I have never been a fan of NYSC.I was once a Corper and do not think I didn't enjoy my service year because I did.I served in a nice little village in Ekiti State and there were no hassles.I remember my stay with a smile but I could never figure out why we where made to lose one year of our lives in NYSC.
They say it helps unify the nation but I think they should do a research and see if this goal is being achieved and if it is worth the money and young lives that Nigeria loses every year to the scheme.I might be wrong but the whole thing seems pointless to me but they won't think the way I think because the rich and powerful make a lot of money from the scheme through budget pilfering and contracts while the poor lose one year and maybe their lives because I bet you,these powerful men won't put their kids through the scheme.
All these come to mind as I look through reader's response to FG new NYSC policy:
