Day 18: Today is for picture taking

We're taking clinic pictures today!


It's Sunday but I didn't go to church. I had a lazy day really. In fact maybe we all did. I know Dr Chris was threatening to get P-Alaxin to me from today but we bless God that there is NONE!!!! Hallelujah. Even Mini wants me to take it when he couldn't even complete his course with it when he had to take it...stuff broke him down the more sef.

I'm hearing that the lady who is asthmatic and who we had sent home about 2 weeks ago and re-sent home again some days ago; is still breathing Afikpo camp air!!! It is well.

By afternoon we had the photographer come and we took pictures, all clinic staff...well almost all because some people are not around.

I hear that Platoon 7 came 1st in football today. They played the finals with Platoon 1. TomTom went to support his platoon 1. Abeg they tried. I wanted them to win because their leader Gideon seems like such a good leader. Gideon can disturb us in the clinic oh, come to rant about us being given special treatment as we don't have to go for parade. He wants civil engineers like himself to also work during camp...don't worry Gideon, they'll soon start using you guys to build, eye go tear 🤣


Ah! Something happened today. For the second time we had persons rushed in because they fell while running from a snake. I hear the reptiles are out because of the bush burning. The first one was one time in or around Jamaica hall and it was in the leaves or so during makeup class for SAED. They stomped on themselves and so had some minor bruises and thankfully in both situations no one was bitten and the reptile killed. I thank God so much for that. This time the lady said she was peeing in the toilet/bathroom and saw it, waited for it to pass and then had to run (or so). She tripped outside while running. Sustained small bruises.
They had told us about reptiles though and the culture here as regards some.

OBS party was today. I hear Ore went for it but most of us didn't go. Maybe we were waiting for an official invite; lol! Jokes oh! We are all corpers. We did enjoy jams they played sha...that's good enough for me.

Day 40: all join, na our papa land

Happy new year!!!!! Yessir! I've been on a break with this blog. It's been one big ride with this service thing oh because a lot of us left Ebonyi state for the holidays after showing up at our PPA. Now we are back or in transit back to really serve our Fatherland. Me? So....I redeployed!!! To FCT-Abuja. Yes, I did. Let's not discuss about my reasons but I did. I'll miss my Ebonyi family but honestly, na earth so  we go still dey communicate. I came into Abuja and went to start my post-redeployment procedure. I've made journeys to the secretariat and I'm almost done...or so I think. I have a new state code but I'm yet to get my PPA. You won't believe it!!!! I saw Lambert and I've seen another girl from Ebonyi camp...and she said there's more if us. Lol! But all na service sha. The queue here is mad, yeah, it's dissolved into one whole soup but I'm not about that pushing life. Ah! I've seen another person. loooooo...

Day 5: officially a Nigerian Youth Corper

Swearing-in day!!!!! Today was pretty straightforward you know, get sworn in and start the Corper life. My day started with me meeting a patient from last night entering the clinic. I was just about to take a bath when he strolled in. Well, I told him to take a bed as all he clearly needed was bed rest to avoid the morning drills. After getting ready for the day the clinic was in full swing with patients left right and center. From those avoiding the days formalities (swearing-in), to genuine complaints. We got ready for the day, all kitted in out official uniforms and with emergency supplies ready...at least, the best we could get available. It's like they rang the bell at some point because back to back we received people and then gbam!!!! Asthmatic attack became the reigning thing. I mean, you know you're asthmatic and you don't bring your inhaler to the parade ground or you don't bring your drugs or take your drugs! Who is playing with you??? Please be guide...

Day 7: Jonah then Joseph

I served punishment oh!!! Today was amazing...well in the end sha. The day started with Felicity and I going for parade. Yes, I went by 5am to the parade ground. I was so clueless!!! 🤣🤦. Apparently our Muslim brothers and sisters go to pray while Christians pray on the parade ground. We had praise and worship songs and then the anthems (Nigeria and NYSC). I didn't even know that the second stanza of our nation's anthem is now referred to as "the national prayer". After that we had a talk by a platoon, I think it was on integrity...abeg don't blame me, it wasn't so interesting but the lady did well. It wasn't a long one. I was really expecting the drills and the singing that comes with it, only for me to hear that we should go. Me that doesn't know how things really go, I was even ready to go back. I hung with my platoon trying to make sure I didn't go astray. Next thing I hear that the ladies in the platoon should wait behind. We waited and ...
