Welcome to Corpers Diary

Az and I met in 2016 at Lagos orientation camp. We met one morning on the parade ground during morning drills. For years we have argued about who approached who first but for the sake of this story, I'll say he approached me first lol. It wasn't love at first sight, lol it was far from it. He has a very calming personality that makes you trust him easily and when we hung out the evening of the day we met, I confided in him about some personal stuff I was going through and he listened without judging.

He got a PPA quickly while I was chesting rejection letters back to back so I kept changing LGAs meaning I didn't have a CDS group yet. He was in...

Although we camped in different states - I was posted to Delta and he was posted to Jos - but we relocated. He wanted Ondo but he was given Oyo state. Two of us from different camps were making relocation plans but fate and destiny had other plans - so we met.  In truth, I did not like him at first because I felt he was proud so I was on good terms with my other colleagues but not him - unknown to me that he was quietly monitoring me.

I even dissed him by telling him he did not have what I wanted in a guy so that he could leave me alone but all my rhetorics fell on deaf ears.  Another truth was that I knew I was going to 'Japa' soon so I did not want to start what I wouldn't finish.

This is Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, the Governor-elect of Plateau State. NYSC took him to Kaduna State and it was there he met his beautiful wife who is also a lawyer.  His wife, Barr. (Mrs) Helen Mutfwang, formerly Helen Ingbo Goldie, was born in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, an indigene of Brass LGA, Bayelsa State and first made her way up North to Kaduna in 1991; for her youth service under the NYSC Scheme, after she had finished her Law School in Lagos State. She would eventually meet Caleb in Kaduna; who as stated earlier was mandated to serve in Kaduna as well. They got married on the 13th of February, 1993, a true testament of the NYSC’s development of common ties among the youths of Nigeria; and promotion of national unity, irrespective of cultural or social background. Together they have three children Timothy, Nanbam and Enoch.  He becomes the third Nigerian governor who married the woman they met in NYSC after Engr. Seyi Makinde, Governor of Oyo State and Arakunrin Rotimi...
