nausea relief drugs, antibiotics e.t.c. The camp clinic is sometimes inadequately stocked with drugs so help yourself.

15. Padlocks: (BRING or BUY from Mammy) Please lock your boxes and bags to avoid regrets and tears. I know someone who lost more than 5 items including his two phones – like he’s the only one in camp.

16. Waist Pouch: /Fanny pack/Bum bag (or for the more fashion-conscious, a cross-body purse).The bum bags are more popular because they won’t bang against you when you’re active and your hands are free to do whatever. You need it to carry your money, phone, small valuables, pens, etc around with you at all times. You should sleep with it too.

17. Beverage: The camp will supply u with “Tea-water” so you can make tea when u need to!

18. Dettol Or Any Disinfectant: This is very, very essential. Firstly the bathrooms can be very annoying and dirty and more importantly, you would not like to have infection from camp. Bad idea. Depending on your camp, the water can be dirty. Most people always have reaction to it.

19. Detergent: (BUY from Mammy) Again, this reduces the amount of load you’re bringing into camp. However, if you’re lucky the mammy market will have vendors offering laundry services! It costs about N50 per item, N100 for your khaki trousers or shirt, extra N50 if you want your items pressed.

Tip: The Bucket: Buy this in Mammy. Don’t stress yourself taking one to Camp, which you’re probably going to leave behind after 3 weeks.

Toiletries: Toilet Paper, Sanitary Pad, soap dish etc. BUY in Mammy.

20. Towels

21. A Pair Of Slippers: (BRING or BUY)

22. Bed sheets, Pillow Cases and A Pillow: You could also get pillow from mammy market to reduce load.

Tip: Mattresses will be provided by NYSC. It is best to “double up” with the mattresses, as they are about 1 to 2 inches thick. Lol.

23. Handkerchiefs: There will be BUCKETS of sweating. Do yourself a favor.

24. Flashlight Or Rechargeable Lamps: (BRING or BUY) Most camps, or in fact, all camps do not give light except at a specific time of the day. It’s very essential especially at night when you need to use the bathroom, early in the morning when preparing for morning drills and meditations and at night in case you need to do anything. At the mammy market, there is always light till they close, usually 10pm except on days like the Camp Fire Night. You can charge them there at a little fee.

Tip: You will be fed three times a day in camp but I must not not lie to you, the food there is nothing to write home about. They can be nice on few occasions like Sundays, but most days, they are poor. If you are someone who loves to eat good food, make provisions for your own food. You should get some fast foods along, some breakfast cereals and beverages. You should also hold extra cash to eat at the Mammy market. You will get good meals there.

25. Plate And Cup: (BRING or BUY) For eating. Important for those who intend on eating Camp food.

26. Some Form Of Entertainment: Novels – for those who get bored easily, please carry some. And for guys PSP or chess. also iPod your and MP3 players for audiophiles.

27. Your Ray-Ban Sunglasses For The Sun. And if you can’t afford that, get a Ray-Bon. lol

28. Get Extra Phone Batter(ies) And Extra Network SIMs. Some network are not available at some camps in remote locations far from towns. Once you get your call-up letter, you can find out which network has the best reception at your destination camp. If you need data access, find out if that available also. Instagramers and keekers, if you get EDGE thank your stars.

29. Cash: Extremely important. You would need about N15,000. Then between N20,000 – N30,000 to be ‘just’ comfortable. For those that can manage, say, N10,000 – N15,000. There are lots of things that take up money. Things like food (for those who don’t intend eating camp food), drinks, recharge cards, charging of phones, laundry, pleasures e.t.c

Tip: You wont be allowed to leave camp. So do not be stranded, trust me it’s not a good idea. Just budget 1000 per day. You could take your ATM card along, incase. (This might sound counter-intuitive since there might not be any ATM in camp and you are not allowed to leave camp. But figure it out…)

You can keep you extra cash with the Accounts Department (as the case was in my camp) while some shops offer POS services, you still have access to extra cash whenever you need it.

If you have a camera you can take it along because you will want to snap a lot of scenes. If you have a Smartphone with great camera, that’s good for you because you can easily take and share photos on social networks.

Tip: If you don’t have any of those, you will have to pay some guys on camp who do that as business to follow you around and snap you wherever you go. They might charge up to N2,000 for the duration of the camping. They should give you all your photos and videos in DVDs at the end of Camping. Or you could wait till the last day of leaving camp and snap at a cheaper rate.

