Hmmm as a Nigerian student.. One thing we all look up to at the end of the 4-10(depending on the school, course and striking of different school boards..Lol) years journey in the university is serving the nation...

As a young student in secondary school back then, i had always anticipated being a corper.. I would see these corpers and immediately fall in love with their uniform and their carriage.. I literally couldn't wait to be a part of it too..

Fast forward to 2018, now.. Its my turn to serve my great nation, Nigeria....
Its my turn to be called a "corper" too...
Its my turn to be called "government property"..
But guess what?
All the excitement and anticipation is kinna gone...

I'm beginning to ask myself...
Is this service really important?
How would this service help me be a better person?
Hope it wont be a waste of a whole year of my life?

Coupled with the fact that I've heard different stories about people's NYSC experiences.. Some good, some bad..
Especially the stress of camping for 3weeks. It gives me a feeling of being a prisoner for the whole time...

Picture of people checking into camp

Anyways... Whether i like it or not.. I would have to serve especially if i want to work here in my country... It is just a compulsory criteria..
Even for international students.. As lon as you want to work in Nigeria... You have to be a part of the National Youth Service Corps(NYSC) for a whole year... Hmmm

So i have a request...
Have you served before? Please i would really love for you to share your experiences with me...
I don't wanna say I'm scared to serve but then... I have my reservations... Lol..
So both old and new "otondos" i need advice on how to handle my fears about being a corper...
How to prepare myself for this journey because really.. i feel so unprepared and camping is just a couple of days away...

Thanks everyone...
