What's Interesting About Nysc?

To be candid, i don't know what is really exciting about NYSC, it's all sham! i was once a copper but am yet to know what is exciting about it. Is it their any pride in serving your country that has no JOB to offer you? Oh! is it the peanut that the government gives coopers that is exciting about it? Can someone tell me what's good about NYSC?
To me, have always seen it as a waste of time!
