Should I Reduce My Age For Service? by Supreme145(m): 10:56am On Jan 14, 2022
I just graduated from school recently and have seen only my first semester result because my alumni is currently in their first semester. Now I'm going to be 30 by September and at a risk of missing out on service.

Initially I was unperturbed about it but all my friends in a similar situation have already started the process of age reduction and I'm the only one left out.

I don't know if youth service is really worth the stress. I'm learning a couple of digital skills while I'm also a writer. My target is to get very good by the end of the year. So I won't have to depend on NYSC discharge certificate to land a job considering that my age would make me ineligible for most jobs anyway.

Should I just let things take it's natural course? Or follow the band wagon considering the situation of things in the country.

Skip NYSC. Is not worth the stress.

Most importantly, dont reduce your age. It is better to face life with a clean slate than dent yourself with things capable of ruining your glorious destiny. Nugget: Be morally strict.

Continue on improving your skill set. It will fetch you money in the long run.

Reduce age for NYSC? Certainly No!

But if you have the plan to contest for the President of Nigeria, reduce your age now!
Buhari and Tinubu are the leading examples

We have weak institutions in Nigeria. Things like this shouldn't be happening this is corruption.
