Topic: NYSC: SHOULD IT BE SCRAPPED?

in my own opinion i think it should remain so that our children will come to meet it. with the hope that when power gets into our hands we will make things better. because when our fathers were there things was better than what we see now.guess what they are still in power and they proved to us that they cant change things. well the platform will soon come into our hands. then lets see if things will get better.
my major concern is those they claim are not fit for service as par age.nothing is done for these set. why cant the government give them their own share of the "alawi" at lest it can start a small petty business.they are left alone stranded with job search and age bearier. when opportunity comes for them to apply for the jobs, they say "5 years experience". excuse me, where do u expect them to get that experience?.
any way i know God will help us, but we need to do something that will move the heavens to act on our behalf.

i'm sorry to every one with NYSC in 1 way or the other- i mean ppl getting their daily bread from the scheme legally sha!

no contest...NYSC SHOULD BE SCRAPPED!!!
pausing ones progress for a year in the name of 'mandatory' service to our nation?! we May never cease acting like animals...zombie...what is with 'mandatory'...if my fatherland has been kind to me, she does not need to mandate me to serve her. i'd simply look out for that hand which fed me... so NIGERIA... ARE U LISTENING??!! "take good care of your own and the stream shall never forget its source.. E SEUN!

I REPRESENT NAIJA TILL I THE GREEN LINE GO FLAT!!!!! and that's that!

It is either the scheme is reviewed or let the FG scrap it. Cos the aim is already deafeated. The experience in camp is kul, but after camp, 80% of corp members are subjected to psycological,social or financial disaster. And it is a period of zeal elimination, cos most graduates dont serve in their field of study. U can imagine an engineer serving in a primary sch,after 4getin about the practical aspect of his profession for a year, what is he left with to present to companies if he is employed.[/font]

i think NYSC IS GOOD BUT THE GOVT.ARE MAKING THING DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE,THE GOVT SHUD CHANGE IT BY PAYING EVERY GRADUATE WITH 400,000 TOUSAND TO START UP HIS LIFE.
THAT IS WHAT I SUGGEST.
SUNNY ODAH.

i'm not against the scrapping of NYSC. What am against is the punishment it is inflicting on the youth. It is a well- known fact that economic situations and condition has almost made it impossible for the nigeria child to graduate as at when due. This problem has led to the fact that almost 80% of the youth today falsify their age in order to meet up the service. Moreover, after graduating that late and serving, some "new generation companies" will not employ individuals that are above 26/27. My suggestion is that the body concern should allow room for all to serve and also curtail the age discrimination in the labour market. its good to serve our father's land(the national anthem).

In my point of view it should not be scraped b/cos it gives us the opportunity to make new friends and learn new tings e.g the Hiv/AIDS peer education training and lots more which gives u the opportunity to give back to the society a little of what it has given us, again one of the aim of the scheme is to bring national unity which i think it has achieved over the yrs b/cos their r most corp members who has ended in marriage today.But the authorities shld do something to help graduades after the program in the area of jobs b/cos as am talking to u now, ve completed my nysc program 4 the past two yrs yet no white colar job,still scrambling 2 suvive.

ACTUALLY IT IS A WASTE OF TIME THOUGH IT COMES WITH PLENTY FUN AND "MAYBE" EXPOSURE BUT ON THE WHOLE, ANYBODY CUOLD TRAVEL ANYWHERE IF HE/SHE IS INTERESTED IN INTERGRATION. THAT ONE YEAR COULD BE USED FOR MORE PRODUCTIVE VENTURE.

i quite i agreee with you itz one thing to no physics i tink it takes a gift and training to be able to teach it .....

everybody has the right to his or her own opinion but left to me nysc is an experience that's worthwhile and i think there is the need for a review to the whole scheme in order to improve on it.

LADIES & GENTLEMEN WHY NOT WE CAST A VOTE SO AS TO SEE THE HIGHEST POPULATION DAT SUPPORTS SCRAPPING AND THE ONES WHO DO NOT.
WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS NOT WHETHER IT SHUD BE OFF OR NOT. WE SHUD THINK OF WHAT WE EACH CAN DO TO BETTER NIGERIA.WHAT IS YOUR CONTRIBUTION, WHAT IS MY OWN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT DO U ANTICIPATE TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT 10YRS?
HOW CAN U CREATE A JOB FOR URSELF WITH LITTLE CAPITAL? HOW CAN UR IDEAS PUT FOOD ON UR TABLE WITHOUT CHEATING UR NEIGHBOR? ETC.
U MIGHT SAY I HAVE IDEAS AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, MAY BE I SHUD SAY U SHUD RE-PACKAGE IT AGAIN. LET HOPE OF MAKING IT FLOOD UR HEAD. LET WINNING START FROM WITHIN U.
WE CAN MAKE IT IN NIGERIA WITHOUT RUNNING FOR SO CALLED GREEN PASTURE OUTSIDE THE NATION. IF U RUN FROM A FIGHT TODAY U WILL LIVE TO FIGHT IT ANOTHER DAY. LETS HOLD THE BULL BY D HORNS AND CHANGE. WHATEVER WE CAN CHANGE WHILE WE CAN.
THANK YOU.
SEE U AT THE TOP

if i had seen this b4 or during my service year i wud av quickly said scrap but now i don't think it shld be scrapped cos when u really serve (that is not working ur posting nd not be a runaway corper), u actually get to learn alot about a people u've always seen 4rm afar.
i do think however dt it a very wasteful exercise nd if the govt is going to waste all the money it wastes on it nd d one year we also waste, they should at leaste ensure that it works well nd acheive all it's set objectives( bringing d nation together ect). it should be overhauled nd made more relevant to the present day nig( i mean not all us know or even care about the nig civil war that led 2 d creation of nysc in d first place
