How much is a life worth I ask myself?
How much does it cost to be delivered of a baby?
How much does it cost to raise a baby?
How much does a nursery and primary Education cost?
How much does a secondary Education cost?
How much does it cost to get into the higher institution?
How much does a university Education cost?
How much does it cost to get good accomodation in a school environment?
How much does it cost to feed a child from infancy to adulthood?

How much does it cost to clothe a child from infancy to adulthood?
How much does it cost to...?
If calculated, five million naira does not cover it. A hundred million naira won't cover it...
Why trivialize the meaningless death of corp members? Why term the so called "compensation" as "goodies"? Automatic employment for a member of the deceased family is nothing short of what every graduate in the country deserves. It is nothing special.
The president should thread carefully when he does certain things. The instigators of the dastardly act shoulb be brought to book and maybe, maybe, the families can have a bit of closure. Let them know that justice still exists. Let them know that their loved ones death brought about a change in our political dealings.
Am angry that corp members are treated as glorified slaves and expendables.
Why obey the Clarion call when we are not safe?
Why stand under the sun or in the rain when it is not safe?
What dedication and selflessness when, we have undedicated people and selfish people barring our road to life and success?
It's not enough Mr. President. Not enough.
More than 10 corp members might be dead and also, a lot more were affected and might be traumatized for the rest of their lives.
Someone has to pay for all that has happened. That is the only way to bring about a semblance of closure to the; families of the dead corp members, the injured corp members, the other affected corp members,their families, friends and the nation in general.
Let us show that justice can be served in Nigeria, Let the Northerners know that they can't get away with violence and murder all the time.
Let the up-coming generation know that the government has got their back.
If you ask me, I would say, the NYSC scheme should be scrapped,a thorough investigation should be carried out, all culprits must be brought to book, the actions of Northerners must be checked and please and please, stop calling whatever compensation that is being given GOODIES because it isn't
Once again, It's not enough...

NYSC scheme has outlived purpose,and thus should be scrapped.How can a scheme that was meant to broker peace now become the enemy of peace.Cost of training a child in tertiary institution cannot be compared to that chicken feed distributed by the federal govt,let the culprits be brought to book and justice be dispensed accordingly without further delay.
