Ever since this thread was created this is the only comment that makes a meaning, especialy 2nd to last line.

abbeywasc:

What if u leg n leg out God's original plans for u?

yinkard4me: Mehn ur words hit me... No hard feelings bro. Just don't like wen peeps write off places cos Ure not dia.. Ogbecchhe said all I meant.... Sorry if I offended u. One lav

No qualms, we talk according to wat we see or hear...God speed.

yinkard4me: I work erryday of d week and Dats wah I love most.. D first and only day I didn't go to work was one of my low days in service year.. I LOVE MY WORK AND D AFTER WORK.. One lav

Re we quarreling dude?
U cnt jst wake up n start attacking pple u dnt evn knw, Dat u whr fortunate or unfortunate to teach in a polytechnic is nt d only path to success in life, Afterall, its nt serving dat matters bt wat u cn account for after d service year
Do ur thng n do it well....God speed Bro.

prisi002: U want ur service year to be comfy, u want state allowance and still be able 2 live on ur fed. allowance(definitely possible). Then avoid Abeokuta, Otta, Ijebu nd oda cities @ all cost. Ders as much fun anywhere else e.g Sagamu, Ikenne. I can speak for Ikenne tho. Most of d corpers in Abeokuta can testify. There's nothing der. U spend a lot nd get little. Besides if u're aiming for honours award then u shouldn't go 2 d cities. I hope y'all wuld be wise.

Dats d gospel truth, I'm serving at Remo north l.g n must confess its been fun, i evn work twice a wk...

abbeywasc:
abeg, ogun dey pay state alawee and hw was ur posting to PPAs? I mean na stl to sec. schls mostly?

Y'all hv been complaining abt d pains n stress of camp activities alot ,jst call ya friends at oda camps n ask dem of theirs den u 'll see dat actualy u re in a safe Haven...I Thnk dats d most fun part of d service year ,so go on wit it.

Hardeybiryo: Network is really dulling peeps here.

At d Mphall or parade ground, thrs always full reception...go there.

Saintee2009: Day 1 was fun!! Dodged parade... mami market was fun!!!

Enjoy, bt take caution.

danvery2k6: reporting to base this morning on air 1 #takes a deep breath

MissIndependent: very ok and neat but i guess the population will spoil things

Naa, d population makes it lively, unlike wat my guys frm other camps said abt been bored, i wasnt for once, so i guess it shldnt change at ur time...

Ok see hw it wrks...
After ur arrival, make sure u queue to get ur room Number cuz dats d most important thng, after dat just relax till 7pm ,goto d Mphall start ur registeration, any 1 u couldnt finish u rap it off d nxt day....

MissIndependent: @Zenanted how much is T.fare from Ibadan to Sagamu? Because from Osun state to Ibadan is #700. Pls reply ASAP...

Nt more than #700

[quote author=MissIndependent]* Ermm please how do i get to Sagamu Camp from Osun state and how many hours is the journey?


*Will they allow me spend the night in camp on Monday 4th??
I think you should get to Ibadan 1st ,stop at Iwo Rd then Enter another bus going to sagamu at the same park ,i think osogbo to Ibadan is abt 2hrs and ....Bt from Ibadan to Sagamu is abt 45-50 mins
concerning spending the nite in camp, i heard its possible bt i didnt do it cuz i arrived at the camp in the opening day ,though some did.

Palacedaughter: Good morning guys. Travelling back home (Ogun State) from school. Please can any past corp member tell me what OBS is really about and what goes on in that spot? Wld really appreciate. Thanks,

Though i'm a present Corper nt past bt i'll try to answer ur question,
OBS : Orientation Broadcasting Service is just like a typical Radio Station bt this time in the camp and run by corp members .
Their duty is : To prep the stage for morning devotion, Announcements, News ,Play musics to keep the camp warm ,They organise Discusions on various topics just like every other Radio Station...No matter where you are can always hear them through the P.A system
Except u re at the MAMMII market cuz i knw dats whr most of u'll spend ur 21 days

COMMENTS
* You will be provided with 2 pairs of white
T-
shirts and shorts in camp but you can take
up
to 2 pairs more along. I will strongly ad ise
that.
* Colored panties will be too conspicuous
under the white tops and bottoms.
* forget mufti, u will hardly need it, except
you do sports sha.
* 1 pair of shoe and socks is okay. It is
good to
have a white rubber shoe that is easy to
clean
(sold at camp also). I will strongly advise you
to get that.

28 Torch lights/Batteries
29 Mosquito Nets/Repellant
30 Food Flasks, Cups, Drinking flasks &
Cutlery

32 Wristwatch

you come with your atm card. I am coming
to camp with an interswitch powered
payment portal, so you can safely withdraw
money from your account.
COMMENTS
*If you have an internet-enabled camera
phone, do take it along. Camp life can be
very
boring without one. You will like to take
pictures and share with your friends. You
only
need to be very vigilant and protective of
your things. If you feel you need a
bulletproof
vest or helmet, please carry it. You know
what
we mean, don’t you?
* Never, ever, ever run out of money! Bring
as
much as you can afford.
* Mirrors and forks are known to be
contraband items in camp
* Prices of items apart from fast consumer
goods (Credit, Gala, Indomie etc) are usually
higher than those outside so it is advisable
you buy the things you can before going into
camp.

When the camp opens officialy i 'll teach u guys the best and easiest way to avoid the sun and long queue but stil hasten up ur registeration

yinkard4me: d camp is one of d most beautiful camp in d country after jigawa n katsina NYSC camp.. my own PPA is in Sango ota, Am lecturing in a polytechnic, d cost of leaving here is moderate. Rent is expensive here but I was given accommodation..... most PPA provides accommodation for Corpers n salary except Ure posted to a govt firm or school in abeokkuta.. As per private schools, its ccmpullsoorry dey provide u wit accommodation n most of dem pays. Trust me, ve never been to a state dat have such numbers of schools like ogun state... Am really enjoying my service year... All d best

Thnx Bro for helping me out, na my fellow batch Corper oo

abbeywasc: Can any1 provide directions to the camp from ibadan/lagos

I only knw from Iwo rd, jst get to any garage u 'll see sagamu bus or car the price should be around #600, at there last bus stop at Isale oko U 'll take a bike or another cab to the camp with not more than #100

MissIndependent: Please tell us more about the State and PPA thanks

The state is not bad at all ,as it absorbs the finacial wastes by Lagos state ,so the state is wealthy but somehow fetish, depending on where you were posted to as your ppa

Note: state allowance is #5,000 and will be paid after the whole service year and only to those posted in the government school or firms also if you are posted to the city or any urban area you are mostly likely not to be paid too...but as for those in private firm, your employers will ensure you are well paid.

NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Ikenne
Road, Sagamu Local Government Area,
Sagamu, Ogun State.
