Memoirs from Issele-uku

Hey folks! This is a short recap of my experience at NYSC Orientation Camp, Isselu-uku, Delta State.

The days there were stressful, hectic and had a little bit of fun included. Enjoy!!!!

Green leaves
Swaying in the wind
Brown sand
Hot beneath my white shoes
Mango trees and fallen mangoes
Everywhere I go

Fully kit soldiers
With their beagles call
White fowls*
Hasten out at the call
To the parade ground
They all run

Long queues
New friends
Very short nights
Days filled with stress and fun
A regimented style of living
Filled with drills and some thrills
Oh! What a life
It happens just once in a lifetime.

  1. I really love how you weaved the words. My own experiences were not too different. But I had more fun because I made sure to participate in most of the camping activities: I marched, ran for the platoon, carried the flag, paraded… the only thing I didn’t do was dance and act on the carnival. And those were because I opted out at the last minute due to cold feet. lol. I didn’t really make friends, mainly because I had old friends around. I truly enjoyed this once-in-a-lifetime event.
