To be or not to be

Since 1973, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has been in existence. The new mode of operations of NYSC now to post about 80% of Graduate yearly into the Education Sector as teachers, is something to ponder about as a to-be or Fresh Corp member. Equal National Development is what we intended to achieve according to the goal of NYSC, these goals are only going to be achieved if the corp members themselves are to willingly to help visualize this goal. So far, some Corp members are enjoying their new found career as teachers, good,good enough.we

But in Corperhood we have issues like: Poor Career Development- After spending 12months of NYSC life as a teacher and gained experience skills in another career path, coming back to one's career will not be so easy as there are many things to learn and unlearn, this will help in career development at all as organizations now have to retrain the newly acquired staff to get the best out of them. Safety of Life: Over the years many insurgencies of Boko Haram crisis has killed a good number of our active Corp Members being posted to some parts of the country under attacks of the Boko haram terrorist group. We just wonder why can't the corp members be posted to their region, that is Corper from western Nigeria should be posted to another state within the west, likewise for other corpers from other regions and areas social unrest should be avoided totally. Harsh Cultural practices: Our naive Corpers are not so acclaimed with their new environment as regards its culture and norms, some of us in search of adventures have lost their lives due to some cultural practices that takes place there that boldly allows strangers to be victims of the evils of this culture. Unsafe Environment: Some parts of Nigeria are dominated by scorpions, snakes,ants, etc i our houses that bites us as we diligently serve our nation...... Is this fair enough. Yes, we always adapt to new locations as we are Nigerians. Seriously our living conditions should be improved may be there should be a law to ensure that the accommodation available for Corpers to stay are actually habitable indeed. We should be protected as we serve our nation diligently, after all we could have cut corners yet yea said yes to this clarion call.
