National youth service corps is a mandatory one year
exercise for all graduates all over Nigeria. Which start with a 3 weeks
orientation camp after which every corps member will be posted to different
places of primary assignment where they will need to contribute towards the
development of their host communities. Then the winding-up or passing out at
the end of the service year (usually at the 12th month).
After the
passing out parade here comes life after Nysc which I called post Nysc (National
youth service corps). A life that will open up challenges or wound and proffer
healing to them said by Engineer Yemi. A life in which graduates will add to
about 75 million youth looking for jobs in the country.
The
question on most graduates mind after Nysc will be ‘‘what next after Nysc?”.
This was the same question directed to some batch A 2012 corps members serving
in owan east local government area of Edo state in December 2012 by an
engineer. Different answers were received from this question.
He said,
Life after service is full of anger, regret, loneliness, dejection despair and
so on. He said only graduates who can overcome these will enjoy peace, joy,
happiness, productivity and so on which are the fruits of patience, dedication,
faith, and tolerance. He said, life after service starts the day discharge
certificate has been given. It is the day graduates will come in touch with the
reality of adulthood and the and of federal allowance (Allawi) and payment from
places of primary assignment. He said, it will be the day you will have to take
the greatest decision of your life.
Engineer
Yemi said, the very day you receive your discharge certificate you
automatically add to the population of unemployed employable and unemployable
Nigerians. You automatically become a man or woman of your own. He further and
said life after service is a time where you will look at your parents and
cannot ask them questions, it is the time much is required from you at home. It
will be a period of time where loneliness will turn you into something else,
but only the disciplined will save their lives and keep believing God for His
kindness. All these things were some of the things most of those we passed out together were experiencing now. Many were yet to secure a job to manage in this country called Nigeria. what we need is prayer and to take a step by no relying too much on our government to provide jobs for us we should take up the challenge and do something.
In conclusion, congratulations to all the batch B corps members but my best advice is that whatever job
you find after service grap it and continue looking for job or make a job and
focus not totally on looking out for one. Learn how to spot out opportunities
and be self-sufficient as you go hunting for job or gain valuable skills and
become an entrepreneur reducing unemployment rate in Nigeria. Try and build-up
your skills during service year and send applications to many companies during
service year. Above all be very close to God.
Once again congratulations.
