READ MORE COOL AND INTERESTING STORY ON www.emperorblog.com.ngPART 26 The lectures we had today were based on entrepreneurship development but the hall was so full so I had to stay outside, along the platoon 6 lane. Ella called me to know where I am and I told her am at the same spot we stood yesterday. We chatted all through the period of the entrepreneurship lecture under the hot sun. Am really enjoying her company as we were free with each other discussing so many things like camp, guys in camp, her interest, the guys disturbing her, etc The entrepreneurship lecture ended around 1.05pm and everyone was happy and they had to rush out of the hall and straight to their various hostel. I did some washing before going to the kitchen to get the yam porridge that was served this afternoon. After having the lunch, the trumpet was blown for evening drill and the platoon games. The OBS Studio was dry following the incident that happened in the studio this morning with the soldier man. Mighty mic came around and everyone reported the incidence to him and he said the matter would be reported to the camp director, T.K Shenge. We headed out and were surprised that the soldiers were out already for the evening drills. I separated myself from the guys on the volleyball drills. I approached captain Aminu that I won’t be able to join the drills because I have to report the evening events for the OBS. After the whole 90mins has been played, the game between platoon 5 and my platoon, platoon 6 ended in a 1-1 draw which eventually ends in a penalty shoot-out which was won by platoon 5 by 4-3. We left for the studio immediately and for the first time; I anchored the sport update show. Nonso later came around and we had a great show together. Heading back to the hostel, I met my guys outside the hostel; they were gisting in front of the girl’s hostel. The landlord is a major culprit though; you can never trust that guy. Tuwo and okro was the combination for the night and since I couldn’t eat that, I went to mama Amaka’s restaurant where I was later joined by Ugo and Margret, the new friend I just made from the whatsapp group. The social night was anchored by Ekene and Jessica and it didn’t have much action like the previous night. By 9.25pm, the show was done and we all headed back to our hostel where we all talked and gisted till we all slept off.

PART 27 2 ND OF DECEMBER 2015 DAY 8 IN CAMP “THE CLINIC” I was awake around 3.25am the harmattan was too much. I felt reluctant to stand at first but I remembered I was not at my father’s house so I hurriedly stood up from bed, fetched a bucket of water from the well. By 3.58am, I was done with the bathing and dressing. Calculating by my time, I still have like 30minutes to sleep before going for the morning drills. By 4.44am, the trumpet sounded and I woke up, put on my shoes before heading out to the field. Did anyone remember captain Nwabunike? (The captain that punished my guy and i) I heard he is back and as usual, he has started to dish out different punishment styles to any corper who does not behave well or did not greet him. (Laughs) Military people sha. I no wan do frog jump this morning abeg. After reciting the Nysc anthem, the national anthem and the pledge, announcement was made and captain Aminu informed us that it is time for the platoon 6 to fill the book of life. We marched to the area of the registration ground where we lined up like primary school children. I also discovered that one of the OBS girls was in the same platoon with me, Seyi by name (Surname withheld). That was the first time I will be seeing her on the queue ever since the camp started. Talking about Seyi, we actually met yesterday at the parade ground when I was covering the platoon 5 and platoon 6 games. She sat beside me all through the game and I just can’t help but to start a conversation with her. Back to the present, the presido of the platoon, Opeyemi aka Alopay announced that the entire OBS member must be present on the queue too so I went away to call Tonye and the rest. On getting to the studio, I called the rest of the guys and I discovered has left the queue and she was sitting in the studio shivering. I put off my sweater for her to wear but that still didn’t help matter. The football game referee was the bearer of the book of life. He announced that the book will be filled according to our numbers so anybody whose numbers is still far (that is over 1000) should give way first. Since Seyi’s platoon number is above 1000, I told her of the girls to lead her back to the studio. I got her platoon number and I promised to help her information when it is her time to fill her.

PART 28 As an OBS member, we were privileged (after some special arrangement as being made) to get everyone’s breakfast to the studio. After filling the book, I went to the studio to have my breakfast. I was standing close to where seyi sat down. The way she was sitting and eating indicates that she is not feeling too well at all. Within a minute or two, she rushed outside to vomit. I was looking through the window while I was still eating. Something pushed me from where I was standing so I rushed out to where she was. She was trying to vomit but nothing seems to come out of her throat and its making her weak. I held her to avoid her falling and before I know it, she slumped. With a speed of a superman, I backed her and started rushing to the camp clinic. Immediately I got to the clinic, a bed was arranged for her when they see how urgent and serious her illness was. I stood with her all through the stay of the doctor. The doctor told me to get her some food and water after she has been giving 2 injections. I rushed straight to Mamme market to get her a plate of white rice. Getting back to the clinic, I saw Dafe already with her. I fed her with the food but she was only able to eat just 4 spoons of the foods. I gave her the drugs the doctor asked me to give her after she has eaten. She tried to vomit it but I controlled her and she steadied her sitting position. Ruth, the phonetic girl in OBS is also some bed away from the bed Seyi was admitted. The trumpet was sounded for the morning lectures but am still here in the clinic sitting here with seyi, on behalf of the OBS Crew, time check 9.47am. About an hour later, seyi woke up and requested she wants to urinate. I called the matron to come and remove the drip on her hands. After the drip has been removed, Busayo and I helped her to the toilet. I stood some distance away and took her back when she was through. Around 12.05pm, the next patient beside us requested she has to eat. The doctor begged me to assist her in getting her food at the mamee market. I was given a written note which I didn’t use at all because nobody stopped me on the way and none of the soldiers even mined me. Am back to the clinic by 12.20pm. Seyi was feeling much better. She put her head on my laps but the unfortunate scene happening in the clinic is the patients who are in pains as a result of finished drugs and un- equipped clinic.

Nice one, sir. More updates, please. Enjoying it.

PART 29 It’s really so sad that the clinic provided to take care of over 2,000 corpers is not well equipped. The question is “Is it until a life is lost before we know the right thing to do? That is the condition we find ourselves in Nigeria, waiting to let things go worst before doing the right thing. I couldn’t withstand the crying of the patients any more so I rushed to the hostel to meet ugo who gave me N500 while Goddy also added N1000, I added N1500 to it to make it N3000. When I got back to the clinic, I called Mighty Mic to inform him about the emergency and what should be done. In less than a minute, he was here with the manager, Moses. I told them the situation on ground and how much I have been able to get. He requested to see the doctor and they both rushed to meet the pro of the camp. I was frustrated and sad to the extent that I started shedding tears. The girl was crying in pains and agony. Something has to be done very urgent. Like I said earlier, it’s not until a life is lost before we know the right thing to do. Ugo called me to come back to the hostel which was unlike him. When I got there, he was set for the man’o war practice but his khaki trouser don tear for yansh. Funny guy! He is getting big everyday despite the condition in camp. (Laughs) I gave him my khaki trousers to wear before I returned to the clinic to meet Seyi. When it was 6.59pm, I was called that the dinner was ready so I left the clinic for the studio. Platoon 5 sef try. The jollof rice they cooked was still okay. Ekene called me that I had to participate in the evening show so that leaves me with no option. We had the show for 30 minutes before we round off. Dafe and precious will be anchoring the social night today according to the time table. I went back to the hostel to get my power bank and charger before heading back to the clinic. I asked Seyi what she will be eating so I could go and get it for her. She demanded for noodles and egg. Ella has been calling me to ask maybe we can see during the social night. I promised her I will call her. After getting the noodles at the mamee, I had to feed Seyi like a baby before I went fort the social night. I couldn’t cover the events as I wanted because Ella and I were just discussing all through the period the show was on. At 9.42pm, the show was off and every corper had to head to their various hostel. Ella and I walked back to the path leading to my hostel. She requested to read some of my books for the night since she was bored. I went to the hostel to get my blanket and the book and within 5 minutes, I was back to the clinic. I gave Seyi her medications while I still tried to convince her to eat a little but she refused. At 10.15pm, an emergency case was brought to the clinic as a girl was rushed in into the female ward. Later on, I discovered she was an asthma patient. Na wa o. After some minutes, the camp commandant came in. I was scared and was about to pee in my pants. He came with some of his escort. As usual, he was walking with his walking stick. He asked me what I was doing there and I explained the situation on ground to him. He told me to leave for my hostel immediately that I should leave her that the nurse would take care of her. I got to my hostel by 10.45pm. Landlord and his entourage were still up arguing about their yeye politics. It’s been a shocking and uneventful day. Sitting for over 10 hours at the clinic! All is well. Good NIGHT

PART 30 3 rd OF DECEMBER 2015 “DAY 9 IN CAMP” “THE LECTURES” I can’t believe its 3.20am already. Ejike’s ringing tone had been what has been waking me up for some time now. Ejike the bad guy! At this jet age, he still makes extra cool calls at night, disturbing everybody with his calls. I got up to fetch water from the well. I just have to make up for some things I was not able to do yesterday. The most important of them is to wash all the dirty clothes before the morning parade. After a short queue, I had my bath, ran like a mad man to the room, changed before coming out to wash the clothes. It was around past 4 then, not until I heard the sound of the trumpet. Chei! Its 4.30am already. I packed the washed clothes into the bucket (since there is no space to pack them) and went straight to the parade ground. 4.50am already at the parade ground, the weather was very cold and breezy (if I can use that word). We had the usual morning tea (announcement, etc) before being separated platoon by platoon for the morning exercise. At 8am on dot, the trumpet was sounded which signifies that it’s time for breakfast. Oga lagos, our platoon commandant discarded us after we had a brief meeting together with him. Platoon 6 would be having the drama & comedy night tomorrow so all hands must be on deck ahead of tomorrow. I went back to the clinic to check on Seyi and Ruth. Ruth appears to be okay while Seyi is still having some pains towards the bottom of her stomach. Breakfast of boiled yam and stew was served at the studio before we all went to the multipurpose hall to have the lectures for the day. The lectures are yet to begin when I got there. At 10.16am, the OBS technical guys, Oga John and Jeremiah have successfully fixed the speakers and the microphones so the lectures can now begin. I was at the back stage as an OBS member. The lecture was so boring to the extent that I had no choice but to sleep. I woke up some minutes later when the host was calling the different entrepreneurship skills that are available for training. I opted for the one I know about, which is printing and design. I followed the guy in charge to the class which will be used for the training. The guy did dome painting on 3 shirts in our presence and it looks nice but one thing is missing, my interest was not in it. Some things seem to be wrong with my system this afternoon. When I see that I couldn’t bear it anymore, I walked out of the class to the clinic where I was given two pieces of paracetamol. I went to mama Amaka’s restaurant to eat. I felt so weak and really needed a short sleep before the man’o war training for our platoon by 2.30pm. I woke up at 2.45pm and with high speed, I ran down to the man o war ground where the guys have conveyed already. We did series of training which I can’t really mention of. The training we did was really scary and fascinating. At the end of it all, our platoon commandant, Oga lagos (Mr Hassan) and Mr Aminu came over with a new uniforms which looks really good on them. We later snapped some photographs together in front of the girl’s hostel. After we were through with the snapping, I went to the field where Ekene has been covering the football game between platoon 9 and platoon 10 which ended in a 2-0 win for platoon 9. With just the few minutes I watched, the platoon 9 guys played the best football of all the platoon games have ever watched. Ekene and I headed back to the studio to make the reports before starting the sports update. Ifeoma and one other guy enquire about Seyi from me and I told them she is getting better but she vomited again this afternoon again when she went back to the hostel. I went to the hostel to check on her around 6.20pm before heading back to the studio. On the way back to the hostel, I decided to call back grace, Ella and Janelle. Grace had called me earlier in the week but I was unable to return her call back. Janelle on the other hand was telling me I have been scarce for some days.

