After fasting and praying in part 1 of this series God finally answered my prayer by allowing Nysc to add me to Batch B stream 1.

On getting to camp it was time for registration where we were instructed to present our credentials which includes statement of result, medical report, your license as a medical personnel in other to get a number tag.

You can choose to be in Camp clinic it’s not compulsory but I was glad I did because of several reasons which includes

1. Ability to move freely within the camp

2.Escaping camp activities you find uninteresting

3.Going to camp clinic to charge or sleep very well.

4.And e get some kind Joy way Dey come with been a medical personnel ( when you get there you will know that feeling 😂)

5.Special treatment by the soldiers. ( you still need courage to approach them though)

6.Helping your friends get easy access to clinic facilities ( this one Dey give you respect like mad)

7.Also if you’re taking food from the kitchen you can always skip the line by showing them your ID ( but we had some Nepo Babies among us that their kitchen attendance card was clean. Oga bring that card let me put my passport on it so I can collect round 2 😆)

8.You will also get to make friends with other medical practitioners in the camp clinic ( I enjoyed camp clinic oo everyday is one TikTok challenge to another but when it’s time to work we Dey show workings too)

9.And so on and so forth

Most of this things I mentioned above was made easy by having a Medical Team ID card which will only be giving to you if you choose to work in the camp clinic .

Also with great power comes great responsibilities. As a medical professional be ready to witness different cases which includes

1.Emergencies : I can’t count the number of emergencies we had to attend to. One minute everywhere is calm the next minute chaos everywhere mostly due to corpers fainting while taking part in camp activities. In one word just be alert

2.We also had to act Drama on stage to create awareness ( we acted a drama to create awareness against self medication)

3.Night call duties

The annoying things about camp during my time in it was

1.You can’t sleep well there is always movement , gist , people watching movies, people playing music before you know it’s already morning, that’s why going to camp clinic to sleep when you’re not on duty is important.

2.As a guy you will share bathroom with more than 10 guys because everyone has to vacate the room by 5 am . This made people start taking their bath as early as 1am which is one of the reasons you can’t have a sound sleep because of their movement as early as that. Bathing with such amount of people in proximity became Normal as days went by.

3.Soldier will flex their power by just coming to punish everyone in the room just for the disobedience of a small set of people (fyi there were 1500 people in the hall where we slept , it was not easy to control people)

There were so many things going on in camp that I didn’t mention in this post . In all camp is what you make of it. If you’re friendly towards your fellow corp members they usually return the same energy and it can go the other way it mostly depends on you.

We have come to the end of part 2
