MY NYSC DIARY

Well this is the new word I heard today. What does it mean and how did I come by it.

Got this on fb today and would like to share it cos it's also applicable to me.  A young man learns what's most important in life from the guy next door.Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday ." Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. "Jack, did you hear me?" "Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said.. "Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it," Mom told him. "I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said. "You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life," she said ...

It is a very interesting one. You get to live with people of diverse culture and believe. Anyway am enjoying mine and am learning more about people. I can speak small Izon now.

TUESDAY 5TH 2011 This is supposed to be the camp official opening day. Anyway since I've started my registration I had less to do.   But it was not so for people who came late or will just be coming today.

The camp is supposed to be officialy opened on July 5th, 2011, but you know for some" ITK's" like me we came on July 4th. So my nysc year and events actually starts from July 4th. I left the big city of Lagos for Delta/ Rivers state in the morning around 8:30 am. I was actually posted to Bayelsa state and the camp was located at  Kaiama Grammar School, K aiama, Kolokuma/Opokuma L.G.A. That sound tongue twisting abi, that was actually how I felt going to such place.

You are welcome to my world. This is my NYSC diary where I intend to try to capture the events of each day from orientation programme to passing out parade(POP)from NYSC. Waoh-that's a strategic plan because the service year is one (1) whole long year. For a start my plan is to record my day to day activities at the orientation camp. So keep on reading and following.