PART 31 In as much as our last meeting was when I foolishly escorted her to the mamee to meet a guy, I had promised myself that such will never happen to me again. Once bitten, twice wise like I do say. Me avoiding her isn’t intentional but circumstances has really played its game well by making me extra busy to the extent that I don’t even have time for myself again. Janelle oh Janelle! After the call, I went into the hostel. It was almost 6.30pm and that signifies that it’s time for the show but Ekene, who covered the platoon game has gone to the kitchen to get the food for everyone. I had to wait for him since I didn’t get the full glimpse of the show piece. Nonso came in some minutes later while Dafe, yeye boy is still at the mamee market enjoying himself. Nonso suggested that we should wait for them but I had a different idea. The manager said we shouldn’t wait for anybody that we can carry on with the show. The show finally started with the full sport crew and it was very exciting. After the show, I was served my food before going to meet Seyi at the clinic. She really got me scared when I saw her vomiting some particles of blood. I was scared. This is a chronic ulcer. I really pitied her because of the pains she was passing through. I stayed with her before heading to the social night. I didn’t really participate well as I was with my good friend, Ella, discussing as usual. Landlord showed up and told me that he wants to go and attend Ugo’s birthday party. Opps! I have forgotten already and the big head did not bother to remind me. I told Ella to follow me there but she said she was cold and she has to go to bed. Ugo’s birthday party at the mamee was filled with lots of his platoon guys and girls. He got two cakes while he has also made reservations for lots of drinks. This involves a lot of money mehn and I wonder how he got the money he spends in the camp so far. The guy serving the drinks and I had a minor bust- up just because I told him to serve my guys. It had to take the intervention of a girl and AY before we were able to settle it. The guy was an idiot I must confess. I don’t take alcohol and I don’t attend parties and if not for ugo,I won’t even attend the party. I left there when it was 9.55pm to avoid any form of embarrassment from the soldiers. Ugo came in some minutes later with cakes which everyone in the room feasted upon. Ugo apologized to me for the unruly behavior of his platoon guy. We rested a bit before we all slept. What a day!

PART 32 4 TH OF DEMEBER 2015, DAY 10 IN CAMP “UNEVENTFUL DAY” As usual, someone’s mistake in the room must wake me up and it was the turn of the Alhaji, the guy using the bed on top of mine. He was charging his phone in my socket which was just beside me. I checked the time, it was 3.51am. I knew it was time to wake up and get dressed before the trumpet go sound again. After the sharing the left over cakes to everyone, I left for the parade ground at 4.44am. There has been a fellowship at the parade ground for two days now so I joined them. The drills continued again after we’ve paraded the whole hostel exercising and singing our hearts out in the cold weather. Nothing much happened after that. I was just been navigating from the clinic to the hostel then back to the studio. I got seyi the noodles she requested for, filled and also submitted the certificate format with the performance form. At 1.10pm, I went back to the hostel to have a short nap. The room wasn’t as filled as how it used to be. Everyone has gone to their place of different entrepreneurship training. Ugo also came into the room to have a short sleep, the cough and catarrh has been affecting him too. He came to the clinic earlier to get some drugs. At 2.13pm, I received phones call from Ayodele, one of the girls in OBS hostel woke me up. I knew it was time for lunch. Getting to the studio, I heard they’ve been paying the bicycle allowance of N1000. After having my lunch, I went to the multipurpose hall to meet the long queue. Mehn! It took me about an hour before I was able to get mine. I went back to the studio to prepare for the afternoon games and the evening show. Naso I take go back to my room go sleep jare. It was 4pm. It went to the field after the jingle was blown. I covered the football game while Ekene covered the volley ball game. The game went into penalties after a 1-1 score line. After the game, I went back to the studio to prepare the match reports and to also prepare for the evening show which I later had with Dafe, don’t ask me about the other guys. I didn’t see them too. Social night is here again and it’s the night for the platoon 6 to perform their drama piece with platoon 2 or so. The dancing competition for platoon 6 was quite all right while the drama by platoon 2 was entirely boring. Just felt like heading straight to the hostel. Thank God Seyi’s quite all right now. 9.18pm, still in the OBS Quarter at the multipurpose hall. Everything just seems to be boring today. People started trooping out of the hall in numbers. An event overshadowed the social night also as a female NYSC official; Mrs. Brighton slapped one of the military man. That really took a shine off the social night because everybody was focusing on the encounter. The event was later calmed by the officials there and the drama didn’t seem to interest anybody again. I left there at 9.35pm when the event was still on. Guys sef plenty inside room sef except landlord. We were all laughing at Chinedu that he is going to park out of the room that night. His platoon lost out to Landlord’s platoon today. Landlord later came back and he gisted us how he almost got punished by the female soldiers but he had to lie that he is an asthmatic patient. Chai! Guys can lie sha. I didn’t know I have slept while getting the gist from landlord not until a call woke me around 11pm. The call kept coming for the 6th time before I picked it. It was Seyi, wanting to thank me for all I have done. Ella also called too later on but I couldn’t talk for long because the sleep was still in my eyes. What a day!

PART 33 5 TH OF DECEMBER 2015 DAY 11 IN CAMP “THE CARNIVAL” For the first time since the camp began, I woke up by 4.25am. My head was banging really hard. When I finally opened my eyes, I called the hausa using the top bed to please not to pay music again whenever he wants to sleep. His hausa song played all through the night and also another alarm was ringing repeatedly. I got up, dressed, brushed my teeth, and washed my face before heading out to the parade ground at 5.05am. The carnival was slated for today and people was preparing really hard for it. Alopay, the platoon leader told us to go and bring a white shirt for designing against the carnival. I went to the hostel, gave a guy in the same platoon with me to give Alopay while I went to the toilet to bath, toilet and drank a cup of tea before sitting down to do some writing. It was just some few minutes into the commencement of the football game. I left the hostel for the studio, ate the two akara balls that was served before going to the field. Getting to the field, the referee and other match officials was nowhere to be found and I am beginning to suspect if all was well. At 9.00am, the volleyball game between platoon 9 and platoon 3 started. That was the first time I will be covering a volleyball game and I must confess it was really a good experience learning the game without someone teaching you the lines and rules. Platoon 9 wins the game on a two set to one. Immediately after the game, platoon 8 and platoon 1 started their match too. And as at 10.20am, a message was sent from the camp commandant that the game should be stopped. The first set is already been won by platoon 8 and the 2nd set just began about five minutes before it was suspended. Then I remembered Alopay sent a message that all platoon 6 should meet opposite the NCCF. I walked down with Miracle to the place at 10.30am. Getting there, the guys were busy with decorating and designing of cardboards and clothes ahead of the carnival this evening. There has been a meeting on the parade ground announcing that everyone should go for sanitation. I went back to the class where my platoon was to relax abit. At 11.27am, I went to the studio to relax. It’s really warm there. All the guys were present including seyi. The DG sent a representative to come and address all the corpers around 3pm. He and his entourage spent up to 1hr, 30minutes with their speeches and all that. After they left, the carnival set sail and we can see different costume made by different platoons. It’s really going to be a grand carnival in the camp. All OBS member has a reserved sit with the DJ.

