Serving in Osun State: camp, LGAs and corper life
Your call-up letter says Osun. Here is what that means: where the orientation camp is, which LGAs you can be posted to, and what daily life looks like in Osogbo. Then play it, on real Osogbo streets.
The Osun orientation camp
Corpers deployed to Osun State report to the orientation camp at Ede, Ede North LGA for about three weeks of registration, kitting, swearing-in, parade, SAED lectures and evenings at the mammy market. At the end of camp, everyone gets a posting letter to a PPA in one of the state's LGAs.
In Kopa Life your service year starts at the camp gate too. A soldier checks your call-up letter, you queue for registration, collect your khaki and jungle boots, and learn drills with your platoon. Our NYSC camp guide has the full packing list and daily routine.
LGAs in Osun you can be posted to
Osun State has 30 local government areas. Your posting letter names one of them, and that LGA's NYSC office is where you do monthly clearance and meet your LGI. Busier, more urban areas are outlined in green.

2 of 30 are busier urban areas in the game: more corpers, longer clearance queues and a louder group chat.
Corper life in Osogbo
The weather is hot and humid most of the year. To get around, corpers use keke (tricycles), okada (motorbikes) and buses. In the game, food and transport prices in Osun are among the cheapest in the game.
Local languages you will hear: Yoruba. Expect greetings like “Ẹ káàárọ̀ o, corper!” and “Corper, ẹ kú iṣẹ́ o!”. At the buka you will find Amala & ewedu, Ofada rice & ayamase, Ewa agoyin & bread and Puff-puff, with Zobo to wash it down.
