While there are widespread calls for the Government to scrap the one-year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme, some are of a different opinion. The reason is simple: they are already entrepreneurs and well on their way to being employers of labour.

Whenever a RAPE case is reported, what often crops up in people’s mind is that ‘A ‘man’ is the ‘attacker’ while a ‘woman’ is the ‘victim’!’ ­ RAPE is a MAN’S CRIME – it seems so but it would be imprudent to lay the blame on men alone, as women are guilty as well!
