OPEN LETTER TO THE DIRECTOR GENERAL (DG) NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE CORPS.
(BY:ALAO JOHN, A CONCERNED PROSPECTIVE CORPS MEMBER)

Dear Sir;

SAVE OUR FUTURE
STOP WASTING OUR PRECIOUS TIME

With due respect to your office and your personality sir, it would be insane of me if I fail to congratulate you on your appointment as the Director General (DG) National Youth Service Corps few months ago by General Muhammadu Buhari (President Federal Republic of Nigeria).
Haven said that, this letter is necessitated and borne out of the untold suffering, heartache and hardship prospective corps members had encountered in the last few months since the beginning of postponement saga.
I felt obliged to tell you sir that " A minute delay can result to a lifetime regret not to talk of spending almost a year at home anticipating for an inconsistent scheme called NYSC.

Sir, many has resigned from the menial work they use to keep the body and soul together with the believe that its about time to serve our Father's land.
What sicken me most is our inability to secure a better employment without NYSC dispatch certificate which is being demanded from us by employers in many organizations and parastatals.
More so,many prospective corps members can not further their education because of this delay.
It is pertinent to let you know that we are being forced to stay idle, and an idle hand they say is the devil's workshop.
Our precious time is being wasted by awaiting an inconsistent system all because of our curiosity and ardent desire to serve our Father's land in humility, patriotism and good faith.
How long shall we continue to wait?
How long shall we continue to hope?
How long shall we continue to anticipate earnestly?
How long shall we be subjected to unwarranted impediment?
Our patience has gotten to its elastic limit.
The hardship in Nigeria is so unbearable for us and it will be inhumane to be punishing the youth and leaders of tomorrow by promising them to continue to wait for what seems to be uncertain and this is not in the best interest of Nigeria graduates.
Sir, we can no longer wait for NYSC to determine the course of our future. As we are awaiting a new date yet to be fixed, it would be another rape on our right as Nigeria graduate if the time frame is so elongated than a week from now.
In lieu with this, as a concerned prospective corps member, I hereby urge and plead the management and staff of National Youth Service Corps headed by your good office to feel our pains and save our future by putting everything in place and in shape so that BATCH A STREAM II corps members can be camped in not more than a week time.
Sir, we know you to be a father and your magnanimous magnanimity is what we expect in this imbroglio in order to save our future because we are the leaders of tomorrow. A timely and urgent intervention is what we crave for.
A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE

Afta quitin s work in d name of serving d nation d only tin he got a delay. May God gv d Stream 2 d hrt to bear dis tryin moment. Above all, cant belve am d 1st to coment afta 6years of knwin wot is nairaland. I dedicate dis to my lovin mum and d love of my life.

Just the exact word on our mind you just put out;just for the sake of our future pls NYSC

Pls sir, adhere to what the writer said by fixing a new date this week. Because most stream 2 PCM had resigned from work, some had travelled to where they were posted to which make all of us to be frustrated at home or any other places find ourselves now without doing anything. Thank sir.

It is the Federal Government of Nigeria, not necessarily the scheme(NYSC) that is causing the delay.

He don tyre me.

Tell them bro

Well Said. Now hope the message falls on listening ears.

Just where is lalasticlala when you needed him. This needs to hit FP....

You eventually got admission after 4yrs of waiting, they introduce unnecessary strikes to slow your graduation. After which you prevailed. They end up keeping you at home for another 1yr all in the name of service to fatherland. By the time you are done with the so called service, you must have clocked 30yrs of age. You then went to look for a job only to be presented with a 24yrs age limit . By the time you realise, you are out of the labour market. And they still rule us even at the age of 73yrs. I pity the Nigerian youth.

FP material

Please I need this DG number , I have thousand of questions to ask him

.meanwhile zombie be like;

Well written piece

Hello ladies.

This op is a governor in embryo...
Nice one

why u carry the tin 4 head lyk say na only u dey affected! Mr. john face front jare!

this means nothing to them. When I say them I mean the FG and its appointees. They are clearly insensitive to the plight of the masses who trekked their soles off just to vote them in. If you doubt, ask Agatu residents and Nigerian foreign students

Look at what Buhari and his cohorts have turned Nigeria into. Everything is now in disarray

Everything about this administration is 'inconclusive' May God deliver us

I wish Nigeria could adopt the Ghanaian system...They don't go to camp and they all finish serving before finishing school...

Don't worry they will pay you guys all the months will stay at home, moreover you guys will still pass out the same time stream 1 are passing out

They are just playing with our future. Insensitive idiots

I ve a cousin who has stayed back at home going to a year now..if they know they can't fund the scheme they should "kukuma" scrap it,at least that is the writing that has been on the wall for a while...
All this song of no money,no money is a pointer...

Dg and federal gov't do the needful.

How I wish the media houses can be of help... All they know is to publish news relating to #dasukigate and others. Infact, this scheme is worthless with the way it's handled.
Even the nysc authorities cannot give any reason for its postponement, it's like they are also confused. What a pity!!!
A sad calamity to our youths
#weneedtoraiseourvoice

Na by force to serve. U people should not disturb us here. Abeg. Rubbish!

Everything about this government is 'inconclusive' May God deliver us

una doh

Dclique:
Well Said. Now hope the message falls on listening ears.

Unfortunately, PMB has ear infection.

How many months una don sit down. Just pray sha.. Cos even some batch a 2013 ex corpers neva get job.

There are Doctors who have their primaries yet cannot apply for residency because of the scam called NYSC, the delay just made things worse for them..This Govt is a shame! Because Zahra Buhari isn't among Stream 2 abi?

Which future. After service job no dey self
