A Nigerian corper has celebrated her love story come true, marrying the soldier who served as her platoon commander during their NYSC orientation camp. The couple, who met during the 21-day orientation course, have shared their journey on X (formerly Twitter) through a heartwarming post by @Nysc360.
The corper recalled how the army officer, though a “fierce” commander, couldn’t stop sneaking glances at her, sparking mutual attraction. From shared moments at camp to a lifetime of memories together, they’re now set to say “I do”.

With pre-wedding photos in their respective uniforms, the couple expressed gratitude to the NYSC for giving them more than just a service year—it gave them a forever partner.
