Please explain to me how wearing a green khaki jacket, a green khaki pair of trousers and a white T shirt can be counted as one of Life's major achievements?

You can't for others though. They are actually people that see it as an achievement because you don't does not make you any better.

Insecurity isn't enough reason because copers are not the prime target of kidnappers
..
Everyone is being kidnapped everyday irrespective of class, religion ,state of origin...and the list is endless...even if a coper is kidnapped tomorrow ..I will still not say it should be scrapped because they are equally part of the larger society risked of being kidnapped.... So what then is the point...scraping it won't make fresh graduates more safer...are they not going to move around their states also prone to kidnappers and wont they still eventually travel for greener pasture or u think all the state are the same in job opportunities

The only time I would say it should be suspended is when copers become a prime target ..I don't see DAT happening Cuz there is nothing exclusive about them....
Are soilders, police men and civil servants not being kidnapped on a daily basis cuz of insercurity....y not say we should scrap them all....school kids are being kidnapped more than ever in this country....y didnt u say schools should be scraped ...as of today..everyone is a target...so deal with the problem not put up unnecessary things to avoid it cuz they will still take another form to attack u or anyone else..

Some people even said bad roads is a reason y it should be scrapped... As if nysc is the only reason graduates will eventually leave their state. Or maybe they have seen graduates who who spent his or her entire life in one state

So we have to wait till all Corp members are kidnapped?

Even though there is risk of Insecurity , I still believe NYSC shouldn't be scrapped.
The perceptions and lack of knowledge about other regions in this country is grossly under estimated. Alot of people of people grow up to believe what the media and their surroundings have fed them over the years about people from other places.
During my NYSC days, I experienced serious stereotypes from graduates about where I come from and was Highly embarrassed that graduates don't even know basic things about places and other people's culture. What my ears heard those days, embarrassing is even an understatement.
Even here in Nairaland, you still see and hear such stereotypes.

Stop sweating, if there were any gains of NYSC since the past 40 years, buharri erased them all in 6 short years.

Students shouldn't be sent to war zones where they will be kidnapped in the north.

First if we know that EDUCATION is an art of learning that improves life at the expense of another man ( the ignorant). Then why debate over the existence of NYSC. Those in support of NYSC needs to know that going to school you need a good turn out of ignorants to achieve that education you acquired. Black man - education should be to improve another man’s life at your own expense.

Where is the poll conducted, I guess it was done by the same idiots benefiting from the NYSC scam scheme, what rubbish, which adults that doesn't know their right from their left is voting rubbish.


Eventhough data don't lie, fraudulent researchers do falsify data to suit their narratives.
That said, there are many loopholes in this study.

First, nothing was said about the inclusion criteria, the target population and the total number of respondents.
How representative of almost 200million nigerians were they?
Was the study and its process popular among Nigerians?
How were the repsondents recruited?
What percentages of the total participants were from respective geopolitical zones?
How much were major items or repsondents prioritised?
For instance,the responses of former corp members should have carried more weights than any other group of respondents.

Second, the data signalled at a very interesting fact, perhaps the researchers did not pick this or just ignored it for reasons known to this. Shown in the data is a huge disparity in between former Corp members and people yet to serve. That difference tells much about the idea this study hopes to pus and the reality that abound.

Third, northern geopolitical zones that nod to the continuation of the scheme know that that is the surest and easiest way to have a constant supply of educated southerners on paltry salaries, without having to pay hugely for regular employments. To them, 'national integration' is secondary. If corp members were to serve in their respective states today, many people routing for NYSC right now would call for its scrapping.

We need more objective studies that will see through former corp members' views, especially those that served within the last 10 years.
Would they wish to serve once again if nysc was voluntary?
What if no stipends were involved?
How did the program shape their concepts of Nigeria and their views of other Nigerians?
How was their personal lives impacted after the one year compulsory program?

That will trigger a more reasonable conclusion that this study has made.

NYSC is a scam!! Youths should just be paid the half of d money from camp feeding & uniform sewing. Then thier full NYSC allowee for d 12 month. Am sure it will be almost a million naira. it's enough to start a business.

There is no unity bullshyt, all it does is turns like 70% of d girls involved into oloshos starting from d camp days


Remember, if kidnappers nab coper NYSC said they should contact their parents & relatives. Not NYSC

Well you could say this because of the weak laws in the country plus citizens poor knowledge of their rights.
The moment a youth is enrolled into the Corp, he automatically becomes a property and responsibility of the FG. Failure of the FG to hand over the Corp member back to his parents safely after the scheme is trouble for them. They know this, that's why they don't allow Corp members travel out of the state till the end of the program.

