Nigerian actress, Omotola Jalade has reacted to the poor treatment of corps members by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Taking to her Twitter page, the popular actress asked parents why they allow their children to engage in the National Youth Service, asking if it is compulsory.
She wrote;
I still maintain what I said about this program some years Ago. Is this compulsory? Why do you accept to do this and put yourself in harms way? Why do parents Allow their children do this? @inecnigeria is this how you should threat ppl’s children “serving” Nigeria?
Until we are all individually ready to be defiant and stand against injustice and degradation, these Abuses won’t stop. It starts in the Mind. Rise above the excuses, the “pity me” , ” its hustle” , ” its poverty” syndrome . You’re worth More. What more can I say. Im exhausted.”

Serving the country is becoming less desirable. Youths serving aren’t treated with dignity.
