20 THINGS YOU MUST NOT FORGET TO TAKE
TO NYSC ORIENTATION CAMP
So Today's post is concerning things you just
cant live without in camp except you intend on
borrowing or stealing?(hmmm) .
1. PHOTOCOPIES OF YOUR DOCUMENTS: just
make up to 10-12 copies of every document
required . There would be photocopiers in
camp at maami market but trust me , it is
double the price and it saves time.
Statement of Result (Original and
Photocopies) , School ID Card (Original and
Photocopies)
2. COPIES OF PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS: This
is very important . from experience i would
say you make up to 30. Reason being that
you would need them at every registration
point mostly. Then those of you who would
likely redeploy , you would need more than
others . It is always advisable to have extra
copies of them too.
3. CALL UP LETTER: This is a vital part of
camp and the only evidence that you are a
corper (otondo) and you are not
impersonating anyone. so if at all you even
forget you luggage (lol) never forget this.
Word of advice —-keep it like its your life, do
not laminate it o. i know someone who was
sent back because she forgot hers. and also
someone who had to beg and beg before his
letter was collected because he laminated
his own copy. So please o avoid all these
stress and make enough copies of this letter
like 15 .
4. STATIONERY :BIRO , PAPER , GLUE, TIPPEX AND STAPLER :Yeah this saves
time and lots of unnecessary begging.
also do not forget to include pins in your
stapler.
5. 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 (3) . Word of advice: do
not carry more than 2 pairs
of colored clothes because you wont need it
.
6. 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 are thick . 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.
7. PLAIN WHITE SNEAKERS/TENNIS SHOES:
This is a very important outfit. you would
also be given a pair of low quality tennis
shoes customized for nysc. Its either you are
not given your size . After the first wash it
starts tearing . So just buy yours. 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 cos they know you have no choice
than to buy.
8. WHITE SOCKS: Just get extra pairs . you
would also be given 2 pairs.
9. A PAIR OF SLIPPERS
10. DETTOL : This is very very essential . firstly
the bathrooms can be very annoying and
dirty and you would not like to have
infection from camp. Bad idea. Also the
water can be dirty.Most people always have
reaction to it.
11. MOSQUITO NET: you would do not want to
fall sick in camp from malaria. Just bring
yours. Also bring ropes you would use to
tie it o. i also used mine as a room to
protect my box and properties from thieves
and also from some insects and ants.
12. OTHERS: Towel , bed sheets Pillow Cases
and A Pillow . you could also get pillow from
mammy market.
13. NOVEL :For those who get bored easily ,
please carry some . And for guys psp or
chess. also iPod and mp3.
14. CASH: extremely important. you would need
between 15000 – 20000 for the extravagant
spenders and for those that can manage say
10000-15000. There are lots of things that
take up money . Things like food(for those
who don’t intend eating camp food) ,
recharge cards, charging of phones ,
pleasures e.t.c
NOTE—- you wont be allowed to leave camp
o. So do not be stranded , trust me not a
good idea.Just budget 1000 per day . You
could carry your ATM incase.
15. ALMIGHTY WAIST POUCH/BAG:Very very
essential . This served as my bank and
locker for important items. Things like
phones, money , id card , keys , ATM cards
e.t.c I even know someone who sleeps with
hers on because of people on the loose to
steal .
20. Bucket, soap dish (buy at the camp site,
don’t stress yourself taking one to the place,
they always sell in the camp).
21. PLATE , BOWL AND CUP: For eating .
Important for those who intend on eating
camp food.
