Mattkent:


I have only one question.

How much is our allawee

Mine was 19800. Yours will probably be the same.

Daniyemi:
Darkchocolate

I don't have My school ID card.
But I have my school certificate with me. will I be sent away at the camp?

Like I said earlier...I wasn't asked for my ID but it could be different for you. Please verify with NYSC website on whether ID is important for home students. Thanks

dejt4u:
The OP is doing very well here.. Even better that most MTN customer care agents..

Keep it up..and thanks so much

I could definitely teach them a thing or two

jossy874:
pls where can a computer science student be posted for ppa?

.

A school, maybe? Goodluck!

ayorwizz:
@OP...I dunno if dis is a ryt question...buh biko indulge me
Are we to go wit all white sweaters too...coz am d typ dt gets cold easy...so I definitely wuld be needing my sweaters


Den again....must it be waist pouch...coz wot I own is a small backpack....and its actually camou #whispers...hope dose sojos no go mend my life finish

Thanks in anticipation

No sweaters...white or otherwise. You khaki jacket is there for a reason. Wear it!!!

It can be a small backpack or sling over . doesn't have to be a waist pouch. As for colour, it can be any colour however I'm not sure about the army/camoflague colour because I have heard Nigerian soldiers have a big problem with non-army personnel wearing it. But...you could argue though that nysc is a para military arm of society (and corpers may be called upon to take up arms in the event of war...bet you didn't know that...hmmm) hence it may be allowed (after all, your khaki is green)... Anyways...try your luck and let us know how it goes!!! I would genuinely want to know

Moshmustapha:
Sup, 1. Do I need my transcript

Please refer to an earlier post. I believe this has already been answered by a few people.

youngsahito:
do dey consider ur grade b4 posting u to anywhere?

No your grades are not considered.

adakoleagbenu:
More on d way....... .....typing.......

I should start charging for anyone who wishes to ask more than 5 questions.

DeNoble1:
Good morning OP. My questions are few:
1 during your time, what was the interval between the day your posting came out and the camp opening date? I want to know so as to prepare well.
2.Is the camp opening date the same thing with the orientation commencement date?
3.Does one need to present any original document in the camp? If yes which and which?
Thanks.

1. About a week

2. Orientation date is the day you officially start your registration and it will be on your call up letter and it is the day camp opens (technically some camp open the day before to allow for long distance folks but registration does not start till date on letter)

3. Please visit nysc website for the complete list of the documents you need and Yes, They all have to be originals.

the older the wine the sweeter it gets

Thanks for completing it for me.

Meklex:
..... The better it tastes, me sef like 'em vintage.
My name na Meklex, I am still myself and I like you,, talk your own

Awwww.... How lovely ...

toyomars:
How can one scale through is such a person does not have a residential permit from the country he/she schooled in? It's a requirement one must meet when filling the online form

It is either you have a residential permit, are a citizen (dual) or have a student visa... Anyone of these will suffice. Abi did you sneak yourself in on a plane booth? . Goodluck

jaybiz007:
Good job op. I have some few questions to ask though.
1. If posted to a tertiary institution (first class), can the university provide accommodation for such corp member?
2. Is it possible to reject a posting for a better offer in a private firm.
3. Lastly, how viable do you think Abuja is for an engineering graduate?
Thanks in anticipation.

1. I really don't know. I guess it will depend on the institution

2. You don't reject posting...the place you are posted to rejects you. I hope that makes sense. So you may ask them to reject you and see if they oblige. If they do, you can do to nysc secretariat with your letter of request from new company and letter of rejection from old company and see if nysc will post you to the new company. Can be a lot of hassle. Some people just come to some sort of arrangement with the old company and still work at the new place. disclaimer: always do what is legal by nysc standards. Don't come and say "DC told you so"

3. I have no clue. If you want to be in engineering, you should probably be aiming for states with a lot of engineering companies. I doubt Abuja is one of them.

freegaza:
1. Is there a place to watch football/Movies(say a cinema )? 2. I studied Agric. can i be still posted to a school? Am an introvert i don't like been in a crowd

You don't like crowds Are you sure NySc camp is for you?

In Lagos camp, they did set up a television that plays the football (if in season) or a movie every now and again...I can't remember if it was every night though so I didn't watch it.

