Shortly afterwards, the P. R. O sounded the time at which corp members were expected to move. At about 4:30pm, Batch A corp members in 1/7, that is NYsc cap on mufty, moved into action.

The Duty of A Corper.

Golden rays of the eastern sunlight Brushes through my half awakened face with soft caresses of warmness
It is yet another dawn in Nembe city
The kitchens are warming up again pans and spoons collide in oneness footfall ascend and descend the walkways
In a bid to break the long night fast
The crowing of the cock is long forgotten
The blowing of the bugle and whistles as well
But the school bell would never hesitate to ring
Tick, tick says the clock, compatriots be on the watch
And soon the assemblies Nexted by classes
In nurture of the young the rising stars
whips lashing and voices echoing instructions
It is the duty we are called for
The duty of a corper.

LATEST UPDATE ON NYSC RELOCATION REQUIRMENTS

Although it is blinding on every corps member to render his /her selfless service in any past of the country where he is posted, Relocation can be granted if one fits into or meets the following requirements.

•    The corps member must be either married or pregnant and she must present her marriage certificate.
•         Relocation is granted if a corps member has a serious health condition which requires regular check –up.
• 
  

NOTE: The corps member must present a valid medical report issued by a state or Teaching Hospital from his/her state of origin that is endorsed by a medical Doctor.

Furthermore it is more reassuring to know that NYSC is easily granted within four to six months of your reporting to your place of primary Assignment (PPA) owning  to the fact that NYSC tend to pay more attention on the upcoming next batch ‘s PPAs and welfare than of those who are already serving.

So with the above listed criteria there is nothing to worry about. If the initial application for relocation was not granted you can try a second time and by God’s grace it will work.

THE DEPARTURE OF BATCH B CORP MEMBERS

A few days before the 6th of October 2016, the batch B stream I corp members had washed their stoves and cooking utensils, cleaned their bags and packed them preparing for the long awaited day to arrive.The walls of the common room passage of the corpers lodge had been plastered with white sheets of paper where each displayed eulogies/ panegyrics free hand drawing, farewell poems and good wishesTo the departing corp members .Men had written from the depth of their hearts, expressing their thoughts and feeling towards the Batch B corp members making known to them how greatly they would be missed.

Eventually, the day came .At  about 6:05am  three eighteen seater bus arrived the Nembe city Ogbolomambiri corpers lodge hug gage rolled out to greet them as all thirsty corp members kitted in 6/7moved out with joy to join the buses. Only then did all really realize that it wasn’t a dream. They were actually leaving. Smiles went sour and eyes dripped with tears. The Batch A corp members all stood around the buses until they would all fill up lingering hugs followed quick exchange of motion; the Batch A corp members sadly chorused and waved goodbye and safe journey to the Batch Bs all reciprocated in one accord.

Among the left behind Batch A corp members many wept and screamed in loud voices, both real and faked. All the same the difference was clear as the corpers lodge become cold and scanty. A few corpers eventually lamented over the lodge’s immediate quietness and indeed were sorry that the Batch Bs actually had to go.

Frankly speaking, this event marked a necessary end for a new dawn in the lives of the Batch B corp members who stepped their foot on the soil of Nembe city some eleven months before as nothing but “Gentlemen corp members on National Assignment” most of them had served in the education sector, giving them the privilege to impact to the younger generation as well as gain the experience of the tutorship, independence and separation from family and friends.

The NYSC Scheme has really achieved much in promoting inter-tribal integration among and real life exposure to the Nigerian youths after leaving the confines of the ivory walls systematically introducing them to “adulthood” and the responsibility that surrounds it in the larger society. Many thanks to NYSC.

NEMBE CORP MEMBERS MEET THE KING OF NEMBE KINGDOM

AT NEMBE KINGDOM HALL

Youth ever taking heed to the clarion call

 In his sharp terrors voice cried the public relation officer.

Attention!  Attention!!  Attention!!! All ear alert

Shall we heed this majesty’s invitation!

