NYSC: The Seven Sins of Davido and Accompanying Sanctions by Richarmond O. Natha-Alade

In recent time, there has been emphasis on the need to participate in the one year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme mandated under the enabling Act. The calls amidst the recent realities of sacks, resignations and disqualifications (among others) of political leaders who became graduates at and/or before the age of thirty but failed to participate in the scheme.

The mandatory NYSC scheme is governed by several codes and ethics, the violation of which attracts penalties, ranging from extension of service year to termination of service year and prosecution among other disciplinary actions to be determined by the designated and/or empowered officials of the Scheme.

David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, recently put in for the mandatory NYSC program sequel to his graduation from the University before the age of thirty. Consequently, he was mobilised to the Iyana Ipaja, Lagos Orientation Camp of the Scheme but has since taken off to do other things.

Davido is widely acknowledged and popular both home and abroad. That said, can we conclude that the George Orwell’s view about the society by his book ‘Animal farm’ is in play? Whence, he said by several allegorical syllogism: “All animals are equal but some are more equal than the other”. In other words, it seems we are all equal before the law but some are more equal than others. The question is; is Davido above all other Corps members currently participating in the program to the extent that he cannot be sanctioned, queried and/or at least cautioned if found wanting?

Davido, 26, was one of the 2,152 Batch ‘B’ Stream II corps members sworn-in at the NYSC orientation camp at Iyana Ipaja in August, 2018. Since Davido joined the Scheme, the Following are the SEVEN NYSC Rules of engagement broken by him:

1. Davido was brought into the Orientation camp a chauffeur Driven White exotic car and drove amidst fanfare among other corps members and obviously protected by security guides.

2. Davido left the Orientation camp and never participated in the activities of NYSC at the camp.
The Pop star left the orientation camp to Boston in United States ahead of his ‘Locked Up’ Concert. Afterward, he performed at the opening
day of Jay-Z’s Made in America Festival in Philadelphia, United States.

3. After leaving the orientation camp, Davido never returned.

4. Davido’s Primary Place of Assignment is unknown.


5. Davido did not report promptly to his Primary Place of Assignment or participate in activities at his secondary place of assignment.

6. Davido continues to engage in his private practice as a musician.

7. Davido fully participated in politics during the recently concluded governorship elections in Osun State.


It is noteworthy that the above listed offences attract both light and heavy penalties if some of the offences considered as reconcilable are not met with the attached condition precedents.

Davido violated the provisions of Section 3(I)(15) of the NYSC Bye-Laws (18/19), Section 3(III)(2, 3, 5 6, 7,12, 14)) of the NYSC Bye-Laws (18/19), and Section 4(9) of the NYSC Bye-Laws (18/19). For ease of reference, I hereunder reproduce the contents of the cited sections of the Bye Laws:

Section 3(I)(15) of the Bye laws provides as follows:

During the Period of orientation, every member shall not bring vehicles or motorcycles into the orientation camp.

Any member who brings vehicles or motorcycles to camp shall not be registered, and if already registered, shall be decamped
ii) Such member shall only be allowed to return to service to join the next batch in the orientation camp.


Section 3(III)(2, 3, 5 6, 7,12, 14) of the NYSC Bye-Laws (1993) Provides as follows:

During the Period of Primary Assignment, every member shall:

2. Not be late to report at duty station


Any member who reports late at duty station shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and if found guilty, be liable to extension of service on half pay double the period he is late to station. Any member who reports late at duty station shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and if found guilty, be liable to extension of service on half pay double the period he is late to station

3. Not fail to report to duty punctually.
Any member who reports late for duty shall be queried by his employer and the report sent to the State Coordinator for disciplinary action.

5. Not fail to carry out duties diligently

Any member who fails to carry out his duties diligently shall be queried by his employer and the report sent to the State Coordinator for disciplinary action.

6. leave his duty station or absent himself from any official activity without the written consent of the State Coordinator.
Any member who leaves his duty station or absents himself from any official activity without the permission of the State Coordinator shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and, if found guilty, be liable to extension of service with half pay double the period of absence.

