Road to NG
The 2nd FAQ after the 'No' reply to the first FAQ 'Did you
work your posting' i heard up until the week of posting was 'Ahan why??' or in
the elderly format 'Kilode?'
I've learnt in this my short life that its from one pot of
soup to another and no matter how hot it gets, u just gotta live through it
*sigh*
I was so excited about the NYSC experience by the time i was
leaving school in June/July until i had to worry about where
i-was-going-to-be-posted-to which ofcourse was immediatly as people would not
let you rest by reminding you everyday *Long Hiss* everywhere i went, all the
different people i saw, it was all 'where do you want to be posted to' 'are you
working it' 'i hope they don't post you to the north' 'me i won't let you go to
the north oh' in different formats, and am there all smiling but if you look
really closely you would see i have my hands clasped against my ears screaming 'Can you all leave
me alone and direct your questions to NYSC'
All that constant reminder made me less excited about it all
and more worried so when my mum came home one day and said ''take a paper write
your full name, call up number and where you want to be posted to, this man is
asking for it'' it felt like the time to
put an end to the worry and be rest assured of the place, i wrote it quite
alright and put Lagos but the paper did not leave my room.
After writing lagos i started asking myself; then whats the
point of the scheme? If i stay in lagos it just going to be IT experience all
over again, what exactly do i want to achieve this service year? So i pulled
out my journal (as usual) and wrote (no editting):
What i want from the NYSC experience.
- Get myself ready for the independent life
-prove to myself that i can make it on my own
-The 'responsible' feeling
-Mentally prepare myself for the life ahead
-Help! Help!! Help!!!
-Live
-Visit places
-Devotion to God
-Service
-Embrace the whole idea
After all these writing and pondering, i was too sure i
wasnt going to work my posting and definatly not to lagos, when i prayed sef i
said to God anywhere but lagos; not that i hate lagos that much but the only
reason i didnt want lagos is TRAFFIC (@gidiTraffic would understand)
I just pray God would help me achieve all of these by the
end of my one year serving the fatherland!
