Omotola Pleads With Buhari To Scrap NYSC, Gives Reasons

 In an
interview with NewTelegraph, the ex-model
made it known that she has never been attracted
to any man other than her husband. She also
made known her wish to have Buhari scrap NYSC.
Read excerpts below:
 Have you ever been been attracted to any
man apart from your husband?
No! I’ve never been attracted to any man other
than my husband. My husband is sweet; he’s very
cute, handsome and attractive. He’s the one man
I have always been attracted to all my life.
What do you have for those who have been
wishing that your marriage had hit the rocks a
long time ago?
They should keep wishing. That’s all I have to say.
Three things you cherish about your husband.
Oh my hero, my pillar of support, my ever cute
captain. I admire and respect him for his
calmness, dignity and his love and fear for God.
So much I cherish about him, he’s one in a
million.
Do you still wash your husband’s clothes and
cook for him?
Well, he’s sitting next to me (pointing at her
husband). Maybe, you should ask him.
What advice do you have for President
Muhammadu Buhari?
He should scrap NYSC. It’s not useful, he should
please do that for Nigerians. Our children don’t
need it anymore.
Why do you want NYSC scrapped, knowing
fully well it’s a national orientation
programme?
I have looked at the programme thoroughly and
exactly what it’s supposed to have achieved over
the years. Believe me, there is no credible or
tangible result. It’s a total waste of time and
resources and I think all the time and resources
should be channelled into something more
resourceful.
For instance, I have had situations where some
members of my staff, in the name of NYSC, left
for a year only to come back and their spaces had
been taken by another. You can imagine. NYSC is
not just adding any value to our society or even
to the lives of our children. I am of the opinion
that it should be scrapped.
So what other useful and relevant
programmes do you suggest?
Skills acquisition. We have had situations whereby
the young ones, after graduation, are with no
jobs. They start roaming the streets or even go
into crime to survive. This is an urgent situation
that needs to be addressed.
Let us make good plans for our children, instead
of going to waste a whole year of their struggle,
claiming they are serving their fatherland. They
should be trained and equipped with skills. That
way, their future is secure.
If you were offered a ticket to contest for the
seat of a governor in your state and it’s
confirmed you will win, would you consider
the offer?
I won’t accept the offer; but maybe, if it’s in
Lagos, I will accept the offer.
