From Toronto to Osun state

On the back of the letter, it gives a bit of instruction and says what to bring to camp with you. I'll summarize:

1) Registration in camp is only for the first 2 days so get there on the first or the second day unless u got the right connect but look what happened to me. Lol. (Needless to say that I was promised to be posted to Lagos by the most influential person in charge of mobilization at the NYSC office but my connect failed me).

2) Original statement of result; even though they already verified at the initial time of registration. I'll be taking my Diploma and transcripts(originals and photocopies)
FYI: They ask for a bit more from doctors and pharmacists or optometrists

3) Institution identity (guessing that means your student card)

4) 8 passport photographs but according to the other blogs I've read, they suggest that you bring a bit extra so I'm gonna bring 10 with me.

5) Pillow and bed sheet sets, mosquito netting, plates, cups, cutlery(which I read they take from you at the gate :s), bucket and a torch light

6) Foreign students must bring their international passport for verification.

Being from outta town, I have packed a few extra items. You can borrow my ideas.

Off(mosquito repellant), toilet set coverings(hopefully there will be a toilet seat to cover), travel size toothpaste, panty liners(I assume there will be plenty of sweating all over), peppermint feet cooling gel(after all the marching), 10 pairs of white socks, 7 white t-shirts, q-tips, white sneakers, hand sanitizer, polysporin, body wash, all my ugly and old underwear and bras (apparently people be stealing panties and I got some real cute ones I can't afford to part with), my Gucci pouch(to put my fones and money (which I will tuck into my pillowcase while I sleep every night), some sleeveless sleeping clothes(I heard about the correlation between mosquito netting and heat), some shorts and tank tops. Gonna bring some casual clothes just in case. Maybe like 2 outfits. A pair of sunglasses, bathroom slippers and sandals and of course 2 towels and my other personal effects.

I went the extra mile with white tees and sneakers because I heard most of the uniforms and shoes are usually oversized and I don't wanna look like krusty the klown.

And I suggest a simple hairstyle for the ladies. I'm rocking an all back Ghana weaving.

Next post will be from Osun state.
