No, as the name implies yourth service corps is a scheme that enable young Nigerian gratude know their worth in reaching out to people of different earthnicity,religion and socail cutural belive inother for them to have gainful experience by learning the norm and culture of the people.So in other not to waste too much of time I believe NYSC is as important as going to school itself and it promote unity,bounds, love and togetherness of people of different believes coming together as one in the society at large.
NYSC is the one good thing happening right now.graduate are finding it hard to get job right now.and NYSC offer graduate work for at least a year.most beig teaching jobs.although most schools are taking advantage of the corps members.but if you are smart enough hard working.NYSC can be means to a better future for you.trust i say Nigerian graduate will suffer more with out it
Nysc should not be scrapped the scheme has been a huge blessing to as many corp members who were deployed to various states of the federation.. Many have gone to establish themselves in those states and the scheme has also helped a lot meet their daily needs through the monthly allowance given by the FGN.. So the program should not be scrapped..
Nysc should not be scrapped, the scheme in a way has help corp members actualize their dreams and aspirations in the various statesof deployment, many have left their comfort zone to another place and have great impact, some have gone to establish themselves there.. It has also helped some meet their needs based on the monthly allowance given by the FGN.. I believe nysc shouldn’t be scrapped
No, I don’t think NYSC should be scrapped with my own point of mine it enable most Nigeria youth to know what they have not been doing in there own state which other state are doing moreover all Nigeria youth supposed to know that it is compulsory to serve our land even by serving our land we can also meet someone that will connect us to our helper and all Nigeria youth should have this at the back of there mind that will need to serve our land for better for good
Nysc shouldn’t be scrapped at all, instead it should be a bed rock to unite our great country…. Nysc is playing a great role in our country… Having a Hausa man serve in my community, wow that’s great, so also an igbo man serving in Hausa community, that’s unity in diaspora. Please I beg our Government to take NYSC as serious as anything..God bless us all……
I am Obodo Clinton Obinna, I feel the NYSC PRogram should be Scrapped because with obvious facts there are no concrete plans or efficient structure for we the youths. For instance, the year 2019 corpers from all federations were involved in the 2019 Elections up till date about 55% of those hardworking corpers haven’t been paid for their services as promised and till Date we lost some promising corp members while serving their father’s land till date, no one has gone or even done proper follow up of the disaster. Also, till date some of us our Arrears have been paid after the minimum wage upgrade, so with all this I ask myself are we “LEADERS OF TOMORROW OR ” SLAVES BEGGING TO SEE TOMORROW “. With this I’ll suggest after ones tertiary program it’s better you learn a trade or skill which I advice to have been developed before graduating, so as to help your financial status quo or become self employed legitimately instead of going to serve a country where our Elders does not give a concern to your Welfare,contribution etc. My simple view though thank you TEAM NYSC.
Nysc should be scrap because it serve as a waisting of time for the Nigerian graduate
So far so good the nysc has been a program that has served great purpose in teaching the Nigerian youths on how to be self dependant and encourages them to aquire skills for self employment and the nysc also help develop common ties among the Nigerian youths and promote national and so cial unity. So It will not be good for such program to be scrapped, thank you
Nysc should not be scrapped because Nysc is a scheme established in 1973 by the then Head of state, Gen.Yakubu Gowon (rtd) after the civil war in 1968 to reconstruct, reconcile,rebuild and to unite Nigerians.
Nysc has helped so many youths in building a solid foundation of their future, it has helped in breeding entrepreneurship spirit in our youths through SAED program,it has helped youths in moving from there various locations to other parts of the country and in discovering opportunities at the process..
Nysc should be protected and preserved since it objective was the promotion of national unity which was fulfilling.
Nysc should not be abolished but government should look at it’s chanllenges in order to put it right.
Good evening sir, NYSC should not be scrapped, because of the following reasons of mine,1: it promote national unity, through it the youth are being exposed to other cultures and tradion, interstate marriage is also promoted through it, through NYSC I was able to manage a class room,& now I can teach well, please my opinion is that NYSC should continue, thank you.
NYSC shouldn’t be scrab because it help others to learn different culture and way of life it also prepare one ahead challenges.
NYSC should not be scrapped because among many things that is wrong with Nigeria.
