How I planned to meet my LOML and it happend - David Jnr

Before my NYSC, I was one of the moderators in one NYSC group on Facebook. I help the admin with NYSC updates, engaging the community, and other stuff.

So one day I jokingly posted that I must marry or meet the LOML during my 3-week camp. When I finally went to camp, I met some ladies, but they were not really serious, so I locked up & buried the idea.

But as for this beautiful woman God gave me as a wife now, ehnn, she was quite different!

We were both Batch C1, 2022. She was posted to Cross River, I was posted to Kwara State, and we both relocated to Oyo State, though we didn't know each other then.

So after relocation, she DM'ed me on FB asking for directions to her PPA because I lived around that area, and it was there I knew we were both in Lagelu LGA, Ibadan, Oyo State.

So we started talking, vibing, and calling but she was playing hard to get. So around the last week of January 2023, I met her in front of my street waiting for a bus ("soole"). She was going for CDS. That's where I caught her oo, we talked and talked; I didn't pay attention to the CDS meeting. My goal was to know her place which I did.

After serious toasting and she agreed, a few months later, she met my mum and I met her family.

Then one day, around June 2023, I called the CLO to stall the CDS for me that I'm about to propose to my babe because everyone knew we were dating, and then it was one of her friends that made her frustrated. I caught her off guard and boom!!! I BENT THE KNEE 💍😉

2 Months later we got married.

I have an HND in Computer Engineering from Ibadan City Polytechnic while my wife is a Political Science graduate from Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU). Coincidentally, we are both from Osun State - she is Ilesa, while I am from Orangun.

We have a baby boy together, and it's been over a year now of bliss and grace.

I want to also use this opportunity to say that we were never given the N500,000 that NYSC promises people that meet and marry during NYSC.

Whoever created NYSC, I want to say God bless you for helping me meet my soulmate. Long live NYSC.

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. @david.jr_77

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...
