"Corpers wee oh" That's one of the new address system you are going to have when you get to the orientation camp. Registration starts on the first day(Tuesday) to the third day (Thursday), which is the swearing in ceremony,  after this day, registration will officially close on camp. So please I will advise you to go early and register to avoid missing your service year. Registration starts at the gate, and there they will ransack all your bags and so if you have take along fork, iron, knive or any sharp object, that is where they will collect it. Try and go early to avoid long queue like this Kaiama, Bayelsa state orientation camp   This is me in 2011 when I was an otondo like u                  so hurry up now as a new copa and do your registration. For your registration proper, read here on the documents you need to have handy.  I will be back tomorrow for what to expect on camp - part 2. And don't forget to share this with your friends now. Just

Once you are through at the gate, you will be taken to another point for proper registration. Registration is the first and most important thing at the orientation camp, just like at any other place. At the registration venue, you are expected to provide the following things: Official NYSC Camp Requirements : 1. Your final year Student ID Card 2. Notification of Result from your School (Original and Photocopies) 3. Passport Photograph (Take as many copy as you can but you will only need a few) 4. Your original call-up letter (This will be taken and not returned to you, take photocopies along too) The forms that will be handed to you and attach your passport are very easy to fill. Fill them correctly, because if you make mistakes on your name spelling, you will have BIG Problems with your Discharge Letter. After your registration, you will be issued with your State Code Number. This will be like your PIN throughout your Service Year. After you have been given your State Code

Read it below: S/NO Event Date 1 Pre-Mobilisation Workshop 20th August, 2013  2 Registration of Foreign-trained Nigerian Graduates 12th August - 11th October, 2013  3 Submission of Masterlist.

Rejection is expected from your PPA. Depending on your PPA, you can either be accepted or rejected. Once you are rejected, please don’t be dejected. All you need to do is take the rejection letter to the Zonal Office as the case may be and you will posted to a new PPA. Causes of rejection 1.    Your PPA feels they don’t need your expertise or course of study. For example, if you study physics/electronic and you are posted to a commercial high school where they major in commercial related courses, they will obviously not take you or you study business admin and you are posted to a technical school to teach, they will not take you. 2.    Your PPA already have enough corpers Let’s say your PPA is a growing organization now, and they have a target of just 5 corpers per batch. If you come as the 6th corper, because they have reached their maximum number, they will not be able to take you. 3.    Your employer does not think you can work with them. 4.    You can ask to be rejected. The NYSC h

Corpers wee oh, welcome back from 3 weeks orientation camp course which signaled the beginning of your service year. As you have learnt on camp, the NYSC service year has 4 cardinal programmes which are: I.    Orientation Camp II.    Primary Assignment III.    Community Development Service IV.    Winding out Events/Passing out You have successfully finished the orientation camp which is the first cardinal program, and I believe that in the camp you have been grounded on what to do in your places of Primary Assignment.

The steps are listed below: I.    Report to your Place of Primary Assignment(PPA) The first thing to do immediately after leaving orientation camp is to report at your place of primary assignment.

Exactly one year that I passed out of NYSC service today. Glory be to God Almighty

Exactly one year today that I won.To the Glory of God, I won state honorary awards for best serving corps members and its really amazing. I got a call late Tuesday evening that I should prepare myself for the Dinner programme that is organised by the state for passing out corps members. So on the D-day, June 13th 2012, I went to the Gloryland cultural center where the dinner was taking place. After the cultural display, talks, the arrival of the Governor who was represented by the Secretary to the Bayelsa State Government, Prof. Edmund Allison Oguru, and other commissioners, the award and price giving started. The awards were called in reverse order. They started from Local Government Chairman Award - the Yenagoa City council Mayor gave this State Honorary award- presented by Secretary to the Bayelsa State Government, Prof. Edmund Allison Oguru.

Dear prospective corps member, as you are going for service, you need to take the following as you will need them for your camp activities: A pair of white of sneakers A waist bag Two T-Shirts Two pairs of shorts Mosquito Nets   A bucket for bathing Towel Soap and Soap dish Food and beverage flask     Jacket for those posted in cold regions   Cash for expenses Torch light Spoon ( NO FORK or KNIFE pls)   Some of these items would be provided at the camps by NYSC, yet its wise to have your personal belongings as against inconveniences. Feel free to add more things to these as far as your convenience demands. Its good when you have these things already, so that your cash will last on camp.  I will upload the pictures of these mentioned items and more. I wish you a wonderful and hitch free service year. 

The 2012 Batch B of the NYSC programme is passing out tomorrow 6th June, 2013 and this got me thinking seriously...... My thoughts.... How many of them will get their desired job as they pass out? How many of them will be disappointed by so-called uncles and aunties who had promised to give them job once they are through with service? How many of them will be roaming about the street for the next one year? My thoughts are so much that I need your input here: What do you think can be the solution to Unemployment in Nigeria? And if you are passing out tomorrow, which one would you prefer - Job or Business? Please kindly leave your comments as this is the beginning of ...
