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 then another lady came back and was saying we were to be somewhere. Another lady (I don't know her platoon) was talking about the computer scientists who were asked to come out so they can give them some instruction...I thought both ladies were talking about the same thing🤣
A man came and was shouting about people not being in the hall. See eh, to be clueless is not my portion again! Amen.
Our camp officials told us ladies to stay back so we could have volleyball practice. We went to the court and started practicing. Some ladies wanted to leave sef but they were told they had to be there.
Next thing the same man came to the court, shouted that we all give him our Meal tickets and then hold ourselves by the waist and match down to the hall.
Apparently, platoon 7-10 was released from the parade ground to go and receive a lecture in Jamaica hall!!!!
Our camp officials did nothing about it. I mean, here I was thinking since my oga is here, I'm doing the right thing 🤣🤣🤦🙆🏽‍♀️
Uncle went to the door of the hall, told us to go and sit on the floor in front of the stage, facing everyone while the lecturer was talking.
Oh well, wetin man go do? Na to sit, cross leg, bring out phone and dey begin take note.
Na like that we take end lecture oh. Like 30mins lecture on security was what was left. Small time into our stay, the lecturer even said we are making noise...I was just hoping that will not add to our troubles. I sat write next to his feet...as per, pour me that knowledge!
After that uncle reported us to our fellows in the hall oh. It sounded like salt and pepper was added but it turns out he had sent people to come and call us but for some reason the message didn't get to me...yes, I didn't hear jack! Nor did most of the girls. 
I was not happy oh...I won't lie to you.
My platoon sha had to clean and arrange the hall. I'm not among any sweeping so I tried to help with the chairs.
They say platoon 10 has issues...but you know say that one na for their pocket. What they said is for them, not us. Amen?
I'm on the fence about going for camp stuff...it felt like I "Jonah-ed" them.
When out platoon officer came we did small shakara. Honestly I didn't like that he didn't stand up for us. I rest my case.

Throughout the day I rotated between the clinic and my platoon activity. I was really gingered when I heard that our platoon wasn't doing well. We have our dance presentation today and while we practiced I made a suggestion and the guys said I should take the part so I'll be the narrator for our dance presentation.

I'm happy! I haven't done this in a while. I used to act during my secondary school days, a lot!!!! And even in my uni days sef.

That's how I showed up for the social night and did the thing oh. I think we did well. I hope people were entertained and actually heard my voice because we didn't use the microphone. We gave it our all.

Ah! I must include that my platoon officer now came to the clinic oh. He actually wasn't feeling fine and so I had to give him IM injection. He says we are the cause, lol! For every chook we "chooked" him, I told him it's us paying back. He's a funny man. I hope he gets better and we all have a better relationship with him. (He and I have been cool from the time I collected my kit, he's a good guy).

I hung out with Billy after the event. Actually just went to get food from Mami market. It was already past 9pm.

By 10pm I was back at the clinic. I hear someone upset Mikky. How dare they???? Mikky wey no dey vex! But it wasn't over the top sha.

It ended as a good day. Somebody shout Hallelujah!!!


You can't see abi? It's 5am, why are we out!!!!?

Ok there's some visibility sha

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!!!!

Emergency, emergency, you never see me coming through! Say what!??!??!!!! So today was cool. They played volleyball but I don't think we have concluded sha...I mean the finals. Dr Ken (did I mention him? He's the doctor sent by Ministry of health to this clinic to help out) handed over to Dr Chris. I hear Dr Chris is a fun person and nice to work with. Dr Ken was so nice and calm. Thank you sir. Another thing, Platoon 10 was in the kitchen today. My people picked beans tire today but TomTom says Ore was just taking pictures 😁 But she worked sha and was tired sef. We (Mini, Anita, Ore and I) went to collect the money they were sharing to us. Let us pray guys, that the true wealth of this nation will be reflected in our bank accounts and the money we get from our government...Amen. Today TomTom wrote an exeat for me, that I'm causing emotional trauma to Mini...lol!!!!!!! When Mini was taking P-Alaxin for malaria or the time around his taking it; TomTom will blame e...
