NYSC: My First Encounter In South-East As A Corper by Promicah: 11:13am On Jul 18, 2023 |
I feel overwhelmed by what just happened. A little background information: I lived and studied in Ogun precisely before my called-up letter came. I saw Abia in my call-up letter and the next thought that crowded my mind was the hatred projected during the just concluded election. Since I had no connection, I chose my fate and had to skip my reporting date to camp. After losing every hope of redeployment, I decided to follow the next batch. Our driver stopped in Lokoja and we rested before we continue the next day to Abia. I had to make a plan that when I have money, I will buy their native wear to disguise myself. Immediately I stopped at the Abia park, I entered the next bus to the orientation camp. After our three weeks in camp, I reported to my PPA. Yesterday, I wanted to get a recharge card from a kiosk beside the road and I met an Igbo man. He looked at me and immediately fear gripped me. He asked me whether I was new in the area, I wanted to lie and say "no". But my mouth betrayed me. He smiled and bought the item in the attached picture below. What happened to us? I had to repent. Truly Nigerians are loving people. I couldn't contain my joy. This is my first time in the southeast and just this singular act from yesterday has changed a lot about how I see Nigerians. I know there are a lot of agitations but yesterday a Nigerian showed kindness to a Nigerian. It's officially my 1 month and 15 days in Abia. Sir Nlfpm.od. This is my latest experience. 262 Likes 26 Shares

π Op, if you're jovial they go kill you with enjoyments. That's Igbo man's tender and caring nature for you be that. But could turn to a lion when deliberately provoked!! SE is the the safest place to live and do business regardless of what haters are spewing. 398 Likes 41 Shares |

Abia is safer than Lagos. If you allow the online propaganda to deceive you, na you sabi. I know some Yoruba families in our street in Aba. Forget the online banters. When did you hear a Yoruba man was attacked in southeast because he is Yoruba? 318 Likes 29 Shares |

Honestly, Nigerians are loving people generally until seed of ethnic and religious sentiments was planted in us just to divide us. 25 Likes 1 Share |

Why you make it feel like they gonna eat you or something. No take everything wey you see for Nairaland too far. Most is cruise. Itβs not very deep. Did NYSC In Abakaliki, the most fun filled year Iβve lived. But I was respectful and didnβt overstep boundary. 120 Likes 4 Shares |

Igbos are good people. Forget about what people say about them. Just be nice and do your business and you will enjoy your host. That's Igbo for you. Except for few idiots among them, they're nice people. My prayer is for God to bless me with a good Igbo wife. I want an Igbo blood in my family. Haters please don't quote me. 85 Likes 1 Share |

You talked about hatred projected during the last elections but let me kindly remind you that no single Yoruba was harmed, beaten, or harassed in any way here in the Southeast despite the horrible treatment our people recieved in Lagos. We are a peaceful people. You are welcome to my lovely state. I assure you, you have nothing to fear. Feel free and enjoy yourself. We have many Yorubas living and working in peace here without being harassed by thugs or asked to return to their state of origin. I'm sure you must have met some of them. If your PPA is in the state capital, I would be honored to host you in my humble abode sometime. Nnooo nwannem. You are welcome. 93 Likes 4 Shares |

Some of your fellow Yorubas won't like it that you're changing your mentality towards the east. They want every Nigerian to remain in perpetual hate for the Igbos. 28 Likes 1 Share |

OP, first of all, thank you for being sincere. It'll come at quite a price as many people will tag you attention seeker or something, but I understand it's the unexpected nature that made you share this news. I want to assure you that so long as you give your best to the community with humility, they will in their own little way, appreciate your every efforts. All the best in your service year! 15 Likes 1 Share |
