Although specific details regarding the precise location and state where this NYSC member was posted were not disclosed, Adeiye’s post raised questions about the suitability of her placement.

Adeiye, who claimed to have a personal connection with the young lady, expressed his concerns through a viral tweet, thus bringing the issue to the forefront of social media discussions. His tweet quickly gained momentum, prompting further inquiries into the situation.
To provide more context, Adeiye also shared a follow-up video and a photograph that depicted the young lady in question, announcing the commencement of her work at the local abattoir.

@Olurantowoseeni commented: “Might be laughable but it’s a good idea. The local business owners can gain a lot from an educated person…if they are willing to adapt.”
@iamrenike said; “This is insane!”
@niruha__ said; “She probably studied animal husbandry.”
@TAAdeiyer replied; “Even animal husbandry should get farm, worst case scenario. Vet science or animal husbandry how is it the same as cutting and selling meat in abattoir?”
@CathChisomsTwin said; “Smh NYSC is supposed to foster nation building, and the give the corp member needed work experience to help them kickstart their career. I don’t see how sending a corp member to an abattoir accomplishes any of the above. Wonder what the Corper’s CV will look like with it on it”
@adeshi_agba said; “Had a lawyer friend who was posted to a nursery school. Lol. Imagine been called to bar and then going to do A for apple. Bro wan craze … Twas funny shaa”
