It does! If she was not serving, she probably wouldn't be in Abj or even be out late to celebrate POP!

It is a pity people think like this.She is a night person even if she was not serving she would have kept late for one reason or the other like birthday party. I am sad that she is dead but NYSC have nothing i mean not even a connection to this.She was not on NYSC assignment or whatever

NYSC shouldn't be scrapped o. That allowee is something for some people like me who started biz with what I gathered during my service year.

I see the scheme as an opener to opportunities in rural areas for some of us who were born in cities. I'm a living testimony of this.

Besides, objectives of the scheme been achieved or not depends on the individual. To me, it's achieved.

That culprit (police officer) must be charged for murder. It's quite unfortunate for the lady.


May her soul rest in perfect peace and her sins forgiven

The fact is, you knew what you set out to achieve with the NYSC.

Most of those asking for its scrapping are people who wouldn't know what to do if a million Bitcoins were handed to them.

NYSC is a good structure in this nation but needs to be restructured and not scrapped
Re: Nigerians React To Igwetu Linda Nkechi Shot Dead By Police: 'Scrap NYSC Now' by jattopeter(m): 12:43pm On Jul 05, 2018
In Abuja 7 of policemen were killed , few days later an armless lady was killed Corper . If they are that strong where were they when those people attacked? This is Nigeria where every body is criminal. You dont need prophet to tell you before you know that the country it self is hot. Please let us becareful the country is not friendly.

What has NYSC got to do with this?

Did she get stopped by cops because she was a corper?
Was she shot because because she was a corner?
Was she refused treatment because she was a corper?

How EXACTLY is this NYSC's fault?
please talk some sense to these folks! Nigerians can be very sentimental. I only see two parties at fault in this matter. The deceased (RIP) and her companions, and the hospital that refused to attend to her after being shot. The trigger-happy cop is not exonerated here as well, but c'mon this is Nigeria and we all know that they (including SARS) are public enemies, and what they're capable of!!!

Now, it's just funny how NYSC and its Scrapping is dragged into the matter by Nigerians. There is no responsibility NYSC has in this mata.
From the backstory, we can gather that...
1. The tragedy didn't occur during official working hours of a Corp member. It occurred in the wee hours of the night (3am), and in a location that cannot be described as a Corp member's PPA.
2. The deceased (or any of her companions) were not in any clothing that would identify her as a Corper to security operatives. Not even a head dress (cap).
3. As a Corper, you have no reason to be scared of/or evade security operatives in Nigeria. Instead, you are more likely to get favours on identification. (speaking from experience). Except of course you're not clean!

Now who's to blame here, with the observations made above... ? Hospital police report Mata sef for no dey if this girl and her padi been park well for police. Let's be objective abeg!!!


Lessons:
1. Watch your company!
2. Always carry a valid means of identification
3. Never run or drive away from gun-totting security operatives, especially at their checkpoint. You'd be mistaken for a criminal and very likely fired at or chased.
4. Avoid late nights!!


May her gentle soul RIP!

As in en.... A lot of Nigerians are just too dull.


Some were even suggesting that we should leave protest and start praying for God to come down and confront the government on our behalf. grin. Chai

Oh nooo, did anyone really say that. How far can we go with our stupidity and selfishness. So God is now the one to fight for us, and hopefully flush out the governments we installed ourselves. Oh nooo , please I want to leave Nigeria already.

The only way is to protest, knock senses Into them, because God and his angels won't do that for us(I don't even believe in that).

Africans , I'm weeping for you. Nigeria, I'm ashamed of you.

A young promising girl just lost her life after years of struggling to pull through and one day live happily with the feeling of fulfillment, only for one idiot to cut her short, and we are not doing anything cry cry cry .

After your NYSC and you are looking for job, they will ask you whether you have 2-5yrs experience before you get the job.. All graduating students should go for I. T to have a good experience instead of the NYSC...NYSC should be scrap.
Re: Nigerians React To Igwetu Linda Nkechi Shot Dead By Police: 'Scrap NYSC Now' by sammirano: 1:14pm On Jul 05, 2018
They should scrap it oo. One year of imprisonment, with no form of protection. Even if hospitals don't treat gun shots wound without a report, there should be exceptions for serving corps.

But her's was preventable
Yes, could've been prevented if she hadn't gone to school, it could have been prevented if she hadn't gone out late that night, it could also had been prevented if she had stopped at the checkpoint. There are lots of variables. I am not blaming her for her death, but blaming the program isn't the right way to go

You're still talking?

Someone is trying to minister sense to you abeg listen!

Person reach checkpoint no gree stop one foolish trigger happy idiot shoot am how that one take be NySC fault?

Na NYSC ask am not to stop? na NYSC choose posting to abj for her? Na NYSC give am car to drive?

Abeggiiii park well

It could have been prevented by so many things. Maybe choosing to stay home, get posted to a different state, stop at the checkpoint, etc etc

The focus now should be on the police who are not there to secure us from herdsmen and kidnappers but will be there to shed innocent blood and not on the NYSC.

All the same may her soul rest in peace.

Imagine someone blaming NYSC for someone who chose to leave her house to celebrate and refused to stop at a checkpoint (if the stories we heard of how the incident transpired are true)

Truly we are really producing uneducated youths who cheat their way through school and expect life to be handed over to them on a platter of gold. Na now I dey understand why PMB calls them lazy Nigerian youths

In developed Countries, their Hospitals do normally treat gunshot victims but, Wil most likely cuff them to the bed and release them after getting police clearance.
But the case 4 Naija is different nah, we have over Sabi Police men

A very sad news hit the Internet yesterday, I Was even Sleeping when the news broke, Someone was buzzing my phone to break the News for me.
Now A young lady with a promising future was shot and killed by a Police officer named Benjamin Peters, The lady, Linda Nkechi was preparing for her POP as she was set to pass out until her untimely death....

Reports Says she was rushed to the Hospital, But they refused treating Because she had no Police report, They watched her bled to her death.

And while the Parents are taking up the case in Court already, Some Angry Nigerians has been reacting to the heartbreaking news on twitter calling on Federal Government to scrap NYSC.

See below!

Please stop blaming the police, we all know they act like fools sometimes but when u don't stop at a police check point I don't think he is wrong to open fire, if you are not a criminal then u should stop. I blame the driver and the hospital.

I felt deeply pained enough to write again on NL after a very long time just because of what you wrote.
If it were your sister, I'm sure you'd have had a different perspective about the incident.
In any sane country in the world, you just don't shoot at people just because they failed to stop at a check point.
Have a great day.
