Good day everyone.

I am in my finals and in some months time i'll be a graduate. I have made arrangements to continue my Master's study in one of Canada's top universities immediately I am done with my Bachelor's degree.

Now I want to ask if it's compulsory I do NYSC first before I travel out next year or if I shouldn't serve at all.

Which brings the question that how useful is the NYSC certificate when applying for a job because I don't really plan to work in Nigeria. My plan is to conclude my Master's and settle down in Canada immediately thereby forfeiting NYSC.

My parents are objective, that I should serve first.

Please is it possible to do without the NYSC?... I've heard about struggles corpers go through and I am definitely not ready for that.

To serve nigeria is not by force...but,i will advice you go for it.you will meet new people,characters,nysc bobo,learn one or two things and make nigeria pay you for once.

It is not compulsory if you don’t intend staying and working in Nigeria.
But no one knows tomorrow. You can be given an opportunity later in the future to come and chop the National cake like Kemi Adeosun. Without the NYSC discharge certificate, there may be problem. Though if you know how to pipe your way in with “large cash”, anything is achievable

I understand you but this is an open window for me to study in Canada next year. If I miss it, I'm not sure I'll have that chance again in two years time.

I think I'll forfeit NYSC.. I just hope it won't have any sort of effect on my qualifications.

Wow, so you mean it's very much compulsory if I plan to work in Nigeria?

You can serve at anytime, so far your age is not yet 30years as at the time you finish schooling.

Anytime you feel like coming home in the future, you could decide to work it out with a top NYSC official and you get your certificate ready with a lot of cash anyway.

This is Nigeria where corruption is a powerful tool for the rich to get whatever they want
