The latest news in town now is president buhari denying his assent to the Peace Corps bill, it was greeted with mixed reaction from the general public.



but One thing I have noticed is that those who accepted that i was in the best interest of the country are more than the opposing side...

Let me sight this few reasons why they aren't in our interest..


1) Nigeria spend over 70% of its budget on recurrent [/b]expenditure leaving less than 30% for capital project, if we continue like this do you think if we continue like this we will have the Nigeria of our dreams?? Payment of salaries have always been a burden to the Fg adding another burden to it under the guise of employment is not right it will only be a bulwark to Nigeria's development. Why can't we utilize our meager resources to better things instead of creating another agency with no specific work.

[b]2) Too many para military
Nigeria has more than 3 para military already all bearing arms, and doing there jobs effectively coupled with there problems. Approving the Peace Corps will just be another way for the corrupt Oga's at the top of siphoning our money.

3) overzealous and corruption we all know how our police, Army and other Armed Forces misuse power in the past and even presently, an NGO who is just starting it course is already hood winking gullible Nigerians,collecting money from volunteers.
What will be our faith. In the street you will see a Peace Corps volunteer asking you do you know me?? All those doesn't make sense.. instead of another para-millitary why can't we channel the resources to our police who is over stressed and better equip them with modern wares..

alenwup:
You mean you don't know how they approved the bill? The stooges were heavily bribed. Quote me

Themandator:
Security of a nation is not an avenue for employment generation. It is a selfless service in protection of humanity.

If any those guys who have enlisted in the corps is actually service driven, he or she should find his way either to the police or defence academy.

Olusegunjaye:

You people should look at it from another angle, cut down the senators budget and implement this program. People don't have jobs really. I feel for them. if you want peace, be prepared for war.

kyn1:
Those reasons are not substantial bro, have you ever thought about the level of unemployment in this country??, i bet you don't have a month to feed, when you do, you will know what mess this is.!!!

salvation101:
Does his not assenting to it mean the other existing ones will be strengthened? Our security is nothing to write home about. The other time Nigerians demanded police reform, wht has been the result of that? The police is so unreliable and i think the civil defense are doing a better job than them. We need more security outfits since the police is beyond redemption

Mr. Know all, I believe you are Myopic in your knowledge of what peace corps is. So let me educate you
1.peace corps is not even under the ministry of defense but under the ministry of youth and sports development
2. Do Nigeria have more paramilitary than the USA, Canada etc?? Yet they have peace corps
3. No duplication of duty between the corps and any other security at all. Go and read the duties of the Nigerian peace corps.
4. Signing the bill would have being a source of employment to the poor Nigerians who don't have godfather.
5. same criticism happened in the case of civil defense but are they not contributing positively to the development of the country??
There are a lot of things you need to know.

KENZINCO:
This is the only decision in my life that I have supported Buhari on. But that doesn't mean I will vote for him in 2019

zicoraads:
Refusing to assent to it was the best decision ever. Sometimes I wonder how some of our leaders think. Why did the National Assembly approve of it in the first place?

Instead strengthen the already existing ones while adding more officers to the ones we already have.

Segmat1:
Financial constraint is one of the reason why Buhari did not assent peace corps bill abi,but there is money for cattle colony.2019 election downloading.........

Mekus68:
Op, when Buhari, during his campaign, promised to create millions of jobs for the unemployed youths, where ware you & him expecting their salaries to come from.


You fulani slaves better stop talking from both sides of your mouth.
