This is quite worrisome.

My advice for brothers and sisters over there is to take safety option first. Complain to NYSC about the safety concern and notify them of your leave. All in writing please.

I had similar experience in Plateau State during the Jos crisis and it was not pleasant at all.

Please leave if you have to. NYSC Certificate is not worth your life.

May God be with you all.

Do you know how Christians are harass here in the core north? Mehn_ you can't begin to imagine that.

BTW, They are only doing the need to protect themselves. No big deal OP. If you feel harass, try reading a Bible in Saudi.

Useless..!

I don't know about angels, but it's fear that give men wings.
Some goons want to put a whole nation under siege, let's not give them that chance.

Brothers, eliminate any threat.

Let them do anything to protect themselves

Yes they are trying to take precautions, but this is to the extreme, harrassing Muslim corpers is simply wrong...

Some men wear caps or keep beards that make them easily identifiable.


Hmmm, in that case they should shave the beards, remove the caps for the duration of their service year and take it as national service sacrifies.

Most of the ppl calling every hausaman boko haram are not even SSCE holders,
and u will c them opening their @@@@@ mouth calling a man that has MSc and PHD
in UK, just because he tribe is hausa.
its unfortunate.
why is it dat hausa ppl dont refer to every NIGER DELTA man as MILITANT
OR every IGBO MAN as KIDNAPPER.

boko haram means western education is a sin.
when i have phd in engrng, medicine, ...............etc and u dont have a simple SSCE cert then
who is the real boko haram between us.

i comment my reserve.

This is how a security conscious governor should behave. It was no luck that this clueless governor as some called him destroyed kidnapping in Abia State.

That is absolutely wrong.

I think they are trying to protect themselves but it is unfortunate that the approach is very wrong, I served in Umuahia some years back and I know how corp members are recpected in the state.

I think a serious action should be taken to avoid unnecessary harassment in future. you guys should report officially to the NYSC state secretariat. and let me say that if there is rumor of any unrest or riot in the state, you can vacate the MCAN house (world bank housing estate) to Umuahia North Corpers' lodge (Min. of Justice Road) it is not very far.

ultimately, Oju'lalakan fi sori. be vigilant.

Wish you a successful and safe service year.

Yask2guy: It is of no news that the security challenges in Abia state has gotten to the extent of being vigilant over the issues concerning scares of bokoharam insurgents due to false acquisition of about 400 traders travelling through the state.
This led to scares amidst the dwellers of the state and as such got to the extent of accusing any Muslims (even just by names) in the state as bokoharam counterparts. Even when it is very clear to them that most of us are from the south western part of the country.
This is not the first time a Muslim corps member will be harassed publicly, even when fully kitted.
They have started calling us bokoharams to the extent of arresting a fully identified (Muslim) corps member at umuahia, abia state. Threatening him after his release that he will be dealt with if he is found again in the state.
The information getting to we residing at the MCAN's lodge in Umuahia now is that if there is any bokoharam attack in Abia state, the first places they will go to ransack are the MCAN lodges.
This must stop...
They are really threatening our lives here... We are going back home!


I have long awaited such news from South east.
The region is just too low on the Islam radar, discrimination is no surprise especially coming from Christians

That is untrue. No where are christians arrested for walking around christian.

No basis for comparison

spare me the blind hypocrisy.

A cartoon is made mocking mohammad in denmark, and muslims in kano start burning down churches.
Buhari loses an election and the muslim youth start killing corpers and christians.
Miss world beauty pageant is planned in nigeria, and muslims start destroying buildings, burning churches and killing christians.

i don't support the religious profiling currently going on in abia; but never in ur life should u come here trying to claim the moral high ground, because while the ppl of aba are merely 'harrassing' muslims verbally, the ppl of kano, kaduna and other muslims states are KILLING christians.

Religion is baseless. They are yet to define God, but are steeped in bigotry and hatred as demanded by the various Gods they adhere to.
