A Female corps member, Miss
Tolutope Ekundayo, has been prohibited from participating in the ongoing
orientation programme in the Ogun State NYSC camp for allegedly refusing to
wear trousers – Imagine that!!!
Ekundayo, who spoke with
reporters after a press conference organised by the General Overseer, Faith
Revival Apostolic Church, Apostle Paul Adenuga in Lagos, said she was thrown
out of the camp.
According to Ekundayo, females
wearing trousers contravened her Christian belief – oh so other female
Christians in the camp have two heads, right?
Tolulope said, “I faced a panel
and I was directed to submit all the kits that were given to me on the camp,
which I did. There was also an order that I should go to the account unit and
refund the N2, 500 transport and bicycle allowances paid to me when I arrived
at the camp and I did so. All these happened on the same Friday that they
ordered me to leave the camp.
“I want to serve my fatherland and if NYSC
will allow me to wear skirts, I am ready to return to the Orientation Camp. My
khaki and white skirts were made in such a way that they did not give me any
problem.
I was in Platoon Four and I
participated actively in all the exercises from Tuesday to the Friday that I
was thrown out of the camp.”
what a story
