Topic: Jos Massacre?Give NYSC a chance!

probably if one of the slain corpers was your sibling (can even hear u say God forbid) you would not be talking like this

Good talk NKONYEMA

NYSC SHEME IS A SHAM.IT SHOULD BE CRABBED. HUNDREDS OF CORPERS DIE YEARLY DUE BAD ROADS,COMMUNAL CLASHES,POOR HEALH SERVICES IN RURAL AREAS,EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS ETC. IT IS WASTE OF TALENTS,LIVES AND RESOURSES.

IN AS MUCH NYSC ALLOWS FOR THE APPRECIATION OF THE BEAUTY INHERENT IN THE COUNTRY'S CULTURAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DIVERSITY, AND A SMALL( VERY VERY SMALL) AMOUNT OF CORPERS ARE RETAINED AT THEIR PLACE OF SERVICE OR MEET THEIR POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS DURING THE SERVICE YEAR, THE FACT STILL REMAINS THAT THE WHOLE SCHEME HAS OUTLIVED ITS USEFULNESS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A MORE ENTERPRISING SCHEME.

NOT ONLY ARE THERE RISKS GENERATED FROM THE RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL INSTABILITY OF THE THE COUNTRY, THE DEPLORABLE HOUSING CONDITIONS IN WHICH OVER 80% OF CORP MEMBERS LIVE, THE PITIABLE AMOUNT (ALLOWEE) WHICH IS BEING PAID TO THEM FOR SERVICE RENDERED TO FATHER, WHICH I AM MADE TO UNDERSTAND SHOULD BE SELFLESS, DOES NOT MAKE THE SCHEME WORTH THE RISK ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

I STRONGLY, I MEAN STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS SCHEME SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE ANY FURTHER

THANKS PATOKE FOR YOUR COMMENTS OVER THIS NYSC ISSUE BUT I DONT AGREE WITH YOU ON DISCONTINUEING THE SCHEME. PRESENTLY,I`M A CORPER SERVING IN KANO STATE AND MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE NYSC SCHEME HAS BEEN A VERY BITTER ONE CONSIDERING THE POOR WELFARE PACKAGE AND RISKS I WAS MADE TO PASS TYHROUGH.THE INTENSIONS OF THE SCHEME IS A VERY GOOD ONE BUT IT HAS FAILED IN APPLICATION OF THE RULES GOVERNING IT AND THAT IS WHAT WE SHOULS BE TALKING ABOUT RATHER THAN ASKING IT TO BE SCRAPED. MY PERSONAL SUGGESTION IS THAT THE SCHEME SHOULD BE RESTRICTED TO JUST THE ORIENTATION PROGRAM AT CAMP WHICH SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2 MONTHS OR MORE AND AFTER THEN EACH SUCCESFUL CORP MEMBER SHOULD BE GIVEN A STIPULATED REASONABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO START UP SOMETHING ON THEIR OWN.

I REALLY SYMPATHISED WITH THE FAMILIES OF THE SLAIN CORP MEMBERS,INFACT I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I HEARD THIS ANIMALISTIC BEHAVIOUR DISPLAYED BY THOSE PEOPLE.I WEPT UNCONTYROLLABLY WHEN THE CORPSE OF THAT CORP MEMBER IN IBADAN WAS BEING BURIED.
I HAD SERVED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO,DO HOUSE KNOW WHY I WILL SUPPORT SCRAPPING OF THE SCHEME.I READ ELECT/ELECT IN ONE OF THIS NATIONAL UNIVERSITIES,ALMOST ALL OF US I MEAN [ENGINEERING STUDENTS] THAT SERVED THEN WERE BEING POSTED TO SCHOOLS INCLDING LAW STUDENTS,WHILE THOSE THAT EVEN READ EDUCATION WERE BEING TAKING TO COMPANIES BECOS IT WAS A MATTER OF WHOM U KNOW............................A BETTER INTERSHIP TRAINIG SHOULD ORGANISED,FOR THE ENGINEERING STUDENTS.

The Jos killings just shows how insensitive our government is. I agree with the adage that whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.The NYSC scheme is a complete failure and so should be scrapped. May God console the families of the slain corps members.

Amen!!!
