Blood sucking Country-Imagine make person suffer train pikin from primary sch to university make d pikin con go die for NYSC camp, they say their is a demon at Aso Rock but i tell you that demon is all over the whole of Nigeria, i dont know if its hate for one another, or just ancestral curse abi na some old god demanding blood sacrifice (even though i dont believe all that) but why so much unnecessary death of young pple. Na wa o...

This is so disheartening, I just hope the investigation would be carried out properly and measures put in place to prevent future occurrences. I just completed my service year last month and I can say that the negligence on the part of most nysc officials toward corps members is top notch but thanks to God for the successful completion. RIP

Feeling thankful for completin my service year without any health issues...

Obviously you've not gone for NYSC. Just be patient, corp members of Hausa descent will soon come your way.

R. I. P to them.

R. I. P to PDP also.

This govt. Keep bringing bad fortunes towards this nation.

May God help us in dis country

Scrap this rubbish called NYSC cos it has outlived it's usefulness. U guys are just making a lot of money on the back of these innocent young Nigerians . What is it that the participants gains from it apart from the miserable N19,800 monthly stipend? The ministry responsible for the program don't even know how many dies each year. All they are interested is making lots of money while some families suffer the agony of losing loved ones. Let's see if anything comes out of this investigations.
