How we met in Kogi camp - NYSC love story of Charles & Stella Agaga


It was at the 2018 Batch B Kogi State NYSC orientation camp, Kabba Bunu LGA, where I first met Patrick, and little did I know that our chance encounter would blossom into a beautiful journey of love and growth. 

What drew me to him was his unique blend of intelligence, kindness, and authenticity - a refreshing change from the usual crowd.

As we spent more time together, I was impressed by his academic prowess and his passion for learning. But beyond that, I was touched by his genuine interest in me and his desire to be around me. He confessed his feelings early on, and I was swept off my feet by his sincerity and charm.

Funny enough we went to the same university, Ambrose Alli University but we didn't know in school, i studied Theatre and Media Arts, He studied Geography. He's from Edo state, I'm from Delta.

Three years after our first discussion, we decided to make it official. Our parents never had issues with our relationship, his parents immediately accepted me, so did my family. 

I really did not like the idea of proposing with a ring, it doesn't seem African, so I told him we should skip that part and get married when we can afford marriage, so on the 21st March 2021, we exchanged vows in the presence of family, relatives and friends to become Mr and Mrs Charles & Stella Agaga. 

Our marriage heralded a new chapter in our lives. And today, we're blessed with a beautiful daughter who brings us even closer together. Every day with Patrick feels like the day we fell in love - full of laughter, joy, and gratitude. Our journey hasn't been perfect, but it's been worth it, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us.


God bless NYSC

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 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...

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...
