Topic: WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP AFTER YOUR NYSC?

What's The next step after NYSC...............Am a batch A corp member serving in Edo State....i av read 2ru all d contributn about saving or no saving.well,all goods and fine.But by this time one is still xpectin miracle to happen without adequate preparation,one is a faillure already.i could rememba when we were at the orietation programme organised for new batch A corp member that is we 2008,our AI mention something that surprised me,she said 4rm d look of things,corp member believe in themeselve dt they are at the top already not consider what will happen next,she said,if the allawee increased to #1m,corp member will not save even a dinne,to be sincere ,some corp member are in money collecting a mthly allawee ranging 4rm #20,000 to #52,000 xpecially those that are serving in Banks,But what surprised is that they are the one normally complain b4 mth end.u can imagin a corp member furnished his appartment with all xpensive gadget all on mdgage which they pald as the money comes in,and for we collectig stipence,Gloly be to God.if those that are collecting Big money Canot save what about we that are collecting stipence?
The Bible said one should be as wise as a serpent and humble as dove.my fellow corp member,no matter what the situation my be,i think we can turn the challengies we face to opportunity by adequate planning 4 ourslve.no matter what u are collecting one must invest in capacity building,this will form part of ur skill acquisition after the service year,this av help me a lot during the corpers week of batch B ,being a photographer,i Snap pix and make my money,anyone can do it even U.i could remember some years ago about the bumb blast at ikeja military cantoment where many lives were lost,while some were sympathising,some people were busy snaping,recording videos and people mak momey.after a week calender,almanac musik,home video started coming out which make people millionaire.
As a future Orieted corp member,i think if we plan very well,our situation will be better of,if we decided to affect other peoples lives possitively,God will open way.So if u are in a good possition to av a savings..........Good luck and if we are not previledge to mak savings all is wel,but what matter is what u bcom after the service year cos no body is planning for u.i will like to stop here.my no is 08036110024,e-mail[email protected],asrodam.blogspoto.com is under construction about my NYSC EXPERIENCE.
Best regards

groom urself, pray 2 God and get a job/ a business. i know it's not that simple

Wao! a lot has been said on d topic, "AFTER SERVICE, WHAT'S NEXT". I'm a batch B 2008/09 corp member serving in Rivers state were corpers are doomed to the classroom irrespective of d quaification and this is against the section 9, subsections 1-6 of the NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE CORP DECREE (DECREE 51). I made a refrence to this bcos i was in search for the justification for condemning us to the intolerant community schools to waste a yr of their lives nt ours, and came about the decree for this whole shit!! scheme.

Addressing the matter from our own point of view as corper in rivers where our FG alawee is being paid at d middle of every other month and the state alawee being paid at d end of service year, how do dey expect us to cope wdis way? of course,borrow as much as u can from bouyant colleagues nd pay back maybe when u get paid. So somebody, tell me how u want to save something of d earnings, to make matters worse everything in rivers is expensive nd i av never seen such in any part of Nigeria. Imagine, a place called "d treasure base of d nation" were nigeria's major source of income lies(Crude Oil), In d village of my PPA we buy a litre of petrol for #150 to pump water for domestic use. I was almost beaten up by the so called useless youths of dis community that don't know against whom to sheathe their cutlasses nd knifes and once u're a stranger u will be seen as a usurper, u know.

It's gud to say u can keep accruing work experience during dis period, but what is d faith of someone who is forced to accrue teaching experience that wouldnt be useful for him/her in his/her career? Well, we still thank GOD that d state alawee is kept 4 us till end of service year and i think now is d time to ponder over what to do with d money which is in range of 55k-110k and if anyone here has an advice on wht one might possibly invest in something like financial intelligence, i'lld really appreciate it.

Thanks all!!

You know what?? I'M LOVING THIS FORUM!!! Coincidentally, the author of this post was a very good friend of mine at Unilag, when we were in Diploma II... i think that was in 2003 (though this is still subject to confirmation from him). Its good that issues as this are brought up and thrown open on the floor. Very good. Big ups, Chinexannex.
