Shortyy:

Cuppy is a fish brain. Doesn't know her left from her right. And the other boy, well.. we all know how he is, not that I'm mocking him or anything.. well you know. And this one now always stays out of drama and minds her business.

That's basically it.

What of Tolani, the eldest child?

zicoraads:



Our entire syllabus for most of these subjects being taught is old and outdated. Unfortunately, those at the helm of affairs are very slow in coming around to effecting the desired change. Several entreaties have been made to the Ministry of Education concerning what needs to be done, but they always decline.

Big private schools on the other hand are at par with what is obtainable outside of Nigeria. If you have your money, do your due diligence and send your kids to very good private schools here. Most of them now use Cambridge syllabuses. Classes like programming and electronics are also taught at secondary school level. But they are darn expensive.

Yeah. Green Springs, Loyola Jesuit, Grange, British International School and the likes. They are very expensive anyway. They cost over 2m per year.

TonyeBarcanista:

I think the boy isn't into her. she may be his side chic you know

I fear so albeit she may not be the side chick but the guy may not just be interested in committing himself to her. To him, she may not be a sufficient wife material or future partner? On the other hand, Cuppy is way too blessed to be tossed around like a nobody when she should be preparing for her marriage in a couple of years(she's presently 25 and she should be due for marriage at the age of 27 based on her pedigree and background).

TonyeBarcanista:
Why is she fond of attaching herself to his posts on social media even when he doesn't acknowledge her?


Billionaire daughter wey de fall hand

I thought I'm the only one that has noticed the imbalance. Cuppy hardly makes it to Asika's Instagram. But, Cuppy is always all over him : commenting on his posts, making videos only she will eventually upload et cetera. I just pray she does not end up being heartbroken. Mr Eazi shows his love to Temi much much better.

President Vladimir Putin rolled into his Helsinki summit with President Trump with a new ride that can compare to the Secret Service-operated 'Beast.'

The Russian strongman arrived in the back of his brand new Aurus Senat limousine in only the second time it has been used since his inauguration earlier this year.

Little is known about the features of the Senat save that it can be fully submerged in water while keeping the occupants safe and runs on tires reinforced with steel to stop them from going flat.



Automobile expert Vyacheslav Subbotin disclosed that Putin's limo features 'an armored capsule' which can withstand heavy gunshots and landmine blasts.

On the communication system, he said: 'The system is internal, it is built entirely on our satellites and is completely in-built into the car which is incredibly important.


The car will stay in touch under any circumstances.

'The defense system is also top level; should there be a chemical attack, the car can shut its windows and remain for a long time underwater, just like a submarine.

'The limo has its unusual gear shift.

It is automatic, and it's hybrid with a generator that can work both as an electric engine and as a generator.'


The body is covered in 15 millimeters of armor plating with a reinforced chassis ensuring the body will not fall apart under stress.

'The body of the car is Russian invention as despite its size and heavy protection it turned out to be quite light.

'The construction deals really well with torsion and bending, there was a lot of strong boron-containing materials used.

The car is almost seven meters long, it is a very serious work indeed.'

The Senat is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter Porsche-developed V8 engine and will replace the adapted Mercedes-Benz Pullman limousine which Russian presidents have used since 1994.


Inside, the limousine is decked out with white leather seats and wood detailing and features a large Russian coat of arms stitched into the door.

LaudableXX:

I did not misread anything. You were advocating for those who were born abroad & schooled abroad, to be exempted from the NYSC scheme. And your silly excuses do not hold water. There is nothing difficult about taking out 1 year to participate in a compulsory national service scheme, in your own country. And saying that they don't have families in Nigeria, is hogwash. They are Nigerians too, for crying out loud. Did their Nigerian parents drop from the sky? There is nothing difficult about spending just one year in Naija. If you cannot do it, then live with the consequences and do not moan about being excluded from getting jobs, in Nigeria. End of story.

Go back & read Silvermoney's response in the first few pages of this thread. It is the best reply to your childish attempts, to make silly excuses for your clique.

