Esyy: ****** OTHER COMPETITIONS AND CARNIVAL For the remaining competitions, I didn't take interest so well in them but I was there to witness them all
For SAED competition - Corpers showcased what they've learnt and the best amongst them were awarded personal gifts not platoon gifts.
For Drama competition - each platoon was asked to present a storyline that depicts unity in Nigeria. Our platoon came third!
For Song competition - each platoon was instructed to sing the NYSC anthem and permitted to freestyle to their taste.
For Miss Bold and Beautiful - Each platoon brought forth a representative, a lady who is fat ( thick) and beautiful. They're usually asked to dance and attempt some questions. Our platoon won!
For Mr Macho - Guys were picked from each platoon to flex their muscles. Omo, come and see abs and body muscles everywhere! I wonder why we're not exporting that to other countries sef ..... By the way, our platoon came second!
For Miss NYSC - usually slim people are best fit for this. They were asked to dance ( twerk if possible), catwalk and answer current affairs questions. I wasn't even expecting our platoon to win but they did.
For Adam and Eve - A guy and a girl who knew themselves very well were asked to represent their platoons. Questions were asked relating to how much each one knew their partner. It's a kind of couple's something
For match past competition: a set of army captains will come supervise each platoon. Every platoon will have their own commander ( a corper) who will be giving out orders.....from "left will" to " close and open order" to "slow and quick match"! This is one of the toughest competition on camp. Our platoon came third!
CARNIVAL - Every platoon was instructed to present a cultural dance. It can be that of Igbo, akwa-ibom, delta, cross river, Yoruba, hausa .....any tribe at all
.......every corper wore their customized ( with platoon name boldly written) white top and blue jeans trouser
It's one of the colorful days on camp....some persons also wore masks too but it was never compulsory
Platoons danced round, showcasing their attires and cultural dance. Our platoon came second! For all these competitions, the judges usually call positions from the last platoon ( the losing team)
The appropriate statement for such announcement goes like this - "from the rear, 7th position goes to...... platoon 3"
Lol, not to mock anyone but platoon 3 was always called from the rear till everyone started calling them - " the rear platoon"
On the same day of carnival, first allawee was paid in cash .....33k
Most people took theirs to pos ( to transfer to their accounts) while the others took theirs to mami, most importantly was that there was a transfer of money!
Later in the evening, every platoon held their last party on camp, right inside mami Sunday - we all returned to church for last service on camp before vacating on Monday!
Monday - Everyone gathered at the parade ground, did our last parade, collected our PPA letters and joined family house buses to our different locations!
The most emotional day of being in camp!
Lights out!
*******
In conclusion I'll like to point out some important things to do while in camp. These things will save you headaches later on in the future!
1. Pay attention to all lectures related to allawee, whether state or FG. Save contacts of people working in account office incase anything goes wrong with your account! They share those contacts during lectures.
2. Join good fellowships, if you're very committed they might influence your posting to a good place. I'm a beneficiary of that!
3. Mingle more and get as much contacts as possible, you don't know when you'll be needing someone's help!
4. Attend SAED classes that have the potential of helping you make money on the side, you'll need it later more than FG money
5. Treat people well , that's the first rule of building relationships and networks
6. Take God serious or get ready to walk alone

NOC1: That’s where I served Nsit Attai, whatever happened in camp I don’t know, parades we don’t go, I and my friends were the last set of corp members to sign that book of life, walk for life only me among my friends did it because of a girl Ella and our miss NYSC who was my family friend. We don’t miss volleyball because of our Camp girlfriends who are athletes, they invite us to come watch them play, we only collect hot water from Refectory to make our tea, I only ate swallow in camp the day my platoon made food, I was in the kitchen with my NYSC babe, we had special meal.
I had a girlfriend in Mami where I eat from, Ikwo is her name, her elder sis happen to be schooling in my school then we became friends.
That three weeks was something else, the weed my guys went to camp with finished, we have to go outside camp to buy weed. The back of the camp is not fenced it leads to a community if you follow the track road in the farm.
Never had a picture of me in NYSC uniform.
Spent my 80% in uyo but attended CDS 3times just to stop an election of excos, never had CDS excos all through my service year, so nobody was checking who is attending or not. I and some guys planned for us not to have a leader who will checkmate us in CDs unless one of us is ready to lead, thanks be to God no leader emerged every time election was scheduled we scattered it, we made the excos we met when we joined look bad that made our set to buy our ideas.
NYSC outside camp was fun, I enjoyed uyo from my friends who are big spenders to my miss NYSC who is always in my house, with her friends because she was not posted in Uyo, so my house is like where she and her friends come to be picked up by those commissioners and SA’s money was not a problem because those men where paying. So this your miss nysc always come to wait at ur place where those commissioners PA or security will come and pick her up to take to their Oga commisoner for some hot weekend fvcking? This world Don condemn finish. |
