#10of21, 6.36am… “Home we go, home I come’. This was Tainy’s response when the announcement was made on the parade ground that morning. Due to the apparent spread of COVID-19 virus, all NYSC camps nationwide were being shut down and corp members sent home. This was day ten of twenty-one. The day before, we …
Why does NYSC even exist? I mean, what gangan is the purpose of its existence. If NYSC were a person, I’ll ask him, “Have you read The Purpose Driven Life? Have you found out what God would have you achieve in your years of existence? If you were to be called to glory raenow, would …
We were in all honesty just trying to make her look better by asking her to wear something less… Oversized, rumpled and in every way looking like a sac… Of rice… Less than 20k. But, she would have nothing of the sort. It was that big, well oversized shirt that she was going to put …

We did not quarrel. Not at all. if we did, this would probably have been better. I would know that I deserved what I got. But, we were on good terms. In fact, anybody that saw us that night would have assumed us best of friends. So why? Why did I get the silent treatment? …
No, there is just so much that any man can take. I am tired. If I have my facts right, despite the recurrent doubts by madam Becq, I am the oldest child in the house currently. This, in the name of respect and sanity should earn me a room of my own, right? But no, …