PART 34 THE CARNIVAL IN CAMP The carnival started by 5pm. The event was really colourful. We have 3 judges sitting down on a platform, judging the performance of each platoon as they marched and danced in front of them. A Hausa local dance group came in to perform some nice dance and I must confess it was breathtaking. The dancing took like 30 minutes. After their performance, the judges were to announce the winner of the platoon performance so far. Platoon 6, my platoon came third. Alopay came forward to receive an envelope which was our gift. I really don’t know how much was inside the envelope until I asked him. The second position goes to the platoon 4. Yes, platoon 4, Ugo’s platoon. I was really happy and excited when I saw him come forward to receive the envelope from the state coordinator. Ugo later came to the OBS stand and told me that it was 4k that was inside the envelope. It’s all good thou. Half bread is better than none. With the 2nd position taking home 4k, I think ours might be 2k or 2500 at worst. At the end of it all, Platoon 7 was announced as the winner. It was now the show of dance, excitement and happiness everywhere as dances engulf everywhere. The OBS Members were taking pictures at all angles and they were all happy. After some couple of shots, I retreated to my seat to do some writing. The carnival was indeed a colorful one, in fact the best I have witnessed all my life. I remembered during the performance of the hausa dance group, Seyi sat with me all through and the rest of the guys were Jealous and hailing her name “Seyishay!Seyishay!. And talking about Seyi, something happened earlier today in the studio. When she came in while I was eating, everyone was happy to see her and they were commending me for being caring towards her and they were all saying she shouldn’t leave me o. Chai! See me see wahala. I was quiet all through this period while my face looked pale as if I was not the one being discussed about. The noise was much and they couldn’t stop prolonging the discussion. Ifeoma, Dafe, Aminat, Moses, HOK, and the likes ehn! I tire for them. They were all shouting that Seyi must give me a hug and she didn’t even think twice before she came over to my place to hug me. I shrugged at first but Ekene pulled me up and I couldn’t refuse this time as seyi hugged me really tight. I really don’t know what is in her mind because I can feel her emotions in the hug. My mind was just as plain as anything towards her. As far as am concerned, she is a friend and all what I did for her (which is nothing to me) is just what I think a normal and any other person can do and will do to anyone. From the way she does and acts towards me now, her closeness to me, I just hope she is not in love sha o. Well, I trust her she won’t want to do that, will she? Christy, the head of presenters had informed me that I will be performing or maybe I should use the right word “Anchoring” the social night. That sends spine all through my body as I was nervous and with tension in me. I was told I will be anchoring with a new girl in OBS, which I don’t even know her name yet. Well, we go dey see for stage now, abi? Laughs The manager came in to inform us that there won’t be social night today, I was kind of happy in my mind because I was a bit tired. Mighty mic came in to inform us that there will be an OBS hangout at the mamee market. Seyi got the dinner for the both of us and we sat at a corner in the studio to eat. There is this bond that is happening between us which I still don’t get. After eating, she told me to let us go to the hangout, she holding my arms not letting me go. Seriously, I was blushing. I haven’t felt a PDA before (Public display of affection), even if I have to do that, I had planned it with Janelle, but she messed up big time. Janelle’s matter is a case for another day. The hangout was fun. Mighty addressed us after we were all seated, thanked us for our cooperation. The weather was extremely cold. Seyi kept holding my hands and also putting her head on my shoulder. I was feeling a bit uneasy but I just have to be like that and play along. Something tells me that she’s beginning to have feelings for me but I still don’t want to believe that. I still see no reason why she will be showing me off in public. She was in that position all through the hangout and even mighty mic joked that he hopes we are not the OBS couple he has been waiting for. Talking about Seyi, she is not bad either. Dark, slim, had this nice set of teeth and a perfect gap tooth that could make a guy fall in love but things just can’t work out between us. We can just be friends. During the time I was with her at the clinic, I was able to get some info about her. She is from Ekiti, 265yrs with AS genotype while I am 21, with the same AS genotype too. You see! The odds are not favourable. I just did all I had done in good fate. I took her as a friend, a co-OBS member and a sister. All my cares on her during her stay in the clinic was just done in my own goodwill, not having anything in mind. When it was 9.30pm, I told her I couldn’t bear the cold anymore that I have to retire to my room. She followed me to the studio where I went to take some pieces of A4 paper before I escorted her to her hostel. Getting to the front of her hostel, I told her to stay safe and get a blanket. She put off the jacket which I gave to her at the hangout when she was complaining of cold. After she gave me the jacket, she gave me an unexpected hug as I was trying to put on the jacket back. We bid farewell to each other and I went straight to my hostel. Getting to the room, I discovered it was locked already. Na wa o. The cold don pursue everybody inside. After series of knocking, someone finally opened the door. I got to my bed and slept off. What a day!