You are just throwing insults without putting on your thinking cap but I won't use unprintable words like you - it shows your level of intelligence. Dude, I never said they should be exempted or where on earth did you see that? Is reforms the same as outright exemption?


Have you even read the NYSC Act and the gaps there?

(1). You are not eligible for NYSC exemption letter once you graduated before the age of 30;

(2).The Act is also vague on what happens after the age of 30 upon your ineligibility for exemption letter.



You also said did their "parents" fall from the sky?

Really, so, you failed to see where I pointed out the fact that many of them only have a Nigerian parent(mostly a father) who married a foreigner.
Someone like Dele Alli, under his own circumstances, he had no single family to point at in Nigeria and you expect people like him to come and serve immediately after school?

What about so many of them whose parent(s) died and never took them home, thus, they know no ant or fly in Nigeria?

The reason why I'm making a case for the diaspora is because of brain drain. Many bright Nigerians are building other countries while we wallow in challenges.
These countries also know how valuable they are and they are bent on keeping them while you throw them away!

I always believe there should be a synergy between those who are at home and those in the diaspora.

. The unfortunate thing is that the prejudiced don't see that those back home who are passionate about home and those outside who are passionate about home are on the same team. Sure, one group may not be living in Nigeria, but that doesn't make them automatically removed, or less concerned, or even without knowledge of the workings in the country. That assumption is ignorant at best and spiteful at worst. There are Nigerians abroad who watch the Senate proceedings. You see those boring things they show on NTA that many Nigerians don't even watch? Some people abroad watch them keenly. Nigerians abroad are currently pushing a bill in through House hearings to curb child abuse and molestation. How many Nigerians at home know that? Some Nigerians abroad in their late 30s travel to Nigeria at least once in 2 months for meetings with govt officials and private sector investors on how to beef up cyber security and improve police response time to emergencies through global positioning technology but how many people in Nigeria know? I can go on and on and these are just examples involving people I know personally.

Note : many of these people I mentioned took the decision to be more involved in Nigeria in that 30s after they had gained their foothold on life.

Take a look at this scenario :

A friend born to a Nigeria father (who died while his son was barely 5 years old) finished from MIT in his 20s, immediately he got a fully funded scholarship for his Ph.D. Upon his education, he got a job with NASA and later Microsoft. This guy is one of the top guys in Silicon Valley whose worth is in billions(#) as we speak and he is of Nigerian ancestry.
Now, he is in his 30s and he talks about the plans he has for Nigeria in the area of technology. In fact, Osinbajo(who was in California some days ago) wrote to him and he requested to meet with him.

Now, this guy is being poached by an agency in U.S but he is more passionate about Nigeria at the moment - he plans returning home soon but he is confused on what NYSC Act has in store for him since he is no longer eligible for NYSC exemption letter and the Nigerian government is greatly interested in him.

Now, what do you want him to do with NYSC?

Remember, he has no root in Nigeria (he does not even know his state or any family member since his Dad died quite early and he never got to meet anyone) and thus he could not have easily returned for NYSC in his 20s(he also could not have turned down a fully funded Ph.D scholarship when he is being catered for by a single mother).

Be objective and fair.

LaudableXX:


Thank you, o jare. May God bless you for speaking the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!



You are making silly excuses, and defending the indefensible! Stop it.... In what way does NYSC alienate anybody from abroad? Do you know how ridiculous you sound?

You misread the whole article. It's focused on those who were born and brought up there not those who have been in Nigeria for the most part of their lives before traveling out to study. For the former, it's more difficult for them to immediately return home for NYSC since many of them don't have families in Nigeria.

vegasjonz:
One politician for my country worth more than all of em put together

False. What is Nigeria's total annual income? Do you know just Apple is richer than Lagos State? The economy of just a state in the United States (California) is bigger than that of all African states put together. California even has a bigger economy than Russia, Italy etc. Google it.

Nigeria's economy is primarily based on oil and we are not as wealthy as we think - compared to countries like the U.S who has diversified economy.

