Ellylace: I find it very amusing that the cause for this, i.e Jamb reg. Numbers verification,is the ineptitude of graduates and their poor perfomance in
English..Isn't it fascinating?

Preparation Tips u should know.
This piece was
compiled to educate the
prospective Batch 'A' Corps
Members and any other interested
parties on what to expect in and
outside the NYSC Camp.
You can share with your friends
too.
Let's go!
MIND PREPARATION :
You need to prepare your mind
that you are leaving home for a
regimented life in the camp.Life in d campis deliberately made
stressful so as to prepare you for
any challenge that may confront
you outside the camp.You will not find it too
comfortable,It' s a camp and not
your flat! Just be ready for
anything.

save you the stress of 'borrow-

r. Ladies could add any other few
conveniences. I believe you
understand me
t. Money! Money! Money! Hold
good cash please depending on
how you spend.
GO EARLY!
Even if the camp is on your street,
go early. If you are posted to a far
state, go the day before the camp
opens. They will allow you in.
Going late will make you go
through registration stress.Be warned !
SCREENING
It starts at the gate.
They dont
want u to bring in prohibited
items like iron, knive, bombs, etc.
REGISTRATION
The first one is for hostel/
bedspace.Then the paper
registrations proper. Make
everything ready.Look out for
information pasted on walls.
Follow instructions strictly.
YOUR KITS
During the registration, you will
get your kits--shirts,sh orts,etc.
Use the marker to write your Code
Number (CN) on them 'sharp-sharp"
You will also be given a tag that
will show your CN. That will be
your ID Card temporarily. You take
it EVERYWHERE in camp. You will
be given a meal ticket. Misplace it
and forget about NYSC food (hunger will finish Ʋ if Ʋ no get moni )
DURATION
You will be in the camp for 20 full
days. The 21st day is the day you
will leave camp.
THERE YOU GO!
Immediately you have your kits,
only your T-shirt and shorts with
the tennis shoe are allowed on
you. No room for casual wears.
Parade/ marching training starts
immediately.
The soldiers will not give you
breathing space at all. You will
have the first one that same Day
One.Watch Out! people could be
fainting on the Parade Ground.
You won't faint,calm down... So
eat well.It's the stress that causes their fainting. Don't form superman o,EAT !
YOUR MORNINGS
A small trumpet wakes you at
5am. Everybody gathers at the
Parade Ground (PG) at 5:30am.
You have your praise, worship
and prayer the Christian and
Muslim ways. Blah-blah-blah till
the day breaks finally. Breakfast
follows!
After eating, you will be called out
again for the series of
programmes lined up for you.
Then you have your lunch. Rest a
little and you are out again for
evening parade. Then later your
dinner. This will repeat itself
everyday perhaps except on
Sunday.
THE FOOD
You may not like the food. You
can always go to the Mammy
Market(MM) i.e the Camp Market to
fill your 'tank' with delicacies at
your cost.
STEALING
This is 'legalised'.The y can steal
anything.Be wise.
SOLDIERS
Hmmm,Obey them o.They
can punish you.No walking,its all
jogging wen they call u.Dont
postrate or kneel down greeting a
soldier.Do it the soldier way.They
could be friendly anyway.Be wise.
ALLOWEE
Your first allowance will be given
to you in the camp cash. All other
ones will be through the bank.
You will get Bicycle Allowance.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Photographers are ready to snap
you every minute. Manage your
cash.
...............
NOW, YOU ARE ABOUT GOING OUT
OF THE CAMP
YOUR POSTING
You will be posted from the camp
to where to work. The place to
work in is called your Place of
Primary Assignment (PPA). Hear
this: most Corpers, I mean about
90% of the Corpers will be posted
to schools (especially primary and
secondary schools). Only VERY FEW will be posted to the universities,
polytechnics and Colleges.
Please! Don't lobby for your
posting. Don't pay ANYBODY for
assistance. Pray rather than pay.
Gone are the days when Corps
Members are posted to Banks and
Co. Receive the shocking or
expected postings as you receive
your letters with joy. It's a clarion
call to service; that's what dey call
it.
GOING OUT: TRANSPORTATION
When you get your Posting Letter,
the first place to go to is your PPA.
If you are identified with the
Fellowship in camp,you may first
report at the TEMPORARY lodge
they will provide.Then you could
report at your PPA later same day
or the following day.
Please, when you leave the camp,
home-sweet-home will be on
your mind, havin been used up
in the camp.But please, don't go
home straight. Please!
Very few of your employers (i.e.
PPAs) will send down vehicles to
convey you from the camp to their
workplaces. Private and some
Govt higher education institutions
do. The Fellowship too make
arrangement for you at your cost.
Commercial transporters will likely
be available at the gate too.Be wise.
ACCOMMODATION ::
You don't know anybody in
Damaturu or Ekiti! Where will you
sleep on the first day? The
Fellowship may give you a
TEMPORARY accommodation
pending the time you will HAVE TO
GET YOURS.
You could be lucky if your
employer gives you a room. Many
of them don't give Corpers
accommodation anyway. So be
prepared to rent one at your cost.Your first 'allowee' which you
received in the camp is already
going down!
REGISTRATIONS
This is why you don't have to go
home straight. Your registration
at the NYSC Office in the Local Govt
you will be posted to is important.
Failure to complete it before
going home is the beginning of a
Corper's cup of tea.He may begin
to have problems with his
subsequent monthly allowances.
Do all
registrations first. Then you can
take permission to go home.
Permission to go home? Long
process! You will know why it's
so.
Well,I hope dese few tips will go a
long way.Its 7weeks,Ʋ hav enough time to prepare..
All da best swthrts,One love.
