Chronicles of a Corps Member: Day 3



Today is the day we can officially be referred to as National Youth Service Corps Members because it's Swearing In Day. All the drills and parade routines we practiced was for this day.
We looked good in our khaki get up! (Please zoom in on exhibit A above)

For being a nice dude on the first day, some platoon member gifted me a tin of milk, lady of course.

The FCT Minister was invited and it was a pretty big deal. We got punished for making fun of the minister's hausa accent during the "repeat after me"
You know how northerners put "kwo?" at the end of questions.

There's a line in the Youth Corp anthem that says "under the sun and in the rain"
It was just lyric to me until it started raining after the parade. Shit got real so fast, they made us sit in the downpour and then the sun came and our clothes dried on our bodies. Camp will be fun they said!

My platoon is on duty tomorrow, which means we gotta cook for the entire camp. We apologize in advance.

Say what you like about the Service Corps, but I think the aim is being achieved. The stereotypes I used to have about the Northerners, I now realize how silly they were.

Night party tomorrow, can't wait! Gotta rock the gyal dem!!
