Summary of my NYSC experience

I was posted to Benue state oooo. I was hearing Food basket of the nation and was so excited to go there, as per cheap food, maybe I'd move from this 56kg I've been stuck at for years regardless of what I eat.
I carried my things, fiam, entered a cab going to Wanunne. Omo, inside the cab, a serving corps member was talking about how fat she became in Benue because she got tired of eating mangoes and yam. I said to myself "It's your time to shine". 
Fast forward, I got to camp, did one or two and was appointed by my platoon officer to be the platoon leader for my platoon (Platoon 2). I was also selected to be part of the camp court in camp. We were about 4 corps members and the rest were staff. I worked like a werey in camp, always here and there, without an assistant. 
Fast forward to posting, me that was thinking kpe, I will join other Platoon leaders in being posted to Makurdi Town, I collected my posting letter and I saw one secondary school in one village. 
Sha sha, I got there and after some weeks, asked to be reposted and they posted me to a primary school. Lmaaoooo, from frying pan to fire abi? I wanted to die.
That gist will come another time๐Ÿ˜ฉ My moi moi and akara is calling me.
Wait o, the bucket of water there is what I was using to bath in Gwer East LGA, Benue STATE & had to buy pure water to cook & drink, to avoid typhoid. One more thing, I have still not understood why Benue is still referred to as Food basket of the nation. 
IMO, na wash! 

I made moi moi and akara (bean cake) ๐Ÿ˜‚ LOL

So guys, I traveled for work, for like 3 weeks and by the time I was back, weevils had infested my beans. I was so confused because how will I, where will I start from, who will I start from? Anyways my igbo girl sense told me stuff, like they really destroyed my beans, so so I was like instead of throwing it away, why don't I know make moi moi or beancake that is Akara. Mind you, this beans we're talking about is that white beans (iron beans) and I have never actually used it, I use the Honey Brown beans. So I brought out plenty beans, like a medium sized bucket the beans was like almost full, but I was not just in the right state of mind so I put water inside the bucket (soak and wash) and went out to grind the beans. After I had ground the beans I was about going then I remembered I had not added onions and pepper (people that make bean cake) know this, so I had to rush him to the market again to get onions and pepper, paid extra money to grind it and went back with one full bucket of bean paste. Well I divided the beancake into 2 and focused on one part. I added my ingredients (spices, the onion pepper mix, salt, palm oil, groundnut oil). And then I poured them into nylons, boiled it, and the remaining paste that was already spiced, I made akara with it. it's an apology really. Well I am aware that today is Saturday and for one week straight I will be eating akara and moimoi. I will be attaching pictorial evidence. bye-bye let me warm my moi-moi.
PS: the akara burnt but it's sweet. I want to sincerely hope this doesn't affect my bride price ๐Ÿ™ƒ
