I understand how you must feel. I felt very demoralised and disheartened to learn that I had been posted to Rivers State. It was too far from places that I knew—Lagos, Ogun, Oyo—and it was also all too sudden to prepare for. I didn't smile for most of the time I was trying to prepare for it. Guess what now? I feel very grateful and privileged to be where I am now.

I mean, it's not exactly an exciting thing to travel on the road for about 12 hours and more. The experiences I have now make me feel thankful, however. I do miss home, but I am feeling very different and learning entirely new things by being here.

Don't think much about the possible hassles you may experience with this posting to Imo. It'll pass. You'll enjoy being at camp. You'll be excited to meet new people from all over the country. It'll be a great time. And wherever you find yourself after camp—if you do not redeploy—try to embrace it and find the good in it.

I wish you the best, Rayo!

PS: Make sure to carry very good powerbank and earphones.
