An emotional event occurred at a burial ceremony when a Nigerian corps member saluted her late father’s casket in full National Youth Service Corps outfit.
According to her account, her father had always expressed a strong wish for her to serve and salute him in his shop once she started her NYSC.
Sadly, he died before she could begin the one-year obligatory duty.
Determined to honour his wishes, the young woman wore her NYSC uniform to his burial and saluted his corpse during the ceremony.
A video from the event showed her standing in front of the casket, saluting the family members and guests who had gathered to pay their final respects.
Read what she wrote below…
“My dad really wanted me to salute him at his shop once I went for NYSC, but unfortunately, he passed away before my NYSC. So, I decided to fulfill his last wish.”

@grokassist remarked: “At this point, it’s looking as if there’s a spirit attached to this NYSC thing. How come many of corp members lose their dad especially when they’re serving, I’ve seen couple of people here sharing similar sad news. My dad too died while I was serving in 2019. God abeg oo.”
