Theben: You guys should look at the bright side, they are saving the money for us.

fleps: Wel, after research, i've made a choice which is stil subject to change! A MultiLinks Internet Modem is what best suits me 4 now. Unlimited data usage, 50 hours monthly for 3,400 naira! I tink i can put up with dat! Bt am stil trying to find out the strength of their network (if any sef) in Sapele, Delta state. Thanks people!

Hmmm! MultiLinks no be am o o! Am going for a normal modem, unlock it, n browse all network wit it! Now between MTN, AIRTEL, ETISALAT, and GLO, plz wich is the cheapest to purchase (nt recharging expenses bt just to buy).

flairlady: this is serious.do u knw if it is possible to have an agrement wit the skul u were posted to so u culd wrk sumwher else?

Certainly! I know 2 of them! One was rejected n even reposted to a Primary school. Bt a church requested for his services. He acepted. One tin is dat d church has a school, so he'l be reposted to d school bt mainly his job wil be in d church! D oda is a lawyer, was posted to a schol bt looked for a law firm who araigned wit da schol bt wil be in d firm! Anoda was rejected bt beged d proprietres to just acept d posting n only give clearance letas at d end of d month while he goes to sumwhere else to kontinue d biz he left bhind! So these instance abide! Bt ur clearance leta must state dat u re in a school, infact a schol acepted n isued u a clearance leta!

Abeg o o! Na corper me I be o! And thankGod for this thread at a time like dis cuz i even went to MTN ofice here, yestaday, in Sapele, Delta State n their plans no favour me at all in terms of PRICE (recharging it monthly) n TIME (as per NCCF family house morning n night devotion tinz)! I cant stay awake ova nite to browse na n stil go PPA (bt e cheap o! #2500). Other plans cost for me! Then again, i saw starcomms plan, i rejoiced cuz me i be downloads pesin n i nid unlimited data bt continuity com cost o o! D same price again! I reseached on n saw Airtel's 1GB for 3k monthly, 24/7. So i tot of buying starcomms, browse 4 one month n do all ma downloads, anti virus, pc, software update, videos, mp3 downloads etc. Then unlock, n continue with Airtel 1GB 24/7 mobile plan 4 3k. Bt alas! Starcomms modems, wen unlocked, stil cnt be used wit oda sims, even airtel. I wept in ma heart! So plz i beg to sit n learn frm u guys n how i cn help maself n odas also!

flairlady: .but not all corpers in Delta state teach right?

Yea! I'm also in Delta State, in Sapele to be precise, i know just one person posted to a farm n anoda posted to FEMA. D rest, its either primary or secondary school! The State Cordinator thoroughly warned all ZIs while we were in camp n any1 who compromises wil loose his or her job instantly!

Wait o! But NYSC nko? The alphabet 'C' also ends NYSC na.

Am LEARNING! I beg to LEARN more! Cuz b4 d end of ma service year or after, i may venture into a relationship! Although, am afraid!
WHY?
During ma university days, i once was in a relationship wich i was seduced into bcuz d young lady wanted to use me as her school assignment or project writer! We were in d same department n i was in ma final year, 1st semester while she was a diploma studnt. Since d foundatn of d relatnship was seductn, (nt SEX bt swit words n feigned care. Even before i wooed her, as she wanted, she wud alow me hold her by d waist, touch her by her laps while we spoke) one month into d relatnship, i wanted SEX! But she startled me. . . (we were both christian members of different feloships, bt unserious christians) she refused! Nt even a kiss! Infact all those touchings n hand or waist holdings, she disalowed! Even a peck or hug was a no go area! It was after a waking up of ma senses n wat she needed n was using me for that i realised dat i've gone out of normalcy n was doing her will. So i called it off!
Now am serving n thankGod for His grace upon ma life dat am close to Him n i wish to get closer evryday.
NOW MY FEAR
Am afraid dat i may nt be able to kip to "no sex b4 marriage" wen i enta a relatnship dat'l surely lead to marriage dis time. I trust God will help me stay strong inclusive of wat i've learnt here 2day! Thats why b4 now, my resolve is to get married as soon as i find her n nt stay long dating or courtship or find or meet her quickly so dat i won't fall into d temptatn of fornicatn with any other...

Kingsleyinfo: anyways I do agree that its painful, to be the first batch to be posted thus, but let's get something straight,
It is called the ' national youth service corps'.. Not the 'national youth development corps'
Even with the old policy people were still not getting anything like what u guys are ranting about, except for the lucky few who had connections in high places.
This is meant to put reduce lobbying to choice states and cities, infact it we would now see a reduction in lobbying to states such as Lagos, abuja and its likes.
Please I know its not easy but let's, just serve out the one year...
Give your best, do not mind what people say.
Remember what soever your hand findeth to do, pls do it with all your heart.
Even those of us from other batches even without the policy wasn't posted to our area of study. That's Nigeria for u. The policy is good as long as they will sustain it.

