NYSC orientation Camp

1 March, 2010
Published by admin in Camp Gist

As you are to find out very soon, the NYSC orientation camp is a world on its own. It’s a world, like any other world, strewn with diverse people, graduates of all degrees and kinds and from the largest cities to the remotest of villages.

It’s an expensive world, where you pay for every little thing. In fact, the only thing you don’t pay for is the air you breathe. It is really a test of strength and endurance, and in three weeks, you’ll see you aint as soft as they thought.

You ALWAYS must be careful. There will be among you those willing to take what they didn’t bring, eat what they didn’t pay for, and tell as many lies to get in and out as the case might be. The camp air is filled with din all day and only sleeps when the lights go out at bout 10pm.

The Orientation Broadcast Service (OBS), your camp’s own FM radio station, will make your day with good music and keep you abreast with news. They won’t come to you as they break, but they’ll get to you all the same. The camp clinic will tell you what’s wrong with you, but might not necessarily treat you.

Mammy market will provide your every need in exchange for your every note. Charging your GSM phones, cameras et cetera won’t be free at all. You’ll need to learn how to manage here. Prudence is the key word.

Half of your time on camp will be spent on the parade ground and you’ll have to cope with the rigours of long queues which become a part of your life from now on. These are not to scare you, but they are true. They’ll prepare you for the inevitable. On a lighter note, camp boasts a great deal of fun.

You’ll make new friends, find yourself having fun a lot, eating more than usual(for some), and drinking more than usual(for so many). It becomes a vacation after a while. A place to unwind. The events and games would help in relieving the tension and beguile the time. In no time, the dreaded three weeks will seem too short for all the fun you can catch. It’s a great experience in all.

Gearing Up for Camp

1 March, 2010
Published by admin in Camp Gist

You look set, ready to start trotting to your orientation camp. You need to be sure you are good to go. Leaving for camp and realising you left something behind can be a bad start to the three weeks.

There are some very important items which you definitely would not leave behind. There are some that you might dub unnecessary but you’ll find that they actually are.

Here’s a picture of all you might want to take along; the ones you should and those you shouldn’t.

· Documents: you must appear with all required documents. You must leave none behind as your registration progress could be stunted. Call up letter, statement of result, school identity card (original copies). You might want to go with credentials, birth certificate et cetera in case an offer comes up. But take only photocopies of the latter.

· Clothes: considering you’d be dubbed “white fowl” for the next couple of weeks, taking the best of your closet might not be necessary. You’ll appear on white shirts and white shorts every second on camp ground. You’ll be allowed to wear coloured clothes on sundays till noon. NYSC supplies you with the full kit (2 white shirts, 2 white shorts, 2 pairs of socks and a pair of white sneakers) but you’ll find it a shrewd choice taking an extra supply.

For areas with harsh weather conditions, a thick sweater would be needed to give you warmth.

· Torch Light: a decent torch light would help you and prevent needless groping at night. You’ll need to power them too.

· Waist Pouch: since people are coming to camp en masse, and safety of property cannot be guaranteed, you’ll need a waist pouch. You won’t believe the bond that’ll exist between you both. On the contrary you would, considering its content. The pouch must never leave your waist or on rare occasions, your side.

· Personal Hygiene: you don’t take this with you, duh! You do need the elements though. Your bathing soap, sponge, your toothpaste and toothbrush would be a good idea too. Disinfectant, laundry soap, bucket and whatever keeps you clean.

· Health Pack: the worst place to fall sick is on camp ground. Take with you the basic drugs to fight aches, fevers, diarrhoea. A mosquito net, and probably an insecticide too.

· Provisions: You are entitled to a daily portion of 3-square meals worth N500 for each meal. You might not be able to eat camp food. The long queues before collecting a meal and the worth of your time on the queues after tasting the food tend to kill your desire for any more. However, your financial strength will determine if you can do without camp food or not. Your provisions will come in handy.

Camp food is available three times every day and is never missed. You’ll never have to go hungry on camp.

· Accessories: when the din lessens and you want to pipe down, you could do this with a book, a puzzle, a magazine, music or whatever sets you in the mood. The accessories you carry along must be well kept; they’ll come in handy too.

I don’t know if I have given a very comprehensive list but these will do for starters. Ensure you don’t take electronics or sharp objects, they’ll be confiscated.

Have fun.

Nysc PPA – Place of Primary Assignment

1 March, 2010
Published by admin in Camp Gist

PPA is the acronym for Place of Primary Assignment. The point where you receive your letter to your place is actually the beginning of your service year. The posting letters are given out after the passing out parade on the last day of camp. It is at this point your plans for the next eleven months start trotting the open fields of your mind.

Places of primary assignments range from schools to local government offices, from large multinationals to government parastatals, from small companies to personal companies. Almost anywhere can be a primary assignment. You’d be expected to work your socks off, but never transcend or descend into slavery.

Corps members are expected to report to their duty posts, and commence work ASAP. They must be accepted at these places for duty to commence. In any contrary case, the corps member is re-posted by NYSC. If the corps member has a letter from a company, he/she could be posted there. There’s a deadline for acceptance. So this has to be done a little pronto.

You’ll be required to clear monthly. The clearance indicates you’ve worked for the month and are entitled to the rather meagre stipend from NYSC. It is your boss at your post that will be responsible for issuing this clearance. It is a world of problems if you miss clearance for a month, don’t miss it.

The programme is for eleven months and not a full calendar year. Passing-out is usually about 3 weeks before the one year date expires. To exemplify the latter sentence, if you arrived camp in July 2009, you’d be looking at passing-out in June 2010.
