How we found love in Mammy Market. Read 👇👇 the story of NYSC love birds - Mr & Mrs Osawaru

 


We met in Bayelsa, 2010 to be precise. We were both batch C. I was in Platoon 1 while he was in 6. I remember we stumbled into each other alot at a particular Mammy Market restaurant which happened to be his favorite place to eat. 

We lock eyes everytime we see each other. I love drinking coke a lot and never knew he noticed. He said you and coke pointing at me 😄 and I was all smiles. During our Nysc variety night, he sat behind me and stared while I gulped my drink. Few hours later, he pulled me and said he wants to see me. Unfortunately, something came up and we couldn't see. 

Long story short, we left camp without saying anything to each other, we never spoke, he never told me his intentions but I was convinced we are in love but we were trying to fight it.😍😍😍😍 

He called me after camp and I was like how did u get my number? He said he did his mathematics😉. We spoke over the phone and got along before resuming to our PPA.

We were always together in Yenagoa and on my birthday, July 3, 2010, he popped the big question and I said YES. We had our POP in October and two months after, we did our introduction on December 17th  2010 and got married July 7th 2011. Our love story is tale of love at first sight from both end. 

I am Yoruba and hubby is Benin but like our surname implies, what God says, is indeed the FINAL! 💍💍💍

Today, we are celebrating our 9th year Anniversary - blessed with a son, our very own Prince Charming😍More to come in Jesus name🙏

Long live Mammy Market 😍, long live NYSC 🇳🇬@officialnyscng @bellanaijaweddings

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...

How we found love in NYSC Benue - Rafiah and Yusuff

Ride with me back to January 2017, NYSC called and we were posted to Benue. A few days after camp started, a friend who had met us individually said to Sodiq he found a lady from Ibadan who could be his match for ‘bad mouth’ and he asked to meet. Thankfully, we were in same Platoon 10 so it was easier for him to introduce us. Some bants here and there, well you should know who won. Fast forward to January 31, 2017, we happened to sit next to each other during SAED class and his phone gallery scroll revealed we have a mutual friend and that kicked off endless hours of talks and bants. While people were running away from SAED, we turned it to our rendezvous to nurture our friendship. Unfortunately, Sodiq got posted to Vandeikya LG while I got posted to Apa LG. I remember we asked one of the vendors in Maami market how far the two locations are to each other and the guy laughed at us for not sticking to the ‘don’t fall in love in camp’ mantra. Technically, we were just trying to nurture o...

How a random photograph brought us together

  My wife and I met in the most unplanned and unconscious way during our NYSC orientation camp at Ede in Osun State, Batch B, Stream 1, in 2017. She was in Platoon 3 while I was in Platoon 4. We didn’t know each other then.  Our first encounter was during the man o' war drill. I had asked my camp photographer to capture random moments, and by chance, he took a picture that had both of us. Funny enough, I didn’t know her name. Life has its way of working things out. After camp, we were both posted to the same CDS group—Dance and Drama in Osogbo, Osun State. The first day I saw her there, I immediately recognized her from the photo. I wanted to tell her, but I was afraid of embarrassing myself.  She looked so sophisticated, especially knowing she was a foreign student from Houdegbe North American University, Benin Republic, where she studied Accounting. I, on the other hand, was just a simple guy from Ogun State Institute of Technology, Igbesa, where I studied Electrical an...
