Rejoice! Part 1

I will like to share 3 grueling experiences with you, though they are not things that happened to me, but these incidences have shaped my outlook towards life. Here they are:

1. It's exactly One year and one month today; I was still serving my fatherland in far away Delta State. 1st February will forever remain fresh in my memories, that was the day Batch A 2005 Corps Members passed out. Prior to that day, there was a lot of merry making in the air, people rejoicing; it was such a wonderful experience.
These guys had reasons to rejoice ; they have served Nigeria for 12 Months and its now time for them to serve themselves, make money and live large. Though I was not passing out on that,but, I was at the Arcade Ground along Nnebisi Road, Asaba the venue of the Passing -out -Parade.
Youth Corps Members from all Local Government Areas in the state began to troop in and it was a happy reunion for many as they didn't see in the space of those 12 months; embraces, kisses, hugs characterized the setting for the day, but all of a sudden cold jitters were sent down our spines....................... To be continued.
