Timbuktu14:
Scrap the goddamn thing!

TITOBIGZ:

Haba,God's last name no be DAMN Oo.

airsaylongcon:


You obviously haven't served! Do you know how many secondary schools rely on Corp members as teaching staff?

bushdoc9919:
No....keep it...for the reason that without NNPC.... NYSC

1.Many village schools won't have teachers.

2.Many village hospitals would not have medical personnel

3.Many Nigerian youth would be unemployed.

4.People won't learn how to get out of their comfort zone...and adapt to new environment.

Walexsammy:
so many states have already hijacked it. They don employ teachers again, they now use Corp members as there regular teachers, I even no of a skul wia there vice principal is a corp member

scofieldsimba:

Wrong!

I served over 10 years ago..

It was purely a waste of time and goverment resources..
Government should employ teachers and not rely on corps members..

MsGlobalwonder:
well, the essence of NYSC is to promote unity and "acculturation" which is already abused. Ideally i'm Yoruba and I wasn't supposed to serve in a SW state, but guess what? I served in my state of Origin! Nothing spectacular. Nothing memorable. I hated it from the camp where nothing works.All I see was waste of resources. For instance, I gathered that the total cost of kit for each corp member is 20,000 naira. You can be rest assured all the kits given were not up to 8000naira. The food, no facilities at all.
Some are claiming impact and teaching, blablabla. How many corpers are actually good teachers? How many even stay in their PPA. I taught in a private school and I felt used! Not financially alone; these schools make so much money, they have at least 100students and each pay 20000 naira. Guess what? They have just 4 teachers and 10corpers. The school specially request for corpers. Corpers are equal to free labour. They pay corpers 5000 and their staff 15000. That includes extra hour lessons. It's ridiculous! I felt used. I would rather have learnt some personal and professional trainings than that. Schools should have teachers either public or private. We shouldn't promote mediocrity! The government should employ teachers. The proprietors too should employ and pay teachers well. If that is in place, graduates will be excited to teach for life.

omitooguns:



all of u shouting scrap either have nt served, will never sever, or when u served, u missed d CORE OBJECTIVES of NYSC.


NYSC, apart from training graduates to Defend of d Nation, is tackling Unemployement Seriously through SAED...Skill Acquisition and Entreprenuership Development Programme....Trainers come everyday immediately after d swearing in ceremony.


So u all get ur fact right b4 shouting Scrap.

...una need to hear testimonies...

Serving Corp... B'15


NYSC can only b better not scrapped.

johnydon22:


still expecting your call bro

clans:

Just wait till you leave camp then you know this SAED is a scam, just pray you get posted to wherever you can continue with your SAED

Alexcollins:
Linus. vp a corp member? I doubt dat...

agrovick:

Are you listening to them? The same set of people screaming scrap it are those who
1) are first to grumble when the allowee doesn't enter on time
2) Do not stay in their various ppa
There is no doubt the scheme has it's own benefits and of course it's demerits. Because of the scheme I'm being forced to re-read in order to teach my students and all I can say is it's a building up process. Do I need to mention the opportunity of learning new languages and experiencing the cultures of other people and of course experience the feeling of working for your own money. I'm a proponent of reforming the scheme

agrovick:

Smh, selfish somebory. That's when you are most likely to be mobilized right?

DBounty:
Firstly,u ceated an impression not to b biased but ended up on a biased note.Anyway, my opinion is that NYSC shd b modified and not scrapped. Why? Because it has and will continue to achieve integration,interaction,and support. How? Thru language,marriage,culture,religion,etc understanding,acceptance and tolerance.Also, d billions spend and d time taken are are seriously needed to sustain and maintain d d hundreds of many half -baked graduates in d country.As for corruption in NYSC,it begins right from primary school-Teachers inclusive.
Thanks.
