NYSC Orientation Camp 2

NYSC Orientation Camp 2
So I was saying, I got to that camp very late ehn, carrying my bag i was told to get foam to sleep on, I was given one flat something like that, I mean, I knew i was in for it, and I already heard the gist that sokoto mosquitoes go to the gym but I was like it can’t be that bad, kai it is worse, they helped me carry the foam to the hall, sorry, i mean room, and they opened the door. 
I couldn’t understand what i was seeing, the bunks were like 40 meaning 80 people in one hall, the way i strong face and enter ehn, forming egbon (senior), at least i am, i had my BSc 2012 when most of this guys were in secondary school hustling WAEC. I got a space and used mosquito net to demarcate my space, now i need to Charge my phone and I already heard of the gist of stealing and all, I turned my phone to airplane mode, switched it off, plugged the charger and kept the phone inside the shirt I wore to sleep and lay on my chest, in my mind I was like, come and steal this one. 
Now you are saying see this one ba, it could have killed me Shey, thank you. Thats why I switched everything off and i know how much the phone is, 19800 over 12 months won’t buy it back. 
So okay, i resumed the Camp clinic and started seeing patients or acclaimed patients, you need to see the different kinds of medical reports i saw, just because we all want to redeploy, note I said WE. Me too i want to redeploy biko and I don’t blame them, but please the doctors that wrote the reports ehn, they could have tried to be more believable, how can someone have a seizure and while having a claimed episode she was able to write on a paper that she is currently having seizures, we gave water for injection and she got better, whats that, we just finished House Job but don’t insult our intelligence. It’s annoying. Thats like one out of many different reports. 
I decided to join the platoon after collecting the rags they call 7/7. Nothing was my size except the socks and NYSC shirt. Had to swap and still adjust at the tailor.
I was on my own jeje wondering what sort of life this 3 weeks camp was gonna be like then they started nominating for platoon leader and some ladies pointed at me, i felt, Well okay, Why not, then we voted and I won. At this point I was wondering it can’t be that hard, I have had several leadership roles, this should be a piece of cake I thought.
But men I was frustrated, different backgrounds, I mean it was really hard satisfying everyone, some I felt they came straight from secondary school, some are unredeemable entirely, but all in all it was all fun eventually. 
But I got traumatized when I had to use the toilet, and bath, my God!!!!!! Just forget about it. You would rather bath in public than use that bath. 


Anyways stay tuned as I unveil the rest of the story......

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.  ...

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...
