RepoMan007:
rthat 5k is three much for one person feeding. Can you finish bag of rice in a year?
Add oil, tomato and spices, wevare still under 150k. Yet you think that should be one month food alloweee

Johnycastro18:
80k to 100k should be OK..

But considering the kind of government we do have in this country, we know the won't likely do that,

Philip4564:
This NYSC nawa I swear my POP is on Friday transport fare to go home self I no get..

stanbright:

You want respect when you talk like a toddler
Do you know what it means to survive as a Corper in this economy now?
In cross river state, corpers pay almost 12k for clearance and CDS thumbprint from their alawee.If you don’t know what to say just keep quiet

Novarisammy2:
the highest a PPA can pay is 10k unless u re a medical personnel then u will be paid higher . some pay 5k without accommodation.

I spend 3200 monthly to transport myself for clearance. people hear 33k and they feel it's a huge amount but las las u barely savings

GO0DHardDick:


That's exactly what we're saying. Since the system is worst and bad, dude NYSC should be scrapped ASAP. It has since outlived its usefulness. It's a complete waste of time, energy and resources.

ShangTsung000:


At the end of the day,the pastor had #4500,while the so called church goers had #1050.
Shame on you fanatics.

shox:
The op is unreasonable with what he quoted as cm monthly spending. They use x2 or x3 of that. Most of the time with parent support

300 for morning food and you wan dey chop akara? Na only akara you go chop for morning?
Even 300 akara sef, E BE THINGS O

Fxwarrior:
Have you heard of Jesus corper? NCCF and other fellowships do have corpers lodge. You pay a token monthly of as small as #5000 for two times feeding plus accomodation which often comes with power and water supply.

TheRedpillguy:
Lost me at the tights, from there , I did not read further. The CM is not serious.

RepoMan007:
that's $27.

9k allowee ten years ago was $55. We don't spend dollar but using the stability of dollar to gauge hardship level irrespective of naira volume at hand, that 33k or 100k means nothing if after printing money and paying corpers more they can't afford what they used to.

Caesar25:
Na d tithe side I no come understand.
OP clear me abeg because man wey get vomit for mouth no de blow fire.
Daalu

ednut1:
Paying tithe from NYSC allowance is pure madness. Allowance is not salary

shoodboi2:
Your analysis get as e be. It's wrong to say the average Corp member receives 45 to 50k a month. The majority only have the 33k from the FG to live on. And this includes those in major cities.

I agree that the money is small but the 196k you're projecting is unrealistic. Even army lieutenants earn less, not to talk of Warrant officers and the NCOs.

You should know that NYSC is structured after the military, specifically the army. NYSC itself is the reserve component of the army. That's the point of the military-style drills, discipline, and regimentation.

Plus it appears that youth Corp members are considered as personnel below the rank of army privates.

A private earns 44 to 45k a month. So it's easier to convince the government to fix NYSC pay to that of a private or Lance Corporal than that of a lieutenant.

Obakoolex:
If the FG actually wants to support the youth, NYSC is a very good platform to achieve this.

If each corper can earn #50,000 monthly and FG help them save #100,000. Also, compell them to learn a skill in that one year, I believe at the end of the service year #1.2 million can set up any serious person.
Not everyone will be looking for a white collar or paid job anymore.

But this is Nigeria
I don't even think FG include NYSC in the #35k palliatives.....

Ttmedia:
at leats it will go a long way

Starboytwo:
Tithe for wetin infact if tithe see me him go pay.

First, if allawee enter, na to minus 10k pay Blessing(life saver) the provisions store girl who gat us. I'm a Lannister, I always pay debt.

The rest fizzle out after about 4-5 days. Pepper soup, Arizona, beer, Abacha and Subscription then we fall back to Blessings shop. (God bless that babe).

Theres something about being broke together in a group(group of 4) we give ourselves inspiration.

