Still on the Matter: It’s too early to be silent about #NYSCAbuse

While we lament the wickedness of the National Youth Service corps and are over here frantically trying to seek justice, some corps members, in classic Nigerian style, have decided to turn the table around.

As it is, there is an embargo placed on gainful employment in 90 per cent of the organizations in the country – you don’t serve, you don’t get a job unless you have taken part in the scheme. Yet. NYSC is a menace, a nightmare and frankly, adds no value to anyone’s lives in the... Read More
