Congrats

hello House,
Am happy the way people are responding to
encourage others meet their dreams. I intend to go
to canada for MSc and please I want to rely on this thread for
information flow from the experienced gurus in-
here.
I graduated with 2.2 CGPA 3.4. And I intend going for Masters in information System Security.
I will like to know, if I am qualified for Msc with my grade. Also, how to go about the whole processing. And, how to file my application in an easier way.
And the requirements. I've been reading other peoples' comments , but sometimes confusing.
Thanks in anticipation.

Sincerely brother, I have lived in Lagos all my life except when I was in school and I know how it could be for someone that has no relation or friends, its like going to the U.S without having a place to stay when you arrive there. things does not sound or look rossy the way you perceive it, except you have a relative to accommodate you and feed you while you stay there. Accommodation, feeding and transportation should be considered, and since corps members are no longer posted to private firms, and no one would employ a Corps member except you already have one worked out for you or you just want to go and enjoy your time while you serve as a ghost corper . I hope you can handle the hustling and bustling, the anguish that comes with it because believe it or not all your allowance both federal, state and ppa will only serve as pocket money to you except you are medical doctor, lawyer, nurse etc. I am a serving corps member presently in Edo state and believe me I'm enjoying my time serving in this Village, where I can save some cash for my raining day after service.

Thanks so much.
Actually, There's an accommodation, but I really don't know any firm/company that would employ a Corp member... I don't think I can teach. I finished from Computer Science in the University.

Please Nairalanders!
I'm really troubled about my service, because I'm processing it to Lagos state... Some people have been saying different sort of things, and I've been reading about stuffs that's making me scared now... I just need some piece of advice.

Hello, please I would like to know the necessary documents that one has to take to camp for registration. Please share your thoughts. Thank you

20 THINGS YOU MUST NOT FORGET TO TAKE
TO NYSC ORIENTATION CAMP
So Today post is concerning things you just cant
live without in camp except you intend on
borrowing or stealing?(hmmm) .
PHOTOCOPIES OF YOUR DOCUMENTS: just make
up to 10-12 copies of every document required .
There would be photocopiers in camp at maami
market but trust me , it is double the price and it
saves time. Statement of Result (Original and
Photocopies) , School ID Card (Original and
Photocopies)
COPIES OF PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS: This is
very important . from experience i would say
you make up to 30. Reason being that you would
need them at every registration point mostly.
Then those of you who would likely redeploy ,
you would need more than others . It is always
advisable to have extra copies of them too.
CALL UP LETTER: This is a vital part of camp and
the only evidence that you are a corper (otondo)
and you are not impersonating anyone. so if at
all you even forget you luggage (lol) never forget
this. Word of advice —-keep it like its your life,
do not laminate it o. i know someone who was
sent back because she forgot hers. and also
someone who had to beg and beg before his
letter was collected because he laminated his
own copy. So please o avoid all these stress and
make enough copies of this letter like 15 .
STATIONERY :BIRO , PAPER , GLUE , TIPPEX AND
STAPLER :Yeah this saves time and lots
of unnecessary begging. also do not forget to
include pins in your stapler.
ROUND-NECKED WHITE T-SHIRTS : this is an
essential outfit in camp in fact in most camps
this is the only allowed cloth to be worn
throughout your 3 weeks . Even to church , you
might not be allowed to wear colored cloths.
You would be given 2 pairs of white t-shirts at
camp to just fulfill all righteousness which surely
would never be your size especially our very slim
and small otondo in size . So you can bring extra
pairs (3) . Word of advice: do not carry more
than 2 pairs of colored clothes because you wont
need it .
WHITE SHORTS: i beg you please do bring yours ,
you would also be given 2 pairs of shorts which
are really poor in material . they tear easily and
are thick . it can be annoying. so my dear
otondos bring like 4 pairs of shorts . Trust me
also you wont like to wash everyday ,so bring
enough to last you like 3 days so that you wont
be stranded.
PLAIN WHITE SNEAKERS/TENNIS SHOES: This is a
very important outfit. you would also be given a
pair of low quality tennis shoes customized for
nysc. Its either you are not given your size . After
the first wash it starts tearing . So just buy yours.
They also sell this in camp , so in case you are
not able to get you could buy in camp just carry
extra cash for that because the price would be
higher cos they know you have no choice than to
buy.
WHITE SOCKS: Just get extra pairs . you would
also be given 2 pairs.
A PAIR OF SLIPPERS
DETTOL : This is very very essential . firstly the
bathrooms can be very annoying and dirty and
you would not like to have infection from camp.
Bad idea. Also the water can be dirty.Most
people always have reaction to it.
MOSQUITO NET: you would do not want to fall
sick in camp from malaria. Just bring yours. Also
bring ropes you would use to tie it o. i also used
mine as a room to protect my box and
properties from thieves and also from some
insects and ants
OTHERS: Towel , bed sheets Pillow Cases and A
Pillow . you could also get pillow from mammy
market.
NOVEL :For those who get bored easily , please
carry some . And for guys psp or chess.
also iPod and mp3.
CASH: extremely important. you would need
between 15000 – 20000 for the extravagant
spenders and for those that can manage say
10000-15000. There are lots of things that take
up money . Things like food(for those
who don’t intend eating camp food) , recharge
cards, charging of phones , pleasures e.t.c NOTE
—- you wont be allowed to leave camp o. So do
not be stranded , trust me not a good idea.Just
budget 1000 per day . You could carry your ATM
incase.
ALMIGHTY WAIST POUCH/BAG:Very very
essential . This served as my bank and locker for
important items. Things like phones, money , id
card , keys , ATM cards e.t.c I even know
someone who sleeps with hers on because of
people on the loose to
steal .
TORCHLIGHT OR RECHARGEABLE LAMPS: Most or
in fact all camps do not give light except at a
specific time of the day . Its very essential .
especially at night when you need to use the
bathroom , early in the morning when preparing
for morning drills and meditations. at night in
case you need to do anything . At mammy , there
is always light till they close . You can charge
them there at a little fee.
BASIC DRUGS: like panadol or paracetamol ,
allergy medicine , menustaral pain drug , nausea
relief drugs , antibiotics e.t.c . The camp clinic is
always inadequately filled with drugs so help
yourself.PADLOCKS : please lock your boxes and
bags to avoid regrets and crying o . i know
people who lost things to theives due to
carelessness
Toiletries/
Sanitary Pad .
Bucket, soap dish (buy at the camp site, don’t
stress yourself taking one to the place, they
always sell in the
camp)
PLATE , BOWL AND CUP: For eating . Important
for those who intend on eating camp food.
