How we met in NYSC Ekiti

How we met in NYSC Ekiti - Mr & Mrs Ebi

The NYSC year of 2022 took an unexpected but beautiful turn right after orientation camp at Ise-Emure, Ekiti State. After camp, I relocated to my home state, Delta.

Like many other corpers trying to find their feet, I joined a WhatsApp group created for corpers serving in Delta State. I remember feeling curious and a little nervous, so I asked in the group chat if there were other corpers posted to my local government area.

A fellow corps member responded to my message. He had already been serving - he was from Batch B, Stream 1, while I was Batch B, Stream 2. That was our very first interaction. It seemed simple at the time, but little did I know it was the beginning of something truly life-changing.

Four months into our friendship, on December 28, 2022 to be precise - he officially asked me to be his girlfriend. I didn’t need to think twice; I said yes immediately. From that moment on, our connection only grew stronger.

Throughout 2023, we dated with intention, learned about each other, built a solid friendship, and created memories that still make us smile. Then, on February 11, 2024, he got down on one knee and proposed.

Of course, I said yes again! And now, I’m so proud to say that he is my husband. We tied the knot on June 8, 2024, and began this exciting new chapter together.

NYSC truly gave me more than just an opportunity to serve my country — it gave me my soulmate. What was supposed to be just a year of national service turned into the beginning of a lifetime of love. It’s amazing to think about how something as simple as a group chat message could lead to such a beautiful bond. That's how NYSC, a time of service, blossomed into a season of love.

Today makes it exactly one year that we both said "yes I do" in the presence of God, family and friends. It’s been a smooth sail, filled with joy, understanding, and partnership.

We’re both proudly from Delta State. I studied Microbiology at Delta State University, Abraka, and he studied Computer Engineering at Delta State Polytechnic, Otefe-Oghara.

NYSC will forever be special to us. Long live NYSC, and long live Nigeria!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Ebi 💍👏💕😍

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...

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...

We met in NYSC, separated but came back together 😍🤣💍🇳🇬

Femi and I struck a friendship during our NYSC orientation exercise in 2013. Even though there was always an initial attraction; we were both committed to other things and people and we left it as a good friendship. However, we kept in touch and in 2014, while Femi was away furthering his studies, we got closer and spoke every day. At this point, we were both single and decided to commit to each other. Our friends and family became well acquainted with each other and it felt like a fairy tale. Sadly, we parted ways a few years later. We were quite young and there were a lot of sacrifices we both weren’t willing to make then. However, the love and friendship we had never wavered; and our families always kept in touch and believed that God would guide us back to each other. We started dating other people so we barely communicated due to the respect we owed our previous relationships. My relationship at the time ended terribly and surprisingly, Femi who hadn’t spoken to me in over a...
