Rita Dominic, 4 Other Nigerian Celebrities Spotted in Their Hilarious NYSC Throwback Photos

• Being a popular figure isn't enough reason to miss NYSC as long as you schooled in a Nigerian tertiary institution
• A number of celebrities have raised concerns on social media with claims of observing NYSC even when those in their batches insist they didn't see them
• Legit.ng has compiled pictures of some popular music and movie stars who have once shared throwback pictures of their service year

The National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) is mandatory for anyone that has gone through the gates of a tertiary institution in Nigeria and celebrities are not left out.

Although there have been cases of popular figures who find a way to be exempt from the three weeks camping experiences, it is almost impossible to run away from the entire one year programme.

Even during their year of service, these celebrities go the extra mile in keeping a low profile and this is why people find it hard to believe when they make claims of observing NYSC.
