In an X post by @TechnicalBben, the young man shared how he now earned N2m monthly.

He said he was able to achieve such within two years and stated that it was the best decision he ever made.

The man said:

“I skipped NYSC because I was broke and refused to risk my life for a country that didn’t value mine. I learned tech instead. People said I wouldn’t get a job without the cert now I make ₦2M monthly as a remote marketing specialist. All within 2 years, Best decision ever.”

Reactions as man skips NYSC for tech

TheTalk.NG compiled some of the reactions.

@parody51180 said:

“I’ve said this multiple times. Learn a high paying skill and in two years you’ll land yourself a dream Jon here in the US or any other developed country in the world. I’m glad someone is testifying this first hand. I have lots of Nigerian friends and I can boldly say Nigerians are very talented and hard working.”

@IfunanyaNkemdi2 said:

“I really don’t know the benefits accrued to an NYSC certificate, but I feel one should just do it and just get done with it. It’s better to have the certificate and not need it than to need it and not have it. My 2cents, though.”

@Elchukx said:

“I have a very similar story… I skipped NYSC for two reasons. First, I consider it an absolute waste of 1 yr of one’s life. Secondly, I was to choose between it and a one-year data science accelerator program. Easiest choice to make. That training landed me my first tech job.”

@oyomferdinand said:

“I skipped for the same reason. I told my people, I won’t suffer in the university and go and suffer some more doing something I did not like. I was thinking maybe I’ll just do it at some point, but since this whole debate started, I don’t think I want to anymore.”

The debate about the NYSC started again when a member claimed she was threatened after tackling the president over economic hardship.

Her experience has attracted the attention of top politicians and policymakers like former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, who accompanied the corps member when she was summoned by an NYSC official