NYSC is the one good thing happening right no. Graduates are finding it hard to get jobs right now and NYSC offers graduate jobs.
Although most schools are taking corp memorial granted, but if you’re smart enough,hard working and with lots of good luck and God’s mercy NYSC can be a means to a better future for you. I’m not saying that everything is perfect about the NYSCscheme, but trust me when I say Nigerian youth would suffer more without it. NYSC is a life saver please
NYSC should not be scrapped. It has a lot of benefits, it’s a scheme where a lot of hidden skills are developed. It facilitate and widens one’s view of life!
NYSC shouldn’t be scrap because it inculcate the spirit of selflessness commitment to a community and bring one closer to each other’s as a brother, no matter your tribe or religion.
In my own perspective, Nysc should not be scrapped because it gives room for unity among the youths and also helps the youths to earn money and start up their own business without waiting for the white kola job. It also helps to know other people’s culture. So I love to serve my father land.
No,because nysc is a stepping stone to any civic job.not only that,it also an opportunity for young graduate to achieve their aims.for instance, i finished my nysc 2018, am I could used the money Isaved to lease a cocoa farm.this means that in one way or the other,have used nysc to achieve my plan
The National Youth Service Corps was founded to ceil the rift of the Nigerian Civil War between 1967–1970 in which it was recorded that millions of people lost their lives. It was initiated to foster unity among Nigerians and to promote service to the nation. The conception and founding of the corps was purely on unity.
But, after existing for more than forty years, some stakeholders have begin to call for the scrapping of the scheme. The government on the other side of the divide has refused to these discordant and variant calls for the following reasons ;
Credible Elections – The members of the scheme are seen as largely impartial, intellectually equipped to consolidate and extend the Nigerian democratic frontiers with little or no training which they have done credibly well since 2011.
Change Agents – Corps members are purveyor belt for development, behavioral change and nation – building. They can be found in the 774 Local Government Areas of Nigeria where they are serving the nation in all the sectors of the economy. They drive the economy through their unquantifiable contributions to the small and medium scale enterprises while the larger market is not left aside.
Education – Apart from election duties, the corps members help in the administration of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Exam, where they see to the successful conducts of examinations. They have also augmented the dwindling number of teachers nationwide where the profession is seen as not lucrative. This is aside the health sector, where the consultants are being harvested by foreign countries where they are paid heavily. Corps members are standing in the gap.
Reduction of Unemployment – While in service, the government pay corps members a paltry sum of 20,000 monthly as stipend. This is aside the money being paid to some by the organization they work for. Though, this money is small in comparison to the service they are expected to render as graduates, it goes a long way to keep youths from societal vices by keeping them busy hence, the government spends less on security unlike when such doesn’t exist, the government will have to spend three times the money they are spending now on NYSC to combat crime. As the Nigerian population is growing outrageously geometrical daily, the NYSC smothers the harm that usually befall a population that’s not planned for by giving the Nigerian youths a respite and nurse them to discover themselves on time before they could think of going criminal.
Exposure- Graduates posted to the States of the Federation are exposed to the diversities and cultural differences strappings that uphold the nation which promotes unity and a whole lot more.
NYSC should not be scrapped. It should be sustained because I believe every young Nigerian need to experience as I did that Nigeria people are wonderful and accommodating to other tribes even when our local vicinity taught us otherwise. Personally, even as an Igbo Christian, I’ve met amazing Hausa Moslem who are my friends now without any rancur so far and I have no fear of going to the north. Without NYSC, this wouldn’t have been possible.
Finally, it gives most Nigerian youths their first Job experience and train them to answer and report to an authority. This prepares them for the larger labour market.
Yes! the scheme shouldn’t be scrapped because, the purpose of the scheme is primarily to inculcate in Nigeria youths the spirit of selfless services to the community, and to emphasize the spirit of oneness and brotherhood of all Nigerians, irrespective of culture and social background. Which has been helping the Nigeria youth in nysc program in general.
Insecurity: With rising insecurity in various parts of the country. Boko Haram activities in the northern Nigeria (especially in the Northeast), rising cases of ritual killings in the Southwest and kidnapping cases in the south. South and southeast of the country.NYSC programme is no longer a safe practice considering the fact that innocent, naive youth graduates are deployed to communities and regions they know nothing about, which increases the chances of them being hurt for the one (1) year period of NYSC.
