From "yes" to NYSC in Benue to "yes I do" - how fate & NYSC brought us together. Read 👇

 


In 2016, I was posted to Benue state for service and I wasn’t happy because that’s not where I envisioned myself serving. I wanted to redeploy but a thought crossed my mind to just do it anyway - besides who knows what good could come out from it plus let me just zero my mind and enjoy being a corper 😀.

I am a Nurse and hubby is a Pharmacist and we belong to the same CDS. My first day in the CDS, I just noticed one 🔥 chocolate walk in and I was like ‘okayyyyyyyy’ but I noticed many girls and guys were doing gum body so I said ‘nahhh this guy go too dey feel himself abegi’ that one pass.

Fast forward to the day my CDS had picnic, we were playing Truth or Dare, that was my first time playing it as I always shied away from the game but I decided to play that day. He wasn’t playing either but he joined us midway and he sat close to me.

It was my turn to take the dare and then they asked me who I would like to marry amongst all the guys there and since he was the only one who caught my attention I just pointed at him.🙈I didn’t even know his name and he smiled at me with all gorgeousness🥰my heart sank.

After the picnic, it turned out that we have a mutual friend who owns a car and he gave us a lift so we got talking, exchanged numbers and boom we exchanged vows today, April 6, 2021. We are now officially 💍 Mr & Mrs Onyeonwu. 

We lost all our Nysc pics but kindly behold the latest couple in town 😍.

Long live NYSC

Congratulations to Mrs @oranu_ella29

The beautiful NYSC love story of Mr and Mrs Enujeke 😍😍😍

 My husband and I met in Niger State in 2009. He graduated from Delta State University, Abraka, and arrived at camp early. I graduated from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. Unlike him, I got camp late in the afternoon and wasn’t able to complete my registration that day but secured hostel accommodation that night. The next day, after morning drills, I finished my registration where we first met. He was among the corps members assisting the new arrivals. We discovered we were in the same platoon— the great Platoon 8 😃 —and from the same state, Delta State. However, I was born and raised in the north, while he had lived all his life in the south. We would walk together to morning drills and head to Mami Market with friends before resting at the hostel. What began as friendship during camp grew into feelings over the three weeks of orientation. When PPA postings were announced, he was assigned to COE in Minna, while I was posted to Bosso LG Secretariat. Despite being in different LGAs...

How I 'dramatically' met my wife in NYSC Sokoto

  It all started on Wednesday, 2nd February 2022. I was posted to Sokoto for NYSC camp, but I had planned to be a “ghost Corper” since I lived in Kebbi, just two hours away. My plan was to only show up for clearances and return home. I was posted to Shehu Shagari College of Education (SSCOE), Sokoto, for my PPA with my friend Firdausi.  After documentation, we were to choose a CDS group. Firdausi picked Freedom of Information Vanguard (FOIV) because it was close to the Corper’s lodge and advised me to do the same, so I did. I still wanted to relocate to Kebbi, but Firdausi encouraged me to attend CDS at least a few times to know how things worked. One Wednesday, we trekked to the CDS venue at Bado Quarters. I arrived late.  As I entered, I saw her—Saudat. A calm, beautiful young lady. I froze thinking, “If she agrees to date me, I’ll marry her after NYSC,” but another thought said, “Forget it, girls this fine here are probably married already.” Throughout the meeting, I k...

We met in NYSC and our fathers were friends from wayback 💖🇳🇬😍

  We met precisely in 2019 during the INEC training for corps members towards the 2019 Elections at Government Secondary School Apata, Ibadan. I noticed her from a distance however I couldn’t summon the courage to speak with her but with the help of one of my friends who was also serving at that time I was able to speak with her.  She was a bit reserved but she communicated well with my friends and I. We had our first outing on February 14, 2019. The ride wasn’t a very smooth one but we became friends and gradually we got closer and we became lovers.  The success of our relationship can be traced to many things. First, although we are both Yorubas - she (Kwara State) while I am from Ekiti - after our service year, we both reside and work in Ilorin - which made the relationship smoother. Another factor which made me conclude that God's hand was indeed in our relationship was that we found out that my father and her father knew each other from way back. This made our union...
