OK,

Any student without exemption letter that decides not to serve is wasting his/her time.
You can can get your exemption even if you are not up to 30, e.g if you have health issues.
Thats way i am always angry seeing pregnant women coming to camp, some are even nursing mothers, they should be exempted.

Nigerian students in abroad are coming home for that certificate this one is rushing abroad without it. Better think twice and get street OT

nebukadnezzari:


Na mumu dem be, how will I study abroad finish n rush back to Nigeria to serve a country riddled by thieves in high offices, omo I go go work for middle east where the pounds sterling dey flow.

Bhella5:


You have a very big ROCK on your shoulder that you call HEAD bros! You are not smarter than those 'mumu' Ode!

nebukadnezzari:


Bro I'm currently thinking of absconding NYSC self getting my visa to Kuwait soon where at least 1 dinar equals #700 let me see if I work there for 10 years how your net worth in Nigeria will match my shoe collection... BABA WAKE UP. ITS NO LONGER ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW, ITS ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU CAN SPEND!!! Nobody will value you if you are a poor church rat after acquiring the whole paper qualifications in Nigeria, I have seen so many broke professors in this lifetime.

Bhella5:

Pipe dreams!

nebukadnezzari:


Your mindset and that of those who have been fooling you has crumbled with the old era of stereotypical belief. WAKE UP!!! Lest your slumber ferries you to frustration, brokeness and death.

According to http://www.nysc.gov.ng/certificates-info/cr-cert-exemption.php , "With effect from 1st August, 1985, a person shall NOT be called upon to serve in the service corps if, at the date of graduation or obtaining his diploma or other professional qualification" :
1.He is over the age of thirty (30) years.
2.He has served in the Armed Forces of the Federation or the Nigeria Police Force for a period of more than nine months; or
3.He is a member of staff of any of the following:
a.The Nigerian Security Organization or
b.The State Security Service, or
c.The National Intelligence Agency or
d.The Defence Intelligence Service
4.He has been conferred with any National Honour.
These categories of persons are therefore exempted from service and issued with the Certificates of Exemption.
-------------

I haven't seen exemption of ill ,pregnant or nursing people there. Pls tell NYSC to include it on their website to clear the air.

...........All around the camp, NYSC had posted signs saying PREGNANT OR NURSING MOTHERS ARE FORBIDDEN FROM SERVING. I worry that while they force pregnancy tests on us this year, the next year they may force ‘nursing mothers’ tests on all serving female Corpers, asking us to strip down as they feel our breasts to see if they are producing milk........

I am happy to come across this discussion.I have a case which has been bothering me.I did my HND from Imo state Polytechnic,calabar.It's a part time program.I opted for that because of financial reasons.I was already engaged in a little way that could help me complete the program.I graduated with upper credit,Accountancy(which I can stand anywhere to defend).Now the rector is insisting that students from all satellite campuses cannot go for NYSC.I am still 3 years below the age of 30.I am desperately preparing to go for ICAN but the body needs NYSC certification.Should I go for exemption or wait since I understand the case in the school is still undergoing deliberations.Time is very much of essence.What should I do?,I am really disturbed.Useful advice please.Thank you all.

KingsJohnson:
Fellow Nairalanders, pls i do have a friend who will be graduating come this October, but he is indecisive whether to go for NYSC or leave the shores of Nigeria for greener pasture.

Then my question is whether there is any implication for not going to Youth Service?

jerflakes:


I beg to differ.

You guys keep forgetting that there's something like self-employment.

Olufemiolaolu:
Yep, service isnt by force.

Lakeland4321:
Its not true, its only if you graduated at 30,if before you will need to serve. If you wait till your above 30 so as to get the exemption cert.they will insist you go and serve becausr you graduated before 30. I agree nysc is overrated and shd be scrapped but for now we are stuck with it and the rules apply..

olatricia:
Please tell me an organization that has ever insisted you must serve because you are not up to 30 yrs old

taiwolusol:


Nigeria is not serving me!

Honestly, I owe her no shii

Baldmarv:
IF one doesn't serve his nation, he wont be eligible for government Jobs or even any meaningful company in Nigeria...skip NYSC if you dont ever plan to look for work in Nigeria!

justi4jesu:
No NYSC pictures to post on facebook,twitter and Instagram

Gemc3:
Let him just close his eyes and do his NYSC. Just get it over with. You never know. It's just a year then he can chase all the green pasture he wants outside Nigeria.

taiwolusol:


It is "just" one year you say
