Yes I found the shocker of my life and logging in the NYSC portal. I think I should just spell it the way it was written.
I found out the statement was; “You’re not in stream one, we’ll notify you when to print your call up letter”.
My heart skipped a bit and I started thinking of things that hasn’t even happened yet. Different questions were running in my head. Why will I not be in stream 1. Didn’t the Cafe attendant tell me since I paid for the call up letter immediately then Stream one is sure?, does it mean I’d have to wait for another month or even months?, ha !!!! ko joorr
Then I refreshed again. By this time I had started receiving calls from some of my colleagues who were waiting on 12 o clock like myself. I just don’t know what to tell them. They said the NYSC page was hanging, some said the site is busy, some said the Internet was bad, while some even gave suggestion we wait till the next day before we check due to the traffic the site may be getting at that moment.
Despite our conclusion, my mind wasn’t at rest as I kept refreshing the page and I’m sure if only NYSC could tell me stop refreshing or they block me they would have done that.
My battery was low this time and I was forced to drop the phone. But then the thought of the Kits, beverages, make up sets, shoes, etc, which I have gotten keeps running through my head and my heart kept pounding.
I was just thinking what if it was true what will I do ?
What about the countdown that I was doing on my calendar?
And those that have been looking forward to the day?
Then this agent of confidence came again and told me, since the site is busy it may also mean what they wrote wasn’t for me.
Taking that worry out of my head,I just laid my head gently on my soft pillow, switched my data off and slept jeje because I cannot come and go and kill myself.
Then I woke up the next morning and decided to check the profile o. Just then I knew the God I serve is a God of patience. Thank God I didn’t rush for the registration.
Then waited for some few days which turn out to be two months and then, it was a new year from 2017 to 2018, so I begin to prepare well for all things I might need. All thanks to my wonderful loving parents that made all in place. To cut the story line short, so I wouldn’t keep you in suspense. I later check the portal again after two month passed in the month of January, 2018. And that was when we going with stream 2 checked it, of which I begin to here different rumor again that there will be stream 3 again. Then I told the God I am serving that if truly you love me as a father to his son, do your wonders in my life about NYSC posting and go before me.
Then I checked my profile, alas! guess what.
I was posted to thy Ancient land of Nigeria called OYO STATE!!!!!…Whoa.
I didn’t know if I was to dance, shout, or fly... lol
But I think I opted for shouting sha. I shouted so loud my mum had to call out for me and asked what went wrong
Just then I broke the good news. ” Mummy OYO lo post mi si (Mummy I was posted to OYO).
I quickly rushed to my WhatsApp status and wrote: ” OYO Corper,#Oyocorper, Iseyin camp loading.
I didn’t even bother to wait for people to call me and start asking for the new favour of the Lord… lol. .. I was the one calling and texting those that couldn’t pick.
As I told them my good news they broke their bad news to me. I felt sad for them but I was happy for myself.
Some of them were posted far away in the North, I was hearing states like Borno, Kaduna, Sokoto, Kano, Kebbi.
Some were in the East in states like Enugu, Imo, Abia and the likes.
I suddenly became a preacher and started preaching the word of God, quoting different holy books and trying to comfort them that the place might be a nice place and not what they thought. (even though I never wanted some of those place for myself apart from Enugu, but Man choice is different from God Want, cause I realize immediately that was where God wanted for me all this while).
Then immediately, this quote came to my mind; `Home not far from Home.'
As I was busy advising, just then I heard a tap and someone calling my name from afar. It was faint but I could hear clearly it was my name.
And yet again another super-story