Charmingrascal:
Even Police no collect 193k. Just dey play, NYSC should be completely cancelled. Corp members are no longer safe and secured.
After wasting a year in one remote area they end up not getting a job.

Johnycastro18:

Those corpers are trying then.

Because 33k in this present economy is not sustainable at all.
an increment would do them alot more good.

RepoMan007:
Hmmm .. so elephants too dey serve their fatherland. 5k ko, pot of soup ni.

EKONGKING:
If wishes were horses,beggars would ride .

Remember the proverb .

A NYSC graduate wants 153,000 naira when a army soldier in sambisa forest gets 70000 naira

Continue .

slaawomirr:
Damnnn niggar

I do not support the scrapping of nysc

We all are glamouring for unity

Nysc wether you like it or not promotes unity among Nigerians

Xwizard:


It has outlived its usefulness bro

Xwizard:
Agreed
But NYSC should just be scrapped, na waste of funds and time

What do you think the fund federal government pay graduates is used for? Let me tell you.

Hi, my name is Williams. I am a Corp member (CM) currently serving. This makes what I want to tell you reasonable and important. At least I am in the system now.

If you don't know, NYSC pay all Corp members an allowance of 33k. Some CMs are furnate to received added allowance from their place of primary assignment (PPA): the place or organization in which they are assigned to work with.

I will be given a rough estimate based on my intuition, experience, and what I feel. An average CM in the country is receiving between 40-50k, plus the money from their PPA.

Now this may sound like a huge amount but wait let me break it down for you.

Just a side note: Most CMs have a common factor of the denominator that is responsible for the fractionationing of this 45k (40+50=90/2=45k).

Ready?

Let's go!

Here's the breakdown of every penny a CM receives.

#1. Tithe: definitely, not all CMs pay tithe. However, those that pay will eventually minus #4, 500 from their allowance.

Balance = #40, 500

#2. Transport: depending on your PPA, if you're a CM, you will subtract #400 daily for Tfare. This is so because most CMs now seek relocation to places that's more closer to their PPA.

To have a clearer picture, I suggest NYSC should add BioData form for new members should contain a box for CMs current Home address while in service. This will aid the availability of more useful and reliable data

Also, thanks to the NYSC for been considerate with the relocation processes.

Calculations: 400*2=800*3=2,400*4= 9,600

Balance: 40,500 - 9,600=#30,900

#3. NYSC Community developement service (CDS) : if your CDS is very close by, then you're luck. However, most locations for CDS are situated in far places in which corpers spend #150.

Calc. 150*2=300*4=#1, 200

Balance: 30,100-1,200= 28,900


#4. CDS Dues: yes, we pay an average of about 200-500 every month for CDS.

Average: 200+500=700/2=350.

Balance: #28, 900- 350=#28,550.


#5. CDS project: whenever your cds has a special project. You'll contribute an average #500 to support faun d raising.

Balance: 28,050


#6. Feeding: for an average 30 days, you will eat like a prisoner (#300/meal). Break, coke, akara and pap, et cetera.

Calc. 300*3=900*30=#27,000

Balance: #28, 050 - 27,000= #1, 050.


Thinking about other expensive the balance can fit in is hard for me.

I want to believe #1, 050 is what most CMs have left at the end of the month. This is not upto $1 today.


Things CMs need urgently:

1. Health allowance: I personally fell sick about 5 times since I reported to my new place. On average, I spent over #3k for each treatment.

3*5=#15,000 (let's assume every CM is like me).

2. Feeding allowance : corpers are not prisoners so they should eat well. At least 5k/per day for feeding.

5000*30=#150,000-27,000= #123,000


3. Emergency funds: this will be used to handle any unforseen situations that arises.

I suggest and estimate of 10-20k(an average of 15k).



Total fund NYSC allowance should be increased by: 15k +123k + 15k= 153k.


Projected NYSC alawee by this calculation : 153k + 45K= #198,000.


Cheers to all Corp members 🥂
