NYSC VS BOKO HARAM:
A SLAUGHTER IN THE MAKING
I feel disappointment in the proposed postings of graduates for the NYSC scheme to northern Nigerian in the face of the sectarian unrest ravaging that part of the country.
So I ask, Should there be an argument?
Why should anyone who is not a military personnel be sent to
a troubled region in the name of a scheme that is been rubbished because a few
can flaunt money and influence postings?
Can anyone in the NYSC establishment give statistics on how the posting
of unarmed youths that just finished their studies can arrest the slaughter
been perpetrated by the terror groups in the north? How does the likely murder of these posted
corp members to these troubled region justify the course for unity when revenge
would be uttermost in the mind of the bereaved?
And I dare ask, why can’t this be a burning priority on the
table of Mr. President rather than the idea of birth control?
I listened to a part of Nigeria’s
presidential media chat, that is the part that I could compose myself to listen
to, about Mr. President’s response to why he has not visited the troubled northern
region of our country and the most relevant excuse given: SECURITY REASON.
If Mr. President and his avalanche of security personnel can
give this as an excuse is the NYSC not making preparations for a slaughter?
