HOW TO CHOOSE

It's no new news that the new policy of the NYSC which started from 2016 Batch A orientation course now allows every corps member to choose 4 States of their choices to serve their father land which one of the chosen 4 states would be selected at random by the NYSC management. This is how to make the selection:

1 state from the NC zone

1 state from either NE or NW zones

1  state from either SE or SS zones

1 state from the SW zone. Thank you.

 ‪PART 1:

Official NYSC Camp Registration Requirements:

1. CALL UP LETTER: This is a vital part of camp registration and the only evidence that you are a prospective corps member

(colloq. Corper, or Otondo) and you are

not impersonating anyone. This will be

taken from and not returned to you. So if at all you even forget you luggage never forget this.

Tip: Since many will choose the N4,000

option to print online, do try to use a café with laser jet printers and not DeskJet.

Why? Documents printed with DeskJets are more susceptible to water/moisture damage. Just to be on a safer side and you should do this with any document you intend to keep for a very long time. If you can’t find a LaserJet, use anyone.

Tip: DO NOT LAMINATE IT! And keep it like its your life. I know someone who was sent back because she forgot hers. Also someone who had to beg and beg before his letter was collected because he laminated his own copy. So please avoid all these stress and make enough copies of this letter.

Tip: Remember you can REPRINT your

Call-Up letter online if subscribed

(N4,000) to that option.

2. Registration Documents: If you’re a

foreign graduate, take along the original credentials you uploaded (to the NYSC Portal) for physical verification / evaluation. >> The List here

3. Green Card: It contains your bio-data. Print and bring along your signed copy.

4. Final Year Student IDENTITY CARD

5. Notification/STATEMENT OF RESULT from School.

6. PHOTOCOPIES OF YOUR DOCUMENTS:

Now make about 10 copies of every

document required. There would be

photocopiers in camp at mammy market but trust me, it is double the price and it saves time.

7. PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS: This is very important. Take as many as you can, about 20 in red backgrounds. You would need them for different kinds of registration. e.g, skill acquisition groups, religious groups, sports, redeployment, bank account opening e.t.c

8. My CLEAR BAG: You’ll need to put the aforementioned in a portable envelope/ bag that can withstand some amount of wear/tear. Hence, My Clear Bag.

Tip: The forms that will be handed to you are very easy to fill. Attach your passport where necessary and fill them correctly. After your registration, you will be issued

with your State Code Number. This will be like your PIN throughout your Service Year.

PART 2:

9.  CERTIFICATES/LICENSES: For Doctors, Pharmacists, Nurses & Lab Scientists, take along your proof of certification. Graduates of Medicine and Pharmacy are expected to have their Certificates of Registration with Nigerian Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (NMDCN) and

Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN)

respectively.

10. STATIONERY: PEN, PAPER, GUM. This saves time and lots of unnecessary begging.

Tip: Some camps do seize staplers at the gate during check-in. But do not forget to include pins in your stapler if you still decide to take it along.

You will be given a meal ticket that gives you access to the Camp kitchen for the 21 days. Lose it and you have to feed yourself. Even if you do not intend to use it, you will come across someone who would appreciate the kind gesture.

Tip: After getting your NYSC State Code Number (which you have to wear around your neck all through camp with your ID card), you can proceed to claim your NYSC Kit and Mattress after which you can proceed to get a Room. After you have gotten your kit and secured a place in the hostels, you can settle down and you are good to go to start the Military parades.

Now, Your NYSC kit should contain 1

NYSC Crested Vest, A pair of Khaki

Trousers, Cap and Jacket, 2 White T-

shirts, 2 Pairs of Knickers, 2 pairs of

green-stripped Stockings, A Pair of

Orange Jungle Boots and One Pair of

White Converse. A “Belt” is also included.

PART 3:

DAILY NEEDS:

11. 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 (6).

Why? Because you probably wont have

time to wash during the week after being stressed out from the parades and Man- O-War drills.

