Surprises

I have to say that for a country with so many people looking to work, we take too many breaks! There has been no work since Friday. Monday and Tuesday were public holidays in our lovely country. On Friday people start to leave the Nation's capital, "To your tents O Israel"! Abuja was E to the EMPTY! I won't lie, I love it because I had surprise guests show up and it was AMAZING!
Back to NYSC talks! Wondering where I am posted? Well so am I! In true Nigerian fashion, the call-up letters that were to be available last week friday are going to be avalaible THIS Friday! This is for the letters to be picked up in Abuja. The Lagos ones were only 3 days late. Good for them! Or not? I hear the preference to 'foreign-trained' students to camps they want ended with the previous batch. Not cool because I'm hearing some random postings from the Lagos side of things. People are getting messed up bad! My friend even got posted to Cross River State. Another got Rivers State. Are names drawn at ramdom? People are scrambling to be posted to Awka Ibom because the camp recently underwent rennovations. But after camp you do realise you have to work there well unless you're ready to go through the lengthy redeployment process.
Is anyone a corper this year? Where are you posted to? Keep  your fingers crossed for me still :-D

If there's one benefit to this sun that has turned me 4 shades darker (where's the bleaching cream please), it's that the humidity is amazing for my hair!

My prayers go to those who lost family members and friends in the bombings over the weekend. We continue to pray for peace in the hearts of those that are troubled as well as Government Action towards restoring safety to Nation.

With its worries and troubles, there's still no place like home!

YOURS TRUANTLY,
IJ
