A female corps member, @dii_imma, has shared two strict warnings NYSC gave them following Raye’s rant against President Tinubu and Lagos state, which has made her the talk of social media.

In a tweet on X, @dii_imma disclosed that corps members were told to “put their phones down.”

She added that they were also given strict warning about making utterances against the government if they want their certificates after completing their service. She tweeted:

“They told everybody to put down their phones and gave us strict warning about speaking about the government if we want to collect our certificates. Oya nau.”

In the comment section, the corps member marvelled that they summoned corps members under the guise of sharing rice to them, only to give them warnings and order them home.

“What’s funny is they told us to wait that they wanted to share rice for corpers only for them to address us with this and tell us to go home.”

Corps member’s tweet stirs reactions

@Chemmer_F said:

“If people can’t rebel against oppression in their youth, they’ll never rebel in their latter years.

“I fear that they’ve succeeded in caging many young people in this country for life.

“All that energy, all that vigour, yet people can’t stand for anything.”

@Ashokoto said:

“You should have recorded for us.

“Me and you would have shared my own certificate, it’s sitting down useless somewhere under the box 😂.”

@MonsieurEmmy1 said:

“No civil disobedience! This would have been a golden opportunity for everybody to go home and start speaking up. Dare them to deny everybody the nysc certificate.”

@phireman_ said:

“Your certificate is out and ready since your POP in camp ; when you receive it you will see the date on it as that of when you did POP from your NYSC orientation camp , and it’s in your states nysc main secretariat, if you don’t even collect it on that day, you can go to abuja.”

@Ezedavid1994 said:

“In their view, if they can tame NYSC members, they’ve tamed over 180M hungry Nigerians.”

@mowaseife said:

“Talk about the 77k that was promised…NO🤐.

“Threaten people about speaking up…that’s where they’ll find their voice.

“Useless people.”

@UTDobiya said:

“I am sure someone must have recorded it still even after being told to put down phones 😂.”

@Ehbukha said:

“Someone slept. before sleeping, he requested that they should wake him up from sleep when the country gets better, he die from the sleep.”
