Adire and Ankara can’t be the uniform for all NYSC members across the country. We are all not from the SW region.
The current uniform is sexless, detribalized and smart.
NYSC is still one of the few programmes that genuinely promotes national unity by exposing young Nigerians to different cultures, people and ways of life.
Rather than focusing on cosmetic changes like uniforms or ceremonies, we should be addressing the real issues affecting the scheme and investing in practical, long-term entrepreneurship education.
The FG should rethink this.
I can’t lie, I’m disappointed with the Dangote Refinery.
Like many Nigerians, I genuinely believed it would bring relief to the country and help reduce the burden of high fuel prices. Instead, it feels like business as usual.
When crude oil prices increased, fuel prices were raised quickly. Now that crude oil prices have dropped close to the levels when Nigerians were buying fuel for ₦700–₦800 per litre, we are still paying around ₦1,300 per litre.
What makes it even more frustrating is that prices went up in large jumps, but the reductions are coming in small increments of ₦50 per litre at a time.
Nigerians supported and celebrated this refinery because they expected it to make a real difference. It’s only fair for people to ask questions when they are not seeing the relief they hoped for.
How many of your “influencers” have u seen condemn posts like this ??? Oya flip it the other way round and you will see the ‘moralists’ and abosi merchants jump out from their caves.
Desmond, I watched your video.
White DOE shirt, Surulere street, four minutes of complaints about intimidation, coercion, arm-twisting, and people being fired for supporting you.
My brother, where were you for twelve years.
You did not release one street video when the system was delivering you victories you did not build. You said nothing when delegates were being managed on your behalf. You made no statement about free and fair elections when Gbajabiamila was personally on his knees begging Surulere people to accept you. You filmed no emergency appeal when the local government structure was working in your favour.
The system was not fair then either Desmond. You were just on the winning side of its unfairness and it felt like merit.
Now the same machine that manufactured your relevance for 12 years is manufacturing someone else’s victory and suddenly you have discovered democracy and you believe in justice and fair play with the people deserving to choose freely.
After four minutes of crying about intimidation, begging party chieftains to investigate, and appealing to lovers of Desmond Olushola Elliott, you remembered to tell people to vote for Tinubu on the 23rd.
The system is chewing you alive and you are still campaigning for the people running it.
Desmond you are not a victim of this system, you are a product of it, and products do not get to complain when the factory upgrades to a newer model.
Go back to Nollywood. At least there, the script is written before filming begins.

I was at the market to get stuff and these women were just cat calling me.
"Fine boy I get good senator material"
"Nwoke oma you no go like Italian shoe?"
"Fine man come collect strong boxers here"
I've never felt so abused in my life!!
I was shaking till I got home😭😭😭

He made this statement, left the podium without any questions, left the hall unscathed, and got to his office with his job intact!

Timeline is filled with guys tweeting like women to let women understand the gravity of the stupidity in many of their tweets. This is because you won't understand how stupid you sound until a guy says the same thing.
