Your folks flocking to South West to congest our lands show you can't survive without Yorubas.. why should Yorubanization agenda then bother you, when you actually see Yorubas as gods you must live among to feel important.

We don't need much changes than this
If you agree please share some likes🤗
NYSC can have different sets of work/Utility (Khaki) and casual set of uniforms made up of local ethnic materials. There can be a range

I thought as much. Adire and Ankara are known with cultures from the South-West which is where the President is from.

Other parts of the country may feel sidelined because they have their indigenous clothing too that are made locally as well.

Lets thread slowly on this to avoid cultural divides.

The khaki NYSC have historically used can be made in Nigeria too. Its almost like saying Nigeria Police, Army,Airforce, Navy, Custom etc should start wearing Ankara to promote local manufacturing. It makes zero sense please.
Adire and Ankara are not exclusively yoruba patterns, Ankara is worn right across the country as an inexpensive material to make clothing.

I keep thanking God the Agbado sifu and his Daura President predecessor have both ruled this country because if they didn't we would have been hearing "he built lagos" and "he is not corrupt "
A clownish duo that can never be surpassed grin
As for this "minister"
To say I'm surprised by his ineptitude would mean I'm lying
Adire and Ankara in a country with many ethnic groups?
Smh grin

Show me a community where Ankara is not commonly worn as a casual material. BTW Ankara is not from the SW it was introduced to the SW at the time it was introduced to Nigeria however the nature of clothing styles in SW made it popular. SW culture dominates casual styles across Nigeria

Under a Yoruba President and Minister of Youth Development, NYSC uniform is to be Adire Fabrics. So, therefore, under an Hausa President and Minister, NYSC would be changed to traditional Hausa fabrics Luru, and under an Igbo President and Minister, it must be igbo Akwete fabrics.

But then Nigeria is not only Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa. There are over 250 other tribes in Nigeria, each with its traditional fabrics and dressing. We Niger Deltans insist wrapper must be incorporated into NYSC uniform also to avoid marginalisation.

What of the cap. Cap is a Western heritage. Caps do not represent cultural pride. The NYSC cap should be changed to Fìlà, or the Igbo tradition, Red-cap (Okpu Mmee). Why wear Adire without fìlà?
What then is the rational in changing NYSC uniform from Khaki to Adire? Is Adire more durable than Khaki? Is the uniform the problem with the NYSC scheme?

I was shocked at the reactions from some Yoruba haters over simple "adire" matter,. they turned the whole thing to tribalism.
Yet these are the people picking up forms in Lagos to contest elections in another region they didn't originate from, that one is not wicked tribalism to them o.

Walahi Yorubas dey fall hand too much.
I hope everything is good at home?

Thereby adding more costs? They should channel those costs to corps members welfare. They even said they want to remove the parades and military drills. Essentially turning the scheme to a vacation cruise.

So, because some people pick up forms in Lagos, we should all be yorubanised? Nigerian national culture, traditions and probably language should be replaced with that of Yoruba? Maybe we should also change the name from Nigeria (which is an English name that does not represent our culture to Oduduwa Republic, because many people picking up forms in Lagos to contest elections, while coming from another regions.

Yoruba gods?

The only southern tribe to have been conquered by the fulani.

Fxxxk off.....
Yes,Yorubas are your gods and you envy them because you know you cannot do without them.
A Yoruba man wrote and taught you how to read and write.
Even Ojukwu believed in Yorubas as the gods of your people when he chose Prof Aluko and Col Banjo over millions of you.
The jealousy and envy of Yorubas has become a sickness in your veins but still you cannot do without them to survive.
You have always been antagonistic to Yoruba since time immemorial but still, they have remain your gods with God's Mercy.
They tower over you like giants and there is nothing you can do except change your ill feelings toward them in order for you to move forward.

I think the current nysc outfit remains national and should be left like that. Govt can introduce reform to reflect the current reality but the uniform shouldn't be affected.

Yoruba people should understand that Presidency is no monarchy. All these will be undone by the time tilumbu leaves office.

There is no point changing the uniform. Any change will raise issues of neutrality and certainly be controversial.
