The end really is near....
The atmosphere is pregnant with excitment of departure!
I have taken my time to arrange some of my belongings and put them in an order that spelt ready to depart soon....
When I woke up this Sunday morning...it was to a very busy hostel...majority were already awake....it looks like everyone was going to church....well...not everyone!...
Today was the thanksgiving service of the Nigerian Christain Corpers fellowship(NCCF)...

| The thanksgiving service at NCCF,magaji dan-yanusa, Keffi.nasarawa! |
It had been publicly announced to us and we had voluntarily contributed 200 hundred naira each person in the ten different platoons as a token of cooperate thanksgiving to God for a successful orientation camp course.
The journey of three weeks was drawing it curtains gradually,it was only logical for anyone to think let's go to church and do thanksgiving even if they have not attended 1 service all through the camp times....
"At least for the sake of journey mercies as everyone will be travelling home tomorrow"..so I heard one of the guys in my platoon say yesterday at the parade ground when we were being remind of the individual,voluntary 200naira contribution.

I wore one of my white shirt and a pair of jean trousers. I made it early enough for the interactive bible study....a lot of people arrived later in when service had freshly began in proper...
It really was a thanksgiving service...
In a part of the service,we danced out in thanksgiving from the back of the church with our individual platoons to the front podium as the levite sang different songs and each platoon representative gave a speech of thanksgiving to God with members hooting,clappong,jumping and dancing!

There was also much agitation and tension in the air as corp members anticipated the pasting the feedback of their relocation letter...
*why was it taking so late??*
Even my parents have called to ask when. And why it was taking so long....
Rumour has it that some have seen theirs...and it was exactly what it was a rumour!

Everyone was murmuring...and it was getting louder.....
*Mama lolo *...(a very funny igbo lady whose bunk is adjacent mine,i gave her that name that everyone in the room calls her!) was making a very hilarious and loud jest of the relocation matter...she was taking advantage of the delay to predict the state given to her friends....everyone was laughing...and those who she had mentioned borno...maiduguri...adamawa for weren't finding it funny...they tried shutting her up!...it was an hilarious time in the hostel...
Our dear mama lolo!
Evening parade was brief and we did the final rehearsal of the closing ceremony parade..
The camp director addressed us concerning out relocation list...and he passed a lot of other vital information across before we were dismissed....

By the time I got there...almost everyone was already there already pushing,puling,stretching and trying to go find their names on the list....
Everyone was asking....???

Well.......don't ask me?
