How I found my LOML in NCCF Family house

Oluwaseun and I were deployed for NYSC Batch A in March 2020 during the heat of COVID-19. NYSC had suspended the orientation program to curb the virus's spread, leaving me idle at home for months, unsure when I’d resume.

In August 2020, we were suddenly notified to report to our PPAs. Upon arriving at mine, I was distraught—I had been posted to Kishi, a remote village in Oyo State I had never heard of. But after months of waiting, I summoned the courage to proceed.

At the NCCF family house in Kishi, I arrived a few days before Oluwaseun and was warmly welcomed. The NCCF family showed us unconditional love, feeding and caring for us as we settled in. After weeks of staying, we were assigned roles — Oluwaseun became the Music Director, while I was elected the Uncle of the house and later the CLO by my LGI.

During our time at NCCF, Oluwaseun and I became close, and she helped me grow spiritually. On our POP day in February 2021, I was excited to leave Kishi for good but saddened, thinking it might be the last time I’d see her. I grabbed her hand, and we ran to a photographer. I paid for two copies of our picture—one for her, one for me.

Fate had other plans. In March 2021, she called, saying she had a job interview in Lagos and needed a place to stay. My parents agreed to host her for the night. After she returned to Ibadan, our relationship officially began. We talked constantly, and when she got the job in Lagos, she relocated. I had also secured a job around the same time.

In June 2024, a few days after her birthday, I proposed with help from her best friend, Lashe. Overwhelmed with joy, she couldn’t hold back her emotions. In July, we had our introduction, and I met her wonderful family.

By March 2025, we had our court wedding, legally sealing our union. Now, we eagerly anticipate our traditional wedding this April.

It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m grateful to NYSC for giving me the best gift I could have ever wished for— My Soulmate.

Long live NYSC. Long live Nigeria

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...
