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. Now that you are out of the camp, what are the steps to take? 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. If peradventure, your PPA is far from your orientation camp, go to the community for the night and settle down and the following morning, go ...

Recently, a friend of mine told me his young brother is going for service and it got me thinking all about orientation camp, my service year, and NYSC all over again. Seriously, I actually miss some people I met at the Orientation camp. So as I started thinking about the advice to give my friends brother, memories just flood my brain and i start remembering.  I remembered collecting my call up letter and my neighbours calling me otondo and me boarding a bus at Jibowu on thate fateful monday morning, July 4th, 2011 to Kaima orientation camp and sitting down in the bus for 8 hours before they dropped us at Kaiama camp. I remembered meeting my first NYSC friend in the vehicle as we were not the only otondos in the bus but it is just two of us posted to bayelsa state. I remembered how sellers bombarded us immediately we droped from the bus with mosquito nets, bucket, food flask, cup, bowls . . . I remembered as I got to the camp and was shocked to find a lot of ...

I never knew personal CDS projects could be this tasking. I started one of them on tuesday 13th March, 2012 and that one is  " Organising a free training on how to start internet business for Batch ‘A’ corp members at orientation camp." It has not beeen easy teaching graduates though, but God is helping me. Soonest i'll be on my way to Kaiama for today's classs. See you later.  

TUESDAY 5TH 2011 This is supposed to be the camp official opening day. Anyway since I've started my registration I had less to do.   But it was not so for people who came late or will just be coming today.

The camp is supposed to be officialy opened on July 5th, 2011, but you know for some" ITK's" like me we came on July 4th. So my nysc year and events actually starts from July 4th. I left the big city of Lagos for Delta/ Rivers state in the morning around 8:30 am. I was actually posted to Bayelsa state and the camp was located at  Kaiama Grammar School, K aiama, Kolokuma/Opokuma L.G.A. That sound tongue twisting abi, that was actually how I felt going to such place.

You are welcome to my world. This is my NYSC diary where I intend to try to capture the events of each day from orientation programme to passing out parade(POP)from NYSC. Waoh-that's a strategic plan because the service year is one (1) whole long year. For a start my plan is to record my day to day activities at the orientation camp. So keep on reading and following.
