NYSCLife After NYSC: Are We Prepared Or Just Discharged? by Benbellaz(op): 9:04am On Sep 12, 2025
Every year, thousands of young Nigerians march out of campgrounds, wearing white shirts and khaki uniforms with pride. They serve for one year, working in various capacities across different states, schools, hospitals, and offices. Then, just like that, it’s over. NYSC ends with a certificate in hand, some pictures with friends, and a farewell parade. But the real question lingers: are corps members truly prepared for life after NYSC — or are they simply discharged and left to figure things out?

The Harsh Reality After Passing Out
For many, passing out day feels like the beginning of something new. But within weeks, the reality sets in. The ₦77,000 allowance is gone. The daily routines of CDS, PPA, and wearing the khaki no longer exist. Suddenly, the job hunt begins. Some find themselves stuck at home, applying for endless positions with no feedback. Others battle the uncertainty of starting a business in an economy where capital is hard to raise.

As they navigate through this transition, many wonder what life after NYSC truly entails and how they can best prepare for the challenges ahead.

Too often, it feels like NYSC prepares us for service — but not for survival.

A System That Fills Time, Not Gaps
The NYSC program was built with the vision of national unity, and in some ways, it still serves that purpose. It helps people travel to states they might never have visited, experience new cultures, and make friends across divides. But in terms of career preparation? Many corps members are posted to fields far outside their courses of study. Teachers who have never studied education. Bank tellers who never studied finance. Office assistants who have never been trained for admin work.

The result? One year gone, with little direct contribution to building long-term career paths.

Are We Truly Equipped?
The bigger problem is that life after NYSC is not just about finding a job — it’s about finding direction. Yet, few corps members leave service with clear guidance on personal finance, entrepreneurship, or career development. The Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) program tries, but let’s be honest — how many people actually leave camp with marketable skills that can sustain them?

RomanceAre Women Really Bad At Apologising Even Though They’re Wrong? by Benbellaz(op): 8:21pm On Jul 15, 2021
Do men in relationships really have to apologise to women even when they are right, or that popular saying is just banter?

There’s a saying that a man need to apologise to his woman even when he is right. With that being said, it narrows down to a question ; ‘Are women really bad at apologising even though they’re wrong?’

Well, we know no one is perfect, love is not about perfection — so it shouldn’t be a big deal. It is more about navigating weaknesses and strengthening each other.

But during the process of attaining that perfect understanding, there will be times when you’ll likely get it wrong, at one point you’ll mess up, when some of your actions will hurt your partner and make them sad or unhappy.

Your willingness and readiness to apologise and your partner’s ability to forgive will be tested at this point, and this could determine whether your relationship continues and grow stronger or you breakup.
