CAMP TALES (Episode 3)

-



14th November

Dear people,

Today in camp was very interesting as I am getting used to the environment although I haven't gotten used to the camp food. Blame my tummy for that: it keeps rejecting the food. 

As for the morning meditation, I would say it is not easy waking up very early and subjecting oneself to cold all in the name of serving one's fatherland. But do we have an option? The clarion call has been made and we need to obey. Guess what? I escaped the morning drill and parade today. No, I didn't run away. My platoon was scheduled for morning lecture so all we did was to sit down, listen and of course, press our phone cautiously like a thief.

Ehn ehn! I must not forget the boring three hours lecture we had. I slept, woke up and slept again. At some point, I wasn't even listening because my comedian platoon inspector kept entertaining us with jokes. After which we went for break: the break lasted for two hours. Trust me to have catch some sleep. Baby girl was about seeing the welcome to Lagos signboard when I heard the sound of our greatest enemy: the trumpet. I had no option but to jump out of bed and run to the parade ground.

The parade took a different turn today as the state commandant was not too happy with our progress. He already signed ten punishments into law, to be given to erring corp members. Needless to say the race has just begun and we need to buckle down.

As a result of the scolding, the RCM changed towards us and handled us with iron hands. Mehn! Na today I know say parade no be moi moi. You needed to see people fainting. In fact, let me call it a fainting spree and these people didn't even look there. They continued calling order.

"Pre shun!" Went the voice of the RCM with a tone of seriousness while other soldiers looked out for erring corpers and fall them out.

Kai! You need to see the tension in the air. Sweat kept rolling like stream on the faces of each corp members while the soldiers laughed on at our naivety.

But wait o! I didn't faint. That means I'm stronger than I think.

However, the good news is that today is welcome party. Let's go and gbese and carry body. 

Did I eventually gbe body? No! Daughter of Zion was extremely tired and all she could do was sit and look away.

Nawa for who wan collect 33k o! 😭

DETERMINE YOUR CIRCLE

  I was going through my telephone address book dated 2008/2014 yesterday and discovered that I was no longer in contact with 90% of the people I had recorded therein. It is not like they became a bad person all of a sudden but there is every plausibility that we outgrew each other's relevancy. Now this is the real deal. Life is in stages and so is growth and development. Consciously or unconsciously, there are numbers of behaviour cum people you leave as you grow. You are not doing this because you feel you can just use and dump them but solely because you need people who shares the same ideology, dreams and visions with you. The people you surround yourself with goes a long way in determining the rate at which you achieve your purpose. However, I smile when I hear people say they keep small circle because they don't want drama. Of a truth, no one loves drama. Having a small or large circle is not the bone of contention but the value they add to your life.  This is th

FASHION GONE WRONG

Fashion rule says do not over dress or under dress; in all things keep it classy, simple and elegant with the right accessories that blend with the occasion. But we have, at some point, gone against this rule. Today I will be sharing my own fashion gone wrong series. Sit, relax and enjoy. My first fashion gone wrong experience could be traced back to when I was in SSS 3. We all could attest it to it that there is this aura affiliated to being in that class which ranges from being the senior of all classes to the independence that is soon to come. Being a boarder, we had little or no time to showcase our sweet body and fashion sense as we were clad in oversized check uniforms throughout the school term time. So our only escape route was during jamb. Oh yes! Everyone wanted to look peng to the exam hall. Prior to the exam day, we had selected our clothes and shoes, carefully pressed them and hanged them waiting for the D-day. On the eve of the exam day, everyone kept talking of