If it is scrabbed, there will b no cause for alarm..
What is the essence of serving the country under a false sensation.. Right from childhood,we have been serving her.
After graduation, live the life that you have always wanted, not the country that will always use and dump ypu..Lets call a spade a spade..
“Die home is better than die outside”
Nysc shouldn’t be scrapped because its help people in starting business and its help to relate with different tribe.
In my own view NYSC should not be scrapped with the reasons below
1. It creates room for skill acquisition(SAED) which I am a living witness we all know that there is no employment in this country but with the help of the skills acquired one can start up something and not depends on government for jobs
2. It creates room for oneness by coming together of people from different tribes
3. The experience people get in their various place of primary assignment which helps in preparing them for future reference
4. It also creates room for marital settlement
The genuine intention of NYSC is very great and commendable. Although, the abnormalities in this country have never allowed the scheme to exhibit properly.if should be reviewed and not scrapped. God bless you all
God bless the admin of this wonderful group. I love you. Keep up the good works and remain blessed.
NYSC info help alot I always follow their news and information been given because it’s direct from NYSC and I will give advice to continue with the true news and information to prompt it to the best and number one news broadcaster
I Oladele Oladimeji Sheriff from my own perspective nysc cannot be scrapped because it develop in Nigeria youths the attitudes of mind, acquired through shared experience and suitable training, which will make them amenable to mobilisation in the national interest.
THE COMPULSORY NYSC SCHEME SHOULD NOT BE SCRAPPED.THE NYSC SCHEME IS A NATIONAL HERITAGE AND A SYMBOL OF NIGERIA’S UNITY.
THE SCHEME WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1973 BY THE THEN HEAD OF STATE GEN.YAKUBU GOWON(RTD) IN A BID TO RECONSTRUCT, RECONCILE AND REBUILD THE COUNTRY AFTER THE NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR.
THE SCHEME WHICH IS SET UP BY DECREE NO 24 OF MAY 22,1973 SEEKS THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMON TIES AMONG NIGERIAN YOUTHS AND THE PROMOTION OF NATIONAL UNITY.
THE NYSC SCHEME SHOULD BE PROTECED AND PRESERVED SINCE ITS OBJECTIVE WAS TO PROMOTE NATIONAL UNITY AMONG NIGERIA’S WHICH IT WAS FULFILLING.
THE NYSC SCHEME IS FULFILLING ITS MANDATE AND NOTHING SHOULD HAMPER ITS OPERATION,IF ANYTHING IT MUST BE GUARDED JEALOUSLY.
THE SCHEME WAS SET UP TO ACHIEVE A TARGET OF FOSTERING UNITY AMONG THE ETHNIC TRIBES IN NIGERIA WHICH IT HAS BEEN PERFORMING TO A LARGE EXTENT.
I WILL NOT IN ANYWAY SUPPORT ITS SCRAPPING BECAUSE ASIDE THAT OF UNITY,IT ALSO HELPS THE YOUTH TO TRAVEL TO OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
ORDINARILY SOME OF THE YOUTH WOULDN’T HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL TO THOSE PLACES,SAVE THE SCHEME.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY,IT ENABLES YOUTHS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER IN RESPECTIVE OF YOUR ETHICS/TRIBES/CULTURE
THANKS GOD BLESS ALL
Yes, it will be happening, if you see the programme, it have less benefit and consumed more money and government tired and this covid 19 will post government to scrapped it to some years.
NYSC shouldn’t be scrabbled. In my own opinion, NYSC is a scheme that brings the youth together (different tribes etc), it gives us the hope that there is a better Nigeria. Hence, the NYSC has given a greater opportunity to youth learn, unlearn and relearn, the youth are given to expression and a lively hope.
Nysc should not be scrapped because it contribute to the life of corps member majorly after service by the skill acquisition program they have acquired in the camp. It prepare them for the life after service.thanks
Nysc shouldn’t be scrapped but should be improved upon because that’s one of the pillar still holding this great country of ours together. It helps graduates of different tribes to mingle together; learn different ethic language’s and culture as long as your a graduate nysc doesn’t mind if you graduated with Bsc or HND everyone is seen equally in camp for the harmony of peace unity and progress of the country on this note I will say that scraping out nysc will give room for proper division of the country which will end up causing more harm to the people than good especially graduates
Nysc should not be scrapped because it contribute to the life of corps member majorly after service by the skill acquisition program they have acquired in the camp. It prepare them for the life after service.thanjs
SIMPLE ANSWER NO.
In my opinion, I don’t think NYSC should be scrapped because it provide an avenue for the youths that’s the graduate to be expose to the culture of the three major ethnic groups/ three distign culture in the country.
It’s also provide a good avenue for some graduate to be employed at there place of primary assignment at the end of their service.
So this few points I mentioned I don’t think NYSC should be scrapped with following reasons mentioned above.
Thanks
Alfred Sunday
No, it should not be scraped, because every Nigerian youth that has an opportunity to attend the Nigerian or other country university would have knowledge to impact to the Nation, Thanks.
God bless the initiator of this group, this group has really been helpful as am able to give my friends breaking news even before they hear or see it from somewhere else. God bless u and more knowledge
The amount one thousand for giveaway is too small, atleast give back to society that so much gives and still giving you😳😳😳
Absolutely No! At least not as at this time. I’ll give my reasons below.
Among many things that’s wrong in Nigeria, don’t let me even get started on that, NYSC is the one good thing happening right now, and NYSC offers graduates jobs for at least a year albeit most being teaching jobs. Although most schools are taking advantage of the corps member, but if you’re smart enough, hard working and with an iota of good luck and God’s Mercy, NYSC can be a means to a better future for you. Am not saying that everything is perfect about the NYSC Scheme, but trust me when I say Nigerian graduates will suffer more without it.
Until every sector of the country starts making sense and good and gainful employments are available, why should a source of income be thrown away without a viable alternative? Wisdom dictates that you settle down for something till something better comes along. For hundreds of thousands of youths that graduates yearly from Nigerian institutions with no hope of a job after finishing school, NYSC is a life saver!
No! it shouldn’t because it promotes peace and unity of the country and economic growth system from the new theoretical framework learned in school
Good my brother
Nysc shouldn’t be scrapped. Reasons been that it helps people to know about other tribe, people’s cultures. Secondly in our country today we lack employment opportunities, many who have undergone this program have been able to save some money from the little allowances they’ve been receiving.and as such they were able to start a small business which is keeping them going. While they are still scanning for job. In this case I think scrapping nysc will do more harm than good to our graduate thanks.
Before I make my suggestion what is the meaning of NYSc. National youth service Corp indeed what is Nigeria most bigest problem National unity if NYSc is scrape tell me what makes Nigeria a unity state for the common reason for peace and unity I strongly said NYSc should not be scrape
Nysc was created with a view of harmonizing the youths, and creating a sense of responsibility in them, and also a way of bridging the gap created by ethnicity, and ensuring the stability of “one nigeria”. But that has not been the case lately. I believe that the scheme should be completely reformed to address the relevance of the youth even after service.
1. The issue of posting should be addressed because nigeria labour market have upped their conditions, and this scheme should help equip youths with skills needed for the world of work, rather than posting youths in institutions outside their specialization.
2. The saed program should be properly reviewed with stakeholders.
3. The scheme should consistently be reviewed so as to be abreast changes in the society, there should be dynamism.
4. There should be money set aside as a kind of support for outgoing corp members to help them establish themselves to certain extent
Youths are assets to the growth of any nation. With a reform in the scheme, the youths will gain relevance, and country will thrive.
God bless Nigeria
Nysc should not be scrapped because it helps the youth financial,atleast it still the allowance given still fill some space
Nysc should not be scrapped because
1- it enable the youth to learn about different cultures language and environment
2- it make a corper to develop themselves academically
3- it makes the youth to boost their Cv
4- it makes youth to connect with different people thereby making them to secure employment, some of them
even found their life partner during service year for this reason nysc should not be abolish.
it should not be scrapped because it helps youth (corp members) To save up enough fund to start up a business after service,Help youths to become Entrepreneurs and also reduce the rate of unemployment in Nigeria. Thank you
In my own opinion, NYSC is the best thing The government has ever did in an attempt to fight ethnic crisis and regional barrier. Not to talk of the impact corpers make especially those sent to schools and the rest . it should rather be improved and not to be scrapped as the increment of allowances prove the best way of doing it. This is because,the rumor going about that some youths especially from the high class citizens do not want to go for NYSC. i think the silly excuses they give all revolves on the scantiness of the allowance. Therefore, the government should do anything possible to preserve the culture to a greater height.
No. I don’t think NYSC should be scrapped. Reasons are NYSC teaches alot. Apart from empowering fresh graduates by paying them monthly for their upkeeps to making them go places to visit and know about other states, their culture and lifestyles, NYSC has helped alot of fresh graduates because it also makeup for unemployment in Nigeria. People graduate every year so instead of staying at home for a whole year or more doing nothing, NYSC helps in posting individuals to where they can actually go and work. Though many people see NYSC as a waste of time but I don’t. NYSC has helped alot beyond their imagination. Some people actually save cash to start up their lives after NYSC, some get married so tell me if you don’t go for NYSC will any of these just fall from heaven? All I can say is NYSC has actually done alot good than harm.
NYSC shouldn’t be scrapped.
The scheme has help to inculcate discipline in Nigeria youth and also develop common ties among the Nigeria youth it has also help the youth to acquire the spirit of self reliance by encouraging them to develop skills for self employment.
In my own view, I would suggest that NYSC shouldn’t be scraped rather, it should be reform.
Despite the fact that the process has affected some persons negatively, it has also inpacted greatly into the life of some persons. But it seems the negatively impact is more than the positive impact.
One of the ways it should be reform is trying to lengthen the period at which individual stays in the orientation camp to about 6 months. During these periods, individual will be allowed and thought different vocations, and other area of interest should be made available which can benefit the life of individual and the country at large after the period of training. At the end of the six months in camp, government should give a particular amount to individual in other to be able to establish Himself/herself in area where they have acquired knowledge during the training in camp.
I say this because many graduate are left frustrated and jobless after NYSC year. Many have gone into depression while others have gone from bad to worse, become a problem to the society.
Even some persons who had business ideas have no capital to establish it. When federal government gives this token in bulk, it will be more valuable than the normal one being given monthly for a year and it stops.
With the amount the federal government will be giving individual after the 6months in camp, individual will be able live a better life through what they have invested on after service year.
It will also help to reduce the level of unemployment in the country. Thanks.
Funny but true, it promotes the following:
1.Peace
2. Culture and Tradition
3. Allawee(that thing dey help o)
4. Life partner(over the years it has been going on)
5. Experience
6. Boost skill acquisition
7. Job opportunities
8 builds Ones CV,
So Nysc shouldn’t be Scrapped but protected and given more room to expand and grow in terms of alignment with various organization
I say NO to scrapping the scheme. NYSC has more advantages than the disadvantages, for instance he who pays attention well during the SAED program in the camp will at the end have a second plan if the first one fails (i.e. employment), graduates have high chances of getting employed by mingling with the staffs of their PPAs, He who has the opportunity to save would have a capital to start something for a living, and also, coming together of graduates from different angles of the country to me is a very great thing for all.
No, shouldn’t be scrapped simply 1.because nysc is the act that brings unity as a whole, for instance some igbo are serving in the North, and some of the igbo men wants to cause some terrors among the northern people in the East they will first consider there children serving in the north..
2. Nysc exposed you to another geographical-zone in the country, such as business idea, adaptation, skill acquisition, saving and language of other tribes…
3. Nysc helps in terms of establishment of house, organisation, life and so on….
4. Nysc helps in independent of self, for instance in the era of 33k, some will save all, some will earn at the end of the service year w
150-250k……and it has helped some of the youth in country in terms of job opportunity, self employed, and to create there job such as fashion design, barbing salon so as to employ others……
5. It brings Peace’s and sustainability in the country
Apart from the aforementioned labour flaws of the NYSC, the programme has been overtaken by vices. The privileged parents do everything they can to ensure their graduating children are posted to the safer cities and the ‘juicy’ agencies. It is the graduates who are not so connected that are posted to the suburban and rural areas. Even then, a lot of graduates brandishing the NYSC certificates were largely absentee participants in the scheme. A lot of the Corps members even cede their allowances to the NYSC officials as proxies who fictitiously mark them present when they are not.
It is high time we stopped the circus. The NYSC should be scrapped. This will remove its many injustices and vices from the plethora of ills in the Nigerian body politic.
NYSC should not be scrambled. Because it is a medium that brings about youths integration from different parts of the state. The FG should also create another medium that will create employment for people after service aside N -power
No!
Because this is the only avenue by which Nigerian youths from different parts of the Federation irrespective of tribe or institution are brought together to achieve one course.
Nysc shouldn’t be scrapped out since it’s objective was to promote national unity among Nigerians.
The nysc should not be scrapped,
Because it develop a sense of corporate existence an common destiny of the people of Nigeria,…
An also contribute to the accelerated growth of the national economy.
Nysc shouldn’t be scrab, its an avenue of exposing the youths to better opportunities, Skills acquisition and help in building self esteem and it helps to remove the minds of youths from white collar jobs.
In simple words NYSC is a well built foundation for aspiring youths that wants have a good start and prosperous tomorrow.
Not at all but should be promoted because that’s another source of unity in diversity
NYSC during the years have contributed a lot to nation building. Many People who goes to school within the cycle of there geo- political zones, have the opportunity of travelling to other geo political zone. There they meet people with different kinds of believes, religious, culture and ideology. You will have the privilege to learn about there ways of life. Now we can see a tribe marrying other tribes. And because of NYSC people have learned to tolerate each other due to series of orientation. NYSC also gives us the opportunity to explore through series of skills accusations both in camp and outside the camp. The contribution of NYSC can not in any circumstance over emphasized because our unity is in our diversity. So, nysc can not and will not be scrap for any reason. Thank you.
It won’t be funny if its being scrap because nysc gives opportunities to youths in the area of skills acquisition, experience of real life work, connections, others ways of life and discipline. You will agree with me that through nysc many learn handworks, know more of work ethics,behave responsible and lots more. I believe nysc is a season where graduate are prepared for life it self.
The scheme should not be scraped and should be retain.because the scheme create a senceless of one Nigeria in the minds of the citizen.for in stance if a parent living in sokoto and had a child serving in Oyo state ,he or she will treath the coper well in his or her community
Also the nysc is also established to promote grass root development for ,coppers are learned person and they can also help the children living in local area to develop there educational background
Another Germain point is that Nigeria government has small workforce so corppers are the one helping the government to bridge the gap of workload an the workers that are currently engaged in the civil service work
No, NYSC should not be scrapped, NYSC is like an eye opener to the youths of Nigeria. Not only eye opener but it unite the youths from nothern and southern part of the country, NYSC add more experience to the life of the youths, knowing other people culture, tongue, and many more. The most far and foremost reason it should not be scrapped is, NYSC is like a backbone of unity and peace of Nigeria especially in this time of security challenges.
NYSC SHOULD NOT BE SCRAPED BUT IMPROVED UPON.
There was a question I came across on Facebook which asked “will you sell your nysc certificate for two million?” and more than 90% of those that answered the question said that they can even add their other documents for the two million. This is to tell you that due to lack of jobs in Nigeria corpers did not value their certificates but they value the NYSC scheme.As for me NYSC should not be scrapped but improved upon in the area of increment in the allowance from the 33k to 100k to enable corp members have enough capital for startup after passing out.The current allowance is still small hence corpers have to be using it to take carefor themselves during the one year. Again, another way to improve the scheme is by packaging a particular sum of money(above 200k) for corp members and paying to them in the last month of their service year to enable them have tangible capital to start their life better.
In my own view, i will suggest that NYSC shouldn’t be scraped but rather be Restrategised and Redefined. In the Sense that every Corp Member will be posted in His/Her field of study so as to gain the needed experience in pursuing their Individual career after the one year of service. Can you imagine a Mechanical Engineering Graduate being posted to a school or religious Organization. Service year should be part of working experience for young Graduates
NYSC shouldn’t be scraped out instead it should be emphasized as the pillar of unity in diversity and should make it as priority for every youth graduate of the country. With this, peace and unity will return to the giant of Africa (Nigeria)
Wow great! Simple and short and u nailed it
That’s really awoesome
Great !
