Youth Corper’s Video Sparks Outrage Over NYSC Threats
A recent incident involving a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member in Lagos State has sparked significant reactions among Nigerians. The corps member, identified as Rita, posted a video expressing her frustration over the rising cost of living and criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration, referring to it as “terrible.”
Following the video’s circulation, Rita alleged that she received threatening messages from NYSC officials, pressuring her to remove the content. She claimed that an official accused her of insulting the government and demanded the video’s removal. In response, Rita expressed concerns for her safety and stated that she was merely voicing her personal struggles.
The situation has elicited a range of reactions from the public. Prominent comedian and activist Mr. Macaroni addressed the NYSC officials, asserting that corps members have the right to express their views on the president’s performance and should not be threatened or victimized for doing so.
This incident has ignited discussions about freedom of speech, the rights of citizens to critique their government, and the appropriate conduct of public institutions like the NYSC in responding to such criticisms.
