The DG is a reasonable man. there are ways and measures that can be put in place to protect them NYSC people. After all these are University graduates who can manage themselves and understand the severity of any action they do. Also the first level of education that should re open is the tertiary education because of the aforementioned reasons too.

I am a very strong supporter of black lives matter and I hate racism in all ramifications.................................... BUT when I sat back and watch the video in which Floyd was killed, something just tell me that in this whole murder episode, something is not just right..,......... If you watch carefully you will realize that the senior police officer intention & purposely wanted to kill Floyd, he press his knee on his neck and then relax there comfortably despite the plea from the junior officer to roll him (Floyd) over............................... And there was a person who video the whole episode without blinking and he wasn't even interrupted by any officer before and after the man's death and the camera man was not even hiding to film, but was right there in front of the policemen filming...................... And I just discovered that the policeman and Floyd were co-workers (as a bouncer).


I am not investigator or acted in that capacity before but something is fishy about this,, this might be more than racism, there might be a larger picture here ........................................... Come to think of it, this is an election time and this is a Democrat state with a state controlled police force.
We all know that Floyd had criminal past and he is a former porn star, a perfect foil and a perfect choice of target to kill a get away with by his friends/police officer........ And we also know that if you kill a black man live on camera, there will be a national racism protest,..... We also know that this is a time of pandemic and everyone is free and there will all be at home, no school, no work, job losses, unemployment etc a perfect foil for national protest and disaster...................... with all this points, I don't know what you feel oooooo, but I feel that there is a strong conspiracy here by politicians who carried out a perfect plan for 2020 election...... That senior policeman might be an agent sent to kill Floyd who happens to be an innocent sacrificial lamb to bring about national unrest,.... Believe me, the 3 junior officers are innocent, they are only be used by their Superior...... As for the camera person, he might be an agent i.e paid to video the incident or might not be an agent i.e an ordinary citizen who was freely allowed by senior policeman to video the incident, in order to post it online for the world to see.. believe me, America police that I know will collect cameras and phone from everyone videoing that incident especially as that man died.......... Let me ask this question, "of all the racist killing by police in America, which of the incidents was clearly video by anyone from A to Z with clean shot and posted online for the world to see?" ........... There is more to this than meet the eyes.

If I were Trump, I would have ordered FBI to take over that case for proper investigation......... Investigate the person that call the police, investigate that divisional police office and inspector, investigate the camera man and investigate the senior policeman.

All these linkages is not a coincidence

Our Darling Corpers,
When you eventually go back to your respective Camps,
Becareful Out There Guys.

Use your face mask always,
Wash your hands as often as possible.
Don't shake hands and hug people you have missed during the lockdown.
Take sanitizers with you when going out.
Use bleach to clean surfaces.
Practice social distancing.

With the social media agog in the last few days as regards the recommendations made by the Economic Sustainability Committee headed by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osibanjo that NYSC Orientation Camp be suspended for Twenty-Four (24) months, it poses a subject of serious concern to me.
No doubt, the recent scourge arising from the global outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has become a serious threat to human existence and as such we certainly require extraordinary measures to live in these times.
However, as a nation with its dominant population as youths we need to tread with caution on the proposed suspension of the Orientation Course which obviously from my personal experience has made the NYSC Scheme the most globally recognized, efficient, laudable, sustainable and impactful of the youth schemes/programs we can boast of as a Nation.
Reminiscing the excitement to which I looked forward to NYSC as a young graduate back in the days, I remember vividly that I was actually looking forward to the Orientation Course more than the service year itself. For me the fun of camping with other young graduates from all over the country for a period of three weeks, coupled with the stories of the paramilitary trainings had an ecstasy that tagged along it in my mind.
Beyond my expectations, I was purposefully and extensively trained during my NYSC Orientation camp with skills that did not only make me exceptional during my service year as I leveraged on them but has also helped me emerge the man I am today.


I make bold to say that of the four cardinal programs of the NYSC, the three weeks orientation course is the core of what National Service is all about. It is packaged to equip you physically and mentally with an all-inclusive components comprising of:
• Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Sessions to curb the deep threatening youth unemployment in our nation.
• Military drills for physical and mental discipline and to checkmate insecurity and support inadequate security manpower.
• Lectures on topical subjects and other necessary spheres required for national development to equip you with the requisite knowledge.
• Leadership and citizenship training to prepare youths for participation in decision making and crave for teamwork to ensure success.
• Sporting activities.
• Martial arts for self-defense, physical fitness exercise
• National consciousness and identity sessions to build more patriotic youths; disease control to enable them join hands with government in such a time as this; advocacy training that equips you with life skills, and above all young people cultivate friendly ties living together in a regimented environment and this gives way for social integration and make room for a level platform for peaceful existence and nation building.

The saying, it takes 21 days to build a habit became true for me as a determined young man who left the NYSC orientation camp completely revamped and prepared for life of excellence.
If government now decides to suspend orientation course of the NYSC; obviously it will be a complete incapacitation of youth development in our nation as the Orientation Course for me remains fundamental in achieving the ideals of the scheme. This may gradually become an overture to ignite our already existing challenge with youth restiveness in Nigeria.
Retrospectively, I remember as a graduate of Accounting, that my career paradigm shift emanated from the Orientation Course. I joined the SDG’s while on camp and was trained as an advocate for the Millennium Development Goals. It was there I realized that there was more to be given to humanity beyond the dream of being a banker clad in suit. I did not get the opportunity to serve in the bank as I desired because of NYSC posting policy but I was posted to an insurance firm.
I realized that this burning desire to work in the banking sector was soon consumed with the passion I developed in the course of my mentoring as an SDG volunteer. This totally turned around my career path as not only did I discover myself but I did so well in the advocacy and was immediately employed at the end of the service year by an international NGO. The job has taken me to over fifteen countries of the world.
I was also well involved in the social activities on camp and I merged as the Mr Macho for that Orientation Course. My appreciation goes to the sponsors of that event on camp that year as the opportunity exposed me to what you may call my side hustle today; modelling for clothing labels.
I am sure there are thousands of other Nigerians willing to tell their stories of how the NYSC Orientation Course remains pivotal in whatever success they attained today. In my opinion, we should be looking at safer ways of hosting Orientation Courses rather than egressing it out only to end up with a country where its youth also become its albatross.

A friend of mine currently serving with this 2020 Batch “A” Stream I corps members called me about two weeks ago to express her frustrations in line with the organizational ethics. Listening to the young lady speak, I could only discern a youth who was not properly oriented before releasing her to the work environment. I am certain this is the fate of hundreds of the 2020 Batch ‘A’ Stream I corps members that had their Orientation Course truncated because of the pandemic.
In light of the huge challenges facing both the young graduates and over-saturated labour market, the need for the Orientation Course cannot be over emphasized as what has over the years made a difference between success and failure for most Nigerian graduates is the training and preparation they underwent during their camping period.
