From NYSC account officer to LOML



 I met my husband Abisoye in 2013 during my NYSC programme in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state. I was assigned to the bank where he was worked to open my NYSC salary account. 

On getting there, the account officer that was meant to attend to my request was not available. While waiting for him, Abisoye showed up and introduced himself and offered to assist with the account opening process. As a result, he got my contact details and agreed to inform me once my account is created so I could complete my NYSC documentation. True to his words, he called me few days later to inform me that my welcome pack was ready for pick up. His kind gesture helped me to close out on my documentation process as I was already close to the deadline. 

Ideally, I thought our few days of ‘’bank friendship’’ would end at that point but I was wrong. About a week after our last encounter, I was surprised to see his call and after I curiously picked up, he said, ‘I just wanted to inform you that I have been transferred to Lagos and I felt you should know.’ In my head, I was wondering, ‘how this news take concern me now?’ So, I just wished him all the best and moved on. 

Throughout my stay in Uyo, he consistently reached out and of course, we became friends. We decided to take the friendship further after about a year of being friends. Initially, it was a bit tough and at some point, we concluded that maybe we were not compatible for each other. As God would have his way, we pulled through! 

Abisoye proposed to me September 2017 and we got married the following year. Our marital journey so far has been amazing! And we've also been blessed with a wonderful son. We’ve grown to love, respect and understand each other more. Most importantly, we understand that the institution of Marriage cannot thrive without putting God at the centre of it all. 

Our goal is to build a home worthy of emulation with God on our side. 

Long live NYSC. 

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Bamgboye

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...

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 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...