PART 35 6 TH OF DECEMBER 2015 DAY 12 IN CAMP “THE SHOW” All through the night, I couldn’t get my mind off Seyi. I still don’t get what her motive was. I woke up around after 5. I checked the football score line of yesterday’s game. I was surprised to see Barcelona draw against Valencia. Well, we’re still on top. I remembered watching the October 1st movie from Tope’s Ipad but I couldn’t complete it yester night. Landlord sef don wake up so we decided to watch the movie together. We watched till around 8.00am when I heard someone was looking for me. Checking who it was, it was Brother Johnson from the church fellowship who wants to remind me about the service this morning. I have forgotten sef. I finished the movie with landlord before going for the service in room 13. The service took like 45minutes with just 3 of us. We had a brief sermon and prayer session. Getting back to my room, I dropped the bible and headed straight to the mamee market to shave my beards. I got back after about an hour, went to the toilet, bath, and washed some clothes too. The guys in the room and I was discussing and gisting about things all around the world. Its 12.15pm, Ugo is not back from church yet. Let me see maybe I can get an hour sleep before going to the studio. At 1.55pm, Ekene’s call woke me up. He called me to come over to the studio. We were served Jollof rice and fried chicken. But you will be surprised to see the long queue in the studio as most of the OBS members both active and the ghost members were all present. In fact, it was that day that I knew some as an OBS member. I just couldn’t stop laughing as different people keep trooping in to get their food. There was no light and they are yet to fix the generator. The platoon games kicked off around 4.30pm. The game went on well and it ended around 6.05pm. Nonso covered the volleyball game between Bibie’s platoon and one other platoon like that. At the end of it all, Bibie’s platoon lost the game on a 2set to one. Platoon 9 won the football game also with a 2goal win. Thinking about the social night, my mind skipped. But can I say am afraid of crowd? Let’s see. At 6.30pm, we started the sport panorama show and it ended by 7.20pm. I made sure nothing was weighing me down so I had to light up my spirit ahead of tonight’s show. That is the first time I will be facing the crowd and at a social night for that matter, there is no room for failure or a bleep up. The dinner was served. I later discovered that Adebisi will be my partner for tonight. She couldn’t eat. She told me she was tensed and afraid. I cheered her up and we went to the multipurpose hall together. People didn’t turn up much for tonight’s show. The show started by 8.05pm and I didn’t know where the courage and boldness came from. I took charge of the show while Adebisi was by my side giving her own little contributions too. I bought 3 recharge cards which we called out for the audience to load. Platoon 8 came in with their dance performance which lasted for like 15 minutes. It wasn’t easy getting the attention of the audience as I kept shouting “corper wee” on top of my voice. I was sweating profusely under my cap, even my palm was wet upon the hand gloves I put on. I cracked some jokes too to make the atmosphere lively while Adebisi was just a spectator. She only does the card calling. It got to a certain stage that I couldn’t get the attention of the audience, I had to change my voice to a female like voice and they were all amazed. Some looked straight up while others clapped. By 9.15pm, we were done with the social night. To me, it was crappy but mighty mic commended me that I killed the show, (For his mind abi?) Getting back to my room, chinedu, the star boy commended me for a great show. Ugo was asleep already. What a day!

Nice one bro....keep it up

Good job �

PART 36 7 TH OF DECEMBER 2015 DAY 13 IN CAMP “DISAPPOINTED” I woke up by 3.23am. I can’t believe it morning already. I stood up, had my bath and slept again till around 5.13am. Ugo was dressed already. I asked if the jingle has been blown, he said “since”. Chai! This guy is not okay at all. They blew the jingle and nobody cares to wake me. Na which kind people be this sef? I rushed up, put on my shirt shoes and jugged to the parade ground. The semi-final fixtures for both football and the volleyball game was surprisingly not announced on them field during the announcement. Since they said no OBS Member should be in the studio in the morning, I was surprised to see Tonye joining the morning drills. When the time was 7.30am, the morning drills was getting uninteresting so I decided to leave the parade ground for the studio. The studio was full. Seyi, Eka, Tonye, Ayo, Jessica, etc were all present. I greeted them all before I proceeded to meet Ekene to discuss the games I heard will be played this morning. But the truth is, the guys in charge of the games don’t know anything about it. They just fix the fixtures anyhow. From what I heard, they said platoon 7 will be playing platoon 3 again. It’s really disheartening after all our complaint to see that nothing was done to the arrangement. Anyhow it is, na so we go do am. Breakfast was ready. Yam and stew again. I left immediately I was done with it. The jingle was blown for the morning lectures. The lecture, this time talked about the people going for relocation. The lecture this time was basically about relocation. The lecture took about an hour. I was with the OBS crew at the back stage. Janelle called and we both agreed to see after the lecture. By 11.05pm, the lecture was over so I went out of the hall to look for Janelle. I decided against calling her but to check for her among the troops of crowd rushing out of the hall. I sighted her holding her phone trying to call someone. Am sure I was not the one she was trying to call because my phone didn’t beep for once. I followed her at the back without her noticing me. I realized she was heading to the clinic. I went inside to meet her there. I was shocked when she asked me about Seyi. I was dumbfounded but I still managed to compose myself immediately while I dodged the question. I kept asking her about her health and why she didn’t check on me for over 3 days. She kept complaining of network issues on her phone bla bla bla but staring into her eyes, I can see some iota of lies in it. My heart shrieked. I was sad. I maintained a straight face all through my stay with her. What she did she take me for? At times I ask myself, is it a crime to be so emotional? Is it a crime to love someone you haven’t even, met before? Janelle is such a player. How I wish I could be opposite of whom I am. I don’t blame the so called bad guys. She shattered my thoughts the more when she regarded me as a “brother in faith” (laughs) I have been a fool. I was still maintaining that strange face which makes her scared. I am unpredictable. I am disappointed in you” That was the last word I said to her before leaving the clinic heading straight to the mamee market to eat. I have reduced a lot mehn. The weather, water, not having a good sleep, in fact everything in camp was just telling on me. I needed to talk with someone. I needed someone who I could talk my heart out to. I sent a text Ella, requesting to see her after the SAED. I was thinking of going to sleep but I changed my mind and I went straight to the SAED class of designing and customizing. We learned how to draw, create designs on our own and how to perfect them. We did like two practices before the class was closed for the day. At 1.10pm, I left the class for the hostel having just one thing in mind, “sleep” read more on www.emperorblog.com.ng

