Adire and Ankara can’t be the uniform for all NYSC members across the country. We are all not from the SW region.
The current uniform is sexless, detribalized and smart.
NYSC is still one of the few programmes that genuinely promotes national unity by exposing young Nigerians to different cultures, people and ways of life.
Rather than focusing on cosmetic changes like uniforms or ceremonies, we should be addressing the real issues affecting the scheme and investing in practical, long-term entrepreneurship education.
The FG should rethink this.
My coworker, Day 1: "Muna, I brought food for you."
Me: "Oh, thank you, but my wife packed enough food for me."
My coworker, Day 2: "Muna, I brought food for you."
Me: "Ah, thank you! But my wife will be joining me for lunch at XOXO."
Yes, we know some women pursue married men. But as a married man, it's your responsibility not to entertain or give unnecessary attention to anyone who isn't your wife.
We all know where those boundaries can lead if they're ignored.
A lot depends on what you're willing to tolerate and the boundaries you choose to keep as a married man who respects and values his wife.
I genuinely hope you stop playing it safe.
I hope you ask yourself this more:
"What's the worst that can happen gan sef"
The comfort zone is not your friend. It is the place where everything good goes to die.
Again tell me,
What's the worst that can happen gan sef.
Know when to keep quiet.
I did shege for someone today because he is Ungrateful and doesn't know when to keep quiet. I carry you everyday because we go same route and work in the same place but you have mind to say buying a car is a bad investment. You kept saying it till I came and heard it. You were defending it l just smiled and left. People were even telling him that he is saying it near who picks him up and takes him back home daily, he said and so. I just smile and went about my day.
We closed from work, I went home alone yesterday, he called me severally i didn't pick, today I went to work alone, he came late, he got queried 🤣🤣. He came and started ranting to me, me wey no send you. Then heavy rain started today, I entered my wasted investment and drove home, the fool called over 10 times, I no pick.
Hence forth let him spend money on uber or take bus to work. This raining season is for him to learn decorum.
Am I doing too much or he genuinely deserves it🫣🫣. Because the kind of suffer he will see this period due to the location of my office he will loose weight jumping bus or go broke doing uber 😩😩😩
American: So there are terrorists causing problems in your country, right?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: That's terrible. Is the government at least doing something about it?
Nigerian: Well, our president addressed the issue.
American: Oh. What did he say?
Nigerian: He spoke about the law of lawf in the holy book
American: ...The law of love?
Nigerian: I guess
American: Okay. Did you send the military after them?
Nigerian: Hmm... at times.
American: What do you mean "at times"?
Nigerian: Sometimes we've heard the military went after them. In some cases, the terrorists ended up killing military personnel.
American: Wait. They killed your soldiers?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: Okay, so then your government retaliated and finished them off, right?
Nigerian: Mm... nah.
American: What do you mean "nah"?
Nigerian: Well, our president also gave an example from the Bible about the prodigal son on how we should accept them with love.
American: Hold on. The prodigal son?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: I'm confused. So you're telling me terrorists killed military personnel, and the response was a Bible lesson?
Nigerian: Something like that.
American: So you guys aren't doing anything?
Nigerian: No, no. We're doing something.
American: Okay. What are you doing?
Nigerian: We're rehabilitating the ones we catch.
American: You're... rehabilitating them?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: Not prosecuting them?
Nigerian: Not according to our president, no.
American: WTF WTF WTF
Nigerian: I never even tell you anything, you don dey cry
I saved for months to attend a Christian conference where my favorite preacher was ministering.
Not just any seat.
Front row.
Close enough to hear every word clearly.
Before the session started, a lady tapped my shoulder.
“Hi,” she smiled softly. “My church group is seated here, but my ticket is for the overflow hall downstairs.
Would you mind swapping with me?”
I looked at her badge, then mine.
“I’m really sorry,” I said kindly, “but I sacrificed a lot to be here.”
Her expression changed immediately.
She turned to her friends and said loudly,
“Imagine coming to a Christian gathering and refusing to show love.”
Another girl added,
“We’re believers.
Why are Christians so selfish these days?”
I stayed quiet for a moment, then replied gently:
“If giving away a seat is the loving thing to do, why doesn’t one of you swap with her and sit downstairs?”
Silence.
Nobody moved.
Nobody volunteered.
And in that moment, I learned something important:
Many people admire sacrifice when it costs someone else.
But wisdom is knowing that saying “no” does not make you less like Christ.
