Below are the UNNECESSARY THINGS PEOPLE TAKE TO
NYSC and things you do not need in camp
- MATTRESS: Camp would provide that for
everyone, so you don t have to take any there. It would be excess
luggage and in most camps if you meet the wrong or maybe hungry (lol)
officials it would be seized.
- CUTLERY: You might be surprised but
yes, they seize them except spoons. Knives, fork and even metal spoons
are seized because it is believed that otondo use them for negative
things. …………
- SOPHISTICATED GADGETS Things
like iPad galaxy tab, laptop etc. . These attract thieves and they are
not necessary. In my previous post I said that you could take psp ,
games and novels in case you get bored.
In fact for those who have blackberries, you do not need others. You
could just take a smartphone to camp. At least the lesser you carry, the
better for you to watch. It reduces the likelihood of it being stolen
or misplaced or damaged.
- BIG/EXCESS LUGGAGE: There is no need to
stress yourself in carrying things you won’t need. When you are
packing, ensure you check my previous post on what to
take.
Those are necessities o. Also on your first day, you would have to be
moving around with your luggage and God help you if yours is heavy. hmmm
this is where OYO (on your own) wakes up. If you get the top bunk, you
might not have space to store said suitcase. Think it’ll attract
thieves. The more it looks like you have, the higher the chances you’ll
be targeted for theft.
- PRESSING IRON: It would be seized from
you and won’t get it back till camp is over. Also, most camps don’t have
sockets in the rooms and some don’t even have electricity in the rooms
allocated for corper.
- FOOD FLASK: During my time, it was
useless to me because I didn’t eat camp food. I fed on almighty mammy
food. lol . But when I got to camp, I did buy one but it ended up being
useless to me.
- CAR: Why on earth would you take your
car to camp? Are you trying to impress babes (for the guys) or oppress
the officials?? It is not necessary. Some very strict camps would send
you away or your tires would be deflated. It could be at a risk of being
stolen.
- Boiling ring, iron, cutlery (don’t ask.)