PART 37 At 2.57pm, Ekene’s call woke me up. He was informing me to go cover the volleyball game. I told him I was tired that he should call the rest of the guys to cover the game. I called Ella to know if she is back from SAED lectures. We later met at mama Amaka’s restaurant where I explained everything to her. She advised me from the best of her knowledge. I love her company. I have this sure assurance of a best time with her. Just as we were discussing, Janelle walked into the restaurant. I snubbed her while she did the same too. Ella and I continued our chat and I didn’t care whether she was there or not. I really don’t blame the bad guys who treats girls like a shit, would you? Still at the restaurant at 3.35pm, thinking of going straight to the volleyball court to clear off my head with some good volleyball. I later received a call from an unknown number. I picked it and I discovered it was a call from my platoon leader, asking me to come to his hostel to clear some things. I rushed straight to the place after I was able to get the description from someone along the clinic. Getting there, the man told me I didn’t make a photocopy of the application for redeployment I wrote. He ordered me to go and re- write another one, make the photocopy and bring it to him as soon as possible. I went in search of an A4 paper to write the application and it took me sometime before I was able to get one from Nnanna in the studio. Seyi helped me in monitoring the photocopy stand since the guy was not at his stand. She later called me on the phone about the arrival of the guy. I made the photocopy, and quickly rushed to the platoon leader’s room to submit it. I was only able to get the glimpse of just the last ten minutes of the first half game between platoon 3 and platoon 9. The game ended goalless which eventually ends in a penalty as platoon 3 win the shootout on a 4-2 score line. That was landlord’s team heading to the final of the tournament. It was really a sad one for platoon 9 because they were able to dictate the tempo of the game but at the end, they lost out on penalties. Seyi was with me all through some duration of the game before she went to meet Eka. At the end of the game as usual, I moved I moved into the studio to make the match report and also to be on the sport update show. I forgot to add that I took charge of the cards fees, I which I was able to get N800 so far from platoon 3 and another platoon. Ekene was not around for the sport update so Dafe and I anchored the show together with Nonso. Rice and stew was later served as dinner in the studio and we all wait till it was time for the social night as the time was 7.45pm.

PART 38 It was a surprise to me that Ruth and Charmeen will be the one to anchor today’s social night. Ruth had just her baby phonetic voice while I still don’t know what Charmeen will bring to the table; he is just the fine, handsome big boy in the studio. Getting to the backstage, I discovered Charmeen was drunk. Not that it was excess but everything about him smells alcohol. That now raises the question that is it compulsory or necessary that you must take alcohol before you can be able to face or address the crowd? Moses, our manager was so angry. In fact, everything just didn’t work fine for the OBS group tonight. All the Mics and speakers were not at their best. The performance was good from platoon 3 but it was soured by the non-functionality of the microphones. It’s just so pathetic. I called Seyi to know where she was. After some minutes, she came around and we were under the tree in front of the multipurpose hall discussing. We discussed so many things: family, camp life and when her wedding would be coming up. From our discussion, she told me she lost her mum in 2009. Her Dad stays in Ekiti and he is a pastor. She is also the last born of her family and intended getting married within the next 2 years. When it was 9.30pm, she asked me to walk her down to her hostel. We were talking along the way, with her holding my hands and her head on my shoulder all through the walk to her hostel. One thing I discovered about her is that she is an introvert, just like me too but what she doesn’t know is that I have a way of dealing with a co-introvert. We talked about the rumors going round the camp that we were dating. I told her it is better we tell the guys in the studio that nothing like that is happening between us but she insisted she wants it to remain that way. She also told me that Mighty mic was trying to approach her but since the incidence happened which brought me to the fold, he has withdrawn himself from her automatically. I was just laughing and staring at her at the same time so she can speak more. She said so many things like what her friends were saying too, most importantly the ones that came to check on her in the clinic. After a long talk, at 9.55pm, I bid her farewell and as usual she hugged me. I got back to the room by 10pm. U go was busy eating so I kuku joined him. The room was bubbling as usual and we all discussed and congratulated landlord for his platoon success today. We discussed till around 11.15pm before sleep took everybody away.

Op nice story, it got me reminiscing about my camp life too and also brought a nostalgic feeling of my service year. I really miss those days but one has forge forward in life

PART 39 8 TH OF DECEMBER DAY 14 IN CAMP “THE CONFESSIONS Getting to the studio this morning around past 8, I got some gist about how soldiers were punishing the corpers who failed to leave their hostels when the bugle was blown. Tonye was among the corpers who suffered in the hands of the camp commandant which I later discovered that his name was Captain A.B Balal. The A.B stands for Abubakar Babangida. You might not know him well but whenever you see any soldier with a walking stick, you better run for your life or do the needful. I couldn’t bath early today as usual because I woke up pretty late around 4.10am. I just changed before marching off to the parade ground. With the events that happened yesterday, guys trooped out in numbers. We were also delayed at the parade ground very well today as the jingle was sounded for breakfast at 8.55Pm. Getting to the hostel, I fetched water, bath, washed my cardigan before setting out for the lectures around 10.30am. The lecture was as boring as I couldn’t help but to start dozing on the seat only wake up by 11.40am. I think that was all for the lectures. SAED class in the next thing on line! I got to the SAED class but Mr Agada, he designing and customizing coordinator was not around yet. After about 25 minutes, he showed up with his pair of dark glasses. He was looking different today. Spotting on a dark suit. He introduced to us a new topic i.e Opek printing, screen printing (which I know very well about). The class was interesting when I got to the stage of screen printing as so many questions was asked which made the class very much interactive. Landlord and his right hand man, Goddy the goddynator joined the class. The class was fun mehn. Godwin and landlord were at their usual best throwing jabs at any slight opportunity. At the end of it all, we had a practical which was done by Mr Agada. We wrote the attendance and everyone dismissed one by one. I was back to the hostel by 1.43pm, gisting with Chinedu the star man, Matthew the scanner and some of our roommate before Ugo, landlord and Goddy walked in. I felt like eating pounded yam this afternoon. The only sure place you can get that is Mama Amaka’s restaurant. I strolled down to her restaurant, ate a plate before going to the studion to eat a slice of yam pottage which was served as lunch in the kitchen. I am just looking forward to the second semi-final this evening at the Kangere international stadium.(yinmu)
Nice one

