Vital Things You Must Take With You to The NYSC Orientation Camp

As you get ready for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Orientation Camp, you should have these basic materials to make your stay in camp easy.

Copies of your Documents

You should have up to 10-12 duplicates of each record required. There would be scanners in camp – at the Mami market however, the cost might be more than you’d ordinarily expect.

Duplicates Of passport photographs

This is significant. You should endeavor to have at least 20 copies. Reason being that you would require them at each enlistment point generally. All through your stay in camp, a need for passport photographs will always arise.

Call up Letter

This is an essential document for every corper. It is the main proof that you are a genuine corps member. Without it, you probably won’t even get anywhere near the Camp, so you better have it handy. 

Writing materials

A lot of what goes on at the orientation camp is still analog and hence you’d need writing materials. Pen, paper, pencils, and the basic things you’d want to have on your first day in school.

Round-necked White T-Shirts

This is a basic outfit in camp. Truth be told, in many camps, this is the simply affirmed uniform to be worn all through your 3 weeks. Indeed, even to chapel, you probably won’t be permitted to wear hued materials. You would be given 2 sets of white T-shirts in camp which would never be enough for the duration of three weeks. The quality is also suspect, so you will be best served to come along with yours.

White Shorts

Come along with two additional white shorts, you would be given 2 sets of shorts which are truly poor in material. They tear easily and might not fit you properly.

Plain White Sneakers/Tennis Shoes

These are significant outfits. You would be given a couple of bad quality sneakers, that is, NYSC altered. It is possible that you are not given your size or it very well may be torn. They sell this in camp on the off chance that you can’t get, you could purchase in camp.

White Socks

Just get additional sets. You would likewise be given 2 sets in camp.

Dettol

This is incredibly basic. Right off the bat, the washrooms can be irritating and grimy and you might not want to get an infection. Some of the orientation camps are in good condition but to be on the safer side get in there with some antiseptic soaps and disinfectant.

Mosquitto Net

The stress of the orientation camp is tasking enough, you don’t want malaria added to your worries. Do well to come along with treated mosquito nets.

Torchlight/ Rechargeable Lamps

Electricity remains a major problem in most parts of Nigeria. Come along with a rechargeable source of light, they will come in handy toward the beginning of the day while planning for morning drills and at night time.

$20K, ₦400m mansion, other lavish gifts Peller and Jarvis received for wedding

The wedding of TikTok stars Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, and Elizabeth Amadou, better known as Jarvis, was filled with memorable moments. Beyond the glamorous outfits, celebrity guests, and cultural displays, it was the extravagant gifts presented to the newlyweds that became one of the biggest talking points.

Even before the wedding day, gifts had already started pouring in, while several admirers promised to present theirs during the ceremony. Peller’s longtime TikTok supporter, Gregory, kicked off the celebrations with a generous wedding gift of $20,000.

Gregory travelled to Nigeria specifically for the wedding and expressed excitement about being part of the occasion. Speaking during the event, he also revealed his interest in investing in Nigeria. “I can’t relocate, but Peller and Peller are going to work on some investment opportunities in Nigeria. One of the things that I really wanna do is open a school here. Hopefully we can do it; that would be my dream

One of the biggest surprises of the day came from Delta based billionaire Mohammed Ochacho, who presented the couple with a mansion worth ₦400 million in Lifecamp, Abuja.

While announcing the gift, the businessman explained that his children encouraged him to make the presentation. “On behalf of my children, I am presenting a brand new house for you worth ₦400 million in Lifecamp, Abuja.”

The gesture came just days after Peller met Ochacho at music executive Soso Soberekon’s event. During that meeting, the billionaire introduced the content creator to some of his associates and had earlier promised him 10 cows as part of his wedding gifts. Peller later jokingly called him out for not fulfilling that promise before the mansion was eventually unveiled.

In June 2026, Peller proposed to Jarvis during a private beachside ceremony at La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Ghana

Just weeks later, he paid her bride price during a traditional introduction ceremony in Edo State, after which they had a court wedding.

I Want to start acting in Movies – Davido reveals

Davido

Speaking in a recent interview with Vibe Q, the Afrobeat superstar said he has already executive-produced two movies but wants to get more involved in the film industry.

The singer also disclosed that he has shot a documentary, which will be released soon.

“I want to get into movies. I want to start acting soon. I have invested in two movies already as an executive producer. I also have a documentary coming. It is very very big. And yeah, I do want to act at some point in the future,” he said.

Davido noted that music is innovative like technology, adding that artists need to keep evolving and exploring.

“God has blessed me with an amazing career and fans. I wouldn’t ask for another type of career. Music is what I love and music evolves just like technology.

“There’s always a new sound, a new creative idea and a new way to tell your story,” the singer stated.

Speaking on his career so far and his future in a recent episode of The Vibe podcast, the father of six explained that he won’t encourage any of his children to do music is because of his own experience.

He revealed that his second daughter, Hailey Veronica Adeleke, is already leaning towards music and has a good voice but he’s skeptical about supporting her.

“I don’t want any of my children to pursue music. My second daughter [Hailey] is already leaning towards music. She is the life of the party. She behaves just like me. She actually has a good voice.

“But I know what I went through. Can you go through what I go through? Knowing what I have been through, I’m skeptical about encouraging any of my children to do music,” he said.

Davido, however, added, “But because my parents and my family eventually allowed me chase me dreams, I would never want to block any of my children from chasing their dreams. And if they are good, why not?”

My mum is my God, my dad is my God’ — 9ice

Singer 9ice has sparked debate after saying his parents are his “God” and rejecting other deities, months after revealing he has practised as a Babalawo for 18 years.

9ice is once again at the centre of online debate after declaring that his parents, not any deity, occupy the highest spiritual place in his life.

In a video posted to his Instagram on Sunday, the artist said: “Today I’ll tell you something I don’t really talk about, but I’ll talk today. I love my mum, I love my dad, my god is my mum, my father is my god.” He went further in the comments, clarifying that the reverence typically reserved for an unseen God should instead be directed at one’s parents.

The singer didn’t stop there. “I don’t believe in inferior Gods,” he added, distancing himself from the worship of any other spiritual beings and insisting his belief system doesn’t fit neatly into traditional religious structures.

Predictably, the internet had thoughts, and most of them weren’t kind. A large chunk of reactions accused him of being under the influence of something, with many dismissing the statement outright rather than engaging with it.

This isn’t 9ice’s first brush with this kind of controversy, and that’s part of why the latest clip spread as fast as it did. Back in April, he went viral for a different but related rant, this time aimed squarely at Nigeria’s religious culture.

“You’ll leave Nigeria and go to Mecca to go and lick rock all in the name of Kabba,” he said then, arguing that decades of national prayer hadn’t translated into national progress. He compared Nigeria’s work ethic unfavourably to London’s, joking that between church on Sunday, Bible study on Wednesday and vigil on Friday, “when would you work?”

Some Nigerians found merit in his earlier point about productivity versus performative religiosity. Far fewer have extended that same patience to his spiritual claims, with both the Babalawo reveal and now this parental-deity comparison landing mostly as fodder for mockery rather than genuine reflection.