Its either u lie or u're simply ignorant! Lobbying wil surely continue. . . Cuz of state govt pay. Now pple wil flood Rivers state (15k), Lagos (15k), Abuja (10k), Anambra (10k) Delta state (10k, some places though). U see, like i said am a Batch A 2012 corps member, n i know wat its like to be rjected! 99 percent faced rejection from the so called schools who even requested for the corps member bt dint have acomodatn for them! Yestaday a clasmate of mine in d university posted to Abuja said they were asked to return on wednesday nex wik for reposting since schools have rjected almost all, they might reconsider n post to other juicy sectors!

flairlady: .dis bad?i wonder hw it wuld b 4 us coming up batch B

I have it in ma mind to write and get it published in a national daily. Bt am stil trying to weigh the consequences as against the good it may do. The policy should be adjusted slightly. 70% should strictly be for the policy, while 30% for other private sectors, as done initially.

Now dis policy is very very unfair to Batch A. I dnt know of oda states, but in Delta state the rate of rejection is 80% and counting... For Sapele, almost everybody was rjected. Nt up to 10 came to d secretariat for clearance n claimed aceptance either due to lack of acomodation or outright rejection. What bout Asaba? The same story lingers. Infact d news is dat the rjection was so much dat some wil have to be redeployed back to camp community, Isele ukwu (or watever its called). Am typing dis now at d general CDs meeting n d ZI just said any1 who wants to be reposted to d oil, chemical company or banks should come to do so. And its open to ONLY BATCH B & C. Such injustice!

Superlion09:
Well I served in osun state and won the MR Macho contest. Osun is a peaceful and strees free place to serve. If given d opportunity, I will serve dere again. For dose influencing their postings witout having a strong ground in where they r going to especially places like Lagos and Abuja, am sorry for u guys. I have stayed 23yrs in lagos,2yrs in abj and currently working in Kano. Served in Osun as I said and I graduated frm UNN in Enugu. I have moved to almost 18 states in d country and I can confidently tell you abt d way tins are in some regions. For dose posted to Kano, Don't be scared as tins r calm 4 nw. Got frnds currently serving in other nothern parts and tins r calm dere too. D only tin u nid to do while in d north is to mind d way u talk n knw who u relate with. Jst mind ur business. Shikenah!!!

Bros wot about DELTA STATE. I guess u must have something to say about that state. . .

Maybe this map can help somebody,

I posted the message below for ma former class peeps. We call ourselves Giant Communicators! This may help any one who is presently nt feeling to good about the state posted to. . . and generally everyone

Giant Communicators! Though it seems the nation has placed a divide on us, we know our spirit is ONE! No matter which state you're going to, have it in mind that there's sumtin for u to hold on to, affect, impact, change, savour, and most importantly weld for a better and brighter future ahead of us. To our brothers, sisters, loved companions, and bossom friends of worth draged to the North; to our communicators of skill, whose friedship and care indeed has been truly felt and desired and are directed to where was never required; to the suposed lucky n favoured ones whose smiles and grin forms a magmanimous and beaming sunlight rays of happiness in our heart anytime we remember them from far away miles; and finally to our beloved mates n cherished companions with blistering sense of worth to us who were never pale bcuz they know where to sail; PLEASE JUST KNOW THIS,
Our hearts as a team we must hold 2gether as steam. If we must roll down tears, let it be d fears dat we let go and the spears that we prepare for the challenges ahead. If we must be sad, let it be a sign of mad rusty crusts of uncertainty dat we let go n look forward to fulfilment onward. If we must be happy, let it be a sloppy path we're taking to a destination where we shall see each other once again n never be at sea. If we must be disappointed, let it be a disapproval at our bad wishers n let them know dat there's always a place of greatness so appointed. If we must be sober, let it be a sign dat we do not slumber and are aware of the hardwork garments we have to wear. And if we are so so excited, let caution be highlighted even as we are delighted that all shal be exhalted!
Hold on to what u know, increse ur knowledge like a rolling snow. Its just one year, not of fear, tears or wear n tear; but a one year of good, prevailing and wonderful experiences and possesions cuz the earth is the Lords and the fulness thereof, THE WORLD AND THE THAT DWELLS IN IT! For Isaiah 45 vs 3 states that the Lord shal make the crooked paths straight for our sakes cuz he neva fails! FORGET HIM NOT!
We shall continue to network anyway we can and always comunicate even if theres a barn ful of dificulties!
I LOVE YOU ALL, GIANT COMM LOVES YOU MORE, GOD LOVES YOU MOST.
Go and TAKE CHARGE!!!

Well, the NYSC call up letter according to their website is supose to be available as from 28th of Feb. for 2012 Batch A. My school, Unizik, has not distributed yet. We've been asked to return 2maro for it. I heard in Unilag, majority got places like Jigawa, Kano, Kastina. . .Lol How true is this. If u've gotten ur CALL UP LETTER, plz kindly share with us where u've been posted to n how ur preparations are goin. . . . ?

