Sense! Yorubas are acting very unwise

TroubleMaker47:

Leave the hypocrites.
I remember them screaming, Lagos is yoruba and yoruba is Lagos, others can go to hell!
Forgetting that Lagos was once an FCT hence the entire nation pulled their resources to make Lagos work!.
What's most hurtful about that dammed law was that it compelled ALL schools!(private and public).
If Ambode is not part of Nigerias disunity then i wonder
Who is!

Idrismusty97:
This is a stûpid bill. What if the indigenes lack the experience which is obviously the most important for most companies? That means extra cost in training while the government doesn't provide any incentive for the companies. If i were an investor because of this bill i will stay clear from Akwa Ibom and just invest in the neighboring state like Calabar instead.

The kind Tax CRSG will knack you ehn!
Infact you go just lock up ur office.
Those guys are not smilin'when it comes to Tax, they survive on Tax like U.K
Their 13% derivation is not much, &they have a very effective Tax drive to generate Internally as a result.
But this does not stop you from investin'in the Peoples' Paradise, they make good use of ur Tax mon€¥.

Best bet sit down on a round table behind closed doors &negotiate with Govt.officials, CLO on how the employment quota gonna look like.

Most Companies coming into Rivers State usually adopt this system.
The reason behind "Community Chance" slogan in P.H where Indigenes are given opportunity to work via their CLO whether they qualify or u put 'em thru' Trainin'

Infact Corpers posted to Rivers were restrained from posting to companies so as to not take up the few available vacancies mearnt for their own indigenes when they return from service from other part of the country. This was what the previous Govt did.

Rivers Corpers must Teach or if u know ur way u can always fix urself somewhere &earn xtra ca$h!

Though Some CLO do sell some genuine slots to whoever that is interested especially to non-indigenes who can afford to pay Ca$h!

Very good... Buh this can't happen in Lagos because clowns from Osun, Oyo, Ekiti etc will come and be claiming Lagosians, instead of going back to their states of origin....

Dareal90s:

Yoruba's will never do this, that's y we flourish in our endeavours, we employ d capable ones not because u ar a Yoruba then u automatically get employment, never. If someone from Kaduna or Delta has the highest experience nd capability he gets d job. This spurs us to work more, study more nd gain more experience.

schoolboij:
Ibos will not complain now until Yorubas enact their own in Lagos.

You actually do know them.

Terrible set of people.

DogCynophile:
Funny bill. As if they hire any other tribe except their own.... if you know you know.

Stayed there for more than 3years..if you ain't from there forget it ..

Gerrard59:
Apologies, but this bill if signed will be a nonsensical one. Most folks in the state, I've to say, lack simple work ethic! As simple as it's, it's lacking. Last I checked, businesses don't employ based on sentiments (except ailing businesses. Which is why there are ailing). The bill is ridiculous!

Nigerians express shock over rot in Akwa Ibom public schools


June 8, 2018Cletus Ukpong


Nigerians have expressed shock and angst over the rot in Akwa Ibom public schools following PREMIUM TIMES’ damning investigative series on how corruption, poor government planning, and outright neglect has ruined the education sector in one of Nigeria’s richest states.

Akwa Ibom has multinationals like Mobil, an affiliate of the American oil giant, ExxonMobil, drilling oil in the state. And because of its contributions to Nigeria’s oil earnings, Akwa Ibom regularly receives more money from the Federation Account every month than each of the other 35 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

This is beside the revenue the state generates internally.

In five years alone, between 2013 and 2017, the state received N1.029 trillion (about $2.8 billion) from the country’s Federation Account, for instance.

Yet classrooms in several public primary and secondary schools in the state are shamefully dilapidated and roofless, while pupils and students, in some cases, sit on bare floor to learn, according to the series which started running in the paper on May 23.

The reports also show low morale, incompetence, and corruption among ill-equipped and poorly-paid teachers who sometimes go for several months without pay.

Corruption trickles down from the officials of the education ministry, to the school principals, and to the teachers, one school principal admitted to PREMIUM TIMES in one of the reports.

Ministry officials on routine inspection visits to secondary schools constantly demand gift items like tissue papers, mobbing sticks, and soaps from principals, said the school principal who is also an official of the All Nigeria Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), in the state.

“If you don’t give in to the demands of the ministry officials visiting your school, be ready to have your promotion and other entitlements delayed because of the negative report they will surely write after the visit,” she said.

While successive administrations in the state appeared careless about the rot, most people in the state, including low-income earners, now prefer to send their children to expensive private schools sprouting up rapidly in different parts of the state.

Truthcat:
[s]Must you keep saying nonsense to feel good about yourself?

The Colonists described Lagos as "the richest, where the money is."

Lagos built Nigeria, it puts in $100 and get $2 in return, no resources from anywhere came to Lagos. What resources do you even have to begin with? Yorubaland is still footing over 50% of Nigeria's bill, so what the hell is this Fct nonsense? Do you lose your identity because of your tenant? Fct was our freeloader tenant that didn't bring anything but took everything from Lagos and has since moved somewhere else but still leeching us.The English met Lagos a rich place and that's why they chose it after trying others, same reason you all have been running there in droves up till now.[/s]

MetaPhysical:


Actually it needs to happen. It's job protection and can be for state or region. In which case Yoruba can do a regional job protection for their indigenes. It's a good lead and I like what Akwa Ibom has done.

Optional09:


You are deceiving yourself, did you know how many intelligent young Yoruba graduates are dying of depression, psychological related illness; because they can’t find a job after graduating, wasting away at the Paraga joint.

Wo! Our people are dying, ti won ba’n tan e, o je ma tan ara e

Aabo oro lan’un so fun omoluwabi

speedyGonzales:
I like it. Onofiok Luke good one.

If FG did like that the Chinese may have a little bit more respect for Nigerians they hire.

In UK to hire a foreigner, you have to get a permit from government and proof that you can't find anyone within the country that possess that skills to do that job. The should also be a National database for all the unemployed with access to their CV's so employers can easily checkup for these people and government can provide jobs more easily to Nigerians.

Truthcat:
It's not your fault at all, Yoruba gave you the opportunity to talk. If they had shed the chicken approach to things and put their foot down, you won't crawl out of a mud hell to come and be dividing land between a family and concerned yourself with what Yoruba do in their land.

TroubleMaker47:

Yes! The same way Abuja is the 2nd richest, currently feeding Nigeria too!
If Nigerian didn't build Lagos what revenue source did?
Atleast b4 the industrys came up?
Why do u think the HQ of several companies are domiciled in Lagos if not for proximity to seat of power.
