Superstar Nigerian musician, Davido, arrived at the Lagos state NYSC camp today for the swearing in ceremony. The atmosphere at the Iyana Ipaja orientation camp of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) became rowdy at the arrival of the pop star as he stepped out of his car.
Davido who missed the initial stage of the official swearing in ceremony caused a stare as he drove his white Mercedes Benz GLE 450 marked POLICE PF 413SPY into the camp.
The singer told newsmen he has strong passion for the scheme and would adhere to camp rules and regulations. He expressed happiness wearing the service uniform, saying that as a young age Nigerian he would not want to miss the opportunity to be part of the service year.
During the ceremony presided over by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, a total of 2,152 corps members commenced the 2018 Batch B Stream Two orientation training exercise. The batch comprise of 1143 males and 1009 females.

Social media followers of ace musician, David Adeleke, aka Davido, have pleaded with him to donate his NYSC stipends, commonly called alawee, to them.
His fans are of the view that the Bentley-riding Omo Baba Olowo has no need for the N19,800 per month that youth corps members are paid.
The richest corper in town took to his Twitter handle to announce his enrollment for the one-year mandatory National Youth Service Corps, donning complete corper’s gear while perched on his Bentley.
7 things Davido will have to do at NYSC camp
1. Waking at 4 am
Soldiers wake corps members up as early as 4 am at NYSC camps. If Davido is not used to waking at that time, he might find this difficult, but hey, he has no choice but to join his fellow Otondo to rush to the parade ground.
2. Early morning parade
The early parade can be tiring and frustrating. Each platoon lines up side by side to pray and then sing the NYSC and the National anthem. Participating in the three-week orientation course will see the music star joining other corps members to pray and sing in white tops and shorts.
3. Get used to being called Otondo
Otondo is a military term for civilians and this is how the camp soldiers address most corps members. Davido will have to get used to being addressed as Otondo by soldiers and other camp officials.
4. Attend SAED
SAED is a program designed for Corps members to help them develop entrepreneurship skills. It is compulsory for all corps members on camp to attend this program. Davido too will have to join thousands of Nigerian youths to learn and add some entrepreneurship skills to his music career.
5. Man O war activities
There are many things to learn from these activities as NYSC wants us to believe. For instance, jumping the fence and climbing a rope symbolise life challenges and how to surmount them.
The music star too understands that this life is full of challenges, he’ll need to climb the rope, run or trek 800 kilometres to learn how to escape life obstacles.
6. Hang out at Mami Market
