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

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...
