AC chieftain faults Oyo graduate taxi drivers' scheme
By Olalekan Okusan

ACTION Congress (AC) stalwart in Oyo State, Chief Femi Lanlehin, has berated the state government over the use of graduates for its taxi drivers' scheme, arguing that the initiative was "inappropriate" for the targeted group.






In a statement yesterday, Lanlehin also described the initiative as "pathetic" and "debasing."

His words: "It is a pathetic admission by the Oyo State government that it cannot provide relevant jobs in the various disciplines like Civil Engineering, Geology, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Social Sciences and the Liberal Arts for professionals like lawyers, pharmacists, doctors and accounting graduates.

"We ask whether these people need such specialised training on which huge state and family resources have been expended in the universities, to be taxi drivers. Will these well-trained young men and women find fulfillment in their new occupation as taxi drivers?"

The AC chieftain argued that it was obvious that the government has no answer or a policy to address the serious crisis of unemployment in the state.

He said: "The state governor is busy gallivanting all over the world with state funds and throwing frivolous parties without developing the infrastructural base upon which employment generation can be anchored in Oyo State."

Quoting the Director-General of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE), Lanlehin said Oyo State has the highest number of unemployed graduates in the country.

He added: "These university graduates are not only denied gainful employment, they are also fleeced of their meagre sustenance money by asking them to purchase employment forms for N1,500 in 2007, 2008 and 2009 which the said employment were not given.

"This ludicrous and thoughtless measure exposes the state government for what it is - a government with no vision whatsoever, floundering, wobbling and shuffling as the wind blows it and as it approaches the end of its disastrous tenure."

Olabowale, I don't expect you to understand the triune God so, why argue it?

Being lighter does not mean the other person is dark. Agbani cannot be classified as a dark skinned black woman anywhere in the world.

uganda

England or zambia.

Lesotho or Liberia

Well not when they are about to have sex. Religion may influence them to stay married even when divorce is imminent but not how and when to knock up their wives.

Pretoria, south Africa

Angola, Gabon or Namibia

California republic.

Fhemmmy:
So now Biafra is a nation?

According to Udezue.

tpia.:
gbam. The bolded sums up your personal exposure.

@ the rest: you obviously have limited exposure in every other area you mentioned as well.

The Igbos you know have 2-3 children. Others know of Igbos who have more. Maybe in your state (are you Igbo?) there's small families and low birthrate. It doesnt have to apply to everywhere else in Igboland.

End of story.

Or is it that you're wishing its true for your own private reasons?




what does this mean? Are you saying white rev fathers should start having families or do you mean why arent white Cathoilcs having large familes?

Like I explained before, whites as a whole tend not to carry religion on their heads like Africans. In the past, white Catholics also had large families and some still do. The Kennedys for instance. The advent of modern birth control and women's emancipation helped shape the modern smaller family size you see today among whites in geenral and white Catholics in particular.

Believe what you wish but religion has never been a deciding factor in procreation apart from abortions in igboland. Cultural influences dominates religious influences. I am not sure religion has similar impact among other ethnic groups. Do catholic yoruba monogamous families have more children than non catholic monogamous yoruba families?

tpia.:
her younger sister is somewhat pretty but Agbani is prettier, imo. Even with her dark skin.

Their mum isnt bad looking either (is that her in the photo).

Agbani does not have a dark skin.

Enugu is the capital of Biafra.

UNDP and FAO; Tell me the source of your own.

You see my guy, we de feed well here. Only 9% dey undernourished. Put that equation in your less than $1/day 80% and tell me how possible it is.  The only thing we need badly in Nigeria is Jesus and thats what the likes of Oyedepo and Adeboye are trying to achieve. Jesus for all by the year 2020.

Fake story. There is nothing like Calabar state in Nigeria.

New Haven, Enugu. They have coal, bitumen and crude oil.

Protest for somebody not allowing you into their house/country?. Are you kidding me?. That will be a disgrace.

When will Becomerich present his Republic of Benin agenda on TED?

ifyalways:
Emeka when wud u get over your crush for the first daughters,i am getting worried for u now.
@Topic,she looks old and uglier now.IMO

When you convince Yaradua to give one of them to me in marriage.

jibiti:
Oge  will get d rcognition. Nothing is impossible.Maybe b4 the end of the next decade

Not before the likes of Chioma Akpota, Bimbo Akintola, Rita Dominic,Dakore Egbuson, Uche Osotule etc. Oge is a class C Nollywood actress.

semid4lyfe:
Trust Ijaw girl and Ibime to defend someone of their ethnic stock.
She looks too thin. I'm beginning to think modelling (female) is a license to starve one's self.

What about me?. Does my thinking that she is pretty also defending someone of my ethnic stock blindly?. Any opinion different from another in nairaland is regarded as ethnocentrism.

That's what he is working on. It's like Angola is not 100% capitalistic. Business ownership there is a little bit complicated but his anger is why they refused him visa after all he is a citizen of Africa's super power. Will they do the same to an American?

ezeagu:
And do what there?

That's what you will be saying until they fix their country and close their boarders from you.

ezeagu:
Wait, let Benin and Cameroon start making their cash, Nigeria will become a cage. 

Stop drawing BecomeRich out from his cage. He will soon use this opportunity to draw a fiscal plan map on why and how Yoruba, part of ijaw and Benin republic should join forces and become the next South Korea of Africa.

Sisi_Kill:
Yet they call us uneducated 

It doesn't mean the few educated in the north are not functional. As a matter of fact, they will be more functional there because majority of their citizens are illiterates and will take whatever they say hook, line and sinker.

Fhemmmy:
I think there is a need to look for a way to take care of the kids in the North, I am not in support of Sharia, cos it is barbaric and not fair to women, nor poor people.

Don't mind olanaJI that has turned this into a weapon of yabbing the south. What good comes out from sharia?

KunleOshob:
Which ones are you talking about? Is it Erastus Akingbola, or is Cecilia Ibru? Stop deluding your self even your o called pastors are not making their money legally they are all into fraud. They make their money through deception. Which one of them doesn't preach the fraudulent doctrine of tithes? Do you know how many families have been ruined through the false teachings of these con men? You can be rest assured that the hottest place in hell would be reserved for them.
Philippians 3:17-19:

  17 Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. 18 For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 They are headed for destruction[hell]. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth.

God will be the judge and not you. It is the prayer of these saints that still kept Nigeria together. If their prayers cease, Nigeria will turn into Darfur.

Tudór:
You now deny the rampant poverty in this land of ours?
Sorry to disappoint you, studies was conducted by Nigerians verify this.
Produce your own figures if you can.

10-20% of Nigerians live below $10/day. Others live from $50 and up everyday.

My friend is planning to expand his business to Angola. He lives and supplies electrical equipments to companies in Douala after being retrenched from schlumberger 8 years ago,  He has branches in Libreville, Cote d' Ivoire, Accra, PH, Liberia and Durban.  He recently opened another business in Takoradi and tried to enter Angola only for their chamber of commerce to reject his application leading to visa rejection.

Who is prettier among Agbani and yaradua's daughters?

Daughter #2

If this is one benefit of Sharia law, I would careless about it. We don't need sharia law in the south to tell us how to take care of our offspring.

We don't know who is useless between Keyamo and his wife. His wife may be the devil here.
