For Prospective CORPERS only

If for nothing at all....let people,at least,collect that one year 'free' salary

Now your suffering continue

No wonder

rationalmind:
We seem to have something in common which is inherent hatred for the NYSC scheme.

I have never seen anything good in NYSC. I hate every second, minute, hour and day I spent in NYSC camp. I even hate to remember the experience.

Unfortunately, no matter how we ask for it to be scrapped or at least made voluntary, NYSC will remain. Several people at thej top benefit directly from the scheme

I also hate NYSC especially the experience I had in Obi local government Nasarawa state. We had a ZI who is money conscious, we were force to pay a fraudulent fee of 500Naira for NYSC foundation.

Secondly, NYSC contributes a percentage of unemployment in the country because firms and institutions capitalise on cheap labour the get from corp members annually.

Everything nowadays is 10 reasons for this and that on front page. I don tire

If not for Nysc posting to Sokoto, i may not have gotten a job in one of the leading Nigeria banks and earning upto 200k 5 months after passing out from the Nysc programme

Just like most things in life, there are advantages and disadvantages

You call it free salary if you don't know your potentials.

I'll definitely earn double if I don't waste my time on NYSC with God's grace.

So what is free when I'll be working? Can 19,800 pay your bills? For me its not even enough for a week

taiwolusol:


We will make them!

Hope I'm not among "them "

i support this idea, it should be voluntary

I agree with all the points, I cldnt agree more with point 5.
Many graduates build their career on their first job. If a Lawyer or an engineer by training teaches in sch in d early days of his career, how wld we have technocrats and technically savvy individuals to run our industries, Power sector ND all, how will we become producers when pple r under utilized.
Even many schs eld even reject u ND say dry Av enof corps members, and dere r jobs out dere dat u cnt do for silly reasons best known to dem.

As an engineering graduate, I will say these scheme is just a waste of time. Let call a spade a spade. Why should only Medcine, Nursing,Pharmacy, MLS and law be given special priviledge and waste the precious time of others to teach in the so called dead public schools with no facilities to even carry out the assignment .The government should use the NYSC fund to rehabilitate the so called schools and leave us alone.

jacob05:

Nope.

NYSC is quite cheap calculate the cost of employing teachers

It is expensive for the value it returns. Take note.

whizqueen, no vex nah.. u don dey press P ooo.
Well, half d corpers in d program could actually make more than 19,800 but to some people dat money means alot ooo

Am expecting to serve in batch B 2015 and the Op is scaring the mass out of my momentum. All I may have left is V-square in the home direction.

Not now anymore you must become a teacher. I am sure dose leaders up there will never send their children for NYSC to teach...Myopic set of leaders. No change anywhere!

Like I said before, all those saying what the OP is saying are the ones who truly did not serve during their time as a corp member.

The FG should increase their allowance, that's all

I agree wit dat num 2, bt who wants 2listen??

Imagine!

Jk

If you were posted to serve in Lagos, will you be agreeing with her? Preferably a bank with a very high chance that you'll be retained.

I don't have your time.

1. ONLY THE YOUNG PAY THE PRICE, WHY?

Like the song, I have always wanted to be young and free. But to escape the rigor of NYSC, I needed to be a little more than that.
Why is it that only the Young pay the price?
I am 23 Years, apparently if I was just 7 years older, I wouldn’t be going through this Unnecessary Scheme.

How I wish I was Older


2. TO MANY UNCALCULATED RISKS

We Corp Members get involved in Road accidents, Election Violence, Bomb Explosion, Community fight, Religious Fights, Ethnic fights, and so on. It’s pitiable that only a few get noticed.
Our roads are more than bad. Corp Members risk too much when they embark on that 25 Hours long road trip to their state of deployment. Who bears this risk?
We risk too much by living in Adamawa, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Borno, Jos, Abuja, in fact anywhere that have recorded any form of terrorist attach in the last 5 Years.
It’s a pity some of our colleagues have died in road accidents and terrorist attacks.

NYSC is not worth our lives. we want out!


3. MANDATING NYSC INCONSISTENT WITH LIBERAL RIGHTS

The above is too much English. Let me explain in literal terms.
As a citizen, I am expected to be Law-Abiding. I am encouraged (not forced) to vote and to render voluntary service.
The act of Mandating National Youth Service before my rights of citizenship are extended is simply contrary to the purpose for which the country was founded and has endured.

My right to employment and contesting government offices shouldn’t be subject to my NYSC status.

It is wrong. THIS IS WRONG


4. MANDATING NATIONAL SERVICE DRAINS ITS VIRTUE

Why is it called National Youth Service in the first instance? It should be more like “Mandatory National Service”
We have to understand that for an Act to be Patriotic, it has to be voluntary. If it is required, it becomes nothing special.


5. NATIONAL SERVICE DISTRACTS US FROM OUR CAREER

To many of us, the one (1) Year National service is a big distraction to our career. Many of us go through the One year scheme and become rusty intellectual wise. No real challenge, we just sit and teach Primary 2 Kids all year long.


6. INCREASE IN IMMORALITY

Don’t be surprised.
The Service year unfortunately brings out the beast in our Youths as many of us see the NYSC year as a Jolli period where we go at the world. Little wonder there have been recurring cases of Corp Members impregnating their infant students.
But an Idle hand they say is the devil’s workshop.
Are Corp Members That Idle? YES THEY ARE! YES WE ARE!!!


7. WE ARE BAD TEACHERS, BAD ROLE MODELS

All thanks to the government’s questionable posting policy where 90% of corp members nationwide have been confined to the 4 walls of a classroom. Corp members now call the shots in the Nation’s most critical part of the economy.
This leaves the schools, students, parents and community at the mercy of quack, Hot, unfit and unprofessional educators.
Little wonder our students keep failing WAEC.

8. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE

How much do the government (State and Federal) spend on the seemingly unnecessary Programme.
I might not be so good at mathematics, but I can come with a rough estimate of about #350K on each corp member. Multiply that by close to a hundred thousand graduates that go through the scheme a year and you’ll have a feel of how much money the government is not getting value for.

Tax payer’s money they call it.


9. NYSC SHOULDN’T STOP US FROM LIVING

The above appear far fetched. Well it’s not.
How do you explain your absence at your Father’s burial?
How do you explain missing your own wedding? NYSC Head Count? HELL NO!!!
How do you explain loosing your Job?

That we are young graduates doesn’t mean we don’t have responsibilities. We have aging mothers to take care of; We have a Boy/Girl that calls us Daddy. We have siblings to look after;
We are sorry if we are unwilling to pack our bags to Kebbi. For some of us, Family comes first not the government. SORRY!!!

10. WE ARE TIRED

Tired of the peanut you pay us?
Tired of the ridiculously irritating houses you call NYSC Camps.
Tired of the ridiculous food you serve in camps.
Tired of the uncalculated risks
Tired of the double standards. The rich and famous don’t appear in Camps, they get their Certificates notwithstanding.
Tired of paying your staffs to Influence our Posting
Tired of loosing our Jobs, only to get the NYSC Certificate and start looking for them again.
Tired of Holding only the Young Ransom
We are Indeed Tired of the unnecessary scheme.

Trash!!! , I'm currently serving in Nasarawa state and believe me, NYSC is the best thing that can happen to a graduate, I've made many friends, potential billionaires are in my CDS, learnt new culture, still teaching in a government secondary school. It depends on how you view it, most of us ain't complaining

in your voice is that allowed. Just yarn rubbish!!

Maybe you're not totally right, but some points are worth reviewing.
Nigerian govt's insincerity to her citizens is the main reason why NYSC seems not to worth it really.
