Sometime ago, I read a note from my friend's Facebook page and it got me thinking. She had just joined the United States Marines and was recounting her ordeal during one of the drills. What was most hilarious about her story was how she screamed in her native Yoruba language, when a particular drilling sequence became too unbearable. A squeal of unbelief couched in the popular Yoruba exclamation 'yepa!' must have escaped from her gut. On closer scrutiny, I later realised that she had joined the army not because she was prepared but because it was a childhood fantasy.
