When our call-up letter came out in June 2016, we were already in a Facebook Corpers group where everyone posted to Akwa Ibom were asked to drop their numbers to be added to a WhatsApp group and we officially started talking in that group.
However, an ugly incident happened one day on the group where I passed a rude & careless comment at her during a discussion about small businesses we can do in camp and she left the group in anger. Feeling sorry for my misdeed, I sent her a DM and apologized to her. She accepted my apology and we agreed to meet in camp.
We got to camp around 10pm, I called her to come out so I can see her, she came out and we spoke that night.
I completed my Camp Registration before her and hurriedly went to assist her to do hers. Gave her my shoe because it was small and took her over sized shoe to manage.
While on camp, I was platoon 10 Parade commander. I did all I could to impress her so she could like me but she wasn't moved. So I started praying they should post us to the same LGA. Little did I know she was praying to be taken to a different local government so we will not see again.
Posting letter came and I got Uyo while she got Eket. I quickly opened Google to check the map and found out that Uyo to Eket is just 50mins drive. I gave myself hope that I can always visit her and build the relationship very well.
We properly started dating in July 2016. We passed out of NYSC and remained in touch.
January 1st 2020, I asked her if she could spend the rest of her life with me and she said YES.
August 2020 we tied the Knot traditionally and on February 13th 2021, we had our white wedding.
Indeed God is faithful. Long live NYSC
