Since you feel like asking shallow questions I will teach you wisdom. Even when fuel was 65/L people still complained of the harsh economy. We were able to make 9,500 work by augmenting our incomes with our PPA salaries and cutting costs. Your generation want to live like kings on your 19,800 allawee, forgetting that the one year programme is for training you on the realities of life.

it's not ok to dismiss the agitations of this 'generation' of corpers as mere desire to live like a king on 19,800. there are many realities of today's NYSC that you may not be able to relate with.

To start with, most corpers spend fortunes on relocation for fear (theirs and their parent's fear) of being posted to any of the crisis areas in the country. Then they have to get their own accommodation because most PPAs no longer provide one for their corpers.

My parents confirmed that these issues were not a problem when they were serving..so they were more willing to help me augment the 19,800 during my service year.

Not everyone wants to live like a king on allowee. the truth is that 19800 is clearly a joke given today's realities
