Day 9: we dive and go

We dive and go

I went for morning drill. Yes, ladies and gentlemen I went for morning drill. What is it with man 'o' war songs and how funny they are. Today we sang while jogging I heard "we die aro", I was shook. I had to ask until I heard well "we dive and go, anywhere we hear gunshot, we dive and go". It was fun.
After the drill we had a lecture, them NDLEA guys. Ange make una no do drugs.
Right after that I was in clinic either chilling or attending to patients.
As SEAD lectures was going on, Mini was called to bring 2 persons to see some officials. Apparently if was to do some official signings; so to sign our certificate and other things. It was a kind gesture as we are usually in the clinic...right before the rush, they allowed us. I also corrected my name (just changed the capital letter to small letter). When that was over I followed Mini to Mami market to get a haircut; brethren the fine boy re-emerged!

What other interests thing happened today?
1. Fubsy was training for gele tying. He tried oh but I hear they were not satisfied. *I'm guessing here* because dude was amazing! Well done Fubsy.
2. We found Mini's minor lookalike, Leke.
3. Kemi has gone back to Lagos. You people cannot stress her biko! She was in Enugu camp.

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 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...
