NYSC › Re: Why I Want Nysc Scrapped by boay(op): 8:50am On Mar 08, 2017

kaysy:
OP u have a point but i wana let u know that the merits of NYSC far outweighs its demerits. besides u need to understand that the Nigerian Educational system was designed in a manner that u have to gain admission through JAMB then after graduation u obtain your certificate from NYSC, without which u will not be considered a graduate no matter the school's certificate u posses.

JAMB is the entry door to Nigeria's education system, NYSC is the exit door where u'll collect ur certificate.
All we should call for is a RESTRUCTURE of NYSC not SCRAP, if they scrap it, so many fake graduates will flood the market within a short time.

I am also displeased about thing call JAMB. We do things like a confused nation. The curricula of JAMB subjects are different from their corresponding SSCE curricula. The meaning is that our secondary schools are not preparing students who can fit into tertiary institutions after secondary school education. Then what is the whole essence of secondary school education?

NYSC › Why I Want Nysc Scrapped by boay(op): 8:59pm On Mar 06, 2017

Few months ago I graduated from a university here in Nigeria. Since then, I have been very much concern about what NYSC stands for. I developed a great dislike for the scheme, this is however not because I am above the age limit (even if a take another 5-year degree program I cannot be above the age limit for NYSC)
It is a norm in Nigeria for universities and polytechnics graduates who are below thirty (30) years of age to serve their fatherland. The reactions of graduates to this scheme are diverse. In this post I want to express my opinion on NYSC. Right from the moment it dawned on me that in the next few months/weeks I would leave the university, I developed a great dislike for the whole thing. The focus of many Nigerian youth after graduation is NYSC. This never appealed to me. In fact, I do not want to participate in the scheme. However, since it is compulsory, my options are limited. Below are some of the reasons for my desire not to participate in NYSC.

1. It is now purposeless: One of the purposes of the scheme is to strengthen national integration and cultural interaction. It was a strategy to rebuild the nation after the civil war. This is no longer being achieved. Graduates who are indigenes of Osun state can now serve in Oyo or Ondo state. Are we still in civil war? After how many years! This is crazy!

2. Loss of lives: Many corps members have lost their lives in the course of the scheme. Some lost their lives through election violence, community violence, civil unrest, and other social instabilities. Some died in road accidents while travelling to their PPA, to camp or when returning home.

3. It is a sheer waste of time: In my opinion it serves as a waste of time and resources. The whole year of one’s life into NYSC is a complete waste of time and national human resources. Many have told me that it is service to their fatherland, the question I asked them is that who are the people in business, corporate organizations et cetera serving? Are they not contributing to the development of Nigeria? So what is service to fatherland order than this? In as much as I am not ignorant of the fact that despite its unsuitability many have made something out of it, what I am peddling is that in the final analysis, NYSC has done and is doing more harm than good. Our leaders have not realize the importance of time and national human resource. I believe if they do, they will stop the scheme. Many cannot proceed to further studies because they’ve not participate in NYSC while their counterparts in other nations are making application for further studies even before the completion of their B.Sc programs.

4. Waste of national resources: The amount the federal government spend on a corps member is alarming. Each corps member is paid 19800 (a peanut) for twelve (12) months that is a total of ₦237,600. I heard the kits cost ₦80,000 per person, making ₦317600. Multiply this by 100,000 (assumed number of graduates in 2-3 years). The total is about ₦32billion. Now consider the grand total for the past 10 years. This is simply unthinkable. Can this enormous resources be used for something worthwhile?

5. An avenue for embezzlement: Many miscreants, charlatans and unscrupulous Nigerians are milking the national resources through this scheme. It should be scrapped.

6. Inhumane treatment of corps members: With the present state of the economy what is ₦19800? This is not a sufficient amount to live by monthly, does it mean that FG wants graduate to depend on their parents even after tertiary education?

Why You Need a Quantity Surveyor as a Developer

Many are not very farmiliar with the roles of a quantity surveyor and the benefits that would be theirs if they involve one in their projects.

1. Preliminary cost estimate: A quantity surveyor can give you an approximate cost of your proposed project from just the draft of the drawing when the full drawing is not available or ready. This would help to forestall abandonment of project, ensure adequate review of one's taste, promote adequate cash flow planning, determination of construction and contractual procedure et cetera

Education › Some Irregularities In Nigerian Education Policy by boay(op): 12:40am On Aug 04, 2014*

boay: In my opinion about some things in my country vis-a-vis the Education sector, I think so many things are TOTALLY WRONG. But the crux of the matter is that, despite this some are TOO ABSURD.

These are too glaring and evident for any of our paliarmentarians to claim oblivion *well majority of them studied oversea and have they children do the same*

Here are few things that I have scribbled for so long on my mind.

1. Accounting (The profession of an accountant) and ICAN.

It is disheartening to me that gradually accounting as a profession is losing it value and uniqueness. Youth with Degree in accounting 'are now nothing' until they are ICAN- certified and this same ICAN certification is what anyone from any field can come to obtain within few months or years. I have an undergraduate friend; a science student, studying a science- related course who will soon become a Chartered accountant. There are also other students whose field are not related to accounting who are ICAN certified. Is this not posing a threat to the profession called accounting? Are youths with degrees in accounting not at detriment? What then is the point of studying accounting in the university for 4 years if some from other fields with ICAN certification would be judge better despite my degree? Is that profession not getting 'congested' at the detriment of those who are really in that field? I know it is very good to diversify and explore other fields as situation demands, but I think that of ICAN is getting to the extreme. I believe it can be administered better with caution

2. SSCE and UTME.
Our SSCE syllabus is different from that of UTME. Doesn't portray that chaps from secondary schools as not well equipped for tertiary education? I think the 2 syllabi should be the same so that school leavers are ready for UTME as soon as they graduate from secondary school.

3. Professional Competence.

Disciplines in Health Science and Pharmacy used to have graduate from universities inducted into their professions immediately after graduation. Why cant all other professional disciplines be like that? Why should graduates of Civil Engineering, Quantity Surveying, Architecture, Chemical Engineering, etc have to write professional exams before being inducted into their professions some years after graduation. Cant we incorporate everything to the undergraduate workload? Are we not alluding that our tertiary education cant prepare or equip them well to become professionals in their respective fields forthwith upon graduation?
