No thanks to the likes of Buhari for sending those coppers to they untimely death.

No amount of money is enough.


I remove headress for the departed. It is well.

djkaneo: and 26.7mill is supposed to bring them back from the dead? abi e go prevent d one wey go happen again in 2 yrs time?

SMH.

As long as in two years coppers realise they should not be part of open braven election rigging . In 2015 the youth will. Have to prove their live is beterr of not being used as instrument of scientific rigging .

This is good news but not nearly enough, family of the Corpers should also be placed on a monthly salary of N150,000 for minimum 20yrs. Remember the government failed them. Until govt knows there is a high price to every Nigerian life, govt will be slow to protect lives. Imagine if GEJ had to pay 13 million for each of the over 3,000 lives lost to Boko haram and still keep their survivals on 20yrs payroll. He would make faster decisions in saving lives or resign if he feels incapable.

It's high time that crappy scheme called Nysc be scrapped!

It's strange that nobody has mentioned justice on this thread. How come nobody has been jailed? The culprits are still walking on the streets. Trust me same thing will happen in 2015.

Just read the name of the deceased copers!ony copers from the west n east r always killed!abi abokis nor get copers,they know wht they r doing!may their soul RIP!its time they arm coppers serving in the north!

Y shld parents suffer 2 train dia ward n d̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ end up being killed in a place d̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ re not valued. We no dia is no 1 Nigeria, §ø̲̣̣̥ y decieve ourselves.if we re 1, y is d north not ready 2 shift grounds on equality.

fuckfuckman:

if u won't comment, i will comment on ur head...
N.Y.S.C should not be scrapped but youth corpers should not be posted in area of violence... @least..let the youth benefit a year salary from the government money since there is no way they could get job from the government

May the Almighty God not allow any of our families to share from this kinda money. like to say Amen.

How much amount of money can be rated as compensation to graduates that there is every tendency that they make billions of Naira if they are alive.. Well RIP.... Government should find proper thing to do to this insecurity

Rather than Jonathan offering help to another countries security!

Shalom!

ok oh.....

Thugnificent: NYSC should be scraped! RIP to the dead

I completely agree with you. It makes no sense whatsover.

Thugnificent: NYSC should be scraped! RIP to the dead

my brother, its existence also has a lot of benefits so scraping might not really serve as panacea.

joseph1832: The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Wednesday in Minna presented N26.7 million cheques to the families of the two corps members killed in the 2011 post-election violence in Niger.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that 61 other corps members who were injured during the violence are also to benefit from the gesture.

Alhaji Saidu Kpaki, Secretary to the Niger State Government (SSG), who presented the cheques on behalf of the government, advised youths against being used as thugs by politicians.

“Time has come when youths should take their destinies in their hands by resisting politicians who would lure them to self destruction for personal gains’’, Kpaki said.

The deceased corps members were; Ademola M. Adejoke and Nwali C.Ifeoma with NYSC registration number NG/10A/353 and NG/10A/614, respectively.



“I do not see the crisis as that of religion. May be it is political or joblessness or as a result of poverty. Tell whoever that wants to recruit you as thugs to bring his or her son to lead the way.

“Taking up arms in the name of religion is against all known religious norms. Religion is, and should be out of one’s volition. it is never compulsory.”

Earlier, Mrs Justina Andirya, the NYSC Coordinator in Niger, said the Federal Government was pained by the death of the corps members and the sufferings of the injured.

She said no amount of financial compensation would replace the dead loved ones.

Andirya said the financial support for the injured was based on the degree of injury.

In his remarks, Mr Adebayo Adesanya, President of the Nigeria Christian Corpers Fellowship (NCCF), expressed appreciation to the Federal Government for the gesture. (NAN)

Well said @bolded poverty is the primary cause of political or religious thugery.
He advised the youths to take their destiny into their hands and reject offers from politrikcians,how can they do that? How can a young able bodied man who can hardly afford two square meal per day reject such offers. The rate of unemployment is something else,how do these youths survive?
The governtment has the bulk of the blame,when a larger percentage of the population is well engaged,thugery and truancy would reduce.
May God grant the dead ex-corpers eternal rest. If only money could bring back their lives.

for goodness sake is N26.7 million enough to even buy a new born?

well NYSC u have tried by remembering the dead,i pray that God will recieve the souls of the dead in eternity AMEN.....

Money cannot bring back the dead, I pray God grant them eternal rest and Aljanat Firdaus

iamswizz: We know money cant bring them back.... But, its a great move.. Thumbs up Nysc

People like you are the reason for the country's backwardness. These corpers died in 2011 and the Nysc is just compensating their families in 2013, two years after! and you are saying thumbs up. Pls let's try to reason well before posting comments.

This NYSC tin seems to b a kind of plot..since we are too many and there are fewer jobs for our eva growin population,hence d govt deems it fit to keep deployin CORPERS to this volatile region as to dwindle population and at the same time ebb unemployment rate.in other words against wat Philips' Curves try to explain.

May their souls Rip

Druhill: Are those state not part of Nigeria? think before you make comments.

So if dem post u go Borno state, u wil go won't redeploy?

This is very bad of our leaders, may there soul rip!
