Nigeria peace corps ,please stop this charade. They keep referring USA having peace corps too but the peace
corps in USA is a voluntary program and not avenue to create employment for USA citizen.
I pity those gullible ppl like myself and other ppl that have already dolled out money to the Peace corps.
I think the peace corp should better continue as voluntary organization and keep collecting their 45k and above
for training etc.
You keep on selling recruitment forms and training ppl (in hundreds of thousands) and also promise them
employment,Now.it is the same commandant general of Nigeria Peace Corps that said that at the eventual assent
by PMB the ratio of commissioned officer to voluntary officer will be 20%-80% (20 for officers & 80 for
voluntary office). Just imagine!, and you have already promised employment to all ppl that have enrolled.
You keep hiding under the disguise of generating employment for the youth & you think PMB cant read between
the lines!, more so you keep selling recruitment form to older ppl (40yrs and above)...is a man of 40 years and
above still a youth??.
i will keep telling ppl that they should not pay any 5k for recruitment form or 45k for some phony training. when
the federal government takes over fully there wont be need to pay for training or to buy recruitment form. Note
that there are still other fees to be paid.
WHAT IS THE JOB OF PEACE CORP IN NIGERIA
1. to promote peace in Nigeria (like the other military/paramilitary outfits have been promoting war) cheesy
2. to engage 800,000 youths in meaningful employment (Nigeria army and navy combined don't have up to
600,000 officers) grin
3. to end insurgency (without arms. na juju dem wan use? ) grin
4. to curb cultism in secondary school and university. undecided
5. to curb exam malpractices. undecided
and most importantly for the officers to be getting paid by the fed govt. grin grin grin
see, the Peace corps don't have the interest of the country at heart, what they hungry for is SALARY!!! another
avenue to waste govt resources.
Again, Nigeria peace corps should stop this charade.
A word is enough for the wise

WOW

I m not totally against the establishment of peace corps and i didnt say the govt cant fund peace corps, only if it is done for the right reasons and just an avenue to create employment for the youth.
Will you have the govt to start creating phony ministries, parastatals, paramilitaries every now and then just to employ all youths? that is NOT possible. In my own opinion the govt should create an enabling environment (soft loans,infrastructure, power,laws etc) for youths to be self employed, govt cant possibly employ all youths.

The reasons for establishment being talked about by peace corp members are not just cogent enough I.E curbing exam malpractices, community service, neighborhood watch. Eventually if a brother is a beneficiary then its all good but i hope peace corp is established for the right reasons.
God bless Nigeria. God bless PMB.

Ennyforeal:
I really don't understand some people, just imagine ur brother is among those that got peace corp after it has been absorbed by the federal government will u say that it is not reasonable will u not be happy that @least ur brother has been gainfully employed? who says there is no money to found this organisation by the federal government when govt officials loot billions on daily basis? am not a member though but I wish it is assented to by the president let the youth @least get something even if little compared to how there children waste money on material things. youth are really suffering and I don't expect same youth to be against the. establishment of peace corp.q

Please tell them again.
Nigeria peace corp should never be institutionalized just to MANAGE youth unemployment, It is wrong. Yes, it may reduce unemployment of the youths for a while. That should not be the main reason for creating peace corp.
Were the NPF, Nigerian Army, Navy, FRSC etc created to cure youth unemployment?
Npower, YOUWIN and the likes are already in place for unemployed youths.

No B company 4 employment, na voluntary organization. Brethren job no dey.employ yasef.lolz

dont take this personal, mr peace corp obinna002. this is a public forum to share views and ideas, and that I just did.
You guys wasted my time, money and emotion in 2013 when I got trained. ever since we finished training, it's been bring this money, bring that money. I even did doc verification more than 3 times. there selling point was and still is that the fed govt will take over and start paying us salary.

Eventually my eyes opened and looked elsewhere for job, and to the glory of God I m now gainfully employed. had I waited for nigeria peace corp of corruption, then I will wait a long time just like you obinna002.
I have taken it upon myself to tell all those who care to listen what sort of a scam nigeria peace corp of corruption was and still is.
Now dont quote me again.

obinna002:
MR commandant I pray you will continue disputing and posting rubbish till 2028, maybe by then you will see what fraustration must have caused you, that's all I will say to you, please continue fooling yourself as your doing now.

Very good,You right.

leisuretym:
this peace corps is useless! we can not have police, army, navy , airforce, civil defence , civilian JTF, vigilante groups, and so on receiving salaries from tax payers money and you are still talking about peace corps,

INSTEAD OF HAVING "PEACE CORPS, why not AGRIC MARSHALLS OR AGRIC CORPS ??


we have so many university of Agriculture in Nigeria, training youth to be farmers and into other agric related field, why not employ many of these jobless youth who are the product of these university of agriculture and trained them as agric marshals ?? teach them how to fix tractors, operate tractors and inspect farms, help farmers with their knowledge to boost food production instead of useless peace corps?

you can reduce crime by making food available to the common man by using agric marshals instead of peace boys scout!!

obinna002:
Keep fooling yourself

Its is you that you should stop fooling unsuspecting nigerian youths. you cant dispute all facts I have mentioned, can you?

On a serious note,you sha want to be collecting salary and wearing uniform by force and by fire...lol

obinna002, I even doubt you are a youth. tell us una age?

What does APC have to do with this?

Truly APC has nothing to do with this and yet they have a whole lot to do. The APC govt should have put an end to this peace corp charade in Nigeria already. Or better still they should continue as a voluntary org, with this we will know how truly its members love Nigeria.

God bless Nigeria

Present I heard they are charging so much money to validate the existing members and issue them with a plastic ID cards and new certificates . I think the amount is about 100k per person.
What is the need to collect the old ID card and certificate from members and promise to replace it with new ones. How will the member prove that he/she was trained. I think the best option should be, let the old member submit photocopy of his/her ID/CERTIFICATE and when the new one is ready, he/she will present the old ones and collect the new ones. Collecting the old documents which is the evidence the person has as a member looks as if that is a way to sack some officers from the Organization now the government is about to sign the Bill. I support Peace Corps. Many countries has such including USA.

note that peace corps in usa is not paramilitary body.
it is also a voluntary program in usa
