I'd like to welcome the new Batch B to 'our' thread.
Please go over the thread as answers to your questions are already answered. I'm very sure of that.

Once again welcome to Katsina.

People still dey o. This is a family. I want to believe they're still trying to settle down after the 'stress' of service and travelling.
this house should be a going concern, ideas on job creation and other openings should be shared, marriage IV should be extended, partnership etc.
I'll finally be leaving my PPA by next week after my NIM exams.
Wishing you guys the very best in your hustles.

Carefully thread from now on. The first (hopefully the last)bomb blast has been reported in our peaceful katsina. If possible be indoors only.

Gombs: Today is 17th..may has 31days
Therefore, 31-17=14 days plus 5 days befor d-day
=19 days
Yesterday I wrote 19 days cos I dinnt count it too, cos we were in it already

Oboy! See as I dey teach you primary sch math

BTW, I wrote and passed Diamond Bank's aptitude test on 12/5/13...firstbank wnt discharge cert number, evn tho they made provision for 'NYSC' Status...and CGPA toohuhlike universities gave us transcripts too...I bone dose guys sha

Aw your ppa na? My princo gave us our 3wks leave yday...I just dey awz since yday
Primary school maths? If you're not counting today (the first day) you must count the last day (6th). That's primary school maths.
You cannot have 19 yesterday and 19 again today.
31-17=14 and 14+6=20. I don't think I want to continue this primary school maths debate.

About the fitstbank tingy, the column for cgpa is not compulsory. For the discharge certificate, one can "put something" when its time for interview and credential verification I'm sure U would have gotten the original certificate then.
I've been on leave since end of last term. Doing some test and some other jobs.

Gombs: My calendar says 19days to d-day...don't knw abt urs sha
Okay, but we have 15 days till the end of this month and 6 days till the d-day. How is 15+6=19?

If U still think its 19, I rest my case. No wahala.

Meanwhile, firstbank is recruiting.

oweniwe: 2.1 no be second class lower again? Anyway, if it is only 1st class and 2nd class upper that they want, then they should simply put up a notice that only 1st class and 2nd class upper can apply instead of wasting people's time
2.1 is second class upper
2.2 is second class lower

mykejones: Hehehe
This guys..well, I have told u sha.

So, I've got an idea, just incase anyone here wants to create a thread for congratulatory messages due us on our POP.

"Pioneer Set(Members), Nairaland's NYSC Family House Passes Out Today"

What do you guys think??
Good idea, this should start like 10 days to pop. And again I think you or Loskee can start it.
NYSCRe: Nysc Batch B 2012 (the Big House) by contra(m): 3:36pm On May 12, 2013
Loskee: Abeg we dey ask when we go start leave. U suppose talk that one first nah!
Excuse me! This so-called leave after POP... Na lie o! After passing out u r no longer a corper nah, so where is the fun in the leave? Far as I'm concerned my own leave is three weeks to POP. Which of course starts may 14. Am out!
Madam, my leave started since April. I'll remain on leave till after Pop. I don't have time for long things. I didn't bother asking for it. If they no give you leave, create it for yourself.

Meanwhile, 25 days 20 hours.

Bigdreams: Thanks for this post. I have begun action as you advised. Could you please tell me what exact business you did, challenges and how you overcame? Waiting to tap from your wealth of experience. Thanks once again.
you welcome. I am an A.C.A, the first contact I made was with professional colleagues. I thought about this while I was still in camp. I saw their flyers and posters. Immediately I left camp I made the connection and I started lecturing with them when I came back from my one month leave.
The other connection I made was through a batch C corps member i assisted. The contact has a computer computers hook. On our first contact, I informed him of my qualifications, there and then he asked me to come lecture in his computer school.
The last thing i did was the one on one computer appreciation training i did for corpers. I charged from 5k, depending on the application they wanted to learn.

Bigdreams: Hi Contra,

Thanks for your help always.

I need good internet connection in Funtua. I discovered that the GSM network providers display EDGE.

Meanwhile, as a webdesigner and internet research person, I need to have good internet access.

What are the probable solutions available to me?

I also want to engage in training of people (MS Office, Webdesign, BULK SMS and other internet related businesses I presently do). How do I go about it? Is there anyone you could link me up with to help me out?

Thanks as I await your response.
Hey Bigdream, that's a good plan you've there. I for one have come to understand that your number one customer in katsina are Corps members. That's your primary target market. Secondly, get to meet someone who is already doing something close to your idea (trust me, someone is already doing something close).
This person could either be an indigen or non-indigen. The person will open another market for you. If possible you can partner with him/her.
This is how I have operated this one year. It works.

Take it only if it will add value to your career path and cover at least your transportation and lunch. You also need the time to scout for another one.
