My Funny NYSC Story 🤣

Serving in a village where everyone knew I was the “Corper from the city” was already a full-time comedy show. But the real highlight?
One morning, I greeted an elderly man with my best “Good morning sir!” — only for him to reply:

“Corper, you’re greeting me like that because you want to collect wife from this village, abi?”

Before I could even laugh, someone else added:

“Don’t worry, we will find wife for you. Just finish your clearance first.” 😭

From being offered cassava as “takeaway” after CDS to children calling me “Otondo!” like it was my real name — NYSC will humble you in ways school never did.

But honestly? I wouldn’t trade the memories for anything. 🇳🇬
Every corper has a story… this one is mine.
