I made it! I went to Bayelsa state and i'm back and boy! do i ave srories or what? I must confess after the first few days,i wanted to go home but i'm glad i stayed;i think i'm a better person cos of this scheme. yeah i know it sounds funny but at the end of it all,i did enjoy camp tho i fought that feeling but i guess if u cant beat them,u join them right?!!
My first "issue" with the whole trip probably started from when i heard it was gon cost 50grand to purchase a return ticket from and to Port-Harcourt which is the nearest sane city to bayelsa, there was no way i was gon to pay half of a 100,000naira to travel for just about one hour!! So i found what seemed like a cheaper alternative at first until i realised(when it was too late)that it wasnt!After "plenty" consultation with travellers of note,i decided to go thru Owerri,i was told by these confused pple that Owerri is "jjust" bout two hrs away from bayelsa.weelllll.......it is if u were flying in and out of the gutters otherwise known as potholes on the road,Jesus Christ!it took about 4 bloody hours,it did!!!
I got to camp around 1830hrs and i was feeling quite happy with and for me,thinking i had beat the rush by arriving on the day camp opened and i was definitely gon be amongst the first hundred! humph!delusional i was!well,i didnt realise this until i was asked to register or sign in or something along the lines of putting my name down and then i saw my serial number which at time was 1015!!! first reaction------the government should make sure parents let their children/wards sleep! what the ........?! Very quickly,my brisk steps probably brought on by my excitement turned into a trudge,i suddenly didnt feel like being with so many young pple!!! i wrote my name and "trudged" to my hostel after collecting my mat otherwise called mattress(note-not that i'm "funkifying" the word mattress,its just that what they gave us probably was known as mattress when it was first bought,but as at the time when i dragged it into block D,it had metamorphosed into a mat,i think some mats are actually better than what i slept on for three weeks!!)
Into block D i walked and therein was my no.1 greatest shocker for the duration of the orientation camp!!!
