I choose not to share pleasantries with you on the basis of which I have chosen to write. Pleasantries from it's name are for individuals whom you're pleased with. Therefore I am not pleased with you. I believe deeply that I do not speak for myself alone; that will be selfish. I believe all prospective corp members are equally displeased and will as well express displeasure by any means possible. At this point I believe You have a glimpse of what all this displeasure is all about. I and all other Nigerian students all over the country can no longer be tossed as coins on a field of play so let me remind you your crime against the Nigerian Students who are NYSC prospects. Not too long ago, you declared that prospective corp members should embark on an online registration and mobilization, a process that wasn't friendly from the very first day to the last. There was
not a single prospective corp member that did not experience extreme difficulty in that process (a process you will gladly call normal.) Let me also point out here how insecure your website was on the time of registration. How can a National website of such nature be hacked by hackers? How can unknown individuals hack into your database and gain access to Every information and details of students and was even bold enough to exclaim that callup letters can be printed via your own website. What were your reactions to this? What plans have you made towards hindering future incidences? All these are a few of numerous questions you need to answer. Back to the main issue at hand, after date for online registration had closed, you established the date for camp to be 2nd of March, with hope those of us who had finished school in 2014 rejoiced that we didn't have to stay at home any longer with our parent's eyebrows raised thinking if we really finished school after missing the 2015 batch ( a batch you only permitted two slots for) but our hopes we're dashed when you declared again that the March 2nd date cannot be achieved thus you shifted it to 30th of March. Those of us who had jobs began to tender their resignation letters, some of us who had no jobs began to bid farewell to boredom and lonely days, like songs, we sang about our coming departure, with so much joy and desperation we were eager to serve our father's land, our bags we set, our whites were white enough, we got new white shoes, mothers Rejoiced with their sons and daughters at last the clarion call was ready to be answered but as we were set to go, again but this time with ought most disdain you shifted the date again to 1st April and again to 27th April without consideration of what it has taken us to get here. Let give you a glimpse; 1. Most of us have been waiting to serve for 2yrs now some of us more.
2. Most of us are out to serve with joy and passion you have succeeded in taking that zeal and passion from us.
3. Most of us have tendered resignation letters at our various areas of well paid jobs. A resignation letter we cannot retrieve.
4. Most of us (approximately 75%) who have saved a lot or a little will go broke before 27 April.
5. Most of us if not all of us will no longer be believed when we say we are due for service.
These are a few of the circumstances you as an organization have subjected prospective corp members to. What have we done to deserve such lame maltreatment? Or is it now a crime to be a Nigerian student? Don't we deserve to serve? Must our futures be gambled with all in the name of politics?
DEAR NYSC… Let me make this clearly spelt out, we will no longer condone this High level of betrayal and disrespect for the Nigerian students who NYSC prospects. Remember, "you can repair broken children but not broken men…" DO NOT test our resolve as Students if not, trust it will turn out to be a situation you CAN NOT control. FIX THIS INCONSISTENCY.
Yours Heart Broken
A CONCERNED STUDENT
