When you people learn that ouija boards are freaking toys?

The part I don't understand is why Obasanjo signed an agreement that the money be remitted to Bagudu.

Well, rather than accuse any government, I'll rather chill to know the details of the contract. I believe the story and details is bigger than what we see here on Nairaland

Misleading information the FG Agrees that the entire sum will be paid to the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), and will be used in expediting the construction of the three major infrastructure projects across Nigeria – namely Lagos – Ibadan Expressway, Abuja – Kano Expressway and the Second Niger Bridge. But agent of misinformation and fake news saying the opposite like the money will be send to Kebbi state or governor Bagudu

Championing 5 personal Community Development Service projects in Kwara within 5 months in my service year was a major breakthrough for some communities forgotten in the rural. With the zeal of meeting the 2030 targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) I could lead World Suicide Prevention Day Campaign/Conference/Rally in Kwara which saved lives and hit national newspaper and local radio stations, sensitize over 1200 students across 4 secondary schools in Edu LGA, Kwara, provide school uniforms to indigent pupils and pair of a dozen classroom chairs to LGEA Primary School Ndeji, Edu LGA, in a bit to lift pupils from writing on the floor and provide Sabongeri-Ndeji a borehole within a month.
Under the mentorship of Enene Akonjom Foundation, I was able to meet up with my targets before the termination of my service year. I dedicated the first 5 months of my service year preparing, planning, strategizing and carried out needs assessment in Edu LGA. I pasted over 9 plans on the walls of my room and woke up to them.
World Suicide Prevention Day Campaign/Conference and Rally was the first project which was made possible through collaboration from over 18 organizations in Kwara State. My kind of zeal was unstoppable, I could approach any government and private organizations seeking for partnership. All resources and funds needed were contributed from different organizations. Most of them where people who were readily committed to the cause of Suicide prevention, one of which is Suicide and Depression Awareness Foundation (SADAF) who linked me up freely with what my money can’t afford. My call for volunteers ushered in UNILORIN students with burning zeal for humanitarian services. At this point I could use the power of collaboration with energetic youths to achieve the global goals. The Nigerian Red Cross Society was of a great assistance with their volunteers, technical advice and resources. The Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development offered up their hall for our conference. Linkage from volunteers gave us free airtime to use UNILORIN FM for suicide prevention sensitization. The outcome of the whole event was pushed to feature in the Guardian Newspaper, all for free. Thanks to Mentally Aware Nigeria Initiative (MANI) who gave professional and technical assistance to my team. We utilized online campaign, billboard and radio stations (Harmony Fm and UNILORIN Fm) to reach out to Kwara people and suburbs.
I came across a primary school in Edu (LGEA Primary School, Ndeji), where pupils sit on the floor to learn. I was triggered with empathy for those children and took some snapshots while sitting on same floor with them. I was certain I could lift them from sitting on the floor to learn. I began to seek support from NGOs who could be of help to give these children a more quality education. The advocacy was coupled with the provision of school uniforms to 15 indigent pupils in same school who have no access to it. Enene Akonjom Foundation and Leave Impact for Eternity (LIFE) Foundation made donations which lead to the construction of pair of dozen classroom chairs and 15 school uniforms. The cost of the chair construction was reduced through mutual collaboration with the community Timber Association to assist supply wood at a 50% discount.
October 2019, I set out to sensitize over 1000 students across 4 secondary schools in Edu LGA, on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Teaching the SDGs in secondary schools was a major target to raise the next generation social change-makers, who do not see problems from the perspective of government’s failure but as a global challenge that needs collaborative actions to make the world a better place to be.
December 2019, I volunteered for the SDG Family Activation (World Largest Lesson) anchored by DEAN Initiative, to extend the SDG sensitization to a community in Edu LGA called Sabongeri-Ndeji. The outcome of the sensitization exposed the only source of drinking water which was bad and pitiable. The community pleaded me to save them from the health danger they face with the water. I quickly took snapshots of the situation in NYSC uniform and uploaded to Twitter (@sam_unleash) seeking for intervention. I look it upon myself to advocate for them until it comes across their saviour. I collaborated with Mr Kehinde Akinsola, the coordinator World Largest Lesson Kwara Chapter and we formulated the #ConstructSabongeriWater twitter hashtag. The campaign officially kicked off January 1st, 2020 with the support of the Kwara State SDG Activators Team and a separate WhatsApp group of volunteers dedicated for the cause. My responsibility was to compose daily advocacy tweet while the team make it viral. The viral campaign came across the path of many government organizations and NGOs whose cause is about water. Next Blue Stories, an international storytelling platform about water followed the campaign update and sent me a private message tagging my campaign an inspiring one and requested the inspiring story behind it published on their international storytelling platform. The campaign terminated on the 23rd day of January, marking 23 days of consistency. The #BuildAWell #FixABorehole #WaterTheNeedy twitter team intervened. Within 7 days, construction of a manual borehole was completed on the site and from 30th January, Sabongeri-Ndeji had access to clean water for the first time in the existence of the community.
The actualization of these projects tell how collaboration with people (especially youths) of like-minds can be of great support for local actions towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. I challenge and encourage all corps members to live up to the tenets of their service to our fatherland through implementation of community development service projects and meet up with the main objective of the National Youth Service Corps scheme.