7. Not travel outside the State without written permission of the State Coordinator
Any member who travels outside the State without the written permission of the State Coordinator shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and, if found guilty, be liable to forfeiture of allowance for the number of days absent and extension of service with half pay double the period of absence.

12. Not engage in private practice


Any member who engages in private practice shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and, if found guilty, be liable on conviction to extension of service for a period not less than twenty one (21) days without pay.



14. Not travel outside Nigeria without the written permission of the Director-General
Any member who travels outside Nigeria without the written permission of the Director-General shall be tried by the Corps Disciplinary Committee and, if found guilty, be liable to extension of service without pay double the period of absence


Section 4(9) of the NYSC Bye-Laws (1993) Provides as follows:

Every member shall Not take part in partisan politics.


Any member who takes part in partisan politics is liable to extension of service for a period not less than three (3) months without pay.
It is clear from the above-cited provisions of the NYSC byelaws and the facts earlier relayed that Davido is in breach of the rules guiding the NYSC scheme.

Even if we were to assume that Davido obtained permission for all his engagements, the question to ask is how much permission can he take during his continuous participation in the scheme? By section 6(2) of the enabling law, Davido cannot get more than 14 days leave of absence during the entire program.

Davido similarly went overboard when he wore PDP attires and campaigned from town to town for his uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, despite being a corps member in active service.

Despite all the breaches, there is no record to show that Davido has been queried, sanctioned, brought before a court, suspended and/or cautioned in any way by the NYSC management. The inference to be drawn is that Davido is above the law or above all other corps members. The Lagos State NYSC coordinator and the Director General of the NYSC clearly owe Nigerians some explanations.

Over to these gentlemen. Let us see if a post from NYSC can ever make the Front page:

lexy2014:
Jesus didn't weep because of me. He wept at d graveside of his friend Lazarus at which time I wasn't even born. So ur first statement lacks credibility.

Ur response is more or less an emotional response 2a very simple & straight forward discussion. If it were about "he that hasnt sinned should cast d first stone", then our judges in d courts of law won't b judges. We live in an imperfect society. That's a fact. but ur reasoning is flawed cos if we to go by it, we can as well say no kidnapper or armed robber should b jailed cos we all don't pay our taxes.

My poser to u was simple. If u felt that d author of d article was only concerned about character assassination, take d points he raised, xray them& point out their flaws. Then on ur own produce laws that support ur claim that davido is acting within d gambits of d law. Its that simple. Going on and on about who NYSC help, other people break d law e.t.c isn't relevant 2d discussion. That argument doesn't exonerate anyone or justifies wrong doing. If u feel he is doing d right thing, pls state why and how.

Kemisolabadmus:

You are saying bullshit
Jesus wept does not literally refer to that particular event in the bible so sad yiur common sense cannot even decode a simple message you are here explaining rubbish that does not even portray you as a sane person
Since you know that everyone is a sinner and who hasn't sin before should be the one to cast the stone
Why are you judging someone else
Your mumu is legendary
I never ever said he did not trespass all I said is for you to mind your business and stop trying to drag someone down
After your analysis now
Did that change anything,you people have bad and disgusting character and always find a way to pull someone higher than you down,the main reason Nigeria is not getting better, calm out your crook politician first who are rich because of looting of funds not someone who worked hard to earn his money beside am I d only one who condemned the stupid and senseless writeup
Pls use your brain stop writing like someone who has none

Ogbeni take it easy. I don't think there has ever been anyone in the history of the NYSC who came to camp with so much fanfare only to spit in their faces and go back home as quickly as he came. He shouldn't have gone at all. It was bad PR. He probably will never have to use the NYSC certificate in his life. Davido underlined why NYSC should be optional.

I didn't hear about it. The whole universe heard about Davido's episode.The ex-president's daughter doesn't wield as much power as Davido does. If Davido completed just the 3-week compulsory camp, it would have gone a long way to making sense

Plus she's more likely to use the certificate.
