Reminiscence! Reminiscence !! Reminiscence !!! Memories of my orientation camp


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 people like me coming a day before

oh how I remember staying on the long queue to enter camp, to collect foam and materials

How I miss my side bunkie Kemi Fatunde(single then) but now married, my first trip to Mami market 


I remember pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenty things about Orientation camp...

I will gist u all. 

You can also share ur own remembrance and reminisce on the orientation camp events *winks*

How to collect a new posting letter in case of Rejection

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. ...
