My village lifestyle

So this post is coming right after my 2nd week post but I thought it'll be best to separate both. We have our weekly community development (a time when we're supposed to serve our community or neighboring communities by teaching them stuff about HIV, personal hygiene etc) on Thursdays. There are about 6 or more villages under my local govt that corpers are serving in and they're probably within a 45 min to an hour long drive from one another.

Now our inspector wants all of us to come together every Thursday in one village for our CD. And apparently, she's doing this because many corpers in my local govt travelled over Easter which annoyed her. This is where my rant begins. What sense does it make for corpers who are serving as teachers in such villages to stay behind because of their CD once a week? We're adults and I'm sick and tired of them treating us otherwise. Stop trying to monitor every move we're making and that nonsense of corpers entitled to only a 7 day vacation throughout the year is nonsense cause I'm assuming other govt workers get more time off.

Also, people need to stop telling me that commuting from Osogbo to Otanile is far. Welcome to the real world, honey. 20 mins is not far and people in Lagos do much worse. What about people that live in Ikeja and work in VI? Please! Walking to work is most likely not going to happen if one lives in Lagos and trust me, I did a much longer commute last year when I worked at a bank in Minnesota. I was even told by the principal I'm not allowed to live outside the village and I had to tell him very nicely that wherever I live isn't his business. As long as I show up to school, that's what matters.

I think I'm done ranting for now. I'll keep you posted about the kids.
