Dottune:
Hehe.. I pray o, glad you could drop by

Milonis:
Bro, I sincerely hope you are keeping your manuscript in check for publication at the end of your service year? I mean like KEBBI: 'Memoirs of a service year"

I served in Jigawa 2014/215 and wrote down my experience and now got publishers interested in publishing it.

Don't just keep a NL diary, keep your manuscript in check there's a whole lot of invaluable lessons people will get when the read your published memoir.
Peace!

Ugosample:

Very good idea...

Just asking though, how was your service year in Jigawa

Milonis:

Overall- rewarding and challenging.

This was what he preached to me !!

But do such really work in our country ? Where you get publisher(s) to publish the autobiography of an NYSC service year? If you go put me through, I take back my words oo ..


@ Dottune, nice narratives and you brought back that initial feeling when I first saw Nasarawa State as my State of Deployment . I kept wondering how I got posted to a State I never saw coming. The State was only heard when school children chanted '36 States & Capitals' every morning.

And yeah, a course mate got posted to Kebbi State too, and I saw her climb on a camel's back (her IG & FB photos) though she complained of the sun .. I came back tanned, mehn!! Rivers State sun has been romancing me all these while .. The North is HOT !!

Finally, fruition in your service year ..

Ugosample:

Dottune:

Kristaps85:

Gud writing bro. Cant wait 2 hear more, especially d "washing canbas, petching water"

Dottune:

BTW how was Nassarawa State? Hope you didn't redeploy? I guess you aren't a Batch B '16 corp member, did you also write a diary on NL here? if yes, can I get the link?

Nasarawa State? Camp went well, and the few days I stayed in the state to sort clearance, accommodation etc, I heard Koffa! Koffa!! Koffa!!! one million times ..

The innocent kids wants to touch you or help carry your bags..
The young ladies can't stop admiring you, greeting you as many times as possible..
The men kept staring at the wrong places ..

Yes, I am a Batch B '16 Koffa .. Don't I sound like one?

Yes, I have a diary, and I wrote about my camping period..

Link? It's attached to my siggy or better still, let me save you the stress: https://www.nairaland.com/2235758/s.h.u.g.a/4

And no, I didn't redeploy ..

Milonis:


Shugarrrrrrrrrr I give up! Lolz
You should have asked me how to go about it

It's better later than never ..

Relax. Believe me, Jigawa is a wonderful place

Dottune:
Lmao @ the men can't stop staring at the wrong places.

Oh yeah!! Their 'lookery' is too much ..

One thing I love about the North so far is their appreciation for corp members, even those that are from the south who live over there, do the same unlike Lagos, where no one gives a hoot!

Cool someone is making same observation. Yes, I noticed they appreciate Corp Members a whole lot unlike what we have in the South . Not even one sincere person called me Koffa (I had my cap and an NYSC brooch on) when I got to PH except for one of the carrier guy at the airport, and a cab man looking for a passenger that tried to call me that in exchange for their services to be rendered. Eye service people !!

No, you didn't sound like one earlier.

Well, I am a fresh Koffa like you .

Following your Diary already, it's quite interesting, you're a very good writer.

Hehe cool, I didn't redeploy too, although when people ask me "sheybi you redeployed na? or you'll redeploy abi?", I just simply tell them it didn't work out even though I didn't even think about picking the form

Well, I had intentions to redeploy before leaving for camp but then, on a second thought (after spending few days in camp), I realized Akwa Ibom wasn't worth the stress (no ill feelings).. Sorry!! SS and SE States are overrated, and yes, I am from the SE !!

Aside that, I thought I needed to start taking charge of my actions and decisions as I will be facing the world soon.. Having lived all my life in the SS (with parents or very close to parents), it wouldn't hurt trying the North Central (miles away from them).. I just pray Nasarawa State remains as peaceful as it is, Amen.

**battling with sleep** Good night ..

Nice...
Very nice
Do they speak Hausa in Nasarawa there?

kingphilip:
sleekshuga you came to my territory without coming to pay homage right??

I'll start soaking your came from now

Hahahahaha!!! Now, how will I know when he didn't whisper into my ears ? Don't worry, we have ten months together. Do well to get me a farmland to start practicing Agriculture as I heard the people of Nasarawa State don't joke with their farming & harvesting periods. Money must be made !!

Dream2:
Hmmm,,need to read/follow Sleekyshuga diaries on her sojourn to Nasarrawa state as I plan to write diaries on my NYSC sojourn.

Anytime !!

Ugosample:


Can you please give me a detailed dos and donts to serve successfully in Jigawa, like lifestyle choices and stuffs like that

Hi shugar,
Read your diary, it brought tears of reminiscing to my eyes (as I recalled my time spent in kano where I served), it brought laughter to my eyes (chai.....ur sooo hilarious. Funny ladies always have soft spots in my heart . Lastly I just felt.......God, you've created another master piece . words can't really express how I felt reading ur diary, so let this empty space below express it



















*finish expressing . Ensure u mention me on more diaries or interesting write ups. More ink to ur pen....sorry mb to ur phone. Ciao

Awwwww **smiling sheepishly** This is so deep, and I am indeed grateful . I'm happy it could bring back good memories, and I'll try to mention you..

And yeah, I actually allowed your space to remain to continue the expression .. Thank you!!

Happy New Year to you..