And people, do not 4get to prepare ur CV too cuz u dnt know wat might hapen sha. Do up to 5 or 7 original printing of it, no photocopies. . .

Raxxye:
@Fleps. U wouldn‘t need to spend much in camp. U can be comfortable with far less than 10k, especially if u‘ll be willing 2 eat what‘s offered from the camp kitchen. Back then in Oyo camp, d food was good, so I didn‘t spend much in mami mkt.
Besides, ur first month allowance will be paid in camp(around d 3rd wk) and bicycle allowance too(this will come much earlier). I hope this helps.
BTW, I notice u‘re very spiritual.

Thanks 4 ur response! So i guess 5000 won't be too small then.

Raxxye:

Hmmm! Na baba GOD b ma only hope o o! Am just me by His grace! *smiles*

Good Post! Am also joining da Batch A dis year n ma cal up leta is nex wik. Now for my question! Plz lets just b realistic here. . . How much is actually a realistic amount to take to camp? Lets get d stats: I will nt spend much time in Maimi or watever its cald. . . I wil enjoy maself there wit d cool air, music etc or at list a bottle of malt once in two days (as EXAMPLE O O!). Bt lavishing cash there? No go area 4 me! Most of ma time wil be with d felowship i will join and am sure l'l be posted to where i'l be at home wit da camp food cuz GOD worked my posting/service for me so i have faith in him!
So how much wil b realistic cuz nt all have much to spend. Som of us r fresh August/December graduates n even January, strike for almost half d month didnt alow us get temporary jobs to fiddle wit (ma case sha) n at d same time hopes to suport family wit d Alawee (so i heard its cald). Dats y GOD worked my service anyway.
Finally, biko, joor, how much is realistic n won't make u steal (nt an option 4 me though) for those who dint take up to 10k to camp. I also hope to build a friendly, moral, godly relationship wit ladies too as it wud help me improve confidence, self esteem n control of my emotions! Thanks! Timely thread indeed!

Job seekers often spend
hours perfecting their
resumes and agonizing over
their cover letters, and then
blow it all by sending an
email that comes across as
unprofessional. Here are 10
ways that a single email can
ruin your chances of getting
an interview or job.
1. Sharing an email account
with a spouse. Employers
don’t want to feel like they are
emailing job-related
correspondence to your
significant other. If your email
address makes it clear that
someone shares it with you
then it’s time to get your own
separate account for job-
searching. They’re free, after
all.
Unprofessional email
signature
2. Using an unprofessional
email signature. If your email
signature contains political or
religious messages, long
quotations, or inspirational
messages, you risk turning
off your recipient and
signaling that you don’t know
what’s appropriate for
professional
communications.
3. Using unusual fonts.
There’s a fairly narrow range
of acceptable fonts for emails.
If you’re using Comic Sans,
you’re going to come across
as unprofessional and a bit
uncomfortable with
technology. A good email
font is one that doesn’t make
the reader think about what
font you used.
4. Using email stationery.
Email isn’t a written letter; it
doesn’t require stationery.
Using borders of flowers
around your email text looks
tacky and unprofessional.
5. Making recipients jump
through anti-spam hoops to
respond. We all want to get
less spam, but if you make
someone fill out an anti-spam
form to get their email
through to you, then you
might find that some
employers just don’t bother.
6. Not checking your spam
folder. If you’re conducting a
job search, make sure that
you check your spam folder
every day. A surprising
number of emails from
employers can end up in
there. You might sit around
wondering why no one has
gotten back to you when in
fact there is a response or
two in your spam folder right
now. Go look.
7. Sending one email with
your resume and cover letter
to multiple employers.
Whether you put them all in
the “to” line or bcc them all,
there’s no better way to
signal that you’re just mass-
mailing your materials out,
rather than conducting a
customized, targeted job
search.
8. Having an unprofessional
address. If you like to
traverse the Web as “Sexy
Mama” or “Partying Paul,” get
a different email address for
job searching. Addresses like
these are so unprofessional
that they will trump anything
else about your application.
9. Formatting your email like
a business letter. When
you’re sending business
correspondence through
postal mail, you should
include the date, your
address, and the recipient’s
address at the top of the
letter. However, when you’re
emailing someone, there’s no
need to include any of that
information, and doing so
makes you look like you
don’t use email much.
10. Using your work account
to apply for other jobs. A
surprising number of resume
submissions come from
candidates’ current work
email address. If you’re using
work time to search for
another job, employers will
assume you’ll do the same to
them.

Maybe d poster wants to release an album remix of styl plus 4 years. *singing* 5 years dan waka, we stil dey carry go, nobody waka, nobody go solo, Baba GOD o, na ur grace o, ADUPE o!

Come oh! NCCF no dey camp?

AMEN!
