How A Youth Corper Escaped From Being Kidnapped In Abuja Yesterday

Make una help me thank God oo.. I'm a batch C youth corper posted to abuja but not yet serving oo, I was rejected last week by a govt office that wasted over 3weeks of my time due to come back next week talk before I was issued a rejection letter on friday. Was sadened through out the weekend but hoped on God this week shall be fruitful.



Monday morning (yesterday) stepped out on my ironed 4 over 7khaki combinations with the mind of combing the nooks & cranny of abuja streets till I get a PPA as abuja NYSC don tell us to go find PPA ourselves, naso I waka round gwarimpa, jabi,wuse 2 come enta jahi district.. All the offices & schools are either singing we already have enough corpers chorus or we don't take corpers. Entering jahi district with the last 210 naira I said to myself if this area fail to provide a PPA na swear I go swear for abuja NYSC.



Saw a very nice second school, my head swell say if I can get this place I go happy oo. Na so I start dey smile go d gate I wan enta d gate na him one angry looking security man bursted out from one lungu.. HEY!!! Otondo wetin u dey find!!!.. With my cool,calm,educated,corperish, fake abuja accent I said I'm a youth corper I want to..... HEY Mr man I'm not blind I can see u are a corper d question is What are u finding!!! Shuooo.. (Finding?? , I dare not laugh), with a smile I want to see the principal.. Are u with a formal letter?? I replied No, is he aware u are coming?? My reply, NO. So my friend move from here before I change my mind, as I be gentleman I tried to calm him down.. Naso ds man turn enta d lungu as e dey cum back na him I see dane gun for him hand.. Omo I no even double up oo I deca-hepta double my legs up ni oo.. Who wan die, with my waka about na so I see another school, d security sitdown for executive chair oo for d gate.. Na so I greet am..who u dey find? The principal.. Do u av any letter, No. Is he aware of ur coming..(Remembering d last episode, I can't let ds one slip away, God forgive me cos I'm about to lie) I answered confidently YES!!!, do u have his number?.. (Devil thank U fr bringing ds lie very fast) I misplaced it sir that's why I'm even here, corper u careless oo.. Sorry sir I muttered. But d principal neva come (by 12:25pm??), I said Oga abeg can I see the admin pple?? Ok oya go straight enter right, turn left u go see one fine office na there dem dey.. Fast-forwarded .. We need biology teacher but u studied Agric econs.. sir I can teach biology oo very well sir, I can teach anything I said to the principal after waiting for over 2 hrs.. Okay I will help u, he issued me a request letter.



Instantly I dashed out of the school gate, it was a minute past three.. With my calculations I can get to NYSC zone 3 office bfr 4pm so as to submit my letters, that will make my reposting letter to be ready by wedsday or thursday. Northerner oya carry me go gwarimpa express junction by next cash and carry. Alighting from the bike I was left with 110naira.. God how I go take do oo was d sentence racing thru my brain.. I waved down a construction hilux jeep, oga abeg help me I dey go barnex and I'm short of cash, come in was the answer I jumped in. The man said I'm heading to mabushi so u will av to drop before barnex bridge, thank u sir I'm really grateful, I dropped at d mabushi by pass, time was 3:14pm, I don calculate say with the remaining 110 I go beg any cab make he help me reach wuse with 60naira then from wuse I go see zone 3 for 50naira..
