Day 6: now participating 😁

Over 250 cultures in Ebonyi state.

ABOUT 10am

People of God how far na?
I'm here listening to a cultural lecture in Jamaica hall. Yeah, I'm not on duty now, I'm on night (4pm-5am).
After getting ready for the day this morning (yes, you're right. I didn't go for morning drill...one day soon. 😁), I set out with Felicity to meet up with our platoon. I'm in platoon 10 but I hardly know them yet. Well, with time I hope to be present.
We got our swearing-in papers signed and submitted.
I had to go get food from Mami market before Mini fainted because he was so hungry, tryna call me every 5 minutes. Can't blame him, patients ti poju. I got for myself also, ate and came for this lecture. I'm hearing them say it's for 5hrs, lol! With who please?

Come oh, most of the patients we've sent home are still here...lol! Everybody wants to port but they want to have fun in camp. See them forming guy in their white and white in this hall meanwhile on paper their on exeat from camp, nursing their asthma at home. Issokay.

I'm listening to the lecture oh. Here's a few things the chief said:
 1. Yellow cap worn shows that the person is over 83years
2. To get marry their girls here you should have a minimum of 3 years courtship done. Must visit 6-7 times a year to ask for her hand in marriage.
 3. Children are joyful trouble.

Issokay. I sha took notes. I'm not sharing the things from the relocation and discipline lecture. It's in the books they've given us (I'm yet to finish reading the bylaws though). One thing is certain though: they want you to stay here with them in Ebonyi state. Jesus take the wheel.

Thank God the lecture didn't last that long, the host had to keep giving stories because those to give the lectures weren't around. I'm sha happy...everyone was, they let us go early.

After this lecture I really wanted to rest but my platoon was going to have practice. Felicity, thank you for hooking me up with details and taking me there too. We are in the same platoon and so we went for dance rehearsals and then volleyball. Y'all don't know but dance-drama-music used to be my secondary school life. Seeing them today and hearing them discuss gave me good chills...I miss those days. I hope that at some point I can join a theatre group because this talent must be enjoyed by God and you my friends.
I'm not sharing what we did... before you go and tell another platoon. We are winning...yes, I said it. We have Ore on our team, serving the ball that will victoriously sit inside your square, Amen? Amen! Funny how she was scared to play but now is a superstar!

Me? I was a mess at serving during volleyball practice 🤣🤣🤣. Kai! Coach in Debrecen will just laugh at me because I remember that's how I started out. But I had FUN!!!! Guys, I've worn my lipstick, I'm ready for camp life!!!! I'm participating 😁
Thank you Billy for the pictures and for everything today.

After this I went to resume at the clinic. Nothing much oh but why can't people tell the truth straight up? You need an exeat because you have waist pain but no, you must make it look deep and be telling me the "genesis of everything" (in his words).


But I stressed myself sha. Lol! I was so tired that I took a nap and left Fubsy, Thomas and Mini to continue. Tomorrow we go light...but wait oh, my platoon is doing the dance tomorrow...I'm on call. Now singing: God will make a way, when there seems to be no way... because I'm going to watch the dance!

Let's see if I go for morning drills...I need that 6packs and fitness!

Special shout-out to Mikky on the drug beat (chief pharmacist). Mikky how far the azithromycin na? 😁

This guy asked a very good question.

  2. 😀I am not a good adviser sha. But make the most out of your camp. Participate in camp activities when you can. And hide in clinic when you feel overwhelmed. That's how I survived mine

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 21: goodbyes are hard!!!!

Even good things come to an end. Chai! Writing this is painful because today I held back tears. As early as 3am I heard "Corper don blow..." and quite some noise as people were either getting ready or already making their way to drop their mattress...dunno. Billy even sent me a message saying "Corper don blow .. Lol! I went back to sleep abeg. Yesterday I packed my things from F2, my hostel and brought it to the clinic...Mini helped me carry them. Not much though...small box and an empty carrier bag. I got up later to meet people dressed and a long queue of people submitting their mattresses. Guys where are you running to???? I hear some were woken up as early as 2am, y'all extra!!!! After taking my bath and dressing up, TomTom helped me get my mattress from my hostel so I can submit it. That mattress storage room is so stuffy! Well, we finished and I repacked and the clinic was cleaned out. I mean CLEANED OUT. Drug cabinet, beds, examining bench, chairs, ...

Day 3: "eye disloyalty"

I didn't take a bath early enough 🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️ ...... People of God how far now? Today started with work oh. I woke up officially at about past 4am, went to get my things for the day from my hostel, freshened up a little and then started attending to people! We had a full house after some time with the camp officials coming to check their blood pressure and see how things are going. Let's back up, shall we? Please why are they "offing" the light??? Just why? Light out is from 10pm and the light literally goes OUT. At about 9:55pm yesterday I was scrambling to get me and my backpack out of my hostel, down to the clinic because that's where I was going to sleep. At about 1:40am some ladies were asking via the window if there was bed space in the clinic, they thought it was a hostel. I can imagine that they arrived at the camp so late and were just looking for a place to pass the night. Well, CMD sha answered them: sorry not here. Back to the day: I...
