NYSC: My S-xvice
Episode 14
As I dey wait for Juliet, I kon dey contemplate
whether to drop the plan. Plenty questions just
dey flow for my head: What if person catch as we
dey comot? What if we come back late? What if
any staff begin find Juliet during break (because,
na heavy crime for any student to comot from
school compound without permission).
As I won change my mind, I see Juliet for door:
“Sir, I’m re-ady. Let’s go.”
I look her innocent face, look her small pointed
brea-st:s. She dey smile. Na wa oh, God abeg na
onto you I commit my spirit o. I stand up from
my sit.
“Ok. Be smart. You will go ahead of me and act
like you’re alone. When you get outside the gate
successfully, enter a keke going to kings-road and
tell the driver to wait, then I’ll come and join
you”
“Ok sir.”
“I will be a few steps behind you”
She begin waka dey go the school gate area. You
nee-d to see how Innocent wey this girl dey waka.
If no be say she wear school uniform I for mistake
her for angel wey God s£nd down from heaven to
come warn us of our sins.
Na wa oh, God abeg give me wisdom to use follow
naija girls. If to say king Solomon jam naija
babes, them for show am say s-en-se dey pas-s s-en-se.
Brothers, make una shine eye o, if not plenty of
una go marry confirm ru-bbish.
I stand for door dey watch and wait make Juliet
waka go front small.
After she don waka like 30 steps, I kon close my
staff room door, do sign of the cross then kon
begin follow Juliet for back.
As I dey waka dey go, I dey look whether Juliet
go succeed to cross the school gate. I dey try
focus on her but different students just dey
disturb me with different talks like:
“Sir, its break time come and buy something for
me.”
“Sir, yesterday you promised to buy me something
but you didn’t”
“Sir, where are you going to?”
Which kind devils dem be this na. Then wan spoil
my prison-break mission abi we-tin. Some of them
they try drag me go back sef. I just dey try give
them small small excuse as I dey waka dey go and
my eyes still dey on Juliet.
As Juliet reach gate, gateman call her. Chei!

must be involved. I dey wonder we-tin she tell
that wicked gateman…. anyway na she kno her

naija girl character. Their character nee-d special
course for university to study am.
I start to waka fast so that I fit join her for the
keke-napep wey she go enter dey wait for me. As i

“Where are you heading to?”
“I want to go and get something in town”
“Ok. When you come back, come and see me. I
want us to discuss a little project”
“Ok sir.”
