A female NYSC member now serves in a 'MamaPut'...

A must read.....Please contd.

  A Batch 'A' corps member a.k.a Chinweike Okwukwe serving in Kebbi State is
now doing her primary assignment at a ''mama put'' restaurant. Ms Chinweike hails from Anambra state.
At this time her colleagues were running away from the state due to the insecurity in the northern parts of the country, Chinweike has boldly taken Kebbi as a home and hers has become a story of humility and service as she humbly accepted to serve the nation in a local restaurant popularly called 'Mama put' in Kebbi  state.
Chinweike Okwukwe, a graduate of Accountancy from the Institute of Management and Technology, IMT, Enugu in Enugu state threw pride to the winds by opting to survive against all odds and has ventured into an area most of her peers would rather not crave for.  Chinwe is proudly doing her service in a mama put joint where she joyfully serves without qualms.

Speaking to Peoples Daily Weekend about her experience in the service, Chinwe said that after her orientation camp, she was posted to Ministry of Commerce and Industry where she served for only a few months. Though she was not rejected she opted to leave because according to her there was nothing virtually to do as service to fatherland.
She said service at that ministry was boring as there was nothing much to do in the office and based on that she decided to look for another place where she can indeed serve. She said this was what prompted her to start searching for a more challenging place where she can contribute directly to the development of the nation and the service of humanity around her.
Chinwe later got a place to serve and later effected her redeployment to a Mama put joint called Madam Lagos Restaurant located along Presidential Road Birnin Kebbi owned by one Mrs. Rose Hussaini where she goes to work in her NYSC khaki.
Presently, she  helps out in serving dishes and taking care of other administrative issues and earns N10,000 monthly as allowance from her place of primary assignment.
In a chat with Peoples Daily Weekend, Chinweike explained that she prefers serving in the restaurant than having to stay at home or waste transport money going to the ministry where there was nothing doing. She said that some of her mates were not better than her because she can survive without demanding or looking for any boyfriend.*Great can you imagine?*
"I like it here. I am not ashamed of serving in a place like this. I am contributing to the service of the nation through meeting the need of the people and that gives me satisfaction. It is better than staying at home doing nothing. I don't just want to waste the period of service; that is why I chose to serve even in a place like this and I think it is noble", she said.
Recounting her experience, Chinwe said when she arrived Kebbi, she didn't know anybody but that the service in the 'mama put' has afforded her a family and a home.
Though, she admitted that she loves Kebbi, Chinwe said she does not plan to stay back in the state after her service.
She said she has already started hunting for a government job but has decided to use the experience she will gather at the restaurant to establish her own. She believes that she can diligently manage a restaurant successfully.

When Peoples Daily Weekend contacted the owner of the restaurant, Mrs. Rose Hussaini, she spoke highly of Chinwe and said that she enjoys her service. She recounted that the first time she saw the Anambra state born corper, she instantly liked her because of her humility and neatness and decided instantly to hire her.
When Peoples Daily Weekend contacted a senior staff at the NYSC office, he admitted that corp members in the state were allowed to choose where they want to serve as many of them are rejected at the places they are posted for primary service.
A check by Peoples Daily Weekend shows that members posted to kebbi state are serving in shops, hotels, computer centers and other private organizations where they contribute their quotas to the development of the state. For Chinwe, service in Kebbi has given her the opportunity to show her humility which many Nigerian women must learn to exhibit. *3 gbozaaaaa!!*