This is all i have to share with you today. whatever your heart tells you to pick along, please do... lol.

Thanks for reading, feel free to share

[quote author=sparkle4u post=56045909][/quote]lol you must not be eating for 1hour 20minutes, you can quickly use that time I guess.

i dod that but it didn't work... This is the mail Remita sent to me
Please be advised that the specified transaction was duly processed via RRR 3401-6072-0982 to NYSC on the system.
You may forward the complaint you have to NYSC for appropriate review and resolution on the details provided below:
Email Contact: nyscsupport@nysc.gov.ng, nyscsupport@sidmach.com

I have the same mail at first, but the problemost is what the transaction ID linked with the RRR. Send them a snapshot of what the transaction ID is reporting or you can as well be patient and see what happens by the end of today.

tosins:
yes ooo Buh pls the year I started sch is 0,hope that is not an issue

You can always try reprinting on a later time and see. For the issue I think it's better you draw attention of someone with experience Dream2 ufodunenye?? Or anyone else. Though that seem so inconsequential that they may hardly notice or write off when they do.

tosins:
I just log in now and I discover that the payment is successful thanks so much I really appreciate

congrats bro. Now you can relax

tosins:
fail(used) when I click on get status on the slip the payment status is fail( invalid user authentication)

Alright first do you have an email confirmation from remita for a successful payment? If not go to remita.net click on electronic payment and input your RRR, it should show you the details of the payment, so snapshot the page.
Secondly snapshot where your transaction id is saying fail (used) and also snapshot the reply you get when you click get status, which for your own is invalid user authentication.
Finally go to your email, compose a Remita payment confirmation problem message, tell them your problem and attach those three snapshots and send to support@remita.net and am sure your problem should be looked into and replied to by tomorrow. Goodluck.

tosins:
Pls how can u help me I have pay online since monday afternoon tru Internet banking and it's yet to reflect on ma dashboard

when you click on the payment status, what does it show you?

toogbasky:
Chai, I just remember ooooo, Real Madrid vs Juventus final

Barca fans wont be happy

Finally my payment has been confirmed after been so impatient since I paid on tuesday morning. So relieved.
After various message to nysc, diamond bank, sidmach technology, I finally approached the right channel. Just send your problem to remita support and send them a snapshot of your transaction id and what it is reporting after you click on get status and also a snapshot of the remita RRR of payment successful. I send them mine in the last 2hours and I just got a reply that my issue is solved. And gbam when I went back to my portal no more make payment or fail (used) or internal error id again, so I proceed to print my greencard.

Firstgentleman1:
Thank God, mine has come up at last. Try to print the slip, then go back to check the payment status. It will be rectified then. Goodluck bro

Thanks bro I will try that. Congrats though, I guess you need it, cause this stuff is frustrating at best.

Firstgentleman1:
Hello everyone. Please I need all the help and suggestions I can garner. I paid for my call up letter in a UBA branch yesterday, I actually went with my friend as he also paid for his too. We went back to checking our dashboards and also querying our payments. We got a feedback of a payment that is processing.
Fastforward to about 4 hours later, my friend's dashboard displayed his call up number, which is evident of a successful payment. Mine was however yet to display same. I knew I had to exercise patience, so I waited. I later decided to query my payment and got a feedback that read : fail(used). Meanwhile, my friend's own displayed: success(used).
Now, I was in the bank to complain this morning and they said the fault is not from them, neither is it from remitta. I don't know the next step to take, that's why I have brought this issue before you all. Please, come to my aid. It's been more than 24 hours now that I have made the payment.

exactly the same problem am facing, please don't forget to draw my attention when you solve yours and I too will do the same.

I try to check my payment status and am seeing a tab to chat with nysc online. Who else have seen that?

henro4niger:
Please house I need urgent help. I was trying to complete the payment for my sister in the afternoon but after so many trials it did not work. I checked it this evening and I am seeing like 10s of 3039.53. Should I pay anyone of them help.

Bro, have you paid?? If yes was it okay?. Am facing same problem.

Eghosagraviti:
It has to be Lagos,Abuja,Ogun,Oyo,Kaduna and maybe Enugu in that order.

Lagos, Abuja, Ogun, Akwa Ibom and Kaduna in that order.

Apart from Lag and Abuja, a whole lot of people seem to go for Ogun and Akwa Ibom.

uzowulu8:
