Let us lift our nation high
Under the sun or in the rain
With dedication and selflessness
Nigeria is ours, Nigeria we serve.

Put the Nation first in all
With service and humility

Make Nigeria a great nation.

Far and near we come to serve
And to build our fatherland

Hail Nigeria, our great nation.

Are you prepared for Life after NYSC: POST NYSC DEPRESSION IS REAL

First thing don't be scared, we only want to discuss some obvious and not well told truth about typical life after NYSC

NYSC will soon finish for any batch.
NYSC go soon end even if you started yesterday.
All finally NYSC will soon become history.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. That bliss of eventually dumping khaki for good. Your total freedom given to you on a piece of paper. CDS becomes a thing of the past. You can travel for more than two weeks without pass or the fear of your LGI serving you with query once you return. No fear of the proprietor, principal or boss at your PPA breathing down your neck because you didn’t return to work after CDS meeting. None of that at all. You are finally a free human. You have successfully crossed over to adulthood.

Oya gbera!
After a month or two. The bliss that came with your eventual freedom starts to fade. It starts with;

BOREDOM: You are always bored because you have nothing tangible to do aside pressing your phone, watching t.v. and hanging out with your friends who are equally bored. Later, you start feeling empty. What can you use to fill that emptiness you feel? You don’t know because you are too scared to even know. You want to be responsible but you are also scared of being responsible.

This continues in a monotone until your parents or a nosy neighbour or relative starts asking what is next after your service year?

‘Ade so what is next now?’
‘My daughter is currently running a professional course. What about you?’

FRUSTRATION: Your frustration starts when suddenly all your acquaintances start winning. Getting engaged, getting married, enrolling for a masters degree, securing a job in an oil firm, traveling overseas on scholarship, becoming a celebrity while you are there with your phone in hand following up on everything on their social media pages.

THE BLAME GAME: You start reconsidering your life choices. You blame your destiny. You blame the grade you graduated with. You blame your skin tone. You blame the colour of your teeth. You blame AIRTEL. You blame yourself. You blame the shoe maker. You blame Stormi Webster. You blame everything for your woes.

NAGGING FROM PARENTS: Then your parents start their own, by getting pissed at every little thing you do.

‘Es, please the way you are drinking that juice is disturbing my ear.’

‘How will you know Saraki is contesting for president when you don’t go out to work?’

‘The price of tomato paste has increased but you can’t know that. Since you are not buying it.’

‘You will just be there sleeping and eating. You don’t have shame?’

Chai
DISAPPOINTMENTS: You decided to call your mum’s brother .........

RE: RELOCATION FROM CAMP: PROSPECTIVE CORPS MEMBERS (PCMs), PARENTS, GENERAL PUBLIC BEWARE!

Management of the National Youth Service Corps hereby alerts all the PCMs, parents and the general public on the activities of some fraudsters who masquerade as staff, or agents of the National Youth Service Corps, with the intention to dupe unsuspecting victims.

In the last few days, the social media has been awash with advertisements from these criminals, soliciting PCMs desirous of relocation to part with certain amount of money for them to facilitate the relocation.

Consequently, Management hereby once again restates that relocation of Corps Members is free of charge, based on the relocation policy of the Scheme, and on individual merit. Likewise posting and reposting of Corps Members to areas of Primary Assignment, as well as other services rendered by the Scheme.

Management warns the criminals perpetrating this wicked act to desist forthwith, as failure to do so shall be met with dire consequences to be executed within the confines of the law.

PCMs, Corps Members, please, never allow yourselves to fall prey to the antics of the criminals.

Remember to always stay safe, in and out of the camp by observing COVID-19 safety protocols of social distancing, wearing of face mask, use of alcohol - based hand sanitiser and appropriate washing of hands with soap and water for at least twenty seconds.

Management.
