From PPA tripmates to life and soul mates



Tolu and I sighted each other in camp at Mammy market once from afar at Oyo state - Iseyin camp Batch A stream 1 2015.

Three weeks after orientation camp, I was posted to the Oyo State Ministry of Information as my PPA. While at Ministry of Info, a friend of mine hinted me that he has a friend that stays close to my residence in Ibadan, who had a car and was also posted to Min. of info. He suggested he link me up with his friend so we can carpool to work together as per to save money on transportation. 

At first I declined the offer because I didn’t want to be a burden on anybody but I eventually agreed to the deal as per “saving money”. I didn’t know God had bigger plans. 😉 

He picked me up at the busstop the first day, then we started going to lunch together, making mutual friends. We bonded and got closer and better together. 

Fun fact. We didn’t even remember seeing each other in camp until about 3years into our relationship. I am from Edo state and my husband is from Ogun State. Our parents were supportive of our relationship. I grew up in Lagos. So my family were pretty much already surrounded by Yoruba people. My parents are open and elite and very well educated individuals so cultural background wasn’t a problem at all.

I studied Mass communication from the University of Benin and he studied Computer Information Science from Babcock. The saying is true that tech guys make better boyfriends as they have great patience to fix things.

5 years down the line, precisely on September 26th, 2020, as the clouds covered the skies, hubby popped the big question and proposed to me. We got married on the 27th of December 2020 with the code #OniTemi20. 

We went from PPA tripmates to life and soul mates. Thank you @officialnyscng. Long live Mammy Market. 

We celebrate you Mr. & Mrs. @badmantolzy @emesopius

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...

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...

We met in NYSC, separated but came back together 😍🤣💍🇳🇬

  Femi and I struck a friendship during our NYSC orientation exercise in 2013. Even though there was always an initial attraction; we were both committed to other things and people and we left it as a good friendship. However, we kept in touch and in 2014, while Femi was away furthering his studies, we got closer and spoke every day. At this point, we were both single and decided to commit to each other. Our friends and family became well acquainted with each other and it felt like a fairy tale. Sadly, we parted ways a few years later. We were quite young and there were a lot of sacrifices we both weren’t willing to make then. However, the love and friendship we had never wavered; and our families always kept in touch and believed that God would guide us back to each other. We started dating other people so we barely communicated due to the respect we owed our previous relationships. My relationship at the time ended terribly and surprisingly, Femi who hadn’t spoken to me in over a...
