Publisher's Synopsis
Warning!
This book is dirty because it deals with a dirty subject, which duty compelled the author to write.
At the boyish age of 32 years, Lt.-Col. General Yakubu Gowon, unmarried, began ruling Nigeria and did so uninterrupted for solid 9 years, being the only Nigerian ever so privileged.
He instituted the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme, ostensibly to keep Nigeria one, whereas he had been a party to North's secessionist agenda and to date, has refused to write any book to tell his side of the story.
There is a dark side to the NYSC scheme, which gives latitude for youths to freely express their most base emotions while being protected by isolation and distance from home, with the result that youths, who heretofore were morally chaste, returned home as debauched.
This book, which is written by an insider, throws light on the dark side of the NYSC and shows how the scheme corrupts Nigerian youths and why the scheme should be canceled. "Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny," Edmund Burke said.
