@ State84:

Thank you for the effort. I put comments on their latest posts asking them to do same. Let us see if they will respond.

@ contracult

No problem at all. I’m glad you put this up. The day I heard about Ukeoma, I cried like he was related to me and couldn’t stop thinking about what he must have gone through hence this petition seems so important to me. Sending corpers to such places is like sending them to war without arming them.

My dear
The thing still bothers my sleep. I was a corper too some years ago. I cannot imagine the terror, the fear, the hopelessness and loss. Lord have mercy.

We need to fight to get the living ones out of there. We cannot give up. We cannot give up. Nobody else should be slaughtered like that.

Chei!!

Ogun evacuates 150 corps members


No fewer than 150 Ogun State born youth corps members serving in Bauchi State were brought back to Abeokuta, the state capital on Monday, just as the state government called for the scrapping of the National Youth Service Corps scheme.


The corps members were trapped in Bauchi following the post-election violence that rocked some parts of the North immediately after the presidential poll.


It was tears of joy of re-union as families stormed MKO stadium, where the youth corps members were received by the Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Olukoya Adeleke- Adedoyin.


The commissioner said the state government went to Bauch on Friday on learning of the predicament of its citizens.


According to him, about 400 corps members were reportedly trapped. He, however, added that by the time the state delegation got to the state, some of them had managed to find their way home, leaving 150 others for the state to rescue.


Then you see another like this and know that we cannot relent in our efforts. Please keep signing



I want my son’s corpse – says 62-year-old mother of slain corps member

A survivor of the recent mayhem that killed several corps members in the North narrates how she escaped death by the whiskers as mourning parents and relations of victims call on the National Youth Service Corps to release the bodies of their children in this report by SEGUN OLUGBILE





When Seun Adewumi completed his degree programme at the Olabisi Onabanjo University , Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, his dream was to take care of his 62-year-old mother, a retired cleaner of the Judicial Service Commission, Lagos State .


With enthusiasm, he gladly received his posting to Bauchi State for the one year mandatory National Youth Service Corps Scheme with the hope that he would get a good job after his service year and move his mother from the uncompleted building she lives in, at Agbado, an outskirt of Lagos , to a more decent apartment.


But this dream was shattered as life was snuffed out of the 27 year-old Political Science graduate in a gruesome manner last Monday by post-election rioters in Giade, the headquarters of Giade Local Government Area of Bauchi State.


Born in Lagos , Adewumi, a native of Imojo-Ekiti in Oye Ekiti Local Government Area of Ekiti State, was the only graduate out of his mother’s six children.


One of the corps members that survived the attack where over seven of her colleagues met their untimely deaths, Wumi, said Seun was butchered to death by rioters.

Please it is cruel for the government to keep silent on the deaths of these kids but  crueler for the society to keep quiet as well.

Only in Bauchi State , these people had been confirmed dead. Ukeoma Ikechukwu, Anslem Sylvester Nkwazema, Obinna Okpokiri and Kehinde Adeniyi.

How long shall we tolerate the non productive northern youths to kill productive southern Youths. enough is enough. In 1966 Buhari was the one that killed Igbo soldiers in cold blood, i have the records. Since independence the North had been in charge and nothing to show for it. Even buhari ruled as a dictator and did not perform. He should be charged for coup which he did. We are going to revenge seriously. Now the northerns will do their services in the northern dry land while we do ours on the southern oil lands. we are blessed.

Signed,
after at least 4 years of study and at the same time massive investment, then pushed to the battle field. It senseless. Why not MYSC full military corpers live in barrack perform their duties from the barracks.

this

this looks very untidy for a petition.
if you want to organise a petition do it properly.
a simple clear proposal with a list of signatories that is all.a petition would suggest that you have had your discussions,debates,disagrrements and only those who support it sign.
this looks like a blog or anything but,

Signed and i even wrote about it on my blog.

[size=20pt]I sign for scrapping of NYSC here in NIGERIA. They are not corpers of death but corpers of  life. Every crisis that erupts in the north, one or two corper falls victim of death. I a nairalander hereby SIGN for scrapping of NYSC. I don’t want to cry again neither do I want parent to lost again there beloved children, all in the name of FATHER LAND.[/size]

i dnt even knw the importance of this bleeping nysc, they suffer diff things, like when i was in sec school, the nysc ppl there got beaten by we student, yes i beat them small, but i must conlcude and say they suffer different things, frm beatings to death, it needs to be scrapped

and wait what is important of this nysc that it cant be scrapped, if not for boys getting to meet sum girls and fuckingg the shiit out of them for a year, be4 leaving for their destination??

like wha the helll, scrapp this damnnn shiiit and let ppl fuckinng live long, and stop giving parent sum fuckinng bullshiit and sum ridiculous death news, after using 24 years to bring a child up

Thank the good Lord for what we are doing. But please permit to say we still need to take another step in addition to these steps. We need to encourage NGOs to bring an action as an interested party at the federal high court. The action will be against the National assembly, the President, the AG federation and the DG NYSC (Like I said in one of the threads, the scheme came into being via an ACT so you will need to repeal that ACT). With the evidence at our disposal, we would then ask for an order of court compelling the NASS or the Executive to begin the process of repealing the ACT. The best option would have been going to the NASS en mass in protest asking them to initiate the process suo moto, however, we need not be told that security operatives will frown at such moves now.

I append my signature to the petition to withdraw NYSC members from the Northern States

signed.rily angry that ppl who don read read read ,collect certificate ,some useless ppl come kill dem,as if its easyto get a certificate in this country

I'll rather sign a petition to scrap NYSC completely.
and another petition asking the president to bring the perpetuators to book,irrespective of who the brains behind this dastard acts are.
However, in view of the way the independence bombings, Bayelsa bombings and Jos killings have been handled, i guess another political solution of all talk and no action awaits us.
Poor kids have died in vain.

My take is simple, NYSC should be withdrawn from ALL NORTHERN states. And going forward, only people of Northern origin should serve in those area.

If a Kano man decided to killed a Katsina man,shikena na dem dem.

i signed it even signed on behalf of my little tot, she will serve one day let us keep signing it

I just dnt like dis north people. WICKED PEOPLE. GOD WIL JUDGE

My father's colleague's relative was murdered completing his NYSC.

I sign!

The sanctity of human life is sacrosant
The cruel massacre of corp member is evil.
ACT NOW!
*Arrest the perenial Almajiri scourge
*Curb the killings of Nigerians (southerners, christians middlebelter etc in the north)

OR ELSE
Stop deploying these Nigerians for NYSC to the north
