One serving corps
member, Ezemagu Sunday Nnamdi graciously donated
to the president’s re-election bid.
The donation was sent
alongside a concise letter which read in part, “Nigerians are behind you. We
see your good works in power, transportation, education, housing, ICT, sports,
electoral reforms, observation of the principle of federal character and the
creation of investment opportunities. The insurgents who are trying to
destabilize your Administration are enemies of peace and progress. You will
surely defeat them.”

Of course, President Jonathan replied
Sunday, saying “Your gracious gesture is particularly gratifying, coming
as it does from one of our nation’s vibrant and gifted youth who are our
successor generation and for whom our Administration is unequivocally committed
to providing the requisite environment to optimally realize their tremendous
creative and productive potentials. As I carry on with the task of positively
transforming our country for its God-ordained greatness and prosperity, I will
continue to count on the goodwill as well as the practical and prayerful
support of committed patriots like you.”

While many of
them condemned the young man for carrying out such a act, a few others
praised him.
Some say he is trying to get into GEJ’s goo books.
Adebayo Ajayi, a student
of the university of Ibadan said, “Don’t mind him and
the clique. I am sure he is the son of one of them, if not, how did he get
access to the president’s account? Did he go to a bank and ask for the
president’s account or he went to Aso Rock seeking audience with the president
as ‘ordinary’ citizen and is now led before the president to make his donation.
All smells kangaroo. ” and then he jokingly added “Me too I want to donate part
of my pocket money o, which account of Mr President do I pay it into”

Olufemi Adeniyi who reacted on
an online news portal, said “That corper must be among the bad Nigerians
that condone evil. His primary responsibility is to serve Nigeria and not to
finance political party or candidate. In a sane society his money will either
be returned to him or he is excluded from the national service for being
partisan. A Youth Corper serving THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA should not
be partisan, and his primary duties have been politically compromised, this
youth corper is exposing other youth corpers to political attack especially in
a hostile region.

Youth corpers are expected to
be neutral in political matters, and a responsible government must ensure they
are neutral, because youth corpers are used for electoral processes, Imagine if
this youth corper is used as an electoral officer, we know the result in
advance…May be he is buying a good job for himself in the future since majority
of Nigerians do not do things in the normal ways. ”

“There is something called CDS
– Community Development Service – for corps members, he should have donated
that money for a good cause in his community but now he is making his donation
like a drop of water in an ocean.” A fellow serving corps member,
Ifeanyi said.
