A heartwarming moment unfolded at a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in Nigeria as a corps member unexpectedly reunited with his primary school friend after 15 years apart.
From Primary School Memories to NYSC Moments
The young corps member, identified on TikTok as @lightwave_art, shared a video documenting the emotional encounter.
According to him, the friendship began in primary school, but as the years passed, life took them on separate paths, leaving them disconnected for over a decade.
Recognition in a Crowd of Strangers
The reunion took place in the midst of other corps members at the NYSC camp.
In the video caption, the corps member described his surprise:
“NYSC made me reconnect with my primary school friend over 15 years now. In a strange environment surrounded by strangers I was scared like how did someone know my surname because he kept on calling my surname so I just looked up and boom Omo 15 years that’s crazy. I was walking and I heard someone call my surname and I was like ha who the hell will know my surname it’s can’t be me and I just said let me look up the boom I saw my guy omo I wan cry. In primary school na only surname we use.”
The moment captured both shock and joy as the friends hugged, instantly rekindling memories from their primary school days.