Tip: Do not carry more than 2 pairs of

colored clothes because you wont need

them.

12. 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 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.

13. PLAIN WHITE SNEAKERS/TENNIS

SHOES: This is a very important outfit. you would also be given an ugly pair of low quality white tennis shoes

customized for NYSC. It’s either you are not given your size although you can find someone with your size and swap. But after the first wash it starts tearing. So just buy yours (white). 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 – as with everything in Mammy – because they know you haveno choice than to buy. Now, If you

happen to camp during the rainy season (Batch ‘B’ & ‘C’), get white rubber sneakers/boots especially if you’re posted to the Southern part of the country (esp. the South South. Read, Bayelsa). 

The parade fields/mammy market will be messed up after the rains. You will get this in camp. Rubber boots in action. Kaiama Camp, Bayelsa. Batch ‘B’ 2013

14. WHITE SOCKS: Just get extra pairs.

15. PADLOCKS: [BRING or BUY from

Mammy] Please lock your boxes and

bags to avoid regrets and tears. I know someone who lost more than 5 items including his two phones – like he’s the only one in camp.

16. WAIST POUCH: /Fanny pack/Bum bag (or for the more fashion-conscious, a cross-body purse). The bum bags are more popular because they won’t bang against you when you’re active and your hands are free to do whatever. You need it to carry your money, phone, small valuables, pens, etc around with you at all

times. You should sleep with it too.

17. MOSQUITO TREATED NET: You would do not want to fall sick in camp from malaria and miss out on the fun. Just bring yours. Also bring ropes you would use to hang it. The nets usually have these. I also used mine as a room to protect my box and properties from thieves and also from some insects and ants.

18. BASIC DRUGS: Like paracetamol,

medicine for your allergies, menstrual

pain relief drug, nausea relief drugs,

antibiotics e.t.c. The camp clinic is

sometimes inadequately s tocked with

drugs so help yourself.

11. 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 (6).

Why? Because you probably wont have

time to wash during the week after being stressed out from the parades and Man- O-War drills.

Tip: Do not carry more than 2 pairs of

colored clothes because you wont need

them.

12. 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 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.

13. PLAIN WHITE SNEAKERS/TENNIS

SHOES: This is a very important outfit. you would also be given an ugly pair of low quality white tennis shoes

customized for NYSC. It’s either you are not given your size although you can find someone with your size and swap. But after the first wash it starts tearing. So just buy yours (white). 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 – as with everything in Mammy – because they know you haveno choice than to buy. Now, If you

happen to camp during the rainy season (Batch ‘B’ & ‘C’), get white rubber sneakers/boots especially if you’re posted to the Southern part of the country (esp. the South South. Read, Bayelsa). 

The parade fields/mammy market will be messed up after the rains. You will get this in camp. Rubber boots in action. Kaiama Camp, Bayelsa. Batch ‘B’ 2013

14. WHITE SOCKS: Just get extra pairs.

15. PADLOCKS: [BRING or BUY from

Mammy] Please lock your boxes and

bags to avoid regrets and tears. I know someone who lost more than 5 items including his two phones – like he’s the only one in camp.

16. WAIST POUCH: /Fanny pack/Bum bag (or for the more fashion-conscious, a cross-body purse). The bum bags are more popular because they won’t bang against you when you’re active and your hands are free to do whatever. You need it to carry your money, phone, small valuables, pens, etc around with you at all

times. You should sleep with it too.

17. MOSQUITO TREATED NET: You would do not want to fall sick in camp from malaria and miss out on the fun. Just bring yours. Also bring ropes you would use to hang it. The nets usually have these. I also used mine as a room to protect my box and properties from thieves and also from some insects and ants.

18. BASIC DRUGS: Like paracetamol,

medicine for your allergies, menstrual

pain relief drug, nausea relief drugs,

antibiotics e.t.c. The camp clinic is

sometimes inadequately s tocked with

drugs so help yourself.
