As early as 5:30am on Tuesday, I was on my way to the park to join the bus straight to sibre jalingo, where the permanent orientation camp for taraba is located. On getting to the park I saw many Corp members and their families. I try to locate the bus going to jalingo, it was quite hard. I meet a friend going to Taraba camp too from my school, that gave me a relieve knowing won’t travel alone.
We finally found our bus, it was a luxury bus. I bid my family bye and settle down in the bus. We were only 3 Corp members going to Taraba, the rest were going to kogi, Abuja, Benue, Nasarawa, the bus was filled up. After many argument we left the park finally.
The journey was a very exciting, scary and funny one. I meet a lot of cool people in the bus, we sang, danced and told lots of jokes. I met a very smart, creative and talented guy, Victor, we bonded like we knew each other before. Micheal my school friend was very helpful too. I remembered when our bus broke down at ondo state we had to wait for a hour 30minutes for the bus engine to cool off, later that day we slept in a fuel station at kogi for the night cos it was too dangerous to continue the journey.
After dropping Corp members in kogi we headed straight to Abuja to drop another set of Corp members and changed our bus to a more faster and convenient bus. We had another stop over at Nasarawa and headed straight to Benue. The journey from Benue to Taraba was the longest ever I was so tired.
We finally got to wukari ( a local government in Taraba, close to Benue) very late, we couldn’t continue the journey. We had to sleep in the university at wukari after begging the security men there. As early as 5am we continue our journey to sibre jalingo excited and happy that we are almost there, so we thought. We got to Orientation at 1pm that day, tired, stressed and confused.
