Life in the barracks…

Hi everyone

How is your day going? Hope we are all having a nice time with our weekend and in conjunction with the Christmas celebration. I wish you all my Christian fams a happy Christmas celebration. I am yet to see my Christmas chicken 😂.

The first thing was how I missed out on the @Jane bch hunt. Haha. I knew it’s gonna be a tough competition but I had my hopes up that I would win. Anyway, with God so good I was a winning loser 😂. So I am sorry for the disappointment. Smile.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT ❤️

Yeah, here in the barracks things had not been much easy. Maybe I say it got worse than before in the past three days. We have a stable electricity ⚡️ supply which makes it easy to do all sorts of things and at times enhances a good rest. But for up to three days now we are out of power supply and this has caused a lot.

One of which is the fact that we have to source for where to charge our phones and since it’s an environment with a stable power source no one would even want to go into phone charging business and for those that use generators I hardly know them, come to talk of charging over there. But I know somehow I would have to sleep more and use my phone less.

Come to talk of water 💦, water which is one of the most important things in human existence as we barely do anything without water. Since there is no power supply then we can’t have water to use. For the past three days, I decided to wash my clothes but I couldn’t since there was no water. And also to cook or even bathe, or washing the dirty dishes became more difficult 😞. Though to drink is still fair because I would be used to buying sachet water to drink. It is not easy but a man has to choose.

Yesterday was Friday so I planned to take a trip to the state's capital international market as they called it. The state is blessed with a lot of beautiful places but you experience them at the peak only when you explore the state capital.

One thing I appreciate here is the good road. It’s said that the present date governor has been working relentlessly on the improvement of the roads and also working on an international airport for the state too which would be the first in the southeast part of the country. Kudos to his good work.

While going I wasn’t able to capture much because my device was on low battery due to the inability to charge. But I could capture the front gate of the market and it was cool to explore the marketplace.

It has a cool environment compared to the standard of the local markets. All around each section are for similar types of tradesmen. I went to the electrical section to get an electric plate but the funniest part is that they couldn’t test it for me because there is no light and the same thing when I got home I still can’t check if it’s working or not. But I am positive it would work fine.

Anyway, I got back to the barracks cantonment and I think I should have shown how the front gate looks like. It’s not that flash but still okay. I haven’t been to any other barracks so I can’t compare.

My device battery is already low again as I reserved it for the bch hunt. But now I have to write something. I hope today at Christmas they will be able to bring back our power supply again. At least I should have a full battery on my device again.