Buckubuck:


He not only got ur point, he twisted it with both hands and disposed of it carefully, straight into the bin. Your article is self-serving at best. And is a call to those who have systematically denigrated Nigerian education to go ahead and save themselves any inconveniences of the result better. It is why our president, vice-president and Senate President all have kids who graduated last year in UK universities but none of them have been seen wearing nysc uniform, whereas children of masses who attended the broken universities are transferred to borno, yobe and Adamawa as sport for their BH foot soldiers

You see, you don't understand me. I'm not talking about those based in Nigeria. I'm talking about about those who were born abroad and whose family live there. The people I'm talking about I've never stayed or lived in Nigeria but they are doing great where they are. Yet, they still see themselves as Nigerians and they desire to contribute. Many of them decided to move to Nigeria quite late in their career (when they are above 30 and are no longer eligible for NYSC exemption letter).
I'm not making a case for the political class but for the young Nigerians abroad whose parents migrated there : people in the category of Leon Balogun and Dele Alli.
That's my point.

goaldynboy:


It seems you don't really know the meaning of Exemption Certificate! It doesn't take anything to get an Exemption Certificate! All it will take your friend that you just described to get it is to apply and state that he is over 30years and pay the requisite fees! That all! So why are you blabbing like getting an Exemption is like going to the moon?!

You are wrong sir. Check the Law. The NYSC Act stipulates that only those who graduated after the age of 30 are eligible for the exemption letter. In this case, Kemi is not eligible for an exemption letter(since she graduated in her early 20s).

Many young Nigerians abroad make that decision to return home quite too late when they are already above 30.

kayjay69:
Bros I struggle to see what point you are making here. No one is alienating or trying to alienate Nigerians who were born, brought up and educated abroad. However the law is the law and the law (until changed) states it clearly that if you are below 30 and wish to work in or serve the country in some capacity whether elected or appointed, you are required to serve with the NYSC for just 1 year.

I served in the NYSC for 1 year. During my service year, I had several batch mates who schooled abroad but came back to serve. There was a babe I remember quite well whose father was a Senator from the SE during the 2nd republic and who works in Goldman Sachs (NY, LA and London when she came to serve) but she took time out to serve. I knew several girls and guys who did same but schooled abroad, some were born there, some were born here, it doesn't matter, the law is the law. If you are above 30 as she was, just obtain an exemption certificate, they are not hard to get, just apply with the proper supporting documents and it will be given to you.

If it is true she is guilty of forgery, it is a big shame not just on her but on all of us as Nigerians in the eyes of the world. Look it's bad enough we all know for sure the President's WAEC result was a hatchet job and till date he's yet to produce his real result but to have this is simply unfair on Nigerians regardless of ethnicity and religion. Take note that why this is grevious is because of the platform on which this admin campaigned vigorously. You can't fight corrupt and yourself be using forged certificates. It just doesn't add up.

Brilliant bro.

However, the NYSC Act stipulates that only those who graduated after the age of 30 are eligible for the exemption letter. In this case, Kemi is not eligible for an exemption letter.

Many young Nigerians abroad make that decision to return home quite too late when they are already above 30.

MOGPRAISE:




Well spoken but she must be investigated

Yeah. She must be investigated and punished if found guilty.

adaweezy:

He can apply for exemption and be granted, my colleague in the office applied and was granted.

The NYSC act stipulates that only those that graduated after the age of 30 are eligible for exemption letter.

How did he achieve his?

PrecisionFx:




""she should never have forged it, that's criminal and totally unacceptable""

This ur statement nullifies ur useless elongated article.

"Useless" to you but golden to others. The article is only being objective and fair to fellow Nigerians who are perhaps lost abroad.

vowsng:
Who wrote this rubbish?
Aren't you aware of exemption? No matter how many years you stay abroad you can always apply to be mobilized for NYSC or apply to NYSC for exemption certificate if you are above 30 years.

You are only eligible for exemption if you graduated after the age of 30. She graduated before 30.

eph12:

He's not eligible to apply for exemption?

