Nigerians know how to blow things out of proportion ehn. Everyday we shout over little things and place emphasis on what is not. Before I started my NYSC service year, I heard all sorts of stories, both positive and negative. It was like NYSC was the end of the world. It was so bad that if service was optional, I probably wouldn't have gone. But as I was left with no choice, I embraced the change and flowed with it. The year is rounding up now and I have loads of stories to tell; the good, bad, funny and downright ridiculous.
Asides the real life story, I decided to weave a fictional story about the NYSC theme. I titled the novella 'Missing' and I'm set to release in a few days.
At the end of the day, it's always up to us to make our stories and tell them.

Me: What's your favourite NYSC moment?
P: Maybe when we went mountaineering. It wasn't spectacular, but then...OH noooo! It was when I was walking out of camp with all of my luggage. It was like my prison term had ended.
Me: Haha

I guess some had it worse than others. I enjoyed the marching drills sha, although it was cut short by the peer educator training I had on camp.
