Hello NL expatriates,

I will start by saying a huge thanks to everyone who reached out to me and extended arms of friendship and companion, God bless you all immensely. I am doing great now, not much has changed but I took your advices and i am much happier now

Sooooo, I have some plans after graduation and one of them is to come back to Nigeria for NYSC. I am not aware of what the process is for diaspora students, but i would love to make arrangements early. Although I have found a great amount of resource on the NYSC website. I am hoping to hear from anyone who has "been there done that".

Thank you

Are you not going for Post graduate work permit?.

Sometimes I look back at this post and realize how desperate I was to crawl back to my comfort zone, where communal living is the norm, where I can easily make friends and vibe with folks who effortlessly hear my tongue. I wanted to feel the warmth, liveliness and energy of the life I used to live, a few years ago.
I yearn for true friendship, valuable connections, lasting relationships, genuine acquaintances...everything else is going pretty well but, I wanted to be part of something, like a family, I wanted to feel much more valued and appreciated. I wanted to be somebody to someone, not a boyfriend or husband lol no, I mean a circle of people I can rely on and vice versa. I have felt so lost that I wanted my people and I wanted it fast!
That's where the thought of going back to Nigeria for NYSC crept in, it felt like the best thing to do at the time. But alas, I forgot, I am in a different dimension, a "new dispensation", another man's land, therefore I have to learn to build what I truly desire. I have to quit trying to run back to my father’s land and disembrace the palette of my mother's tongue. It's been a slow, steady and unravelling journey. I am especially grateful to all the kind and loving people on this forum who have shown me nothing but love, encouragement and well-meaning advice, may the Lord continue to bless and comfort you all. I am still learning, growing, and crying sometimes, but I assure you, I am in a better place now. Thank you!
