Unleashing Them the Ajuwayas

Timidity ran all over me, I got frightened for the day Corpers march out of the camp Bidding service to their homeland bye A compulsory year for “ajuwaya”. Of waste to many Of hilarious time out to some Of acculturation to others Of enslavement in a glorified den. With the inscription NYSC on white top Brownish khaki below Para-force orange boot to march Ajuwaya’s hope dashed after 365 days Dream killed for future seeds Aspirations in korper’s khaki cut off As they are unleashed to joblessness Scattered into hopelessness of labour market Here comes the “korpersion” In search of future in confusion Outside the very den after gyration In a kingdom with no future. Alayande Stephen. T 2.55pm 17th August 2006 Ajuwaya- a term used for fresh undergraduate who are Undergoing one year compulsory service to their father land. Still on my way, but back to IPC from Apagbon in Lagos on The behest of IPC Chairman, Lanre Arogundade. Significantly, it was the pass out day for corpers as they don the streets in their Khakis.
