The Diary Of A Jobless Nigerian Youth by damiloladuke: 11:30am On May 31, 2015 |
I will be having my passing out parade in a few weeks. Looking back into the service year, it looks just like yesterday when i got my posting letter to go serve my Motherland I was with my Ex- girlfriend on that fateful day, when a friend called me and told me i had been posted to Anambra State, i leaped with Joy, because it had always been my dream to serve in the East. I guess you all should know my reason for that. The following week, i was at the Umunya Orientation Camp, Uyi Local Government, Anambra State. Just some few kilometers from the Commercial town of Onitsha. I remembered being told to safe guard my luggage while we were approaching Onitsha as the boys over there don't smile. As if the other passengers had envisaged the incident, while we were at the park, another bus coming from Lagos arrived and as the passengers were alighting from the bus, an innocent little boy just approached this dude and asked if he could assist with his bad, the guy consented and the boy was trailing behind him. All of a sudden, the boy disappeared into crowd and the guy just stood there with his mouth opened wide. A bigger guy moved closer to him and whispered into his ears. The bus to take us down to the Camp arrived and we all boarded, it was in the bus i noticed the guy that had his bag frisked away right before his eyes beside me and he didn't seem to have recovered from the shock. He just kept staring into space and i wondered if an Airplane was in the bus. I asked him what the bigger guy told him and he replied '' What did you wants to know?'' I apologized and managed to give a little smile discreetly, the guy just murdered the Queen's English. On our way to the camp, the driver got off a phone call and just stopped the bus abruptly and said to us '' Armu Robbas dey front, everybody come do wn.'' I said '' Wetin you say, Army Urban or what?'' but at that moment, I happened to be the only one left in the bus, I wondered how all other guys got down from the bus. I followed suit and we all ran into a nearby bush. A guy among us said he needed to go back to retrieve his Certificates and other valuables, no one even answered him, it was later we got to know he is a 1st class graduate in his school and probably felt the certificates are more important than life. He went and retrieved his documents anyways. After some few minutes, we all got back to the road only to discover the driver and the bus gone. It was like magic. The driver was the ''Armu Robba'' and we had all been '' robbad'' . I just stood there and i guessed it was my turn to open wide my mouth. The 1st class student was staring at us all and am so sure he would be trying to visualize the grade we all left school with as he happened to have taken the best decision of his life. Fortunately for me, my phone was with me and my wallet. We all decided to start trekking and picking on vehicles that were passing by. Thinking if this should be happening on my 1st day of Youth Service, how would the rest of the year be for me? I eventually got to the camp around evening time and I just went for registration and off to bed. Couldn't even call home to narrate my ordeal to them. The guy that was robbed at Onitsha, Femi, coincidentally, happened to be my bunk mate and when we were about to sleep he stood up and whispered to my ear '' Welcome to Onitsha'' I asked what that meant and he said that was exactly what the big guy said to him at Onitsha.
