Nysc is not a do or die, but is mandatory and its also a passport for getting a job.
Talking been posted to the war zone. Its not a problem at all. except one thing is done.
Director of NYSC MARY KOLAJO should be provide security from the departure point till the point of arrival and also she will also bethere through out the 3weeks exercise.
Another slution which is vital is that send the muslims that are notherners to the warzone so if they die we wont feel the impact.
In addition Kolajo mary should send her child there since she insisted that they should all resume then start redloyment process from there. they should set the examples and they should face the consequences.
Inconclusion. all those warzone corps members camp should be shut down till further notice, no corps should be sent to those staes and no one will get hurt.

Look at this last month the US ordered all its citizen to depart from Kenya cos there is risk of eminent attack on the port of Mombasa.As in jst one region forced them 2 do this cos no matter whatever u do u can't bring a dead person back to life. but this is Nigerian govt sending its own citizens to the most volatile region this shows the Nigerian government has no regard for human life.

This is gross insensitivity and wickedness on the part of government. As a group, all corpers posted to those troubled states should decline collectively and let's see how government will penalize all of them for not turning up. But as is typical of most of us, selfish and self-centred Nigerians, I'm sure some corpers who have 1 or 2 things to benefit must have reported to camps in those states already.....smh

We can never learn in this country,has the govt forgotten how the corpers were massacred in the north?i weep for Nigeria,things arent working.we need seriously prayers.

They should reject it with dir last blood.Service,my foot.

Threads like this are refreshing. It glaringly points out the naija hypocrisy in us. I recall the thread someone was asking if you'll ever "offer bribe" in any way and for any reason to aid your kids educational pursuit.my good friend said no, God forbid and guess what?the kid brother was posted to yola and she's gone to "settle" an officer for his redeployment to lagos.
@topic, none of my family or friends is serving anywhere in the north excluding Abuja.I would gladly "sort" to get him or her redeployed.

Somebody asked must you serve? The answer is No.
Somebody asked again how about getting job if you did not serve? the answer is how many fresh graduates have gotten job since 20yrs ago?
For the govt to send to war front:-Provide three months full military training to all
corpers.
Arm them with assult rifle eg.Ak47 or hand granede.
Pay borno corpers 100,000 naira a month.
pay yobe,bauchi,plateau,kaduna etc 75,000.00 a month.

Na one day sumtin new dey happen. Its true that not all the areas are affected. Before kano and kaduna was affected,we all thought it was save until it became one of the most critical area. Note: prevention is better than cure. So mr oga its better to avoid those areas like plague

My people have an adage that says if you are abandoned, dont abandon yourself. Government is literary plying go and die, but you can say I dont want to die. Reject the call up letter, you will be reposted by Nov.You can influence your posting with money. All NYSC staff are gullible. I was posted to Kaduna, my parents,siblings and well wishers said over their dead body will they let me go. If you are posted to these areas, reject the call up. Dont be so wicked to put your loved ones under tension for 365 days. Should you phone be out of network for 2days what will they be thinking. Maybe either of them would have developed hypertension before you come back. Remember all they would give your family is 500k.

Please what is the security situation in Adamawa state? My sis has been posted there, and my parents dont want her to go.

Obiagu1:

How can you get job in Nigeria without serving?

If none of the corp members posted to these states show up in camp, the government will know that they are serious. Useless NYSC!!!

The solution to dis is simple,let the indigenes of the affected states serve in their state if the govt.insist.

where are the gej muppets to defend this latest act of madness from the govt of the man who cannot fly to maiduguri?

We are our greatest enemy. Can u see all the people mentioned in d report? They are all southerners including the one insisting that they must report in the camp first before they are redeployed. This is what an hausa man will neva do to his brother/sister. For instance, the hausa people know BH people but they refuse to identify them.

This is an Outrage!!

Fellow Nigerians we cant sit and watch our govt sit and sentence our young Brains to untimely death.

How can a govt,who couldnt protect its own FORCE QUARTERS in abuja(citadel of power)protect/guarrantee or secure life and property of mere CORP Members posted to these security challenged states
(terrorist inhabited states).

Or will they train our corpers with life rounds or ammunition?

This our Government is totally confused,instead of reducing casualty rate by asking innocent people to flee and perform thorough cleansing,they are sending innocent young potential leaders.

This to me is a Clarion Call for all of us,we all need to protest via any social platform till it gets to the idiots making this collosal desicion.

