Every time, you report the demise of corp members either via political violence or medical inadequacy or clan clashes, etc.
Don't you have sense?! Stop using corp members for elections! Stop using them as experiments to treat Ebola victims! There are trained personnels for that!
This is no longer service. It's a set up. A scam. Scrap this shit called NYSC. The purpose has been defeated.
First, you waste our one year. Then you render us unproductive by deploying us to schools and firms that reduce our IQ level. You finally pay us peanuts as compensation. Some of us work on credit as you skip our payment most times. We even have to plead when we miss a CDS (Corpers' Discussion Scheme) just so we can get a clearance for payrolling. This is an abuse of human right. Nigerian youths are better than this. Some of us leave school regretting what we studied for 4 years. And when we have the time to put our lives into perspective, you send us to
a remote, networkless village where life is lived backwards.
Spare me the bullshit of how many of us get employment, spouses, and a passion for service and tolerance of culture in those rural areas. The whites and the pinks have been doing much more than that without a NYSC scheme in their country. People will find spouse anyhow (even if it's a one-year spiritual or military training).
Let me not talk about how much fund is pumped into this scam that could be used for more productive channels. How do you even generate
revenue to run this? Or is all from the government? Who does that? Financial 'investment' without financial returns? I know those buildings and Secretariat don't generate income. I also know corpers don't give offerings. Neither do they pay alumni dues. On the average, a corper earns #217,800 in 11 months. If you so please to spend this money, give the entire money to every graduate when they leave school. It's a more reasonable money to invest than breaking it into bits.
As for the staff who will cry unemployed when the scheme shuts down, you are the one that encouraged us into SAED (Speeches And Endless Digressions). You should fix yourself. Or better still, join the pensioners' queue. What do you do for a living? You are a NYSC staff. What is your job description? I payroll. Clap for yourself.
In the sight of this economic hardship with the President crying no money, scrap NYSC and have all the money you want. Take #217,800
from over 2million youths per batch, the figure is out of range in my calculator. Do the maths yourself.
I know everybody won't share this view. That's why it's my view. I'm the one seeing it. All eyes are not equal.
Plus, I may be wearing shades.
I hate long posts!
Blame NYSC for this too#Copied#

seconded....nysc is a waste of one year...

Hmmm... I just had to comment just to draw your attention on something...

According to your Estimated number of corpers (2 Million People)

Now answer this question:
If the Government failed to scrap NYSC when it was not a money making venture to them, is it now that it generates N3,045.69 per corper that it will be scrapped? Using your estimate of 2 million corpers per year as constant. Remember those that got excluded are not included in your 2 million and they also pays.

Kindly reply

Its not all the 2 million corpers that pay the 3045 naira oo.... besides they spend way more per person eg 1500 and 1000 and 19800 and cost of running camps, operations in all 37 states. If that was a business it would faill.... its clear nysc gets grants from elsewhere, which is clearly not sustainable anymore.
Am with this most recent batch my dear gone are the days when people actually did service for the love and adventure of it, i am currently walking through the scheme like a zombie just to get the almighty certificate . You force me to work for almost for free in rural and underdeveloped areas in a field that i have zero passion for and you want me to be self reliant after a year? How? How do i become self reliant as a teacher do i get my own school after 1 year from the government? Or do i join the queue of unpaid teachers still relying on govt or private proprietors.
U want me to join saed no problem, i actually want to gain the skill as a part time thing, but my dream actually lies in finance, in this field if you dont practice you wont become qualified especially now that am almost past 26 years age limit for employment. I want to become a professional and open my own firm in Abuja in 10 years target from now. So what did i do, my advice to anyone doing nysc is..... dont let these insensitive policy makers in our country derail you from your dreams, they dont realise that if one Nigerian achieves his or her dream, nigeria will attain greater heights, instead they always put barriers to everything admission into schools, studying in school, even employement after school or practicing what you studied in school.
Nigeria's unemployment crisis sterns from the fact that it doesn't value its graduates. Because of the quantity of graduates out there, even an nysc official told us that we are not the only graduates out there, nothing special about us. So my dear, i didnt let nysc ruin a whole year of my life, i went and met some professional firms and am currently working as a trainee finance assistant.
If these insensitive policy makers wont adjust to present day reality of a Nigerian youth, then corruption will always be there to help the youths get away from insensitive schemes like the nysc and jamb.
They fail to realise that unemployment rate has a negative correlation with economic growth, if no one is working in this country, nobody is adding to the gdp, economic growth remains stagnant, its simple economics not rocket science lets not be sentimental over national orientation civil war bull crap.
How can you pull a medical doctor who has been working from his well paying job to go and be earning peanuts in a rural area. Is nysc creating unemployment or ending it? What of people who already have businesses, do they leave it for one year, running at a loss? I know how many jobs i've lost just because i dont have the nysc certificate, so my dear corpers, dont let nysc fool you, civil war happened over 40 years ago, do not suffer or loose your dreams over it, i learnt how to be corrupt from nysc scheme o, because if they subject everyone to an unreasonable and agonistic scheme, some people are bold enough to grease any palm greasable to get out of it and face reality. So.... they can take all the time in the world before it gets scrapped, my children wont go through this, i will see to it personally by then.
Nysc doesn't support the dreams of any Nigerian youth, rather it just teaches you the barest minimum and survival skills in the wild, and of course corruption. I recommend that nysc be scrapped or reviewed to introduce national apprenticeship scheme, for graduates to gain experience in their field for a year, in their own state and they will be paid a national apprenticeship allowance. There is no way anyone won't get experience to go into the world and multiply.

. You make sense bro' ...ma friend runs to get his 'KonFam' Discharge Cert. Without attending the NYSC Orientation 1day, him no even know hw the NYSC uniform dey sef, infact the guy was busy attendin' some sophisicated certification courses/programs to enhance his employability, boost his CV & Competence. Guess what? He's working with a big coy in Lasgidi. He's such a smart & well articulated dude. Who get dat kind time for kopa tinz? Mtcheeeew!

This is the season of scrapping, scrapping of irrelevant schemes to save money in this present Economic realities facing the nation. If its true NYSC is scrapped, then graduates should be given grants/loans to start-up something, to cushion the effects & to further enhance their productivity. One (1) full year of time wasting & at the end, no much savings in their accounts, in the name of NYSC is absolutely crap! If need be, i also recommend National Apprenticeship Scheme highlighted by the guy above me, to enable graduates engage in practical skills, relevant to what they studied in school or vice versa, to further boost their self confidence, competency & efficiency. This is what i have to contribute to the topic.

I agree
