PotatoSalad:
quick questions. some of these questions are quite embarrassing but...
1. Are we going to be given pillows in camp or just foam lol.
No, definitely not. You can take a pillow along though or improvise when you get to camp by using your bag as pillow. (safer)
2. for people going with mosquito nets, what if you're given up bunk... where do you find tent poles?
Wel, you can negotiate with someone on a down bunk, hustle for a down bunk or try to contact the camp carpenter (there is always a carpenter in every camp, might even be the SAED coordinator for carpentry class, be ready to pay though). But, most camps are fumigated, they wouldn't want to risk the outbreak on malaria in camp where the population is large, so the camp is very well treated, as such you might not bother with the extra load of Mosquito net.
3. i heard that sometime in the past, corpers were given Condoms, does it still work wink?
Yea, they are. There is a group on camp called PET/HIV group which will metamorphose into the PET/HIV CDS group out of group, this group is saddled with the responsibility of educating other corps members about the risk of HIV/AIDs, they get to be certificated though, (so you can look out for this group in camp). So, during their outreach or sensitization, they distribute condoms to fellow corps members. Alternatively, there is a set of people that come to camp to do HIV test, after this you get 2 or 3 condoms.
4. Laundry, how can one manage that without fear of losing ones clothes
Well, you either give your laundry to the laundry washers to help out, your clothes are secured there as they monitor it. Or you just risk it and spread it where others are spreading theirs. Theft is minimal in camp though, especially as regards laundry, just make sure your stuffs are labelled. Write your state code on it.
5. are there barbers in camp?
Yes, there are. At mammy market.
6. dry cleaning. any provision for ironing and dry cleaning in camp?
Yes, they are the laundry washers. You can opt for wash, starch and iron, or just starch and iron or just wash, whichever suits you.
7. is attending churches on Sunday compulsory?
Nah.. There are muslims on camp and people with other belief so it can never be compulsory.
8. if white shirts and shorts is the main dress code, what of time for sports in the evenings?
Same thing, except if you are playing and you will be on your jersey.
9. Money and safeguarding one's phones. what's a good procedure to do especially in the night, doing laundry and taking a bath?
At night, just keep it close. Or put it somewhere you know is safe, several places though, like under the bedsheet, in your bag close to your head and so on. During laundry, well, the phone can be in your pocket or your waist pouch. When taking bath, you can take your waist pouch with u to the toilet, or just put it in your bag, or ask a friend to watch over.. Taking a phone to bathroom is risky, it can fall inside water, can be stolen if you put it at the window. Best bet is to just drop it in your room or put it in your bag.
10. are guys allowed to visit female dorms?
Basically, you are not allowed to enter into their rooms. But you can stay around the hostels. Most camps have male and female hostels close together with no demarcation. You just can't enter the rooms. but can stay outside
11. Safeguarding one's clothing. what's the best way to mark your wears?
With marker, at the collar, waist line, or the tip of the short and socks.
12. can one come to camp a day before the opening? let's say you're from Delta going to serve in Taraba state.
Yes. Most times, camps are opened 2 days before orientation begin.
13. what activities are/are not compulsory?
All are, but some might be relaxed, such as the social night activities. Morning and evening parade is the most important coupled with the lectures.
14. if you're an instrumentalist, can you go to camp with your guitar or piano (to be used
in church etc)?
Not advisable, so many things can go wrong. NCCF do have instruments which you can use.
15. please add other necessary info we need to know.
Well, basically have fun.. don't push it too much.. Camp can be fun if you let it.. Enjoy the morning drills, find a chat partner for the boring lectures or move with clique if guys and enjoy the lecture by gisting. Enjoy the evenings by having fun, enjoy the social gatherings and visit mammy market when chanced but be careful, mammy has a way of sucking you dry. And girls know how to capitalise on that.
Respect the officials (NYSC, Military and other parastatals). Try and belong to something, do something for your platoon to make the camp life enjoyable.
be hopeful for your posting, if any official can assist you, no problem, but don't pay to anyone.
Enjoy yourself bro and have fun. cc: segunk1, chriswazo, rafic and evreyone

Why inactive? U don get job?
Anyway, I guess that's the only choice (3 weeks of inactivity). The last time I stayed this long away from Fiverr, I burned all of my savings to the ground. I hope that won't be the case now. Thanks for the advice, though. Na to do marathon now before camp resume....
Uwc bro. Just lost interest.

Logodwhiz sheybi u dey fiverr? How u take run am when u dey camp? I no wan halt my business o; na my only source of income and my savings never plenty reach.
Yea i am. But not active. U can get a tablet amd use in camp, but then your biz will definitely slow down. My advice is this, complete all pending orders before going to camp, enjoy your camp experience nd resume after camp.

Oga no vex oh... Me too need some clarification.

The issue is that an error in DOB was made online by NYSC, all my other documents have the correct DOB...

I bought the waec verification pin but I got some error while trying to edit it.

1. Is this going to be an issue in camp?
2. Would I be able to correct it again, probably in camp?

Thanks.
Don't be worried, you can correct the age issue in camp.
As long as you are less than 30 and you can go for service, correct it in camp.

Boss how about payments

Heard the ministry pays 5k and free accommodation in uyo plus state alawee of 5k while private firm pays 20k without accommodation and no state alawee

Boss tell me how much accommodation costs in uyo. .cos it's the capital I'm coming. .Heard it's around 130-150k for pure self con. .

Please how true are these my infos. . cool cool
Lol.. Person wey tell u dey jonze u.

Yes, state alawee is 5k as long as you are working for the state government you are entitled to it.
No free accomodation, you pay your ass out for it.
Private firm pay 20k? I laugh in tianshi. Private firms especially schools pay in the region of 10k to 15k nd some do give accommodation (for schools), but for firms as in private organisations, hardly will u see 1 and if u do they can pay in the tune of 10k to 25k but likely no accommodation.

Accommodation starts from 110 to 220k for self cons, ranges from the location, facilities inside the house, fenced or not, close to the road or not, electricity. generator and all that. But basically for a good self con start planning from 150k.

@ LogoDWhiz , about the bvn DOB issue. The most important thing is to make sure that the date of birth you fill in when opening an account should match the one on your Bvn.. Since nysc won't share any details/data with the bank right?....
Yes.. let it be the correct one.

Boss tell me more about AKS cos na there i dey land come may 23rd

Q. How did I know I'll serve in AKS?

A. Boss this is Nigeria nah grin grin

Please tell me all I'll need to know
Boss, na u o..

Well, Akwa Ibom has all it takes for flexing.. Just flex and go back to your state. if you have a mind for business, you can thrive though but it will be rough.

Uyo is the best place to serve although it has its own disadvantages in the area of the high cost of living, accommodation, robbery and all that.
Other villages are cool too but security is an issue, but it has its own advantages as you can save money, accommodation is cheap too and all that.

Majority of corps members (90%) are posted to schools, so be prepared to teach.

Anymore info, ask me.

Please, let me rephrase. When opening a new bank account in camp, do you fill DOB on the form or it is directed provided by Nysc with the DOB with them. My DOB with Nysc is wrong and I can't correct it cuz the one on my WAEC result is even wronger! My BVN DOB is correct, please I want to know if the wrong DOB with Nysc will affect the new bank account opening for my allowance, and can't I just give them my true date of birth on my BVN?
Hello roby, do not be perturbed. Nysc dnt av a say with acc opening, they just link u up with 1 of d numerous banks they partner, you fill their details, they open an account for you, you get the acc no, nd nysc pays ur allawee there. So, nysc doesnt give them any data. You will get a form for acc opening with d bank, u are given, u feel ur details including ur dob urself.
