We asked our followers on Instagram whether or not they think the Nigerian government should stop NYSC.
And here’s what they had to say
Many fans couldn’t wait to say goodbye to the scheme
@mr_toniii ‘Waste of life especially for young men.girls nor get problem
@oladejitobi ‘After today’s clearance??? Yes pls scrap it I’m tired abeg 😌😏’
@memoriesbyese ‘You know and I know and even the government knows that the NYSC has outlived it’s purpose and is now more of a problem than a solution. We are in dire need of a proper system that can help to integrate graduates into the working world/entrepreneurship without enslaving them. Give them tools that can actually help them, let them attend workshops and helpful seminars and become profitable and contributing members of our society.’
@sijioyewusi ‘Wat does it matter though… Even if we all say yes, they won’t stop it. Pheew! Goodness how i hated camp! Lool’
@vickssjj__ ‘Should’ve scrapped it a long time ago. It was a horrible experience only thing positive was the people i got to meet..’
@vendajules ‘YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!’
@ominiaho ‘NYSC is a total waste of time and resources. The government should restructure it to skills acquisition or scrap it.’
@adorable_sege ‘Yes pls total waste of time’
@portable_z ‘Yes plssss! When i was much younger I thought after NYSC you get automatic job but since its not so, its not worth the stress abeg’
Some of them will actually miss it
@ochapa1 ‘Stop what…?I make a living from orientation camp hustle. Better still increase the alawi’
@iamfavouredoluchi ‘They should not even think of it twice’
@raheelaibraheem ‘Nooo y’
@obi_tweep ‘Hell Nope !! They should do some reforms on the scheme. So that its more productive to the Nation. Ans provides adequate security for the corp members’
Others had some nice ideas to make the scheme better
@lunamide ‘I feel they should reduce it from 1year program to 3weeks or 1month after that the certificate and d 237600 naija should be given at the end of the 1month program so that those that learnt something during the saed lecture can have capital to start up’
@yung_chuddi ‘Or reduce the bloody time..thankyou @timithemonarch‘
@__iamzara ‘Everyday someone will b seeing this stupid question. They won’t talk abt how the government shud increase the alawee to 50k, Dey r here asking if it shud b scrapped. Wats my own🙍’
