Father Bequeaths 37-year old NYSC ceremonial to daughter.

A lecturer in the Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu Alike (AE-FUNAI) Ebonyi State, Dr. Joseph Chukwu, has donated his 37 year-old NYSC T-Shirt to his daughter who is proceeding on National service within the week.

Dr Chukwu who is a lecturer in the Department of Mass Communication and the pioneer Public Relations Officer of the institution, said he reserved the uniform after his youth service in Otu, Iseyin local government area of old Oyo State for any of his future children.

He said the preservation was a way of reserving important historical landmarks which should not be destroyed and urged individuals and government to reserve important and ancient landmarks as artefacts for future generations.

Dr. Chukwu said he deserves a place in both the Guinness Book of Records and the NYSC Hall of Fame.

In her reaction, Miss Flora Chinaza Chukwu, expressed joy at the gift and described her father the best in world.

"I have known my father as an unparalleled archivist, adding that most of his secondary school books are well preserved in his big library in our house".

Miss Chukwu is a graduate of Criminology and Security Studies from Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu Alike (AE-FUNAI), Ebonyi State.

This man deserves an award from NYSC.

Ambassador of NYSC he should be inducted into NYSC foundation hall of fame

This man can manage our economy,37years his NYSC T-shirt is still sparkling white OMG ,if you soak some Nigerian girls bra and panties inside water the water will turn to lipton

It's a thing of joy to see your child grow in light especially with the distractions we encounter now.

Congratulations to the father and daughter. God knows I can't be this careful with stuff like clothes

Mine is neatly tucked away. Will bequeath same to my son when the time comes. That is if this entity called Nigeria is still in existence then.

That shirt is a symbol of Nigeria and the Nigeria of today is nothing to be proud of.

Corpers are passing out in their millions without jobs. It is almost impossible to move from point A to point B without fear of kidnap, whether by bandits, terrorists, herdsmen or unknown gun men.

High cost of goods and services and inflation in food prices. Even in their poverty, the masses are being taxed like slaves in a plantation, living like we are in a zoo nation.

There are far better gifts to give your child than the symbol of a country that has lost its glory.

Ask him the difference between Nigeria of today and that of 37 years ago. Things have seriously changed. In both good and bad ways.

I dey hustle shaa. Even if I do NYSC my children will never do that sheeeet.
