My Deep Regret From Nysc Orientation Camp by muyeskin(m): 9:55pm On May 06, 2015 |
My deep regret from N.Y.S.C orientation camp. I got married in my final year in the University of Calabar and I was living peacefully with my husband. We had agreed that we will not start making babies until I came back from my orientation camp. The plan was that I would redeploy and return home to Calabar where we lived, as soon as the orientation camp was over. A friend called me to say that posting was out so I went to check and discovered I had been posted to Yobe State. I didn't know how my husband would take it. Well, I didn't have to wait long to find out. “Rachael," he screamed at the mention of Yobe state, forgetting to call my pet name. "I can’t believe my baby will be so far from me." I stared at him wondering why he was suddenly calling me 'baby', instead of the usual, 'Honey'. "No baby, you’re not going anywhere. It’s bad enought hat you will be gone for three weeks but not that far.” “Don’t worry Honey, three weeks will pass before you know it and I may not even stay till the three weeks elapses, once I’m through with the redeployment process I’ll be back,” I assured him with my soothing words. I headed for Fika camp in Fika Local Government Area, Yobe State. I couldn't believe that I would sit in a bus for a whole day in the name of NYSC. I wondered if this was the beginning of more suffering. I kept buying things on the road just to keep awake and listened to music almost throughout the journey. My loving husband called me several times make sure I was ok, which was really comforting. We arrived Fika in the night, I didn’t see much houses but I was shocked when the driver stopped and said “Madam we don reach the camp o” “Ah ah, which camp? Where the camp dey abeg, no vex?” “Just pass this bush path, u go come out for the other side of the road then enter bus wey go carry u reach the camp gate, na just 30 naira” “My God I don enter last chance o, bush path ke.” I came down from the bus and immediately called my husband. “Whaaaat!” He screamed from the other end of the phone. “My love please don’t go there this night, sleep in a hotel and go tomorrow, I’ll send you more money tomorrow please.” My husband was so worried so I told him to keep talking with me on the phone while I walked through the path and thank God I didn’t have much luggage with me, just a box. We spoke till I got a bus and when I reached the gate of the camp, I said to myself ‘I don come youth service, no be small’. The place was so dry, the security men at the gate were annoying and barely understood English. I stood there absorbing the misery around me until another officer came to my aid and I was able to enter the camp. I met my first and only friend on camp that night as she welcomed me with so much joy, to my greatest surprise she was also married. That was our first point of similarity. In the morning, she gave me a bucket of water to have my bath and I was so grateful for meeting such a nice person. “It’s time for morning meditation! Everybody out!” People started running out so I ran along but I suddenly discovered I had forgotten my ring on my bed so I turned round and began running back. I had to go and get my ring. It kept me close to my sweetheart. I pleaded with the Civil Defence Corp officer that had come to chase us from the hostel. Luckily he permitted me to go back to the hostel to retrieve my ring. While on the meditation ground, I was not interested in whatever was going on, I was missing my sweetheart and I just wanted to hear his voice. “…under the sun or in the rain” was the next thing I heard and I said to myself “who is doing this one with them, who says youth service is punishment? Anyway, I’ll soon redeploy so that line is not for me”. That was the only line of the N.Y.S.C anthem I grasped that morning during the morning meditation. After the morning meditation we headed to the parade ground for the morning drill which was to be organized by the platoon commanders. I was in platoon eight and my platoon commander was a short, dark but handsome Yoruba man. It went on and on and I started enjoying the camp, my husband would call me every day and to ask when I was coming back home “Honey when will you be back? I miss you” “Very soon my love, I’ve already begun working on my redeployment. I know you miss me and I miss you too” I replied. One day on the parade ground during morning drills, we were asked to hop on one leg as part of an exercise. My platoon commander came and stood in front of me, little did I know that he was interested in me. He took special interest in me and from that day we became friends, he would take me to mammy and spoil me with food and drinks. When it was time for morning drills, he would stand in front of me. well, when there was a corporal punishment, he would exempt me, while others attended seminars I would be in his room watching movies with his laptop. I began to get emotionally attached to him. One day when my husband called I told him I was in a seminar whereas I was seeing a movie in a man’s room. I began to lie to my husband. One of these days while I was seeing a movie, Wale came in and lay beside me. I didn’t realize he was looking at me until he placed his hand on my back because I lay on my chest with the laptop in front of me. “Will you do me a favour Rachael?” My heart raced because I didn’t know what he wanted to ask for. “Let me hear it first” “I know you are a married woman but please, I don’t want you to go. I love you. Please, stay here with me.” I knew I liked him too but I didn’t say a word to him, I just smiled and continued with the movie but he wanted a reply and when I couldn’t give him an answer, he held my face and kissed me, I tried to resist but my body wouldn’t let me. He took off my white t-shirt...then finally I gave in. We had sex that day and the days that followed, I had taken off my ring so that I won’t feel the guilt of extramarital affair but I couldn’t stop it. I was enjoying it, I felt like a single lady again. This madness continued till I redeployed but I later found out I was pregnant. I had to abort it before my husband found out and till date he doesn’t know about it. I live with this guilt and regret. Therefore, if I were to go back to N.Y.S.C orientation camp, I’ll protect my space and keep a respectable distance from men whether as a single lady or as a married one. Not that I would not interact with men, but I would properly define my relationship with every one of them and avoid every unnecessary closeness, because closeness with the opposite sex can lead to intimacy without commitment. Some married women take off their wedding ring simply because they want to satisfy their sexual desire with another man. I did it and believe me it doesn’t pay and it will not pay anybody, all it does is to make you regret. Now, I feel so heart broken when I hear what girls and boys do on camp. That is why I have taken time to write my story. I just don’t want those going to camp to become victims of regret and guilt. I wish I never lacked the virtue of self control. I wish I knew that my wedding right or my marital status was not a substitute for discipline, right boundaries, and firm conviction. My want of ease and pleasure became my Waterloo for disgrace and destruction. MY HUMBLE RESPONSE:Otondos, Better shine your eyes well well. Don't mar your destiny in the name of N.Y.S.C. Forsake not the assembly of the believers. Be commited to worship with the people of God. 1 Like |

Very disgraceful! You have tainted your marriage with a man you met for 5 minutes for an act which probably lasted 5mins. If this guy can sleep with you, who knows how many other corpers he is sleeping or has slept with. You and your husband should go for STD check. your poor husband. 2 Likes |
