"HOW I WENT IN vs HOW I CAME OUT": Amazing Transformation Of a Female Corps Member

By -










Ronke Bodamisi is an artistic make-up artiste, who recently completed her one year mandatory National Youth Service Corps in Kaduna State.


She won Miss Big Bold and Beautiful while in camp and has been consistently posting her weight loss journey which she began with her service year last September.

In her passing out photos she shares her weight loss achievement which comes alongside her NYSC Certificate.



She wrote:

“How I went in VS How I came out !!! The last picture is my favourite, my nysc year was a life-changing period for me. I remember how I used to ‘occupy space ‘ in group photos, but now I am normal weight with everybody and I don’t look like anyone’s mother anymore. My journey is 10 months old next week. To everyone who inboxed me and I promised them a weight loss class in July, I am sorry.”

“Next one will be in September when I am celebrating my one year journey, so many unfinished businesses to wrap up and deal with. I am really happy with myself and really excited about how far I have come. #doneanddusted #nysc”





Her pictures and the achievement of her weight loss has been a huge inspiration to everyone online.
Congratulations Ronke.

Miss Africa 2018 Dorcas Dienda Episode 4. Hmmm, what we did was ludicrous but that was the only option we had. Lucy and I had to share the chair, we sat with half part of our ass. Lol. Fine girls like us. People would sure be staring but watin concern us ,  we just lock up dey do our thing jare. We turned and laughed at ourselves on several occasions and even took selfies and more pictures. Twas really laughable. Lol Las Las sha, a fine nice guy forfeited his seat for us, and then we sat more comfortably, only that we didn't get to watch HANTY Tiwa's performance. *Sad* The show went on as the contestants from different countries stepped out in different attires depicting Africanism... See beautiful slim bullets ...pretty slim tall shawty looking like INEC... repping different African countries. Big Brother's Ebuka was the moderator as well as several international guests and other celebs who occupied the judiciary.  Our Nigerian contestant Chia

This Gender! (Part 1)

I want to tell you stories about my gender. One happened when I visited Scotland; I’ll tell the others in my subsequent posts. I visited a friend who had two daughters. In her kitchen my friend has this small corner dedicated to her daughter. In that corner there was a “kids kitchen” made of toy pots, gas cookers, utensils etc. She said she wanted her daughter to learn how to cook. So I asked her a question: “If your daughter was a boy will you still buy this toy kitchen for him and teach him how to cook”? She paused and stared at me. With a face like: “what kind of question is that”? She responded and said: “No, I won’t!” “Why should I buy a toy kitchen for my male child”? She asked. And turned to continue cooking. You see, many a time, we as parents and women, including those clamoring “equal rights for women” and those who claim to be “feminist”, we have a huge role to play in this race of “Gender equity and fairness”. It starts from your homes! From the toys you buy your kids,  The

ONE CHANCE

So it was in the season of “one chance” I took a cab. After normal negotiations, we agreed on price. Quickly dumped myself onto the front seat, as I was itching to get out of the scorching sun! Although I had my sunglasses on, the sun was capable of roasting a whole human being to ashes!  As I was trying to fix my seat belt, I greeted; - “Oga good afternoon o”. And he too responded - “Good afternoon madam’. But instead of beginning the journey, this man was just staring at  me... I paused myself to stare at the ‘starer’.  So to break the silence I asked: “Oga Watin happen na”?   Then he smiled, cleared his throat and adjusted himself; he looked uncomfortable, then he answered with an undertone of mild humor. - Eh..eh... Madam nor vex o, this one wey you cover your face like this so, I kon dey fear o; Before you go kon bring out gun ‘bell up’ me or kon kidnap me’.  I couldn’t hold it in, I burst out in laughter. lol But he continued : ...”Yes o, becaus

PLANTAIN SELLER TURNS ECOBANK AMBASSADOR

Known for their most receptive and hospitable nature, Cross-Riverians are saddled with the flaw of living in their “Comfort Zone”... they ain’t hustlers; not all tho, but a large number. Not as if they’re lazy, I’ll be wrong if I address them as such. But they really do not have the spirit of striving, like, I mean hustling... or I should rather say they’re not industrious or not so business oriented.  No hard feelings, I served there, and not only did I serve there, I also got involved with the life of the people and their overall orientation; and I enjoyed my stay, but truth be told, most of the people doing business there are strangers, especially the Ibos.  But here is one out of the crowd of 'COMFORT-ZONERS'! One who chose to stand out, and have since been a bedrock of inspiration to many!  A young effervescent pretty graduate; She’s the female version of TIMAYA... The PLANTAIN SELLER! Call her madam “Bole” (Roasted plantain)... Call her the GRADUAT

We organized a Christmas party to celebrate their recovery and liberation as well as thank God for his blessings. The party was organised by the hospital team and also supported by the 'Help Wihtout Boundaries' Foundation. The event took place on the 22nd December 2018, at the Federal Neuro Psychiatric hospital in Calabar, graced by the head of clinical operations Dr Ekpe, the consultant psychiatrist in charge of their case Dr Oluntoki, Oberiko Progress other doctors, nurses, social workers, guests and other patients in the hospital. You can imagine the feeling of extreme joy Ben and his family had as they celebrated Christmas. To every normal child Christmas is special, it is a season where they look forward to new clothes, an outing and unlimited fun but to these kids Joy, Ebenezer and Joshua who had no idea what Christmas means, nor looked forward to any new clothes, it was an extraordinary occasion and an amazing feeling as they had the opportunity to wear new clo

Dear International Student...

As you arrive to study in the UK this September, here are a few clues to keep in mind: 1. Have your jackets with you even though it’s summer! It is better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it. Because you can find summer, winter, and autumn, in one day; There’s nothing as unpredictable as a BRITISH WEATHER! Escalators in some London train stations        2. Just immediately after you alight the plane you’ll be met with long-ass escalators which looks like they’re taking you to heaven. Some of you may already be familiar with them, some may not, and just like me, you may develop a phobia for escalators and feel like you’re gonna fall down when you place your first foot on it, but don’t worry, it’ll soon become your friend.  Stratford Coach Station, London.      3. You’ll begin to hear phrases like "get a coach"!  Don’t look clueless! It’s just another way of saying “get a bus”. Speaking about buses, don’t forget to press the bell as you approach your st
