LETTER TO THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF NYSC:
'DON'T START THE WAR'
I write as a law abiding citizen of this great country to inform and educate our father, the amiable Director General of the National Youth Service Corps of the consequences and unforseen malady that may not likely occur but also cause and have every tendency of break-up and disfiguration to NYSC as a scheme.
Sir, it is no longer news that the current Batch B 2015 corps members are likely to wind-up their National Youth Service on different dates as stated in the circular released on Sept. 16th, 2016. This is a great threat and injustice to the law abiding graduates serving their beloved fatherland.

Going by 365 days calendar, NOVEMBER 2015- NOVEMBER 2016 is 13months and should not be miscalculated as a year (a rent secured in January expires December, not next January). In line with the above, the calculation made by NYSC is not only fallacious but mock in psychological realm.

Dear Sir, you will recall that both stream 1 and 2 (BATCH B. 2015) were mobilized on the same date as arranged by the senate, but were dissever due to the incapacity of camps to accommodate the mobilized figures.

On this note, I wish to bring to your hearing the likely consequences if the decision remains fixed;
1. NYSC Scheme will lose its true value as prospective graduates are likely to be disappointed once not mobilized with the first stream.
2. The current BATCH B (STREAM 2) are in total danger, harassment and helpless due to the expired I.D card starting from October 6th, 2016. And violence might wage war against the the two streams on the said date.
3. Students could go extra miles in order to be in the first stream due to this first-come first-serve generating law and this should not be.
4.Parents and guardians would no longer believe or have trust in NYSC due to the unbalanced calculation and time consumed factor...
5. There had never been a time in the history of National Youth Service (since established by Late Yakubu Gowon in 1970s) when two streams of the same Batch had POP on different dates. This is a tradition which we need to maintain and follow for this scheme to remain meaningful and helpful as set up.

To conclude, I wish to remind you that the Batch B, stream 1 enjoyed a total break of November and December after they left the camp in November which was not given to the stream 2 as both streams resumed at their various Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) on the same date (January 2016). In the light of the above, an injury to one is an injury to all. OnThisNoteISay, NYSC MUST NOT FALL, OUR HEROES LIVE ON...
NIGERIANS SAY NO to separate POP of Batch B. 2015 and thereafter...

Corpers wee ooo! Anything we tolerate remains if nothing is done about it. These are some of the reasons we should not keep quiet about the planned postponement of the batch B stream 2 passing out. First, all ID cards expire in October and claiming that you are a corps member especially with the security agencies when your ID card says otherwise is a good recipe to get into trouble. And we all know that corps members are one of the most vulnerable persons in Nigeria. Secondly, so many of us have made plans to move forward with our lives and the postponement will irreparably damage a lot of things. Thirdly, we are all batch B and ever since we have been treated as such. Separating us now is not only discriminatory but unfairly prejudicial. The separation should be carried out with the new set, after duly informing them. If they are worried about the 12th allowance, they should either give it to us or forego it, or they could treat the postponement period as part of our terminal leave so that there will be no question of paying us without us working. We do not care about the money, what we care about is our discharge certificate issued to us on 6th October 2016 with our colleagues. Don't say you're not stream 2, or not in the current 2015 batch B, so it doesn't affect you. You never know how events will turn out. For the next few days, let us launch a massive protest by sending texts to the DG on these numbers 09035227992, 07013475481. Give him any of the above reasons, or more that you can think of. Let us not relent until our voice is heard nationwide. Pass on this message. Make sure you send a text each day until a new circular is sent out reversing the postponement. It all depends on you now... Corpers wee!!!