Why send Christians to Kano?when the town ought to be declared a state of emergency

chuks49: Corps members posted to Yobe, Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Bornu and Bauchi states have asked the National Youth Service Corps to redeploy them from these trouble states.

The corps members, who expressed sadness as they received their call-up letters for the Batch B NYSC service year, said they were confused as they did not know what to do due to the spate of bombings and other forms of insecurity in these states.

Some of the corps members and their families, who expressed their worries on various social network sites including Facebook and Twitter, said they were extremely sad and disappointed when they received their call-up letters, deploying them to trouble states where there is currently curfew, threats of reprisals andcenseless bombings.

Some of the comments on the social network sites read, “We need to arise and stop the government from sentencing us and our loved ones to death. Is our government/NYSCthis heartless or simply inhumane? We seek our immediate redeployment, we want to live in places where wecan work with peace of mind.’’

Our correspondents learnt thatauthorities of the NYSC had also been under pressure from parents and prospective corps members posted to northern states, who had been seeking alternative posting.

Our Correspondent learnt in Abuja on Sunday that the NYSCwas already collaborating with the affected states on how to ensure security for the corps members posted to their states.

But speaking through the Borno State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Inuwa Bwala, in a telephone interview with our correspondent in Abuja on Sunday, the Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, made a casefor corps members to be posted to the state.

He argued that the security situation in the state was beingexaggerated by detractors to further isolate the state from the rest of the country.

He said, “While it is true that we have security challenges,(http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2012/03/02/nigeria-war-in-the-north-war-in-the-south/ , http://www.ngex.com/news/public/article.php?ArticleID=2177 , http://www.google.com.ng/search?q=war+in+north+nigeria&hl=en&biw=1024&bih=649&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&sei=ud7yT8rINaPO0QXB0P2vCQ&gbv=2&tbm=isch , http://aderinola./2012/01/23/the-war-in-northern-nigeria-boko-haram-detonates-20-bombs-in-kano/ , )it is a fact that these challenges are not exclusive to Borno State.

“[b]We don’t have on record any attack on visitors[/b]http://www.punchng.com/news/attackers-slit-seven-construction-workers-throats-in-maiduguri/ neither do we have any record of attacks on the NYSC camp or corps members posted to and currently serving in Borno State.”


http://www.punchng.com/news/outrage-as-nysc-posts-graduates-to-borno-others/

I would suggest the whole set of corpers refuse the whole exercise in solidarity to those posted to these deadly zones; and any right thinking Nigerian should support them on this. no one should support senseless posting of young innocent Nigerians to war fronts.

Nigeria is at war (FULL SCALE WAR) and the states in the north are the war fronts. truth must be told. this is not a mere security challenge. the so-called leaders have no courage to face a war hence, they call it security challenge, hundreds of innocent people are been massacred on daily and hourly basis while government keep on pretending all is well. even well trained police and other well equipped forces are being killed perpetually. Christians in many locations in the north have relocated from their God-given native lands, some to neighboring states and no one is doing anything on it.

The NYSC have not worked (at least going by the tribo-sectional tone of the Nairaland and other social media and politico-socio-cultural discourse). assuming it worked before, it is no longer relevant in Nigeria of today. if all other avenues did not unite Nigeria, then NYSC, as presently operated,can not unilaterally unite Nigeria. so what is its basis? it is long overdue for outright crapping, total reform or complete modification. it has outlived its usefulness if it ever had any.

i will suggest that outside my advice for a complete boycot of the NYSC program this time, those going on a suicide mission may venture to the north on so-called NYSC. the risk is too high for a normal person to take.

Finally remember that your life does not depend on NYSC; Your destiny is not teid to NYSC; why why the panic and anxiety?

Yomieluv: We can never learn in this country,has the govt forgotten how the corpers were massacred in the north?i weep for Nigeria,things arent working.we need serious prayers.

I am sorry, your leaders don't care. Their children are not part of the "poor masses". Life is cheap here!

salaksmana:
If you must look for job collect an exception letter, find an excuse maybe your health is not that sound or whatever.

it may not augur well for u in the long run if u take such step as it will b presumed that u are overage,n u know w@ labor market wants....

where are the civil societies? why can't we protest against this insensitivity by the govt? where is occupy nigeria when we really need dem

infact this people are useless......they shouldnt even think of posting any of the corps to the north at all. God go punish their papa.
