NYSC Or Mandatory Military Service by Goahead(m): 11:42am On Dec 26, 2018
The Nigerian military has been enmeshed with numerous controversies on human rights abuses, ranging from using war grade .50 cal on unarmed protesters, to morally replehensive kind of torture to Nigerians they're supposed to be protecting. What more, you can't overtake them on the road without been punished!

In an unfortunate turn of an event, they're been killed like chickens in the hands of Boko haram and their number has greatly demished, so it is time to fill the gaps - recruitment.

The lazy youths this time, aren't buying the idea of joining the army because of the followings :-
i. The military image is badly dented that purchasing of modern hardwares is not viable; especially from the United States.
ii. The airforce which is the flagship branch of every armed forces around the world is a mess in Nigeria. Our airforce are still flying world War II fighters.

iii. Your death in active duty could be denied by the government, so no honorable burial. Simply put, Nigeria is not worth dying for.

Looking at all these, many are frowning on the idea of defending the nation. But, what if the government decides to bring the Israeli system of serving the country? Which is a 1 year mandatory military service after graduation. How does that go down with you?

No to mandatory military service as it will be used to wipe out graduates from the South who will be sent in their droves to the War zones of Yobe, Borno, Zamfara and Adamawa states.

None of the above

What nonsense
Mandatory military service can only work in homogeneous states or ethnic majority states like Israel or turkey... And not Nigeria where three ethnicities comprise 70% of the population.
And regarding NYSC, that rubbish should be scrapped!
