Nominated for a Liebster Award
Hiya friends!
Yaaaaaaaaaay, people in camp are leaving today/tomorrow!!!!!!! I hope everyone had an okay to good time in camp. I've been stalking different NYSC/Corper Twitter accounts via my account (@Berrychocolatte). I'll post up some interesting tweets soon.
So I was nominated for a Liebster Award! I've seen one or two go around, so I was excited to be included! It's basically a 'Getting to Know You' type of thing, and I hope everyone enjoys it. The rules and the premise of a Liebster Award are as follows:

NYSC Camp Review: Ogun State
Hi friends!
I've borrowed another review from my girl at Review Naija. This time, it's the Ogun State camp that the corper wrote about. I'm sorry but the Toilets part is just GROSS!!! DEEZGOSTEEN!
Anyways, as usual, if you want to read directly from the source, click HERE.
Hello everyone, this is Paul Anderson reporting from Ogun state!! Yes, I underwent my three weeks NYSC orientation course at Shagamu, Ogun state. It was my first time visiting the State too. I picked up my call-up letter from the NYSC secretariat in Lagos and started preparing for camp almost immediately, as I had a week to get my stuff together. The annoying thing about preparing for the camp is that you'll hear different stories about what to bring and so on. I actually made 16 photocopies of my certificate, transcript and call-up letter but at the end of the day I only used two photocopies of each document. But, aye, it's better to be safe than sorry ... so make as many copies as you deem necessary.

Style Post! Re-using your NYSC kit :)
Hello berryful gals n guys!
How's everyone doing? The new batch of corpers have been in camp for 1 week now - I hope everyone's faring well.
Today, I wanted to show you how I've reused different things from my NYSC kit - the white shorts, my belt, and even the jacket. I didn't throw everything away - the boots are still sitting in my car trunk - but some of the items can be worn with everyday wear. So take a look and be inspired :)

2013 Batch A Orientation Camp starts tomorrow!
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
OMG, I totally thought March 5th was next week - blame the cough/cold that's refused to leave me since last week. Awww, it's time for the new batch of corpers to report to their various orientation camps starting from tomorrow. I just want to wish everyone of you the absolute best! Try and have fun with it. It's "just" 21 days and it'll be over before you know it... after you've screamed and cursed the very soul of NYSC at least once or twice.
Don't forget to read up on the following posts. They'll give you a much clearer picture of what to expect.