Oyinbo life too sweet abeg...if it were to be in my country,the way common enugu rangers coach would've replied the lad would've been so heartbreaking,perhaps after dumping the letter at one madam akara shop.

HopeSpencer:
This seems to be the reason. That NGO that distributed it gave all of us the same type without any testing. It only increases volume, sounds not clear in my ear.

raumdeuter:
Trump and Russia want Bernie to be the Democratic nominee

HopeSpencer:
I have one. It doesn't make any difference.

LordReed:
I see my dear budaatum moved by the words of Jesus and I sort of envy him that he can find inspiration in them. Me, they feel like insipid platitudes for the forlorn, no offense meant but that's just the way I feel now.

LordReed:
You like psyching yourself Sha! Your organization did nothing so don't try to lie. It was world politics that forced the end of apartheid, not some crummy little JW convention nobody gave a rats arse about.

Acme45:
so that you will park in?

Acme45:
you still think that there's husbands on the street,go out and see.instead you to settle it amicably with your man, the only thing you can think of is to look for advice from the unmarried on a public forum like this.am so sure you want to join the legions of the unmarried girls without any tangible hope of getting a husband in the nearest future.Be wise

LosC:
Suspend Nigeria?

joefelin2345:
But no one seems to be taking note of Oluwo's allegations against some of these Obas selling poor people's land at will . You need to see how these so called Obas n Chiefs use their powers over their poor subjects.

Babatunde40:
My advice is that when next you see him, ask for the blue paint on the desk beside the yellow cupboard. It is the one containing sesame seeds with pawpaw leaves. She should raise it. There is a note which contains the password to the safe near the door. Use the password to open the safe. There is nothing inside. If you read till this point, clap for yourself. We are both jobless.

SenecaTheYonger:
I wish there was a way I could benefit from Bloombergs cash. Dude has budgeted $400 million plus for this election - most of the money going towards adverts and memes.

garetz:
This nonsense you are writing just shows how totally brainwashed you are by the left-wing junk news you consume. Your fake news media tell you about McSally losing, do they also tell you that in the same Arizona, Ducey trashed his opponent by 12 points? Do they tell you that the Democratic Sinema votes with Republicans most of the times? Just like Jones and Manchin. If she's certain that Arizona is turning blue,I wonder what she is afraid of. Like I said, continue fooling yourselves.

stanech:
It’s amazing.

Liberals hate Trump because they think he’s a racist white billionaire.

But Bloomberg actually IS a racist white billionaire & they love him.

coluka:
All these are ultimately irrelevant because I believe that no matter what the outcome of this case is, Trump will grant Stone a pardon if needed to keep him out of jail.