Yes. He is not eligible because he graduated before the age of 30.

osazsky:
op stop all this ur long stories, y didn't she apply for exemption, forgery is worst than impersonation and punishable by law,d least she can get is 7, years,but expect bubu to turn deff ears on this,,,,,, for depriving other candidate who had same cert and qualification d opportunity to serve,if u ask me she is very selfish

The article as seen above totally condemned the alleged forgery by Mrs Kemi Adeosun. The article also posited that the Minister must face the law. Nevertheless, the article opined that young bright minds of Nigerian ancestry who were unfortunately born and brought up abroad but are desirous of working for a better Nigeria should not be alienated from contributing to our national development due to their lack of participation in NYSC.

We should seek to integrate our administrative and technological wiz kids the same way we brought Alex Iwobi, Leon Balogun, Carl Ikeme and co to our fold.

Nigeria needs its best brains to return to the country now. We've suffered a lot from brain drain.

Silvermoney:


This so-called clamour for reform is clearly a veiled, indirect defence of Kemi. That's why it can't hold water. Seriously.

The only reform is to scrap the NYSC altogether, and even then, this occasion of Kemi's criminal action is the worst period to advance such a cause.

Lol. Did you go through the article at all? I clearly posited that she must face the law and prosecuted if found guilty.

I'm only making a case for our brothers and sisters abroad. For instance, I had a Fellowship program at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania last year.
I met a Nigerian American(born and brought up in USA) who has worked with NASA and Microsoft. He has only been to Nigeria once but I can tell you he is passionate about the country like everyone of us here.

Now, he finished university at the age of 20 and he got a top job immediately as he graduated cum laude.
He has worked for over 10years in U.S and he plans moving to Nigeria soon to help push the frontiers of sustainable engineering.
Imagine this scenario now, he is in his 30s but wants to move to Nigeria(not for the money but the desire to make impact). What if at the age of 36, there is an opening for a staff in the Ministry of Science and Technology, then, he decides to apply but he is strucked out due to the fact that he did not participate in NYSC?

Is that fair on him?

I equally don't want Nigeria to experience more brain drain. It's affecting us. I have no business with the Minister - I'm more concerned about Nigeria and its growth.

Collyno82:
so much emphasis on Nigeria needs its best brain abroad, does it mean we don't have best brain here in Nigeria we can make use of, or is it a complex issue

There should be a synergy between those in the country and abroad. The same way Musa synergize with Iwobi in our national team.

Silvermoney:


This argument is incoherent and even insulting. It's neither here nor there. So what you're saying is that those who lived and schooled abroad should be automatically exempted from NYSC, while those who had the misfortune of schooling here in Nigeria should suffer the inconvenience and misery of NYSC. Yet, in spite of this huge sacrifice of the latter, the 'abroad schooled' ones should later be allowed to enjoy the spoils of public office over and ahead of those who paid their dues locally by 'serving' their fatherland via NYSC?

It's a ridiculous argument.

It's better to call for the total scrapping of NYSC, rather than try to rationalise or excuse these so-called abroad folks.

You are not getting the point. I never expressly claimed those abroad should be automatically exempted. Rather, there must be a reform that will ensure they are integrated and not alienated in the scheme of things.

obaataaokpaewu:
Oga if they come back, they can still go for the exemption certificate the right way and not through "Oluwole"

I think the exemption only covers those who graduated after the age of 30 not those before the age of 30.

baby124:
She should never have forged the certificate. I don’t think the certificate is required for private employment however.

She should never have forged it(if the reports are true). If she's found guilty, she must be prosecuted.
She should have maintained her lane and not soil her hands.

IamPatriotic:


Stop making silly excuses, it's unethical.

I'm definitely not making any excuse. I'm only being objective and fair - especially to our fellow brothers and sisters abroad. If the Minister is found guilty, she must be prosecuted.


Nevertheless, NYSC somewhat alienate Nigeria from some of its best brains in the diaspora.

els0nm0rali:
Do we need to keep repeating ourselves?

This should be investigated in-depth.

If she's found guilty she should be given a lengthy jail term.

All the senators that were aware of her forgery but still cleared her for blackmail purposes should be charged to court and jailed too.

