Originally designed to step down supply and demand indices in the employment sector, these days everything has gone haywire.<\/p>\n<p>Even the conceived promotion of national unity through inter ethnic marriages across the board is no longer realizable because of the impenetrable barrier erected by one of the major ethnic groups, the Yorubas. At the NYSC camps, Yoruba young men constitute a protective wall around Yoruba spinsters who are barred from sharing and interacting with corpers outside the ethnic enclave. I personally feel that the use of Nigerians languages should be banned in the NYSC camps to scale down manifestations of ethnicity.<\/p>\n<p>The deployment of youth corpers during the service year is another\u00a0 absurdity and a major source of frustration within the service year.<\/p>\n<p>At various places of deployment, engineering graduates are sent to secondary schools to teach history and Nigerian languages, chemistry and physics coppers work in the administration departments while graduates in finance and banking as well as other allied courses share the same workload with messengers.<\/p>\n<p>With these punitive deployments, resourcefulness and creativity are delayed and sometimes routed for life federal government must act quickly to end this charade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Sir, there is no need pretending otherwise about the virtual collapse of the
