Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by spearman(m): 5:47am On Aug 06, 2010 |
By Emmanuel Ogala August 6, 2010 05:29AM print email The Senate President, David Mark, has called on the federal government to elongate the one year compulsory National Youth Service Scheme to two years. He made the call in Abuja when he addressed the 125 National Defence College (NDC) participant's course 18 graduates and their directing staff. He said the additional one year should be devoted to military training. Mr Mark argued that the current three-week orientation program is "just inadequate." He suggested that, in addition to the military training, the first year should also be devoted to training the graduates in discipline, national interest, values and inculcation of patriotism, ideals of nationhood and development. "I believe that when we get our national interest and values right with proper discipline among the youth and commitment to our fatherland, the ingredients needed for national survival, and the malaise in our society would have been erased," he said. Nigeria currently practices a scheme where all graduates of tertiary institutions below the age of 30 compulsorily give one year of service to the nation. The corps members are posted to a state different from their home state and state of residence. The scheme was initiated after the civil war, to encourage national integration. http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Home/5603495-146/mark_seeks_extension_of_youth_service.csp We are really in trouble |

Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by Nobody: 5:54am On Aug 06, 2010 |
WTF is the point of NYSC. My mom told me that if I want to work in NIgeria, I'd have to complete this service, is it true? I'm like really scared of the shoit that I heard goes on in that service. For real, I'm too precious/pretty to be bothered by cults. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by MaziUche0(m): 5:55am On Aug 06, 2010 |
Ileke-IdI: You wont have to worry about the East, but up North you will have a lot to worry about. They can send me to Lagos and I'll be happy. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by udezue(m): 5:56am On Aug 06, 2010 |
That guy na real oaf. They should just scrap that program. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by Nobody: 5:58am On Aug 06, 2010 |
MaziUche0:Cant you decide where you want to go? |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by MaziUche0(m): 6:01am On Aug 06, 2010 |
Ileke-IdI: When was the last time you been to Naija? They assign you. You really don't need to show up if you have money. Just pay the right people and they will give you the certificate. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by Nobody: 6:03am On Aug 06, 2010 |
MaziUche0:Stop asking me that question, Mr. Alright. Sometimes, you just have to thank God for bribe-able officials. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by Nobody: 6:04am On Aug 06, 2010 |
I'm too precious/pretty to be bothered by cults. se this one - so the chicks bothered by cults are cheap and ugly |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by MaziUche0(m): 6:07am On Aug 06, 2010 |
Ileke-IdI: Just asking, because I thought it was common knowledge. I have to do mines soon, and hopefully I get posted in the southwest. Then I shall have my fun. But God forbid they post me in the North! |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by THEAMAKA(f): 6:08am On Aug 06, 2010 |
MaziUche0:you're going back to do yours for what? why? |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by Nobody: 6:09am On Aug 06, 2010 |
oyb:ehehe, I'm just saying. My "mom" tells me that I'm too precious and pretty MaziUche0: Nasty osh. May you find one Yoruba woman wey go put magun on you. Amen. But why are you doing it? Do I have to? Is it required for Nigerian citizens abroad to come home and complete it? |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by MaziUche0(m): 6:09am On Aug 06, 2010 |
THE AMAKA: So I can get into politics! Why else? I want my piece of the national cake. My brothers did it before me, now it is my turn. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by THEAMAKA(f): 6:10am On Aug 06, 2010 |
MaziUche0:i hope you're not planning to misrepresent the Igbo people, you might just turn into one of those greedy politicians. @topic THEY NEED TO STOP TRYING TO USE PEOPLE FOR CHEAP LABOR! |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by MaziUche0(m): 6:11am On Aug 06, 2010 |
Ileke-IdI: Stop wishing bad luck on me! Let me have my fun. Maybe they can post me in Ekiti State. Give me a few months and I shall know Yoruba fluently. Because of politics. You don't have to, but many companies and government positions require you to do so. But if you don't plan on working in Naija, then don't do it. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by MaziUche0(m): 6:12am On Aug 06, 2010 |
THE AMAKA: No, not one of the politicians! I plan to spread the money to Arochukwu or maybe Abia state in general except Ngwaland. And become a wealthy man in the process as well. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by THEAMAKA(f): 6:13am On Aug 06, 2010 |
MaziUche0:sigh. . . same old |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by Nobody: 6:14am On Aug 06, 2010 |
MaziUche0:Yes oh, then Aigbofa can deal with you for me A few months indeed. I'll prolly need to complete NYSC. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by MaziUche0(m): 6:16am On Aug 06, 2010 |
THE AMAKA: I am just joking. I wouldn't survive in Nigerian politics. Seen what happened to my uncle and I do not want any part of it. Rather work for a company or NGO. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by THEAMAKA(f): 6:17am On Aug 06, 2010 |
i thought you would be one of those Nigerians that never return (or only to visit) good job tho. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by MaziUche0(m): 6:18am On Aug 06, 2010 |
Ileke-IdI: Maybe I should stick with Lagos, I do not have family in Ekiti. You probably couldn't handle NYSC. lol It is not for everyone. God forbid you have to go to a village in Alaigbo. Since I know you have been Americanized, that would be very hard for you. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by MaziUche0(m): 6:19am On Aug 06, 2010 |
THE AMAKA: Why would I not want to return? Where I was treated like a king in Port Harcourt. Plus, there is money to be made in Naija. You just need to be cunning and know the right people. It matters what circle you are involved in. Thank God my father is in one of those circles. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by Nobody: 6:20am On Aug 06, 2010 |
Who has been Americanized? WDH is americanized? Dude I'm prolly more NIgerian than you. . . . moving on [Never been so insulted] I already said I cant handle it. I'm too fragile to be stuck in a camp full of ugly looking nigerian men. Imagine what waking up to all that can do to a person's cardiovascular system. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by MaziUche0(m): 6:25am On Aug 06, 2010 |
Ileke-IdI: Ileke-idi. . . it is ok being an akata. No problem. Embrace it. Do not feel insulted. U been in yankee for a while. And you think you too good for the Nigerian men back home? |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by Nobody: 6:32am On Aug 06, 2010 |
MaziUche0:Like I said, you're more Akata than me. No problem. Whatevs Not just the one back home, even the ones over here |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by slap1(m): 6:38am On Aug 06, 2010 |
I think it should be optional after the first year because some peeps get more broke after the service cos of unemployment. So for such people, I think the option of doing an extra year and earning the regular stipend won't be so bad. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by philip0906(m): 8:34am On Aug 06, 2010 |
Mark must be insane. . .we wey still dey clamour 4 d scrapping of d program,them wan come elongate d thing.NYSC(National youth slavery camp) should be scrapped. . .its meaningless and needless. . .I can bet with my morning food,that there is a motive behind this(no be naija we dey?) |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by bibiking1(m): 9:24am On Aug 06, 2010 |
And there goes the morons opening their vocal cavities yet again! |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by Nobody: 10:16am On Aug 06, 2010 |
This will only lead to more frustration;a lot of people are already agitating for the scrapping of the service because the scheme has outlived its objectives.what we have now is a case of nepotism where the influential corpers are posted to NNPC and other big companies while the less privileged one are sent to crisis-proned areas and villages without good water nor communication network. |
Re: Mark Seeks Extension Of Youth Service To Two Years by Nobody: 10:32am On Aug 06, 2010 |