With Agric you could be posted anywhere...but default is always a school so assume you be been posted to a school as a worse case scenario (not really worse case for some people though cow they love teaching).

Chomzy19:
oh thanks. Did nt know there were atm machines there.

In Lagos there is...don't know about others though

Meklex:

Well... The older the wine, the ... Bla bla bla (Can't remember the rest but I'm sure you know it)

SlickM:

LOL... I like your sense of humour

ezybaba:
With d Statement of result u can go on with your nysc registration in camp. In my school we would be given our statement of result early this month becos of nysc. certificate will be issue to us after our convocation with is next year.

Thanks for clarifying that lagusta...hope this helps!

Chomzy19:
Nice thing u re doing 4 us. My q's are (1) how exactly do one join this OBS team, any qualificatns needed?
(2) when exactly is that first allawee paid? When we enter camp or towards the ending? Lemme know hw much to carry

1. OBS is one of the popular most sort after groups and getting into it can be tough. Are you an engineer, DJ, or have any other technical skills that can benefit them? Your entry might be easy... If not, you might have to compete for a place (re the announcers, editors, etc)... It depends on your camp really. I know we had to do writing essay competitions for those who wanted to get into our Lagos obs...we had over 100 applicants!

2. 2nd week, I believe! Depends on your camp too. So have enough to see you through the 3rd week in case it isn't paid till then. Besides, most camps have portable ATM machines. You can always withdraw money if you are running short!

Lagusta:
Another question....

Does nysc allow statement of result without certificate??

Because a friend of mine has only statement, the school refused to give her certificate....

Hope she won't be decamped...

I believe you will need your certificate to register. That is what shows you are a graduate after all and eligible for nysc!!! You friend needs to get her certificate. I don't know if they will even let her sign up without it. They might admit her temporarily on the condition that she presents her certificate by the end of the first registration week. (You have to be sworn in as a nysc-ite to be decamped though...so can't get decamped if you aren't registered in the first place). She should really get her institution to release it or find out why they are not ...and make efforts to remedy the situation. Goodluck

Meklex:
lol, I said car una don start envisioning range rover sports and bugatti.. Na Mitsubishi bus(L300) I meant o... so that I can use am do quick business to transfer corps members to their various ppa's....

Feel free to ask someone to bring the car for you on last day of camp...they wait for you outside, you get your things and begin transporting. But how many people will you fit inside the car though with their luggages? Goodluck sha...good business idea

adakoleagbenu:
Hi Darkchocolate. Hv a couple of questions. 1. Must d white sneakers be pure white? Az in no single logo? 2. My skool collects our I.D card b4 issuing certificates and don't give any temporary I.d. And some camps ask for I.D. With certificate and other documents are we good? 3. Does the class of degree (aside first class) determine PPA? 4. I have a degree in Geology and Mining and chose Enugu,Akwa Ibom and Lagos. Can u guess a likely PPA? 5. I'm into theatre. So will drama troupe be ideal? 6,Can I take beverages like Milk,Milo,Flakes etc to camp? 7. Will reporting early,like a day to camp be allowed? And will it ease registration stress? 8. How lively is the drama troupe in and after camp? 9. Your lips are lovely. U get any single friend for me?

1. Sneaker should be pure white to avoid any hassle. If logo'ed, then make sure the logo is quite small...like the small Nike ticks

2. I would advise you to photocopy your school Id before it is collected (I would even go as far as getting it certified...i.e. Getting a top lecturer or dean or something to sign on the copy to say that it is a true rep of the original and stamp...but that s me being geeky and extra). If you are still able to please enquire with your school on what to do regarding the ID issue when it comes to nysc. I was not asked for my ID card though (I think it might be slightly different for foreign grads.)

3. No. Your degree class does not affect your PPA.

4. I cannot honestly guess. You might be posted to any one of these...education, rural infracstructure, agriculture or health. So you could get ministry of mining (if there is anything like that) or you could get teaching...because with your course, there are a lot of subjects you can teach!

5. Yes, try to join the social/drama group in camp.

6. You can indeed. You can't take anything in a bottle or breakable container though. Make sure anysuch things are transferred to a plastic counterpart.

7. Yes it is. I reported early to Lagos camp...even though I lived in Lagos. I just wanted to avoid all the stress especially as I was not used to the country at the time. We were given our bunks that day and it was nice to make friends before all the headache starts.

