No fear ๐๐จ๐
Na me ๐น๐น๐นโ๏ธ
Congratulations to me๐
I'm no longer a prospective corp member
I'm a proud corper
Whatever we will be, we will be ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฅบ
Four years course became seven years, the plan was to serve my country in 2021, but I didn't know there was another plan somewhere else; yet I didn't give up ๐
In this journey to success, may we not see our mates and run to hide๐ฎโ๐จ
We're classmates ends in secondary school๐ค
after university, everyone chooses their class๐คโ๏ธ
I got tired of running to hide each time I see my mates....so, I had to proceed to take my life to the next level.....
Na here the story start๐น๐
I also wanted to register for nysc
The first issue was from my name.
I had a middle name on my NIN slip, but no middle name on my STATEMENT OF RESULT....
oya nahhh...๐น๐คธ
Automatically, i couldn't register..
Village people :1
Me :0
I quickly recolized by correcting the error, but even one day to the registration, the middle name no gree comot..I almost cried ๐คฃ๐
Luckily, it was updated on the day the registration portal was opened.
I quickly left for registration, when I got to the cafe, I met people like๐คฃ๐
Fast forward, we dropped our details and transferred our money to the man
It took two hours before NYSC sent me an email ๐คฃ๐คธ
At last, it came, after e come finish ๐๐ฅบ
Portal wasn't accessible for account creation.
We sat for additional four hours pressing phone
Some were tapping swap...๐น๐some were doing planning on what jet to buy when tap swap pays them ๐น๐คธ
After waiting tirelessly, I left the cafe to eat.
Immediately I got home and wanted to start eating, the cafe man called me that the portal was accessible.
I dropped my food and hurriedly returned to the cafe.
Took us some hours again ๐
Lassslasss, registration was successful.
Few days after registration, people were getting their call up number...but my own wasn't on my portal.... village ppl nah๐ฅบ๐
I called the man..he said it was network....after two more days, I had to change it for his papa....๐น๐
That was when he told me my payment on NYSC portal wasn't successful...eman gbami kehhh
Eiiii....I cried in Igbo language
Long story short, he had to make another payment before I got the call up number.
By this time, my direct posting to Lagos was automatically a failure because Lagos slots had already been filled up.
I still went ahead and processed the direct posting.....I shaaa paid some amount for the direct posting ๐น๐คธ
As call up letter came out.....IMO STATE chakan๐๐คธ
I got my call up letter in the night of Tuesday, and I had to report to camp on Wednesday...๐ ๐
Rough play...see whinning
I shaaa got my NYSC kit and a travelling box to secure my things ๐คฃ
I also paid for my ticket from Lagos state to Imo.๐คธ๐น๐น
I finished everything necessary and was prepared for my journey.
I prepared to travel on Friday.
On Wednesday, it just finished raining, and I quickly wanted to get some few things, as I was riding my scooter ๐ต in the rain, a little girl crossed the road carelessly, I had two options.
Either to hiiit her or
quickly apply my brakes๐...this would send me crashing.
I spared the girls life and crashed into some walls of concrete.
I knew village ppl already got the best of me and that I would no longer proceed with my journey to imo for the nysc.
I got to the park I paid for a ticket to get a refund, unfortunately they said they don't refund,๐น๐คธ I could not find anyone else coming to imo so I'd have told him to pay me while I gave him my ticket.
I proceeded with the journey the next day.
As the sienna jeep took off by 7:am and continued moving, it started heating up.๐ฅบ๐
With every little rise in temperature, there was this sharp pain in my leg.
It was already swelling up due to immobility for a long time. ๐ฆต
We finally arrived imo state late in the night. It was raining heavily.
I had to enter the rain with my leg.
With every little droplet of rain on the surface of the wound, the pain was increased by 100%
We got to another junction, we alighted from the bus, the area was flooded.
๐ฆ
I had to walk in the erosion, at that point, it wasn't even the wound getting infected that was my concern, my concern was just finding a place to rest..
We got to the camp.
One of the soldiers saw me leaping and asked what happened, I explained everything to him.
He told me to request for an exit letter....
But that was just impossible because it'd literally mean I wasted my transportation fee and would head back to Lagos the next day without going through the fun of camp๐ ๐คธ
To make it worse, I have no family in imo self...where would I stay nahh๐๐
The next day was registration.
I don still carry this my bad character enter imo state ๐๐คธ๐น
I wore orange shirt๐น๐คธ
Orange glassโ๏ธ๐ค
We were asked to carry the plastic chair we were sitting on to another place ๐น๐คธ
That's how I mistakenly carried an orange chair ๐ ๐ ๐๐ด
People were shaaa looking at me๐ ๐
Unfortunately again, I didn't know I was holding an orange file....damn๐๐
I didn't even know how it all happened
I Ended up looking like a male version of Cinderella In nysc camp๐ ๐ญ๐น๐
Fast forward, all my life, I've always dreamed of being one of the most active members in rigorous activities like parading and jumping ๐๐
But it was all clear that the dream had already been shattered.
I had to join martial arts since it wasn't too stressful, hoping I'd get healed before the exercises got tougher.
We began introducing ourselves ohhh...
I'm Mabel.... student of university of Ibadan ๐น๐คธ
I studied medicine...
๐น๐people were dropping good courses๐ ๐คธ...
To mention plant biology hard for my mouth ๐๐
Babalawo keehh๐๐คธ
I just lied that I studied microbiology in unilorin ๐๐
They cook three times a day....as such, we're to take our tickets to kitchen and collect food in our coolers
Before I would wake up and decide whether to eat or not,
And then leap with one leg reach kitchen....
food don finish ๐๐ ๐
Mammy market straight ๐๐ค
Even when I want to collect my khaki and boot....I was given two left legs ๐น๐คธ
When it became serious, there's this my friend that doesn't eat his food
So, I always tell him to collect his food for me ๐๐
Sometimes, I eat double ration...
So, if I miss the next one, I go use the previous one hold body ๐๐คธ๐น
In my hostel, there are different set of people
How can u be playing music from ur phone around 2:am..
No be juju be this??
Some would set alarm, the alarm would have woken up all of us
We'll now gather to go and wake the owner of the phone up to turn off his alarm โฐ๐๐ฆ
My leg wasn't quickly healing, and I could not partake in most of the activities.
Even on the swearing in Day, while my friends were on the parade ground, I was left alone in the hostel partially crippled...
In all of these, who am I not to thank God?
Nothing comes easy, but in God we trust
I'm proud of myself small
Life is made up of small victories ๐๐
In moments of adversities and despair, I pray God grants us all solace
Congratulations to me once again ๐
Labour Market to favor Market by God's grace ๐คธ๐ฆตโบ๏ธ
They suppose set one more year to serve our mother's land ๐ though
All through my stay in camp......I promise not to woo any girl
So help me God....amen
These camp organisera have helped guys by not paying us allowweee until we're leaving camp
Before babes go finish our money
Back to be back to Facebook ๐ฅฐ๐คธ
Life has actually been nothing like it used to be without most of u all ..
And I sincerely appreciate all the moments we shared and the memories we made
Thank you all for not giving up on me ๐ฅฐ๐
One day, you all would also tell a story about everything you went through regarding this academic struggle
And I hope it becomes a survival guide to someone else
Best wishes โบ๏ธ๐ค๐ค