So we marched flying off our prestigious head dressing

With so much adoration admirers turned to look

As we arrived in the midst of dames and nobles

In a sixteen feet tall and many meters wide building

Decked with historical educative works of art

At the platform sat the chiefs high and lofty

Richly clad in their colorful indigenous dresses

Gongs and drums laid neatly on the floor aside

Awaiting the touch of the melodious music makers

Seated forward in khaki were the erudite organization delegates

From the heart of northern Nigeria they had journeyed

With a rare victual of honor conferment prepared for the king

The daughters of the land cheerful faced

In immaculate white blouses and double wrappers

Head gears dazzled like young egrets in motion

We settled to await the arrival of his eminence

And boom! The music went off with the king in sight

The sceptre and flag went before him and their bearers

All arose in honor of the distinguish guest

Clothed in fine near scarlet royal attire

With a rich red head dress signifying his highness

Chains of bead dangled down his neck covering his chest

Head hoary and face placed the nature of a sage

The speaker announced the entrance of the king and others

And his titles read off in voice unwavering

Dr Edmund M. Dogaura Mingi the XII Amanyanabo of Nembe kingdom

Former Minister of petroleum Resource Nigeria

Former Chairman of OPEC West Africa

Epitome of excellence, a youth motivator

Applauses hesitated not to follow each declaration

Young erudite delegate in his well fitting khaki

Stood to unveil their identity as well l as state their mission

In voice sound and clear like the cry of Achilles in battle he read

To the left and right high up on the wall were drawing 

Of heroes past, their inventions and attainments.

At the front behind the king and his council laid

The drawing of the Nembe warship of old

A dozen men paddling steadily to the left

Beneath a raised roof of thatch and canvas

Decorated with triangular pieces of cut cloth of many colors

They sailed fearlessly, ascending into better

A great kingdom seated at the middle of the waters

All protocol duly observed and all well settled

The king, eloquent in speech, excellent decorum

A scholar of scholars showcase his long years of learning

Speaking and addressing, from experience and observation

Then youth, the chiefs, men and women alike like a father

Urged everyone to prove themselves before the Almighty

To retain their culture and uphold the ancient landmarks

A long speech rich in historical facts and events

Ended at last with applauses of gratitude

And off again he went on his own native tongue

A fascinating language with its forceful and beautiful rhythm

The Ezon language would make a strange smile

Again the music erupted in a new dimension

The daughters of the land arose to play

Gently moving their tall back finely built figures

They moved with grace as to express their innate art paddling 

From the right to the left and from the left to the right

As those on the waters in canoes navigating

It was time for the king to bid us farewell

“Noa O’ Mingi Amanyanabo” the music resounded

The royal bell announcing the King’s departure rang

Dangling from a long metal pole of a sizeable diameter

This rested vertically on the shoulders of two men

Eached clothed in large wrapper toppled with long loose shirts

 Felt shod in shoes of soft leather and harts over their heads

The sons of the land had all come in this manner

Saying goodbye to the king as well as all dismissed.

ogbolomambiri corpers versus basambiri corpers football match result prediction

ogbolomambiri corpers football team

Wao! how time flies. It seems just like yesterday, when in April 2016, the Batch A 2015 corp members of ogbolomambiri as part of their passing out activities, had a football match with the corp members from basambiri community. It was a much anticipated event as the football rivalry between them dates back to a distant past. The students and corp members from both communities thronged to the Nembe City stadium in Ogbolomambiri to cheer up their teams and boo their opponents.

For the records, Basambiri and Ogbolomambiri are the two major cities in Nembe Local Government area of Bayelsa state. While this two communities are separated by only but a small foot bridge and they share almost everything in common, they also compete for almost everything. Right now, the Deputy Governor of the state, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John Jonah, is a native of Ogbolomambiri community.

Being hosted in Ogbolomambiri community, it was highly expected that the ogbolomambiri corp members will take advantage of the home crowd support to win the match. But that was not to be. It was a sad story for the hosts who were bashed by their visitors by.........wait...........hmmmmmm......guess what..... a whopping 7 goals to 1!!!!!!. Of course, the visitors were happy and went home with a victory song: they desserved it because they were the better team for the day. They played better. they had already preinformed their hosts that they will need baskets to take home the goals. they kept to that promise and their fans were not disappointed. they deserved it: they have come a long way amidst security concerns to cheer their players to victory!
