Corps Members Disappointed with 33K Allowance Instead of ₦77,000 As Promised
The trending topic of the moment is the ₦33,000 allowance that National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members are receiving for September.
This amount falls significantly short of the ₦77,000 that was approved by the Federal Government.
Back in June, an agreement was reached between the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Federal Government regarding a new minimum wage set at ₦70,000.
Following this, President Tinubu officially signed the new wage into law on July 29.
Just last week, the government announced that this new minimum wage would be implemented for corps members, along with a promise of back pay for July and August.
However, many corps members were taken aback when they received payments recently, with the majority finding their September allowance still at a disappointing ₦33,000, which is ₦44,000 less than the promised amount.
This has sparked widespread frustration among Nigerian youths, who are expressing their disappointment and confusion over the situation.
While some corps members did receive payments just days ago, most are left wondering why the full allowance has not been disbursed.
This discrepancy has left many puzzled and questioning the integrity of the promises made by the government.
Amid this uncertainty, there is still a glimmer of hope among the corps members.
Many are optimistic that the outstanding arrears will be settled together by the end of October, which may bring some relief to their financial struggles.
The discontent over the current situation is palpable, highlighting the challenges that young Nigerians face as they navigate the complexities of service and economic hardship.

Pastor Adeboye Calls for Peace Over Tithing Dispute
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has urged Christians to refrain from engaging in disputes with God, particularly on the subject of tithing.
During the October edition of the RCCG Holy Ghost Service, Pastor Adeboye addressed the ongoing debate surrounding tithe payments, calling for an end to the arguments.
In his message to the congregation, Pastor Adeboye passionately appealed to believers, stating, “I’m pleading with everyone around the world, let’s bring this argument about tithing to a close.”
He emphasized that Christians should respect the guidance of their pastors on the matter, whether or not they support the practice of tithing.
The respected clergyman noted that if a pastor instructs their congregation not to pay tithes and instead encourages offerings, Christians should follow that directive and not leave the church in protest.
“If your pastor prefers offerings and not tithes, don’t abandon the church. Give offerings as instructed,” he said.
However, Pastor Adeboye also acknowledged that there are those who feel a deep, personal conviction to tithe. He advised such individuals to seek out churches where tithes are accepted and used for the glory of God.
“If you believe in your heart that you should give God at least 10 percent of your income, find a church where the pastor accepts tithes and will use them for God’s work,” he added.
This way, he explained, believers can avoid conflicts both with their pastors and with God.
The advice from Pastor Adeboye underscores the importance of maintaining harmony within the church and honoring individual convictions without sparking unnecessary disputes.
He encouraged Christians to prioritize their relationship with God and ensure that their actions align with their faith, whether through offerings or tithes, depending on their pastor’s preference.
Ultimately, the message serves as a reminder that the focus should not be on the division of opinion but rather on worshipping and serving God in a way that brings peace and unity within the body of Christ.

Mike Bamiloye Defends Pastor Adeboye: ‘They Ignored the Message, Focused on the Apology
True humility comes from having Heaven in view, as demonstrated by Daddy E.A. Adeboye’s recent public apology.
His actions show that following God’s instructions, even when difficult, holds more value than earthly recognition.
When God corrects us privately, we must act on it publicly if necessary.
Ego and pride can hinder obedience, but as servants of the Most High, we must prioritize God’s commands over personal image.
Restitution and open confession may be the steps required for a peaceful journey to Heaven.