PART 40 The bugle was blown at 3.44pm and lots of us troop out to the parade ground. To our greatest surprise, we were told that everybody should line up according to their platoon. Everyone was expecting the volleyball and football game to start but to our greatest surprise, we were told it was parade that is going to go on. We were forced to sit down on the bare floor throughout the parade, to the dismal of the corpers but they have no choice, do they? We have to obey their commands. We sat and watched the parades for over an hour before we were told to stand up at 5.55pm to go straight to our various hostels. The rumor now circulating is that the camp commandant, Captain Balal as determined that he would force the soldiers to wake us all to sit at the parade ground from 2am. Are you kidding me? He must be crazy. How can we wake up as early as 2am? Na soldier work we collect? I rushed back to the studio at 6.20pm since our show has been slated for 6.30pm or immediately after the news update. Only Nonso was around while Dafe and Ekene was nowhere to be found yet again. Am sure they will show up when the show is about to start. Tuwo and Okro were served as dinner and I just had no choice than to eat it. It tastes nice thou being the first time I will be eating it. I sat alongside seyi. When I was leaving for the hostel, she followed me, clinging to my arms like we’re lovers. We talked about some issues and moreover I told her I don’t like the way she clinches with me like that because I don’t want an issue between her and her admirers/toasters in the camp. She asked me If am ashamed that she is with me. She asked if it’s a crime for her to show her affections to me. Her words stroked me deep down. I can sense her feelings for me, even though she still doesn’t want to spill it out. She got angry and was about leaving. I held her hands and begged her and also make her not to feel dejected. She was feeling really bad like am rejecting her. I talked to her and held her hands and we both walked down for the social night. I made sure I held her hands tight and not wanting to let her go. Dafe and oyin were the guys that anchored the show tonight.

PART 41 Seyi wasn’t enjoying the show so she said we should go and sit somewhere to talk. We sat somewhere and we kept talking about life in general and each other’s past experience. Ella called me to know where I am. I told Seyi that I had to see a friend so we left for the hall together while I left to go and see Ella. We discussed about her challenges most importantly among her friends. I advised her and also encouraged her not to feel bad about it. We talked about it for about 30minues before we realized that the social night was off already and corpers are already trooping out in numbers. I told Ella that I have to go and meet my friend who was waiting for me. I searched everywhere for Seyi but I couldn’t sight her. Her number was not going through either so I decided to go to the studio to check on her. I saw her leaving the studio so I ran up to her that told her I have been looking for her. She does not want to speak to me at first but later told me she is coming back. That was a different Seyi. Something is happening to her which I still don’t know yet. After the brief meeting we had regarding the OBS party, Seyi was leaving and I ran up to her again. She said she saw me talking with my friend and I couldn’t walk up to her. I tried to explain to her that I didn’t see her and moreover, I have been trying her number but it wasn’t going through at all. I held her which she reluctantly released, talked and keep staring into her eyes. We talked while I escorted her down to her hostel. She never wanted me to go but I had to because it was almost time for light out. She hugged me and we bid ourselves farewell. I got back to the hostel so cold. The guys don sleep already since we all expect that we would be waking up at 2am by the camp commandant, the short man devil himself, Balal. What a day! I dressed up like I was going for a night show so as to wake up when the bugle gets blown at any time.

Part 42 9 TH OF DECEMBER 2015 DAY 15 IN CAMP, “BOREDOM” Alarm waked me up by 4.30am and looking around me, I see that most of the guys are awake already, dressing up for the morning parade. Then I remembered we were meant to be woken up by 2am but this is 4.30am. Seems the short man changed his mind or his he postponing it? I couldn’t bath because of the time factor so I just put on my shoes and went straight to the parade ground. It was extremely cold this morning by the time I got to the parade ground at 5.05am. The fellowship was still on and I had no choice than to join them. We were done with the parade and the morning exercise by 8am. The semifinal football game is slated for 8.30am and as usual, I have to cover the games. At the parade ground, I made a new friend, Pelumi by name. We talked and discussed all through when the parade was going on. The football games started by 9.30am since the entire footballer had to go and collect their I.D cards while others went for their breakfast. It was just some few minutes into the game when we got an order from the camp commandant that the game should be stopped. The fans were furious about this decision. The referee and Mighty Mic went straight to the head of sport’s office to lodge a complaint while the rest of us had to choice than to march to the multipurpose hall for the lectures. Not quite long, we received an info that the players and match officials should head back to the field to continue the game. The game restarted around 10.25am and it lasted till 11am before it ends in a penalty shootout which platoon 7 won by 4-1. I was happy for chinedu and I know the room won’t be conducive because the final will be between landlord’s platoon and chinedu. After the game, I was hungry. I had to take my bath first immediately I left the SAED class which lasted for over an hour. Ugo and Matthew woked me up at 3.33pm and I was informed that the bugle has been blown for the evening parade. I have slept for like 30 minutes after eating at mama Amaka’s restaurant. I went to the studio to see what is going on there before going to the parade ground. Getting there, Ekene was busy eating the yeye beans that was served by the kitchen. He was eating like he won’t be eating another thing again today. I wonder if he doesn’t purge with the high rate of beans he will be consuming. Ify and Jessica came in later to inform us that the camp commandant, the short devil was around and he might come to the studio. Nasoo I get up o. Straight away, I went to the parade ground where I met them writing attendance for the people that was present on the parade ground. Not quite long, I saw Ella. We decided to hang around to watch the parade. Seyi called me to know my where about and I described the place for her. Some minutes after, she came. I stood up from my sit so that she can sit while I did a formal introduction between her and Ella. We were watching how the parade was going until we saw the short man with the walking stick picking people from the spectators to go and march. Come see running! I had to leave the field immediately with Seyi to the studio. That short man ehn, his wahala is too much. read more on www.emperorblog.com.ng

