What is NYSC camp really like? In this episode, I'm sharing my honest National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) experience from waiting months to finally receive my call-up letter to navigating camp life, surviving a fishbone stuck in my throat for three weeks (yes, really!) and everything else in between. Beyond the funny stories and unforgettable moments, I also share practical advice for: * Those still waiting to be called up for NYSC. * Current corps members looking to make the most of their service year. * Those who have completed service and are wondering what comes next. And I spoke about: * Waiting for my NYSC call-up * What camp life was really like. * Funny camp stories, Mami Market adventures, and making new friends. * Mistakes and distractions to avoid during camp. * Tips for anyone preparing for NYSC. * Making the most of your service year. * Planning for life after NYSC. Whether you're preparing for NYSC, currently serving, or figuring out your next step after service, I hope this conversation encourages you to trust God's timing, embrace every season, and keep moving forward with purpose. I'd also love to hear from you! What was your NYSC experience like? Or, if you haven't gone yet, what's one thing you're looking forward to or feeling nervous about? I'd love to hear your story.
