We came into camp about 24 days ago to a state about 95 percent of us barely knew, and we were praying to be impressed, well the NYSC officials did their part and ensured we had optimum hospitality, 3 square meal......how ever little nutrient present but generally fair, water supply, a place to sleep, we were about 170 in a room (yes i counted the bunks) which was actually big enough just for 170, hence a lot of heat plus no fan. But this and many more anti-hotel activities should be expected right? I mean hey its an NYSC camp not the Burj khalif hotel abi? So this we swallowed and accepted as part of the drill. Where the problem started was when the state coordinator told us the state has no amount allocated to its corpers, this had everyone grumbling in disagree, people kept shouting "awka ibom, enugu..." turns out these states pay, oh well this was the beginning of condemnations from all corners, people started to talk about the bad roads they passed through coming to camp, like that, like that.
Next was this, we were trained almost thrice in a day on the parade for how to welcome the Governor for the swearing in ceremony, everyone was excited to finally see him......the man with the gorgeous wife huh? But that they came and even a look alike of Governor Aliyu Adams Oshiomole was nowhere near Okada camp, what a dissapointment, even more dissappointing when your friends from other states call and tell you their Governor is around, oh well he was represented by Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, who didnt make a mistake of not using his latin and greek english in his speech, sha swearing in ended, but no one felt happy with the governor at all, people said he knows he is rounding up his second term and with that he need not please anybody anymore........it is was kinda true. The next day precisely practice for the closing ceremony began, and the whole platoons were shortlisted down to the best matchers (No, im not sure there is something like matchers), thing is i happened to be one of them, and for more than 15 days twice daily when the sun rises and when its at its disastrous peak in the afternoon till it sets we trained, we rehearsed salutes to the proxy governor who we were assured was gonna show up.
Well rain became fog and fog became harmattan and the final day came, arrangement were made, flags were raised, the band was set, the Parade Guards (please change that matcher to parade guard) we stood in the sun 'at ease' waiting for 'the People's Governor' for over an hour, crested vest was soaked wet , alas who showed up, a representative yet again, that just did it, that was the last something that broke the camel's back. We were done having any hope on a Governor who couldnt read our oaths to us let alone wish us well in his state, no one is speaking well of him or spoke well of him in camp, if they did it was about when he was the Labour Congress leader and he knew how to fight for people's right, talkless of now...."we that share the same uniform with you, abi izit not Khaki you wore mostly?" Governor Aliyu Adams Oshiomole needs to right this wrongs.
