I guess it's my turn to write this story....
As I'm rounding up my service year, once again I'm having this same anxious feeling of uncertainty, blur hazy and confusing, but then again my confidence lies in the fact that I judiciously made good use of every opportunity that avail itself during this period....
I Remember that night, I could not sleep confused as to what lay out there for me, sluggishly I began packing my stuff atleast all the basics I'll figure out the rest as they unfold.
I arrived at my destination passed through all the checks and documentation, in few hours I was on whites just like everyone else, soon I realise ohh this why they called us white fowl.
the 21-day in camp orientation was crazy trust me your body will break adjusting to the regimented activities but then if you can hang on in there for a while you'll love it, meeting new people from all over the country making new friends, bonding and sharing interest.
soon the fun was over, we're now scattered abroad like rocks blasted by a bomb, I still miss my friends, my bunk mates, my platoon mates, some of which we later reunite in our various LGA's.
Here's the most important fact which you must hold to heart of you're a currently serving corper, or about to embark on these rigorous journey of serving our father's land despite were you're posted to.
If you're a Christian pls find yourself with the NCCF family , they are the Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship, it's a place of pure redefining of purpose and destiny, I began by saying Nysc is a Transitional phase if you miss this moments then your fate is likely to be uncertain, or if you're Muslim hold fast to your confession , let your heart guide you into all truth
This is true for a lot of reasons which you will find out on your own, it's a total different experience for different folks, but if you must make meaning out of this vacuum called life you must identify with this family.
secondly make up your mind to enjoy every moment of your service year, the good the bad and the ugly times will come but at the end of the day you will look back and it will all become just memories it's the lessons you take out and the experience that will shape how you view of life.
The NYSC experience is an all round experience, meeting new people making new friends, creating genuine connections, fostering unity in diversity , I have learnt a whole lot in this one year journey, trust, betrayal, gained brothers and sisters, some who stayed, some left as well but we'll keep these memories for a long time....
like I said the loud voice of uncertainty plays in my head, once again I'm at the crossed road of my life, say the final lap of making a meaning out of all this happenings called life....I knew this day would come but I wasn't prepared, caught up between feelings of excitement and nervousness, of curiosity, of anxiety, yeah I trust the maker of men and the giver of life, he'd assured me I'll be alright but I guess I'm just human.
I know tomorrow's better than today, as I step up with confidence i know it will all work out for my good, it was indeed a great 2025 experience for me.
As I'm rounding things up and now ready to face my life squarely, however the experience were worth it, I'll never regret any one bit of it....
I came, I served, I leveled Up!
