Governor Kayode Fayemi has come under attack for urging
President Muhammadu Buhari to turn National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) camps
into security training grounds and recruit “willing and able” graduates to join
the military and the police.
Fayemi pointed out that one of
the cheapest and fastest ways to handle this was to amend the law setting up
the scheme.
According to him, if NYSC ‘corpers’ are converted into
soldiers, they could be deployed to fight against Boko Haram terrorists,
bandits, separatists and so on.
He added that corps members, who cannot join the military
services, can serve in their communities without pay.
But reacting, some Nigerians on social media urged him to
lead by example by bringing his children abroad to join the military.
Here are some comments gathered from Twitter and
Instagram:
@abeesoyeh, ”I just hope all your Children would also be
among the troop to fight the bandits. Wicked souls after siphoning all the
funds meant for the masses, your next agenda is to start your suicide mission.”
@opeyemibanzini,” When will these folks stop treating NYSC
as the panacea to all Nigeria’s problems. Can’t they just leave these graduates
to face real-world post-graduation uncertainty in peace!”
@holluwaphemmy88, Dear@kfayemi one of the qualities of a good
leader is leading by example. Will you be kind enough to bring one of your
children just one, not two to join in beefing up security?”
@dbassboi, ”After all the sufferings in school, when it’s
now time for parents to reap their labour, they should lose their sons and
daughters to the hand of Bokoharam and bandits. You have children also, Mr.
Fayemi, Please recruit your children to fight them.”
@Dot_E_Fresh, ”Insane. Fayemi is better than this. Sensible
people like him and Fashola seem to lose their marbles when they get near the
levers of power.
@adresbello, ”This is pure madness. Why don’t you lead by
example by bringing your kids to join this security training grounds.”
@DopplerFilmz, ”Looking for people’s sons and daughters to
kill in an avoidable war fuelled by Islamists expansionist agenda and
corruption.”
@magnus_coker, ”Some suggestions to Gov. Fayemi of Ekiti
State: 1. His children should be at the forefront of this security campaign.
2. He and other governors should reduce the number of DSS operatives,
Police personnel, and Civil Defense personnel on their security detail.”
@O_basslet, ”APC is a curse. Fayemi wants the FG to recruit
Corps Members as security personnel. Tinubu wants to recruit 50M youths into
the army. Are you people okay?”
@SodiqTade, ”Osinbajo is their best choice in that party for
the sake of the country if at all APC get to rig the 2023 election
successfully. I can’t have Tinubu who believed in 50m battalion or Fayemi that
believed Corp members should be used to beef up the country security.”
