The internet is on fire after a controversial photo surfaced online showing a male National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member kneeling before his Local Government Inspector (LGI), who happens to be a woman. The viral image has triggered widespread outrage, with many Nigerians condemning what they describe as intimidation and oppression under the guise of discipline.

This comes amidst the recent saga of a Lagos-based female corps member who publicly called out President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, labeling his istration as "terrible" due to the rising inflation and cost of living affecting her daily life. Following her post, she claimed that the NYSC board threatened her, citing that she violated the scheme's by-laws and ordered her to take down the post. The alleged intimidation has since sparked massive public reactions, with many Nigerians—including top politicians—defending her right to free speech.

Now, the emergence of the kneeling corper’s photo has further fueled the debate, with critics arguing that NYSC is being used as a tool of oppression rather than national service. Social media s have expressed their anger, saying:

🔹 "This is what they want—to intimidate you and silence you in the name of NYSC by-laws."
🔹 "How can a graduate be forced to kneel like a child? This is bullying!"
🔹 "NYSC has outlived its usefulness. It should be scrapped or reformed immediately."

And the guy no talk, I wish all men can be like me I no send anybody papa I am a natural rebel,if you check am well he is from that fear fear region I no mention name.

In this life you must learn how to respect yourself, and how do you respect? Its by conducting yourself in a proper manner that won't bring see finish come jam you.

If the guy respect himself, followed laid down protocol he won't be in a situation like this.

I guess he's from the region where some few lunatic dey beat them every Monday for coming out

So the woman is from Iragbiji?

Finquas:
We are back to military cum democracy under the iragbiji drug lord

I think it is wrong considering the fact that he is in NYSC uniform which is a government uniform just like a military uniform. Secondly, the fact that the guy is a graduate, there should be another way he would been punished for his wrong.

He is likely from the region that never carried out a coup in Nigeria because they lack liver of real men

But the coup plotter generation recently are saying a brave man from the region of the bravest men who was in prison during the coup, plan and coordinate from prison and used their fore-fathers like a slave. Funny aspect is that this brave man is not even a uniform personnel.

Of course! but why didn't he employ his tribe men in uniform to carry out the operation of course he knew the lack the guts.

He knows his people are wise and won't just embark on a journey of no return like the zombie. Now over 2 millions of their people perish for the senselessness.

What evidence do you have to prove that it was the woman who asked him to kneel down?

Fake liver

Only these tribes in Nigeria have liver or guts depending how you look at it

Hausa-Fulani tribe
Kanuri tribe
Ibibio tribe
IJaw tribe
Igbo
Edo (Bini)
Tiv


Others are beauty merchants and unifiers

The guy is getting a brain factory reset and he is complying because he knows he really did some wrong

U will be shocked some corpers have slept with this same woman in the past
I have not seen a bossy stubborn woman who is not codedly promiscuous

Those LGIs back then dey feel like Idi Amin. Once you're late for CDs meeting like this, you see threats like extension, expulsion etc, but what have we gained from nysc self. See nairaland, is there unity in the country?

I recall one time a corp member assisting the L.I pushed me off in Akwa Ibom and raised his voice at me, I was like what tha heck? Put him in his place asap, I could see the look on his face, he felt powerless but the consequence of my actions meant the bitch boy marked me absent at every cds I attended until I left. Lol. Humans

The boy is very stupid for kneeling down.

Don’t blame the woman, blame the boy. Why should a grown adult who has finished school be kneeling down? If you ask me, the boy is not okay.

I don't think this is punishment via the pic here. Maybe the guy kneeled to beg or plead for something.

Maybe the niqqa missed his monthly clearance

💯👍

This generation, their own Sharia court na online. Once you ask questions to judge from all sides, the mob comes after you. This is what you get when emotion > logic. Their internet court na jury, judge and executioner. Once they hate you, they will come for everything you do. You fit see them tomorrow de shout No to Jungle Justice but online, vawulence is allowed. Internet 🤡

It could be anything could be that the guy Fuxk up, i no Go my ppa for 2 months no call nothing dem report me give Lgi, as I de reach lgi office nobody tell me to prostrate, u no go prostrate ke?

This is not a matter of government but personal respect, even police no go fit do this to me.

It all boils down to the stupid boy with low self esteem, I won't b surprised d fool na one useless school e go

If na me I for change am give am, ordinary gallas wey lgi say make I cut for nysc, I ask her direct if it stops me from being a corper


This thing no b about government but self respect n how they see u self

Chaiiii na over humble dey worry this guy.

This mostly happens when you are guilty or ignorant, you become vulnerable and at people's mercy.
I my service year when one of them was trying to intimidate me, I use the NYSC law against him and embarrassed him, one of the state coordinator had to call him to order.
Know your rights and come with clean hands.
