I read with rage, disgust and concern the story of the Youth Corp member that was raped to death in Borno State. Several questions came to mind:

In as much as I believe in destiny as well as fate, there’s still a chance that unfortunate incident wouldn’t have happened were this lady in her hometown..in essence NYSC and by extension the Federal Government should share in the blame. Every year, thousands of graduates (those FORTUNATE enough not to be held back by the government’s insensitivity to the decay in the system-Strike actions) are churned out, sent to strange lands all in the name of mandatory ‘SERVICE 2 Fatherland’.

NYSC was originally borne out of the need for national re-integration after the disaffection brought about by the Nigerian Civil war. Several years later, I make bold to say, NYSC has lost its essence and focus as well .It has become another bogus scheme which serves to enrich the pockets of those at the helm of affairs. Wait till u hear how much the Federal government claims it spends on each corper. This is a far cry from what is evident. What with the substandard materials used by corpers from camp all through the duration of the service year. Khakis that are lighter than silk, badly made, too loose fitting or too tight, loosely fitted buttons (mend-as-u-wear) down to the jungle boots which do all but serve you even in the city. If therefore, the government claims to ‘waste as much as they do, y not scrap the damn scheme?! But of course they can’t. There’s always a hidden agenda, always someone who stands to loose.

How about security? It goes without saying that Corp members are the most vulnerable to danger. The recent religious crisis in Jos saw the death of a number of corpers. Several others have gone unreported in several parts of the country over time. Ethnic and religious crisis are not complete until the ultimate sacrifice of a corper is made 4 HOW LONG?! Isn’t it bad enough that the government tried to stop us graduating? They couldn’t kill us in school so they deliberately send a young graduate of Igbo origin to a volatile core-northern state and vice versa?

Oh the plight of the Nigerian Corper. They are taken advantage of by even their employers. Those who managed not 2 get rejected are exploited, working several strenuous hours longer than even a regular staff. Those in banks are given unreasonable targets, forcing them to doing unimaginable things (especially the females) JUST TO SURVIVE!!!

Poor living and working conditions that makes us wonder if there aren’t ethics that govern and guide such establishments and protect the rights of the employee.

How much longer will this continue? Do we wait until the best brains, fresh minds and fiery spirits are dead before we wake to the fact that NYSC has lost relevance?
I say the scheme should be scraped. It has failed. The government has failed. All we need;
1.   Allow the youths graduate from the various institutions of higher learning
2.   The orientation camps should remain because alot is learnt from there both physical and intellectual.
3.   After orientation, empower the youths with the money that would’ve been spent on kits and ‘allowee’. Let them start up something of their own.

This photo essay offers a glimpse into the real story of the Yar'adua family, showing the family’s modest means before Yar’adua’s entry into public office. The photo essay exposes the lies, greed and deceptive public image cultivated by the Yar’adua family.

Aisha was billed to marry Sokoto billionaire oil magnate, Rahamaniyya, but the wedding plans were terminated in favor of her marriage to either the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Senator Aliero, or the Kaduna State governor, Sambo.

Hajia Turai and her children own choice plots of land in Abuja, interests in banks, oil companies and numerous companies that are used as fronts to milk the Nigerian treasury. Turai Yar’adua is reputed to be an aggressive collector of bribes from politicians wishing to get into juicy positions as well as those whose positions may be threatened. She charges a fee of $30,000 for anybody who seeks an appointment with her.

When Yar'adua declared his assets in 1999, he barely had N50 million naira. In 2003, he did not declare his assets, claiming that nothing had changed. But in 2007, on the eve of his swearing-in, he made a declaration of a whopping N900 million naira. Even so, Yar’adua’s 2007 declaration was meant to fool Nigerians. It did not include several properties, including a N200 million house in Kano that Yar’adua purchased in 2002 from Kano-based Lebanese businessman, El-Tayeb.

A source that has been close to the Yar’aduas since their days in Katsina told our correspondent that “it is strange how this family with a humble beginning has become one of the most greedy in our country’s history.”

-As Facebook works to make itself more relevant and timely for its growing member base with a profile page makeover, attackers seem to be working overtime to steal the identities of the friends, fans and brands that connect though the social-networking site.

Indeed, Facebook has seen five different security threats in the past week. According to Trend Micro, four new hoax applications are attempting to trick members into divulging their usernames and passwords. And a new variant of the Koobface worm is running wild on the site, installing malware on the computers of victims who click on a link to a fake YouTube video.

The Koobface worm is dangerous. It can be dropped by other malware and downloaded unknowingly by a user when visiting malicious Web sites, Trend Micro reports. When attackers execute the malware, it searches for cookies created by online social networks. The latest variant is targeting Facebook, but earlier variants have also plagued MySpace.

BE WARNED!!