As a member of this group and by the virtue of the powers vested in me,According to section 3 subsection 5 of Article A subsection 2 Chapter 7a paragraph 9 of social media Act 2019,read together with constitutional amendment 2020,section 6 of paragraph 8, I hereby have the right to say NYSC should not be scrapped because it has played a pivotal role in unity, patriotism, obedience, character, Perseverance etc amongst different ethnic groups in the country. Nonetheless, 5star camp is the best NYSC came in Nigeria🙄🙄.
No..I do not think it should be scraped my reasons being that the aim of nysc is to serve our land and it not only does that, it also helps us and people like me that do not move around to learn about others culture and ways of life. Another reason I’d that the allawee being paid help some to save up something for the future either to invest or start a business.I know it still has it’s disadvantages but I think the advantage outweighs the disadvantages.
It’s should be scrapped because they money they give during service is not enough for man to survive and even save something, rather they should give every graduate that amount at once and he can’t state any business before any job come his way ,you can’t just be staying at home waiting for government job ,that what is killing this nation,pls they government should take note of this the graduate need little grade to start something in life.
The schemes remains the foundation and foundness found amidst graduates in Nigeria, it is the greatest force of social, moral, religious and economic integration in the country and should be kept💪💪💪
No it shouldn’t. As discouraging as serving Nigeria sounds, it gives an opportunity to learn how to adapt to new situations, enables one learn new cultures and make new friends and connections that might lead to employment, and most importantly, the allowance provided is a stepping stone to save for a business if you are the prudent type. At least something automatically immediately after school.
No, nysc should not be scrapped. Reason being that, nysc has done a lot in uniting the three tribes we have in Nigeria. When people from another tribe goes to another tribe to service, they will be enough reason for two different tribes to do things like one. With that, they will become friends, from friends to family.
Imagine, being friends for a whole one year, you will see not reason to talk bad about your friend from another tribe.
They said charity begins at home. As you are friend that to that one person, when you meet another person from that same tribe, you will still extend same love and kind. Reason being that your friend treated you well, and you now found out that what people say about that tribe is not really what it is.
Secondly, nysc has made some many people to learn one skill or the other during service year.
Thirdly, it has been a back bone of some of our youth, with the token federal Government gives. Which is the allowance.
Finally, nysc gives our youths some reasonable and positive exposure to our built environment.
Thanks
To me, Nysc shouldn’t be scrapped but should be reformed. The scheme has being of great opportunity to many who saw the usefulness of NYSC. Personally the experience is a lifetime one that I can never forget. More opportunities should be added to the program,aside the saed program organize during camp activities, more preference should be given to those that really wish to go deeper in establishing themselves as everyone cannot be employed. Also Nysc should ensure members are posted to organizations related to there course of study as not the usual schools that 95% of corp members are always posted to. Nysc shouldn’t be scrapped in any way but to be properly reformed. Thank you
NYSC shouldn’t be scrap out while because NYSC program really have helped so many youths through the SAED program, through the program the so many youths have learnt different skills which sustains them today.
Secondly the stipend paid to Corps members have helped many to establish medium and small scale business.
NYSC program also foster unity and peace, it helps to pull youths to other tribes.
My answer is “NO” it shouldn’t be scrapped. The national youth service corps (Nysc) has help a lot of youths in the society. Looking at some of the objectives of the programme, To develop common ties among the Nigerian youths and promote national unity and integration. Since it encourage coming together of all ethnic groups in Nigerian to be ‘one’ (united) in the camp and outside the camp and even after the programme. And it also helps in skills development hence reducing the rate of unemployment.
NYSC scheme is to be protected and preserved since it’s purpose and objective was the promotion of national unity among Nigerians. And the scheme was set up to achieve a target of fostering unity among the ethic tribes in Nigeria. A part from all this NYSC can be a means of a better future. The community development projects.NYSC provide the opportunity for young citizens to experience the rural life, culture and even the primitiveness of fellow country men who are like the corps member I can only say that our problem is NIGERIA itself not NYSC. Because anything that can be put in place to unite the people of a nation should not or never be scraped. NYSC is very important to Nigeria at this point
Yes I think it should be scrapped because it really delaying us,many opportunity have passed us bye just for the fact that we are waiting to go for service and get the nysc certificate without which one can’t really get a job considering the situation of the country.