But here, nysc could even boldly declare they will not pay ransom if a Corp member is kidnapped and nobody is asking questions. If these guys have been made to battle with legal suits right and centre, they would have sit up

Who's sweating, I just told you the facts? I'm not sending anyone and nobody is forced to participate in the scheme. I dont even care for it my self even if it's safe. Its waste of time and money. People should just raise there kids better and travel and experience Nigeria on your own dime.
don't just open your mouth and talk like a senseless fowl, how many Nigerians have the opportunity to travel out of the country? The scheme is a better way of training the Nigerian youth, just that some people underground has bastardized the whole thing. How can you travel out of your country without having any experience, majority of those travelling without purpose end being a bandit, cyber crime and criminals.

I never said I was better. But if the majority can call a spade a spade then Nigeria would be a better place. I did my youth service over 15 years ago.

In hindsight it offered little to me... just a waste of my time. Now, even going for youth service is even DANGEROUS!

Yet people don't see anything wrong in it. Some pertinent facts to note;

1. It adds little - if anything at all - to your work experience (you will be working in whatever shit hole you find yourself in for barely a year). A prospective applicant who worked in an establishment for a year shouldn't be fronting that fact at the top of his resume.

2. Although it is mandatory the one year does not invalidate your degree

3. The corper is usually cheated in terms of wages and other entitlements (*** read that as "the corper is usually used like a rag with little reward)

4. Of what use are the physical drills that corpers are subjected to (while in camp) beneficial to them in the labour market?? Remember the female corper who was bathed in muddy water by a female military personnel?

5. Most times after the service year, most corpers are left unemployed.

This is not 1973. Times have changed, but people have refused to change with the times.

How many of our leaders went for service?? . Yet they subject you through the ordeal.

Our youths are not soldiers or paramilitary personnel that you will be maltreating and issuing blanket orders to.

MAKE NYSC OPTIONAL AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL WILLINGLY GO AND WASTE ONE YEAR OF THEIR LIFE FOR SUCH RUBBISH.

I weep when I see graduates being humiliated by people with only first school leaving certificate (highest ordinary WAEC) all in the name of NYSC.

Nigeria will never get better. That is how we lose great minds because of retrogressive policies from 40 years ago.

A survey conducted amongst 1000 people is enough to determine what 150 million people are thinking?

I still remember the family members who died in 2011 after the dullard's supporters started slaughtering youth corpers because he didn't win the election that year.


I don't know which is greater: Your lack of principles or your lack of intelligence.


Lol I don't understand why you clowns don't understand how survey and stats are taken. Most survey don't use over 10k persons to gauge the opinions of any country. Its like saying you need to remove all your blood to figure out if its whats in it. Statisticians simply make sure the sample is varied enough to avoid biased over sampling.

Theunbothered:


This is a lie, Nigeria has 200 million people and they used a sample size of just 1000?

How do we even know the 1000 aren't NYSC employees or their family members?

This is why I don't trust most statistics coming out of the government.

They told you the survey methodology and a NOIPOLLS is a private organization. If it were all the same type of person the survey would be very biased. Most survey don't use over 10k persons to gauge the opinions of any country. Its like saying you need to remove all your blood to figure out if its whats in it.

Why are you rambling like mumu thats never heard of trains, busses and cars. If you want to travel the country its simple enough even if you're too poor for a plane ticket. NYSC was created to travel out the country so that point is irrelevant.

It is optional as far as I can tell. I can't find the law mandating it. Lastly a high court ruling already said it not required for public employment office so why for private employment?

We have a problem with interpreting the law in this country... I guess that is why we are a lawless country.

I am aware of the court verdict in Kemi Adeosun's case.

Yet many establishments (till today) reject applicants based on youth service issues.

I am waiting for the day somebody sues them for discrimination... if such a day will ever come.

Elaborate on the problem with interpreting laws. I think the issue is most people don't bother challenging these rules to begin with. Is the ruling about NYSC not being mandatory wrong? Seriously I haven't seen anyone cite specifically where it says you have to.

I dont know if discrimination suit will be a winning case since private corporations are allowed to discriminate between candidates with a few exceptions. The court should just answer is NYSC mandatory yes or no.

So inter state road death that has occurred and still occurring /is was also caused by NYSC?