8. I wasn't in the drama group so can't say how they were after camp. We had some lovely plays and dance competitions and Mr Macho and Miss NySC things though. Competitions between the platoons can be very fierce.

9. Finish nysc first before looking for a single girl...besides, plenty of choices in camp for you.

oluwaisaac:
My dear...what you do on this platform with your time pleases me. It's commendable. Infact, you have found favour in my eyes. One more question though, are head phones allowed??

I believe headphones are allowed. I wouldn't advice you to go with your 'BeatsbyDre' though. . Remember if it is expensive and doesn't fit in your waist pouch, don't bother going with it!

Meklex:
Can I come with my car?

Only car? Come with your private jet joor. The land is spacious enough for landing!

Lagusta:


You shaa wan tell everybody say u get car....

Congrats....

Asiinnnn...don't mind him... I think you should come with your private jet.

walad4yhu:
Are we to open a new bank account for our allowee?

and if yes...what bank would u recommend?

Don't worry yourself about this at all.

You will receive your 1st allowance whilst in camp ...cash lump sum. It is up to you what you do with that. After that, a list will come out with everyone s details and exactly which bank and branch to open an account with. Yes, NYSC likes to be in serious control! . They also do it this way so that individual banks are not bombarded with just nysc. I think they have a contract with 3 or 4 banks and all nysc accounts will be in those banks spread out throughout their branches in the state to mutually benefit each branch.

So bother not yourself with that. When the time comes, get the details of where your designated bank and branch is...after camp (and after sorting out your PPA) take a trip to the bank in question with your documents and voila!

Lagusta:
Nice work you're doing here.....

I heard doctors are treated differently in camp, how true is that, and how "different" are they really treated??

By the way, nice kissable lips!!!

Thanks for the compliment

Doctors are treated differently in the sense that they are left alone by soldiers ...so they get to avoid most PT and marching and any other activity they can avoid. No different to how they would treat you if you were in the OBS for example. These people always have an excuse of being 'on duty' and with their 'badge', they can get away with just sitting around really or getting into places others can't! I should know, I was in OBS ... Doctors and medical team are sneaky though...they will all be forming 'on duty' yet be sleeping in their wards or something!!!

SlickM:
How does one go about washing in camp since clothes get stolen? thanks

Your clothes will hardly get stolen. Lol...only a sad person would steal white shorts and white shirts...but never say never

Use a permanent marker and write your number on the label and/or infold of the cloth, cap, shoes...in fact...do that for all of your belongings (ones you can afford to...don't go and write it on your clean iphone 6s oooo )

The folks at mammi market will also write your number for you on your cloths (that is the only way they can differentiate yours from others)...

Once your number and name (if you have enough room) is on your items, it will hardly be stolen and you can wash away. Nobody will want to be caught wearing something that clearly isn't theirs...you will be decamped most likely.

P.s. Go with a few cheap cloths pegs if you plan on washing yourself. That way you can minimise your cloths falling to the dirty ground after you have suffered to wash it.

Sunnystooth:

Lolz, thanks for the info though... Actually it's not like i plan to use the laptop in camp or charge it or something, i just want to know how to deal with the situation incase i'm posted to a far State.
Thanks a lot for your response. I really appreciate.

You are very welcome

Sunnystooth:
I did'nt read previous comments incase someone has asked this question... Ehmm, can i take my laptop to camp, incase i'm posted to a faraway state from mine and i dont plan to come back immediately after camp?

Sorry but you can't. You can try though...they will probably search you at the gate and they will probably find it and seize it (for "safekeeping" ) for you to collect it back at the end of camp. If you can risk that then go for it. ...I do t think the 'safe' in that word means anything to them...they probably won't even tell you that you can collect it sef. You know these soldiers and police people and their wahala so just jejjely avoid them.


Even if you do sneak it in, where will you leave it? Padlocked boxes can be cut open if the theif is really determined and knows there is a valuable laptop on the bag. As a rule of thumb, don't take any valuables you can't fit into your waste pouch.

No electronics are allowed. Cameras, iPads, irons, electric gas, laptops, ext cables...(how will you plug your laptop without an ext cable though).

You can always get a relative to courier the laptop over via ABC or something 2 to 3 days before camp wraps up. That way, you can go pick it up after camp and take it to your temp. Accommodation. You can thank me later for the idea!

I hope this helps
