BOOT CAMP!!!

October 26. Ma first day of NYSC orientation camp. I really enjoyed the journey though it was crazily long. Imagine about 8 hours in a bus wiv zero leg room, no a.c, no dinning room, no bedspace...... Oh! Must have dozed off. Did I say bus? Anyway, apart from the terrible road, the journey was uneventful.
I saw the Niger for the first time and what a site it was!!! Simply beautiful to behold. Anyway, got to Minna, the Niger state capital around 3 o'clock. Emmanuel went for a haircut and we set about trying to find a cab to take us to the orientation camp in Paiko.
Paiko was interesting. Apart from the first day's mad rush with registration and stuff, it was ok. Wake up at 5:30, stand in a cold field till Nigeria wakes up at 6. Jog, do borin stuff, yada, yada yada.
Camp was fun sha and looking back now, I wished I had blogged it all. Mammy market, babes, guys, booze, MDGs training and all of it. Really had fun. Till next time.
