There is no body that I know that serves across water that have paid a dime for accomodation because accomodation is not an issue here. In my PPA it's one corp member to a room and that's one of the advantages we have over those serving on land. Life across water is cheap as you don't get to spend much but there can be challenges of light and may be network, depending on where you are posted to. And may be loneliness !

pls hope there is no militant problems with corpers?
Also are there any dos and don'ts of the people one needs to know?

The camp no too make sense like that o aspa say na temporary site but it's getting better sha. Electricity is more stable in the evenings because the generator is usually on till lights out. But no matter what you can till catch your fun, camp is fun.

@ chuks, I'll be leaving very early on tuesday morning. I don't know the transport to take yet @ upper iweka but I'll ask around tomorrow. For whatsapp my nos is 07066759230. I just pray I'll enjoy my stay in Bayelsa State.

Welcome prospective corps member! We await you guys! Bayelsa is full of ups and downs! Pray you are not going to be posted to Nembe/Brass/Ekeremor.... unless you have love for the sea! Yenagoa is the only manageable city! The camp is not magnificent but it's very homely! Kolokuma is the host community of the camp. Bayelkopa is our denonym. And it's very expensive here, even in the rural areas! Welcome to the glory of all lands... We we weeeeeeeeeeee o!

elenewton1:

Camp is normal! No exceptional facility...

chinnynora:

I was also posted to Bayelsa State. Please how do I get there from Onitsha in Anambra State? Also, I'm scared of this water crossing with boat things you guys are talking about. Is it for real? Anyway, I'm also hoping for the oil company job shaaaaaa.

Go to Peace park at owerri rd onitsha and enter to Bayelsa. Then stop at Mbiama mkt and enter a taxi to Kaiama Grammar School,the taxi frm Mbiama to Kaiama usually cost 4hundred...gudluck!

Imanuelle:
Hi guys, forget about what you think of bayelsa state, or what you've always read online, bayelsa is a very cool place.

Wherever it is you are coming from, all you need do is stop at kaiama junction, from there you'll get a N100 bike to camp.

When you arrive, there'll be a line of whities like you, you'll get an entrance number, and also get searched, after which persons from NCCF will assist you in carrying your bag(s) to a safe place for keeping.

The next step is you going for a bed space, this will be allotted to you in front of the dinning room(that's what its called). When you get a space, you'll go to the store(extreme right from the dining hall) to sign up for a foam, then you can go set up your bed space, in that same vein, you can also hire one of the kids around, to fix your net for you.

Afterwards, you'll go back to the hall, there will be different lines for different zones, you will join the appropriate line, and turn in your documents, and then get your NYSC BY number.

As you should know, the last digit on this BY number will be your platoon number, now if your number is 127, you'll have to scout around for the platoon officer of platoon 7 to get your kit.

Then the 'find your size' hunt starts.

You van forget anything, but not your white rubber shoe and mosquito net(you can buy them in camp tho).

Now about the groups on camp, there's the band, red cross and OBS. The OBS guys are the super-cool guys. People will envy you, and you will see them pretend to hate you because every other person will see you as cool.

You will be told, times without number, that no preferential treatment in PPA posting, but that's a lie.

To get posted around the state capital, join the OBS.

There's more but I'm currently busy, feel free to throw a million questions.

tanx for d info, wat if I prefer being posted to other places like brass instead of d state capital, wat group shld I join? Secondly as an economics graduate I would love an oil co like Mobil, shell etc. Hw do I go about 'runsing' it on camp? Tanx

mimiy05:
Welcome in advance to bayelsa...I'm currently serving there n I can't wait to leave. some of you might enjoy it tho. A little heads up...make sure your white shoes are made of rubber. When we were in camp, we were not allowed to wear shorts with pockets or use waist bags. don't know if that policy would change for u guys. For those coming from Lagos, God is good motors, agofure motors go to bayelsa. just tell the driver to stop you at kaima junction then you take a bike from there to d camp. its about 50-100 naira. Cross country motors also offer camp services ie they go straight to d camp. last year, Lagos to kaima camp was 6k. don't know how much it costs now.
For those of you who want to influence your ppa posting to yenagoa, bear in mind that the cost of living in bayelsa is a little on d high side especially accommodation. whatever you do, do not rent a house where there are no drainage systems in d street, you'll absolutely regret it. So make sure to check d area n ask questions before renting a place.
I'll be happy to answer more questions
once again, welcome in advance to bayelsa

I would love to be posted to any of d oil companiesm particularly in Brass. Hw do I influence dat in camp?

Yenagoa is expensive, brass is super expensive because the oil-boys stay there, it favors ladies mostly.

Secondly, its easy to work your ppa to any coy, the only necessary key is to ha e someone that works in that coy.

Do you have someone in any company that you intend to serve?

If you just want to go to brass, PM me, I'll direct you to someone that you'll talk to.

senior friend Imanuelle, Raod, Palacious and Okusebi, we need you to tell us about Kaiama camp and Bayelsa state as a whole. Thanks in advance!

.
Bayelsa is cool, Kaiama is water-logged and don't expect so much from the Camp. Enjoy d hustle, craziness and d fun there. Life in Yenagoa could be expensive if U don't have a settled accomodation but in d in-lands (other areas aside d capital) accomodation is settled for Corpers going there.
If U are a great Hustler, there is money in Bayelsa to be made especially for Teaching-Corpers. Welcome to the Glory of all Lands
