In my view, the scheme should be abolished as it has outlived its usefulness. Originally, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) was established to promote national unity. After more than 40 years, can we truly say it has achieved its goals?

The only remaining appeal for some graduates seems to be the little stipends provided to corps . If this financial incentive is so significant to them, the government should consider distributing these funds directly to new graduates without requiring them to participate in the NYSC.

Alternatively, the scheme should be made voluntary.

Your son is president
He wanted to divide the country before he became president

Now he has seen oil and tax money across the country he doesn’t even want to listen. It’s one Nigeria


Is it not funny that the greatest sin of an average Yoruba now is the bolded ?
It doesn't even matter whether that Yoruba person ed Tinubu or not. Lol

......they have no head for figures !!!

They always forget that the election was rigged and Tinubu got less than 8.8 million votes.
How many Yoruba votes is in that >8.8 million votes ??

Make it voluntary. You will still see many enlist for nysc. It is a must or tradition for Nigerian graduates because no job. If economy good who go go serve

They should be allow to farm and be empowered thereafter if interesred in Agriculture

If the suggestion of the Afenifere is to be adopted, then, the the spirit, intent and purpose of establishing the NYSC scheme would have been defeated.




Afenifere should rather implore the President to confront the issue of insecurity head-on as a matter of national emergency instead of the piecemeal approach that has thus far not yielded any tangible results.




NYSC is not the problem.




The problem is insecurity!

I disagree with Afenifere

I agree with afenifere

Nice one, but the Nurudeens of the SW region will not agree. The Nurudeens of the SW region are the setback for people of all the southern regions.
The political and religious leaders who adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system in the 12 far north states, fetched firewood with red ants to Nigeria, worse in the sharia states

That won't be a bad idea.

It should be optional though.

Some of this students wants to explore to know their Motherland better.....according to research.

Explore what? Imagine what those dirty bandits will do to female corpers they kidnap from the south. I will never allow my daughter serve in the north because of this kidnapping nonsense. Even a male corper might be sodomized.

The reason for the programme is gradually going down the drain. National integration is becoming national disintegration because of bad leaders we've been having.

it is not bad leader, our indifferences can not be forgotten.

If corpers are going to stay in their zones, then they might as well scrap the whole thing because it won't work anymore. The whole point of the program is to give university graduates a chance to experience different regions and cultures around the country.

You honestly think SS & SE are jealous of Yorubas?

It's pretty obvious you guys are far more tribalistic and just sad that your tribesman was defeated in an election.



😂 😂 😂

Do you honestly think SS & SE are jealous of Yorubas?

YeyeGbami:
Not bad, before some people go poison innocent corp out of jealously

Not ed,because it cannot promote collaboration and unity.
Travelling is part of education.

Then there's no point of the scheme. You'll be kidnapped anywhere you are in Nigeria NYSC or not. The people bandits are kidnapping are they doing NYSC? Instead of him to focus on challenging the govt to improve security across the country he wants a scheme to lose its relevance. And for those calling for it to end, it's not by force to do it. If you don't want to do it others will do.

Yoruba should be serving up north while hausa should touch ibadan n and Lagos for service , that's how to stand in solidarity of one Nigeria in good faith, exactly the way both regionz es power to each other


Then allow igbos cover our villages in peace , other tribes can choose were to do it if they like

Anither563:
Afenifere is a Yoruba group but Afenifere is not Yoruba. Afenifere is a Yoruba group that has been hijacked by a few people and is now being used as a political tool against the Yoruba people.

Says frustrated osu

Cancel the NYSC for now or allow the corpers to serve in their region,it is not brainy, otherwise there is hidden agenda to wipe out certain ethnicity future leaders. Everyone understands their regions security, they know when to travel, they know where is safe and unsafe etc..

You honestly think it's right to always include SS in the matter that has nothing to do with them just for SE to get relevance??

vanbonattel:


All these grammar to deny the fact that yoruba people are now afraid to travel to Sokoto, Borno, Zamfara and Niger states to enjoy their "One Nigeria"

Be careful.

Also include IPOB terrorists and landlocked region. Thanks

For me, I think NYSC should be scrapped

IPOB terrorists and obirodent miscreants are the real setback not only to southern region but the whole nation.

So what Abt if a copper was kidnap and killed in the process is that part of education too??

The day this is accepted, the aim of nysc is defeated.