Part 43 Dafe and I had the sport update show together. Ayo Taylor, our producer also joined us when we were discussing about the volleyball games. Ayo, HOK and Henrietta were to anchor the social night today. The show went well but the issue was that the platoon that was to perform that night was not ready. Seyi and I were together all through the show having our little talks. We went to the mamee market to eat before going our separate ways. Today marks the end of SAED and am glad I would have enough time for myself tomorrow. 10TH OF DECEMBER 2015 DAY 16 IN CAMP “THE VARIETY NIGHT” I woke up around 3.12am but I still wanted to sleep more. I later woke up at 4.25am to prepare for the morning parade. The bugle was blown at 4.33am and in a matter of minutes, we all trooped out in numbers to the parade ground. After the fellowship, we recited the national anthem, NYSC anthem and the pledge. Seyi and I were standing together on the queue till the man o war took over for the morning exercises. I don’t know what came over me until I saw myself remixing one of the man o war songs and everyone was singing and dancing to the song. We will be rounding up on Monday so I was singing “Monday, Monday, Monday, we dey go home! They all screamed “Monday! We dey go home Monday! Too much of cold we don finish! Monday! They shouted. It was more like a gyration. Everybody loved it. Even the Man o war guy in charge of our platoon kept quiet and was enjoying my remix. After we danced round the hostel, the people on parade was separated from us for the parade while the rest of us was freed but we still have to remain on the parade ground. At 8am, the bugle was blown for breakfast. I went to Omolara’s restaurant to eat what my stomach wants because the yam and stew that was served in the kitchen don tire me. I went back to the hostel to shit, bath and even had some little time to wash some clothes. Ify informed me that we put on our NYSC crested vest for the OBS since today is the variety night so I had to put it on. At 9.50am, the bugle was blown and it was time for lectures again at the multipurpose hall. The guy lecturing is named Emeka. He discussed about Job interviews and the things surrounding it. The lecture was interesting and it took about 2 hours before he finally left the podium. After he left, lots of corper trooped out even thou the lecture was not over yet. There are still some guest speaker waiting to talk to us but it was boring already. I left there at 12.21pm to check outside. Earlier, Seyi called me with Ekene’s number to bring my white T-shirt for customizing ahead of the variety night. Lots of the guys were in the studio including seyi. They dint even bother to come out for the lectures at all. Aminat was collecting N200 for the fee of the customizing. 12.50pm, sitting and doing some update in my book. I waited in the studio till the lecture was over. We no kuku know wetin dey wan give us chop this afternoon.

PART 44 One of the technical guys, Jerry brought out his guitar in one of the rooms in the studio and was playing it. The way he was playing it drew my attention and I moved towards him. He was trying to get the right tune for Bob Marley’s freedom. He tried alongside Dafe. Dafe was also trying to get the lyrics of the song but they couldn’t get both the tune of the song and the lyrics very well. I told Jerry to try something different from the Bob Marley’s tune and I formed lyrics around it. The way I was singing towards the tune caught the attention of everyone in the studio. This made Sylvia to join us in trying out something too. In a matter of minutes, I was able to compose a song for the OBS but it has not blending it very well. I couldn’t believe I could make such a composition that it even made our manager, Moses and the rest of the guys interested and they later joined us too. During this session, they brought in food from the kitchen and it was Eba and the watery Egusi soup. After eating, I went outside so I could get a full composition of the lyrics. When I was able to get two verses complete, I came back inside to continue the rehearsal if you call it that. I knew I have this thing for music but I never had that time. I can twist and remix any music be it hip hop or highlife. My two brothers were a choir at the apostolic church while I am just a normal church member without taking any post or using my talent for God. After the lunch, we had a group photograph while the sport crew also had theirs too. Seyi came to to me so we could have our own personal pics too and we took it immediately. Nonso was absent because of his state of health which I heard was bad and he is still in the hostel. After taking the photograph we did the rehearsal again till around 4.05pm when Mighty Mic asked Ekene and I to go and cover the platoon games final. The game started around 4.35pm and at the end platoon 3 won the tournament 1-0 against platoon 7. Platoon 7 also lost in the volleyball games by 2 sets. Did I forget to tell you that Dafe had my breakfast this morning because Chelsea won their game yester night. Now it’s my time to eat his dinner but unfortunately after the game, we had to change our shirts and head to the multipurpose hall for the long awaited variety night. We couldn’t have our sports chow because of the event so we just have to let things be for now. And regarding he song I composed, we were thinking of performing the song tonight but the unavailability of the speaker for the platoon game final made Mighty Mic angry and he said we won’t be perfuming the song tonight. I wonder when we will be able to perform the song if not on a big night like the variety night where everyone will be available to see it. The guys were optimistic that the song was going to be a hit but mighty mic has ruled it out, we have no choice than to let the sleeping dog lie. The customized shirt we paid for was brought and we all had them on, making us look different and unique. Every one of us had different names at the back, names like Fire, MC Dafex, DJ Aboki, Gold, Seyishay,etc but I choosed OLAOLOWO. It was written boldly and I love it. Its 7.50pm and we were awaiting the commencement of the program which will begin by 8pm. I went to the backstage to monitor the Macho men and how they will line up when the show would start. It was sad to see that most of the corpers are really angry with all OBS crew. Everything that goes bad was caused by the OBS. All the blames was being put on us but what they never knew was that we were also following orders from above. They must know that it is not our fault because the NYSC officials didn’t provide adequate equipments for us to use. In fact, our manager, Moses, was really angry this night and he is ready to beat anybody. Ekene was angry too and we both left the backstage to the main hall. &nbsp