That's how to run a country. A prosperous country.


Those Nigerians that studied oversees can be exempted from NYSC only if they've lived most of their lives abroad. My opinion.

The Senators, if the news report by PT is true, are all accomplices.

On the other hand, most children of Nigerian political class don't take really take part in NYSC. All our Governors and Senators children largely school abroad and they don't ever fully take part in NYSC.

NYSC is mostly felt by the poor and not too influential Nigerians.

Ziggylady:

Blablablabla!!...epistle for zombies

The question is..must she forge an NYSC certificate?..What is it with Nigerians forging and doctoring documents?...its an epidemic indeed.

The article as seen above totally condemned the alleged forgery by Mrs Kemi Adeosun. The article also posited that the Minister must face the law. Nevertheless, the article opined that young bright minds of Nigerian ancestry who were unfortunately born and brought up abroad but are desirous of working for a better Nigeria should not be alienated from contributing to our national development due to their lack of participation in NYSC.

We should seek to integrate our administrative and technological wiz kids the same way we brought Alex Iwobi, Leon Balogun, Carl Ikeme and co to our fold.

Nigeria needs its best brains to return to the country now. We've suffered a lot from brain drain.

KEMI ADEOSUN'S ALLEGED NYSC CERTIFICATE SCANDAL : A BIGGER PICTURE TO IT.

Kemi Adeosun was born, bred and brought up in the United Kingdom. She spent the first 30years of her life there. She equally had all her education in the U.K and hatched her career there, also. For clarity purposes, I understand and fully support the general opinion that she must face the law - she should never have forged it, that's criminal and totally unacceptable (albeit if the facts provided by Premium Times are totally correct).

Nevertheless, on a general note, we must also be fair to Nigerians in diaspora(those born and brought up there and perhaps to equally those who moved there as young chaps with their families in search of greener pasture). Economic and other challenges have forced many Nigerians outside of Nigeria despite the love they have for their country. Most of them got married abroad and gave birth to children who are as well very passionate about Nigeria and its development. For instance, a bright young boy born to Nigerian parents who grew up in California - graduated from Stanford and Harvard then got a Job with the United Nations. He rose through the ranks after over 15years of service. Then, at the age of 40, he plans to return to Nigeria with a view to contribute his own quota to Nigeria's development. What will be his fate having not participated in NYSC ab initio and he is over 30 years of age? Remember, he never chose to be born outside of Nigeria or live/study outside of the country.

I believe for we to attain greater heights in Nigeria, we will need our brothers and sisters making waves in other countries. We should not strike them out totally via NYSC.

While I firmly believe that Kemi Adeosun should be prosecuted if found guilty of all the allegations, we must equally look at the bigger picture here - bright young minds of Nigerian ancestry who could not serve in the NYSC must not be alienated from nation building and national development.

The current Nigerian super eagles team is made of many players who were born to a Nigerian father by "foreign" mothers. Hence, they possess dual citizenship. Consequently, they've spent the most part of their lives abroad. Yet, they still proudly wear the green and white jersey - giving their all to their fatherland.

Today, we are always proud of Anthony Joshua, Alex Iwobi, Leon Balogun, Troost Ekong, Carl Ikeme et cetera. In fact, we are very quick and proud to link the likes of Adesanmi Mbappe, Dele Alli, Alaba(Bayern Munich player), and so many others to Nigeria because they are of Nigerian ancestry.

What of other Nigerian geniuses making waves in NASA, World Bank, United Nations, Boeing, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple,Google, Deloitte and the likes that we will need their expertise/experience in our NNPC, Ajaokuta, Nigerian Army, political offices, technological hubs and the likes in the future or even as urgent as now?

In view of all these, I posit that Kemi Adeosun should face the law but we must not alienate people of Nigerian ancestry from our public service who for one reason or the other could not make up the NYSC scheme - which itself needs to be reformed.

Nigeria needs all its best brains to be in Nigeria, now! Nothing should be a roadblock or a bottleneck.

God bless Nigeria.
