They should not try me oo ,now it's my turn the are considering this , it's not even funny...

Thanks. Let's see how it plays out but don't let's risk the lives of our dear people. But I support school feeding sha.

IME1:


Thank you too sir
But your reply brings me sad memories of how I stood in line waiting for food back then in camp only to be told mid way that food don finish.
Those who could afford it will go to mami market, for us
Well FG feeding me for 3 weeks has been the only time Nig Govt has,
People richer than me have been feeding fat from FG including this corona time, trust me many rich people are eating free palliative, 20k, N-power and all those schemes, some are even abroad just like it was in camp.

Remember that FG is also feeding some school children, some oh.

My brother you need to know how much estacode government at all levels spend! Mind bogging

For the part of social distancing, I agree with you, camp is a high risk area for covid19.

But as for saving costs I will never support government 'halving' civil servants salaries, stopping school feeding, NYSC camp feeding or other social amenities, they are helping people. There are a trillion other ways government can save money you and I know, we know, my dear we know, from them alone.

Did you see how much they budget for newspapers alone for Villa or the one for pesticides in 12 northern states?!

Let the step you say start from Apo, Aso, Judi and all the state Houses.
There are many people who eat well in camp and go back to 1-0-1 food ration after camp till pop until they hit good jobs.

"Osinbajo calls for suspension of NYSC for 2years" ❌ - FAKE NEWS!!!

*The Truth: Osinbajo's Economic Sustainability Committee calls for suspension of NYSC Camping for 2yrs in order to curb Covid19 infection further. Corps members would be transferred directly to their PPA ✔�

IME1:


I got start up capital
I made lifetime friends
I improved in my profession
I saw new places I won't ordinarily have gone to

When and where did you serve sir

eki2000:
You just commented as a fool. They are talking of posting PCMs direct to PPA to serve without passing through the normal Camp rituals. It doesn't mean they will not collect Alawee

Bla Bla Bla
Your parents no kukuma raise u well

Osinbanjo please don't shake this table, I have one semester left o.

this man is mad now that it is my time

cryptotech:


They may not pay tax, they pay indirect tax, which you don't know about, they provide cheap labor to the government and private sector... some sch in Nigeria have only one or two teachers, they use nysc members as support staff, instead of employing a full time workers, same with organization, industry, and public and private cooperation. The scheme only degrade professional to mere messenger and errands boys and girls all in the name of national integration, nysc cheap labour.

those schools are making money off the government and government funds it all

Kriss216:

It's better they go to camp and suspend PPA.

you and buhari tink alike no doubt.
of what use is the Nysc scheme without PPA?

tunize:

you and buhari tink alike no doubt.
of what use is the Nysc scheme without PPA?

You can insult me, but please, I beg you with the name of whatever you believe, don't bring my name and BUhari in the same sentence please.

nysc should be suspended totally

.

Kriss216:

You can insult me, but please, I beg you with the name of whatever you believe, don't bring my name and BUhari in the same sentence please.

That's better sef

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.
