A lady has sparked conversations online after recounting her experience with a former National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) roommate, describing how their relationship ended abruptly after their service year—only to be unexpectedly revived with a personal request.
According to her, the friendship went cold immediately after NYSC ended, with no communication from the former roommate despite her attempts to maintain contact, including sending a birthday message that was never acknowledged.
“So, my roommate during NYSC stopped talking to me immediately our service year ended. Even when I wished her a happy birthday, she never acknowledged it, so I stopped reaching out. I just accepted that whatever we had ended with service,” she said.
She explained that months later, the same ex-roommate reached out with a request to stay overnight at her family house while coming to her hometown to pick material for her wedding asoebi.
“Yesterday, she texted me on WhatsApp saying she’s coming to my hometown to get material for her wedding asoebi and asked if she could spend the night at our family house. Omo, up till now, I never reply. She dey craze,” she added.
The post has since triggered mixed reactions online, with many users debating friendship boundaries, entitlement, and how NYSC relationships often fade after service year only to resurface when favours are needed.
