Some predecessors had made NYSC look like it's a total waste of time. No it wasn't. It is a one whole year I would wish for again(yes, I meant that)... Serving in a church as a pianist, graphics designer, Media director and Creative writing/English Grammar/Literature in English teacher was heart warming. More than that, I didn't only had the opportunity to serve the Nigeria of my dreams, I served God too. It was stupid when I told people I served in a church: Victory Int Church of Pastor Taiwo Adelakun but I followed God.

In less than one year, I was able to chronicle my priceless experiences, feats, challeges and how I was able to overcome them achieving worthwhile results. I wouldn't have written my new book, "Mbok Don't Kopa Me" which is my first work of creative non-fiction, my second book and has received over 1500 downloads.

I wasn't the best, God's grace was the reason and I return everything to Jesus today. I served as the state's Graphics designer and creative director for the NYSC Akwa Ibom designing the monthly newsletters, banners, social media-ads and the Cover page of the final POP Magazine.

Through my Creative Writing Initiative: "Write Now", we trained over 150 students in Uyo metropolis and published a magazine. More than than, I have learnt patience, diligence, service, humility and building networks.

Today, as we move to the next phase through God, not through man, I'm privileged to be part of the 5 to have received an NYSC/State Award for having carried out a Personal CDS successfully. I held my tears as I received this remembering all the hurdles I went through walking all over streets in rain and sunshine to get sponsors. Enough said, only praises to God.

Your write up was making sense, until you claimed that back of the wood University is prestigious.

Did not even know Osun State had a University. Too much mushroom schools popping up everywhere.