NO, The NYSC should not be scrap, Nysc has made youths including me to accept other tribes, it has foster unity in the country. Now am Happily and comfortably living outside my fatherland. With the help of SAED, Youths are learning new skills in other to be self dependent and employer of labour. I wonder if many youth will ever leave there state and if tribes will ever accept each other without NYSC.
When the purpose of a program is defeated, the program becomes a failure and calls for termination. I take is that NYSC should be scraped because the motto of NYSC which days ‘service and Humility’ is no more in place because there are bunch of lazy and proud youths who cannot work at there PPA and still very disrespectful. What about the issue of ghost Corpers? Those who relocate back to their states for easy service? What about those who disrespect their host community?
I go for the scrapping of NYSC.
The answer is No.
This is because the Nysc is fulfilling it’s mandate and nothing should hamper it’s operation; if anything, it must be guarded jealousy.
The scheme was set up to achieve a target of fostering unity amongst youths and the ethnic tribes in Nigeria, which it has been performaning to a large extent.
I will not in anyway support it’s scraping because aside that of unity, it has also helps the youths to visit other parts of the country.
NYSC should not be scrapped,because of its substantial importance which includes; it offers a fascinating experience after graduation whereby graduates gets to know new places outside their usual environment,its serves as a unification avenue for Nigeria which encourage peaceful co-habitation amongst Nigerians thereby fostering national peace, it open youths to a life changing opportunities resulting in to youth rehabilitation and empowerment thereby minimizing the problem of unemployment.etc
Nysc shouldn’t be scrapped because it’s an avenue for unitism, peace and progress of our country. In the sense that our different tribes and cultures are being familiarized among the youths of the nation.
Yes, NYSC should be scrap. My reasons are as follows. 1. Federal government should scrap nysc and accumlate all the allowances that are expected to be giving to the youth corpers during there service time, to be giving to them in completion of there school program to establish business and therefore to be self reliance and employ other umemoloy yoth in there nation too or around them. 2. Using 2020 in specific if we take a look at the years of program in nigeria educational system is very discouraging, a program of 4years has become 5years etc and for me instead of wasting another additional 1year for youth services and at the end of the time the government will still consider the age of an individual before give them job, nysc should be scrap. Those are my reasons.
No i dont think nysc should be, bcoz it enlight people more to know what is happening in other state moreover it gives more knowledge, experience and opportunitties to people and the allowee also go a long way in some peoples life.
It shouldn’t be scrapped. I used to be of the opinion that Nysc should be scrapped because many pcms and corp members have lost their lives to road accidents, kidnapping,armed robbery etc in the name of going to camp or serve not until I went to orientation camp sagamu ogun state few weeks ago,there and there I saw unity like never before, different tribes, religion and background all came together to form platoons and formed a kinda bond,my bunkmates all from different states were all amazing to be with,it was really an experience,the way we bonded,looked after each other, stood by each other and supported each other was really amazing and mind blowing,for the first time in my life i experienced such unity all thanks to Nysc scheme. Long live Nysc scheme,long live gateway camp sagamu ogun state aka 5star camp.
Why on Earth would one just woke one morning and start think of scheme that’s uniting the young Nigerians, the scheme that made you explore other zone of your country Nysc made me know how to make shoes through one of their program (S.A.E.D) if this kind of a tangible scheme has been scrapped how will the likes of me knows how to make shoes
In my opinion, I don’t think nysc should be scrapped because its like a little foundation for graduates to be placed on a steady allowance for 12 consecutive months without having to depend on parents and guardians. This helps in financial independence. Through saed trainings, many graduates learn one or two skills they can use to start a business or as a side hustle. Through nysc people get to move from the location they are familiar with to another location and yet survive and conquer all odds. Most corp members end up settling in their state of deployment and starting up their businesses or doing their dream jobs. The connection, the feeling of been away from home(dependence), the friends, the new culture and so many other things to learn. Some even find their life partners through this. Rather than scrap nysc, the scheme should be reformed and some outdated laws rebranded to suit our growing generation. Thank you
