Write Up- Gold

Gold...
Everyone knows Gold glitters
We also know not all that glitters is gold
We like beautiful things
But it’s important not to rush all beautiful things,
Some are harmful whilst some are a handful,
Gold lasts and would always be there even after we are gone,
Its important not to lose life trying to achieve Gold,
But to touch lives,
That really is Gold,
Appreciate the very little things,
 How the rain falls,
How the moon rises,
How the sun sets,
How the plants grow,
How we sleep and still wake up.
Love everything around you.

NYSC Orientation Camp 1

NYSC Orientation Camp 1 I thought i was living the life and Gods plan for me was going quite smoothly until i saw my posting for NYSC which read Kebbi state, asin i mean, in this same Nigeria i ask?  I quickly went to the map to look for this state and i was like okay. Its nigeria and one idiot was telling me Don’t you know kebbi? Its the rice basket of Nigeria, please do i look like i am suffering from lack of rice???? Not long before camp i was told the camp won’t be in Kebbi but in sokoto, i was like what!!!! Soko what? I checked the map again, its farther than a Kebbi sef.  I went through all the stages of denial, i mean i ended up settling to accept that my life is going to pass through sokoto.  Not like I haven’t been to the north before, i was born in Jos and stayed there a while before relocating, i also tried to work this NYSC something and then men, Kebbi state, camp is sokoto.  The whole issue started with my packing, i had little or no time...

My NYSC Update 1

My NYSC Update 1 Hello, Do you remember how i was ranting about my posting to kebbi? Oh well, this is just to say the letter we have all been waiting for came two Sundays ago.  I have been relocated to Lagos state, however to print your redeployment letter you need a clearance from the state Coordinator, i mean, what?  Which state Coordinator, how? My joy turned bitter fast. I contacted all the links i have, and you have, 🤣 but really nothing could be done without me, that didn’t even report or do clearance to go to kebbi and get release letter etc, mo gbe (i am in trouble) i said to myself, with which money and strength, no available flight to kebbi on Mon or Tue except Wednesday.  So i went via road, it was one hell of a road trip, what! I saw how people in the north do live, it’s disheartening, and at a point i thought it would have been nice to help them out a bit, but my oath says i must take care of myself first now, biko they would be fine.  ...

NYSC Orientation Camp 3

Just like it was a joke, they woke us up every morning by 5:20am or so, I mean, what????!!!!! At my age and “Status” and telling me to double up, I don’t get it, I mean if I walk I would still get there before those that haven’t even dressed up yet, but no I must double up 😃 .  The good part is for once, girls needed guys, I mean you would hear statements like please come closer, hold me, cover me, its not what you thinking dear, but the Cold was crazy with the breeze, we all loved each-other just to survive the cold, no forming at all.  After which we do the joggings and all everyday except sunday though.  And one time they announced they caught a thief and unfortunately the guy was from my platoon, I just hid my face as the platoon leader, remember I said leadership in this case is entirely different.  Then I met this soldiers, two of them, obviously not older than my junior brother telling me to leave the food I was eating and rush to the parade grou...
