21 days in WANNUNE (PART1)


 The pressure I felt expecting my call up letter isn't as much as what I felt when I got my posting letter, as a being that wants to explore her fatherland, I ignored direct posting and my fingers crossed and mind was ready for adventure. Slept off checking my dashboard only to wake up to the call of my friend at around 01:00 am that call up letter is out...., Immediately, I picked my phone to see what life had planned for me and I was bewildered when I saw BENUEπŸ˜­πŸ˜‚, It strucked me immediately that I had made a grave mistake but the adventure part got me thrilled. Preparations was made and my ever supportive parents made sure I didn't miss a thing 😊(I'll go extra miles for them too😍).

I had to go through Ibadan as a large number of people I know opted for same, and I cannot allow boredom eat me in 19hrs journey. I arrived the park late and missed half of the persons I was supposed to journey with but as always God works in mysterious way, the new faces I journeyed with were my roommate and there is a bound of sisterhood between us😊. We arrived camp very late but I had the fun of my life trying out different meals and seeing places I only viewed online and was taught in school...

I was still very excited that my village people lost this one, not knowing I used my own hand to buy job and premium wahala πŸ˜‚, we were welcomed with biscuits, pure water and Fanta, and, directed to our rooms, everything went well that night.... I was brought back to life by a deafening trumpet sound at around 4am in the morning πŸ˜‚, I was scared, confused and I swear I cursed silently, only if I knew what was coming for me, but, I didn't. Soldier ti de( soldiers are here), was the next thing I heard, I still wasn't scared, because I never saw it as something to be scared of. Angry that I couldn't take my bathe, dresses up and went out, only to see people squatting down (I be like is this, playing πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚), a whole government property should squatt down,laduru qualifications ti mo niπŸŒšπŸ˜‚, it was as if God heard my complaints, because, a nice female soldier came to bail us out, but we were asked to double up...in the course of my double up, I had my first scar that morning, I fell hard to the ground and rolled down from the hillπŸ˜­πŸ˜‚, I thought I saw death and then remembered I had signed for death and emergency, I saw stars(literally), my arm paralyzed, my body numb, I cried for my mumπŸ˜­πŸ˜‚....
