3. the initial days at Ibadan: thanks to
that 19,800 that came in just about when we were leaving camp, my
"squad" and I could afford to pay hotel bills and enjoy the copper
luxury life of Ibadan...yeah we were all posted to Ibadan.
Registration wasn’t
stressful for me because I did the easy part and came in later for the rest;
there is no stress in life biko. Oh my God, how will I forget to mention that it’s
when you get posted for NYSC that your parents will remember your long
lost relatives that live in that state and if you are lucky, you get to choose
which of those relativessss you will like to stay with.
my case wasn’t
different, I chose my awesome aunt whom I’m not staying with anymore, yeah i
know right if she’s awesome why am I not staying with her anymore? See....the
thing is her place is far from my PPA, I’m serious na.....
My first days and even months in Ibadan,
oh I wish I had known I would meet the friends I have now I would have just
fast forwarded time, if I could. The first days were good, parties here and there;
fast food was the order of the day, like every day. Wish I knew there would be
rainy days, like both literally and figuratively.
I forgot that I wanted to save all my
allawee and buy a car or build a house like most of our NYSC motivational
speakers did during their time.
The hustle to find accommodation was
real, everybody wanted to get houses in the best areas irrespective of what
they or their parents can afford even those that have found the perfect lost relative
were still searching for house, why? Dashing one thousand naira to agents.
sorry I was meant to talk about myself not others, after staying with my aunt
for weeks I was finally favored to get a fully furnished house close to my PPA,
yeah right I was lucky...naah, luck is just opportunity meeting hard work
*winks*
4. MY PPA: for those wondering where I
got posted to, I was posted to Ibadan North West local government onireke
Ibadan and yes your guess is as correct as mine...no work. Information reaching
says some don’t know the meaning of PPA, its place of primary assignment.
After waiting for about two months to
get my internal posting due to the bureaucracy, hectic and busy schedule of the
local government workers, I was posted to the finance department.
My work is boring, that’s if I work, nothing
much to write about it lets just fast forward to the broke days.
