    ExAbiaOrientationCampCorper- Audio Plug.

    “Should I bother to plug this phone?” 10.58 pm, it will soon be lights out. I remember that I have not written anything and this is my second night in camp. Don’t blame me. First camp night was meant to be for recovery from the stress of the 12 hour journey, originally put at 9…

  • ExAbiaOrientationCampCorper-Shut Down and go Home!

    #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…

    ExAbiaOrientationCampCorper–Introduction.

    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…

    NYSC: As We Get Ready for Compulsory Isolation.

    Yours sincerely, I cannot tell you how much I have wished and prayed and hoped that this NYSC cup will pass over me. My God! Once Upon a Time…   Some months back, in 2019, the Knight asked me if I really had to go for the one year service (NYSC) to the nation. I…

    Can We Now Talk About Valentine… Or Not.

    Before Valentine, let’s talk about quick somethings from church today, shall we? First, an observation.   When it is announced that it is time to give our offerings, there is a general low rustling among the congregation comprising people dipping their hands into their pockets, purses and wallets and sifting through the currencies they carry…

  • House: Caring for Women in OnG.

    House: Caring for Women in OnG.

    Dear Husbands,   This brings me to another point. Men and women, listen up. Husbands need to be there for their wives during pregnancy, labor and in the first few months after delivery. These women have a stretch of 12-15 months in which they have to cater for some other entity that is not in…

  • Are Commercial Bikes the Real Problem in Lagos?

    Are Commercial Bikes the Real Problem in Lagos?

    1. Nigeria and problems, 5 and 6.   Problem dey o! The problems we have in Nigeria are numerous. Writing on this one thing is impossible without touching on some others. Meanwhile, It is also impossible to touch on all of Nigeria’s problems. That’s like asking the man possessed with a legion of demons to…

    House: Is it Worth Being Houseofficers?

    Houseofficers are rarely asked, “Why did you not go home when ‘everyone’ was asking you to go home?” The other day at the gynae emergency, it was past 4 pm and this particular houseofficer was not on call. Earlier, she had seen a patient but was yet to review the patient with the SR. She…

  • House: The One We Lived at Work 13.

    House: The One We Lived at Work 13.

    KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN READY AND AVAILABLE. IT SAVES LIVES.   In our wonderful Nigerian system, an equipment or requirement is only available when you can confirm that you saw it with your two eyes and maybe even touched it with your hands. You have to be the doubting Thomas of the group, especially as…

  • House: The One Year We Lived at Work 12.

    I Know You Missed Me. I Did Too. Welcome Back.   Even as I put on Chekwaa to start typing this part of the House series, I quickly muttered some prayers, “Dear God, I am only doing this because You gave me this gift and this series was inspired by You. Save me.” Most of…
