Sending NYSC Corps Members to Northern Nigeria, where security is uncertain, has sparked a serious debate. People are questioning whether it's right to risk lives for what some call an unimportant national service.
Parents and guardians are being advised to stop their kids from going to these dangerous areas. It's clear that no amount of money or service is more important than staying safe.
Critics say that the government cares more about making money from the program than protecting the youth. This has led to a strong call for people to take care of themselves since the government might not do it.
The recent kidnapping of eight NYSC members adds urgency to the issue. Despite this, other NYSC members are carrying on with their normal activities like nothing's wrong.
The big question is whether it's still a good idea to send NYSC members to the North. Finding a balance between uniting the nation and keeping young people safe is important. Maybe they could do projects in safer places or with more security.
This isn't just about a program; it's about making sure young lives are safe while they're trying to contribute to the country. As the debate continues, one thing is clear: protecting the youth should matter more than anything else. It's up to the authorities to show they care about the safety of those who will shape the country's future.
