The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) founded in 1973 is a mandatory one year program that every Nigerian graduate must undergo, with it purpose of fostering national unity & cohesion.⁣

First of all, I would say am happy to get a copy from @lazykorfa because, I feel like this book has ignited a little bit of reading spirit into my younger sister.
⁣
It happens to be first book with up to 100pages she's reading, saying at least this one doesn't look like those bibles you have.⁣
She shared her own review with me and her conclusion was, she doesn't want to undergo NYSC because she isn't ready for another dormitory experience (She's currently a boarding student).⁣
⁣
The surprising part is, she is currently reading Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie Ngozi, little by little.⁣

📖⁣
On my own end, this is a book I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a clue about what they should expect in NYSC and is looking for a light and interesting read.⁣
It talks about the jolly, crazy, good and bad moments in camp.⁣
⁣
I needed something light to get me into reading back and this book did a good job to it. ⁣
⁣
Their is something about this book that you should just get it to read, like the title 😂. I didn't aspired it as my friend would say, rather than expected it.⁣
⁣
To be frank, NYSC isn't something I want to experience (sorry not sorry 😌. I don't like stress).⁣
I was lazy back in boarding school hostel, still date I would rather eat, read or watch movie than going out for an excercise.⁣ My excuse is, which fat I won burn 🤷🏾.
I now have a picture of what it would be like when the time comes.
