this nysc of a thing need not be scrapped rather the government should come up with a plan whereby students after their secondary schools education are made 2 compulsorily serve a year in the military before pushing further. this as a matter fact should provide an avenue to recruiting competent and interested individuals in the the army, airforce, navy and the police. those who become interested should be made to go through military or police varsities before they are absorbed into the society. 1 Like |

passttorr: what i think the govt shld do is to extend d 3 weeks camp to about 2 to 3 months to enable corp members learn diff. skill and entrepreneur after which the 19800 for the whole year (N237600) + other allowances be given to them at the end to start up something. I totally agree with you.The service is now a trash and bloody time wasting.Besides the full one yr doing nothing by majority of our corpers,imagine the number killed in places of assignment.Really terrible. Yes I enjoyed mine at Nguru nevertheless,I knew very well,I had wasted one full yr of my life. Life is too short to waste,especially the life of very productive Nigerians.There is really no need to restructure NYSC as it will still have the same corrupt players with the same corrupt agenda. It should be scrapped completely and a brand new youth programme should be put in place for greater skill learning and aquisition for all our graduates so as to prepare them for an enviable future. |

Long overdue, should have been scrapped longets time. Btw, even a university degree is overated these days, we need to look around and see whats happening.. 13 yr olds are seasoned programmers in russia, india and the likes while here, peeps are still struggling to go and waste strike laden years to study computer science... Naija sha, Govt knows this but the corruption is way too much...my 2 cents is " If you have the guts, then simply go for it and leave their service for them...Service does not change anything..look around an see people that served, how much has changed in their status? Maybe in the early days of our grandfathers generation, service was definitely worth the punt but nowadays...mennnnnn....long tin ni jare. |

Forget the money. Money isnt everything. I am not sure that this OP has been on NYSC, the NYSC handbook has all the many objectives of the scheme, some of which are cross-cultural orientation, ideological interchange, self reliance and etc. The Experience I had at Osun State cant be traded. NYSC is one of the best things to happen to any Nigerian Graduate, it positioned me mentally for this successful future, without which I would have been just another guy on the street. Money cant buy the NYSC experience! 2 Likes |

The main aim NYSC came into the system was to integrate the masses into different tribes,community and living. Its a pity the Govt did not see ahead as to when the people finish with NYSC , what will happen when they are through with the NYSC JOB posting? |

lottoe: Personally, I feel NYSC should be scrapped, and the government should stop wasting innocent youth time and energy cos of 19,800 per month.I feel, nysc as lost it original purpose.Most youth after nysc,remain unemployed,so what is the major gain of serving the country? you're on point! the 19,500 paid to corp members should be diverted into agriculture, training of youths, and massive industrialization...we are blessed in this country yet we r suffering...self employment cannot really solve the economic situation in this country... |

All these peeps who just jump into the bandwagon chanting scrap it! scrap it! sef. Can you please elaborate on the exact things about the NYSC that would support your stance?? I know that the program isn't perfect but it has done alot more good than harm in my opinion. 1)Whether you like it or not, the NYSC program has helped promote national integration. This is one of the rare schemes in this country through which people from different regions get to intermingle/plan for a common goal in the real world. 2) It keeps youths busy... you wouldn't have to go back straight home after school to begin to hustle for a job and probably spend one or two years at home in the process... u can hustle for good things while u serve in my opinion. 3) I see the one year gap spent doing this program as an opportunity for people to re-organize their goals or plans for the future, while earning something to grease their palms as they do so. 4) NYSC is fun; you meet people, build useful connections (if you no be dull-baby), meet life-partners (  ), and so on and so forth.Yeah people have died because of this scheme. It's sad, but I won't call for the program to be scrapped because of this sole reason. Like I said earlier, I want to know the real reasons why some people want this fun thingy to be scrapped. Saying the aim of the scheme has failed doesn't mean anything to me jor.  1 Like |

Busy doing what I ask again? ekwah: 3) I see the one year gap spent doing this program as an opportunity for people to re-organize their goals or plans for the future, while earning something to grease their palms as they do so.And how many of the youths so far have been able to re-organize their goals in this terrible state the country is in? The unemployment rate in the country is still as high as ever so what goals are they re-organizing? ekwah: 4) NYSC is fun; you meet people, build useful connections (if you no be dull-baby), meet life-partners (Your university is fun as well…I’m sure you made lots of male and female friends…as for the connections, less than 5% are likely to benefit from that, so you can’t include it in your argument. ekwah: Yeah people have died because of this scheme.

Saying the aim of the scheme has failed doesn't mean anything to me jor.Let me ask you some questions. 1. After service apart from your certificate what else does the government you wasted one year serving give you in return? 2. If par-venture you die in service, would you be recognized as a national hero who died serving his nation? 3. If you have an accident during service, and become an amputee, do you think the government would care? Truth is they don't care about you, so why should you care about serving them? 3 Likes |

Wel, I served in a bank (think banker-corper) in a lowcost town (think, daily expenses not exceeding 300-meal n errthing) I enjoyed my service year. PS I schooled and served in the SW of Nigeria. I got my appointment letter in a top tier bank before the end of my service year. However, I think NYSC should still be SCRAPPED! It’s no longer valid for the Nigeria of today. 2 Likes |

| Re: Should NYSC Be Scrapped? by Nobody: 6:03pm On Jul 04, 2013 |
i think NYSC still has its importance. From my experience, it was a wonderful year. Corpers should just use that one year and rest from uni wahala, have fun, acquire a skill, study GMAT and prepare for interviews. I was posted to Bauchi for my nysc in 2011. I was sad cos i was too sure it was going to be Lagos, but i decided to see what the North luks like, i picked my call up letter, got to Abuja and enjoyed a bit till the 3rd day of camp resumption. I got to the park and was told all the buses going to nysc wailo camp had left. It was difficult to get a cab cos the drivers who were muslims didnt want to go cos they had to pass thru Jos but eventually got a driver going to Kano. It was a wonderful experience cos we chatted till i got to the camp, he told me the history of Jos, d hills, carrot farms etc were beautiful, he taught me how to stop a bus/bike in hausa and negotiate. I was posted to an all girls school and the experience was out of this world, sometimes i cry after lectures and i started a chat period where the gurls had to do the talking and i just listened, i taught them a lot (gud tins o). You can imagine my feelings when my redeployment letter came out after 6 months. I also met my hubby in Bauchi and i also learnt bead making and made gud money selling to fellow corpers in camp, shops/boutiques around and spent most of d wkends readin d GMAT i bought in Camp. I relocated to Lagos, was posted to a bank and got the job after the test etc,was retained before I left to another Company. The story line is that NYSC has its advantages, just make up your mind to make the best use of it |

@Post NYSC should be optional or scrapped altogether. The hostels in camp were filthy. The bathrooms were so filthy that most corpers were bathing outside. When it came to toilets, corpers did their business in the bush kinda like in boarding school days. One has to be stepping over shyte. So many youths have passed through the scheme and have their certificate but many are still unemployed. Nigerians in the diaspora want to come back and offer their expertise and make a difference in Nigeria but because they didn't serve, they are refused employment. So, NYSC should be optional. |
