Youth corps member Ushie Rita Uguamaye, popularly known as Raye, has expressed frustration after reportedly being denied her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate upon completing her service year in Lagos State.
Raye, who previously went viral for a controversial video claiming “Lagos is smelling,” and criticising Tinubu’s government, shared her ordeal in a new video, alleging that the Eti Osa Local Government Inspector (LGI) refused to clear her for April despite her presence on the scheduled date.
According to her, she was present for April clearance but was repeatedly told to “go to the back” until the LGI eventually refused to attend to her, seized her file, and ordered her to leave.
Despite the setback, Raye said she has decided to close the chapter and move forward, though she described serving in Lagos State as “a waste of my time.”
In a lengthy post, Corper Raye wrote:
“I was contemplating if I should share this or not, but just decided to. After 1 year of moving to another man’s land, to serve my country, ended with no certificate and telling me to come for final verdict that we already know how it’ll end. I genuinely wish I wasn’t a Lagos state Corper because it’s a waste of my time.
“I can’t say moving here was bad but serving here isn’t all pleasure. Just to add to it, they said the reason I’m not getting my certificate is because I didn’t clear myself for the month of April on my scheduled date. But what they aren’t saying is how I was present to get cleared, yet the LgI kept asking me to go to the back and when she finally wanted to attend to me she said she won’t clear me.
“She seized my file and told me to get out this is a long story and I don’t mind waking up midnight to tell the story. The deep rooted anger I feel and hatred is crazy because I don’t know who to direct it to. But I wish myself the best. And I’m closing this chapter.”
