aribisala0: No need to ask Professors they do not create Languages and a phrase or word exists the moment it has several subscribers. It might be annoying but it does "EXIST" and we need to we wary of the Colo Mentality that prescribes language being disseminated from the top down. Languages NEVER stand still and keep evolving.Take the word GAY for example it means something completely different today and those so called PROFESSORS had to surrender to the change.

Just as they resent What's up,What's cooking,popping etc those are all recognizable forms of greeting. Language is a servant not a Master and its users always change it to meet their needs. Even in the UK(the origin of English) there are phrases like "How am ya? How are youse(plural) which have their minority users and are VERY valid. English now no longer belongs to the English and nothing stops a population of 100 million plus charting their own course

By the way ,, How was ya last nite??

tlaret24: make u go hug transformer

wiegraf: These were not drills, the excuse was someone stole a ring. Maybe the ring was even lost, not stolen. For that all of them were dragged out for this. So, did they expect the thief to crack from the pressure of kneeling down? I doubt that, s/he was probably smiling inwardly through the episode. Just like the poster above who was happy he made all his friends suffer for him because he was selfishly inconsiderate. To prove my point about encouraging silly behavior someone quotes him then calls him a 'sharp guy'. Or maybe the soldiers reasoned that this punishment will prevent future thefts? If so, kindly show me how.

Disregarding the above, the whole thing is just silly. Even if you had to do this nysc thing for whatever reasons, if you treat people like animals, they will act like animals. What have they learned from this? What is all this supposed to do for them? You're telling me those professional yes men can teach them a thing or two? Like what, saying 'yessir'? Or becoming a zombie? Or harass a whole brigade because a ring went missing? Are we at war with anyone? What exactly has the nysc accomplished that we spend the little cash we have on this exercise? Teaching you how to suffer? It's by force to suffer now? If you enjoy suffering, good for you. I don't see why those that don't are forced to participate.

No worry, I go leave una for dis folly. Make I go do something productive

elampiro: Must they be made to knee and raise their hands under the sun? The early morning wake up time at 4.30 or 5.00 am for exercise is itself drilling. The jogging, then you go for marching and return for evening games. I am a sports person, these things (exercises) were normal to me. I really enjoyed camp. But if I may ask, how does this 'punishments' or drillings help for job hunt as you suggest? As for me, I wans't made to go through this things, yet I hustled a good job. I hustled my place of primary assignment myself, got a reposting and eventually retained there- in a bank.

elampiro: Please people should stop saying these things are normal. This is dehumanizing, and it is abnormal. It is a shame to the corp member who cannot complain about this to the coordinator and the press.

Never, never and never did I see one single person treated this way during my time. Not one, and I mean it. The soldiers are really having undue power these days and taking advantage of corp members.
