Nigerians have reacted after a National Youth Service Corps member was seen kneeling down as punishment after being ordered to do so by a Red Cross CDS supervisor.
The incident happened at Jos North NYSC secretariat in Plateau state.
Nigerians have condemned the act saying that the NYSC scheme has become a joke and avenue to mock and humiliate graduates who must have spent several years in the university all in the same of serving their fatherland.

lit_newz :”When fear is misunderstood for respect this is what you get. Many Nigerians don’t understand the very thin line that stands between fear and respect. What we call respect is actually fear, and as a result the average Nigeria youth has been stripped off his self confidence and dignity. Let’s be honest, why will anybody be asked to kneel or seat on the floor as a means of discipline if we really claim to be civilized??? All these are symptoms of SLAVERY SYNDROMES that Nigerians carry from generations to generations. SLAVES and MASTERS relationship is all that has engulf the Banana Republic called Nigeria.
Red Cross’s/Corper Nysc episode was a story for some years to come.but the corper action shows how remorseful he was for the offence purportedly commited.The NYSC corper attitude will go a long way by putting him far above his equal in character and learning.and I bet anyone the corper in question will secure job immiadiately.
Please ooo it’s just to kneel down that you people are complaining has anyone thought to ask if the Corper in question disrespected the staff see People can be very disrespectful to people because they think they have reached a certain place in life especially Corper’s and am pretty sure this was the case no one likes to punish others so the staff just woke up from his or her house and said today I’ll punish a Corper this is utter rubbish Nigerians should learn to think outside the box abeg
I konw is actually wrong for the CDs supervisor to do dat to Corper Buh Believe me or not is all part of serving your fatherland’s, Humiliation, Hatred, Pains, challenges Is wat make us way more great and fast to achieving Our Goals, Who so ever Maltreat his brother Same Will Happen to him, I Cant risk any extension just for d simple Command from My Master to kneel down, remember been punished by your master Wen u are at fault is part of the odd we Swear In before going into our National Service. D law says Obey Before Complaint onward if u tink u right not to be punished u immediately report him to his superior too, Dont forget your management Organizational Chart. As for u saying Things like dis only happen in the northern part of the country, Yes u very right buh my answer to question is simply: We are Well Trained n discipline by our parents people from your environment are virus syndrome to our community, so if you ever seen someone from the north misbehaved is due to your negative Influence cuz we are not trained n brought up like that ok. Dis are my perceptions is by choice to believed not by force. I apologized for the use of any mis appropriate words i mean no harm. Tnk u. Munnir Carter. The Marathon Continues!
