The So called Npower Batch C Stream II

By Sulaiman Maijama'a

If there is any Npower category that suffered the extreme and got ill treated the most, that should be the Batch C Stream II. The Batch C category applied for the empowerment in 2020 and stream l was boarded in 2021 and unboarded in August, 2022 after a year of service. Batch C Stream II volunteers who underwent biometric data and physical screenings are still suffocating without knowing their fate.

Imagine applying for Npower since 2020 and receiving nothing up till this moment. Imagine applying for a programme that is aimed at alleviating poverty but ends of rendering you poorer. The current Batch C Stream II volunteers are, indeed, undergoing the worst moment of their lives. These are the children of the poor. The expended the little they have for transportation and feeding at their Places of Primary Assignments. Some of them are even flooded by debt, hunger, anger and depression.
What did they do to deserve this punishment?

The disturbing fact is that whenever these volunteers seek to know about their payments via Npower social handles, the heartless Npower staff give childish, lugubrious and unwarranted cliches such as " You will be paid soon, sooner, soonest, in no distance time, preparations are in top gear" among others. The question is, what type of 'soonest' that is not sooning for five months? when did Npower start teaching regular adjectives and adverbs? Are these beneficiaries' stipend diverted? Are we serious in this country?

On the other hand, the most painful part is that the Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development Minister Sadiya Farouq, recently said that N890.7 billion was spent on N-power with N246 billion on CCT, N17.6 billion on GEEP, N2.7 million on IM, while school feeding programme gulped N200.9 billion.

Farouq said this when she featured on the 23rd edition of the President Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) Administration scorecard series organised by the Information and Culture Ministry in Abuja this week.

N890.7 billion in Npower? Which of the Npowers? The one traumatizing and forbidden our youths their hard-earned five months stipends? Sincerely speaking, this farewell reputation the minister and her ministry are trying to leave behind is becoming unbecoming. It will surely tarnish the seven years of reputation Npower programme.

More frightening are allegations that the monies earmarked for the programme are being diverted to Bauchi state where the minister's husband is vying for governorship seat. The minister perhaps is investing as she is eyeing the seat of the First Lady in Bauchi. Is that how her husband, Air Marshall Sadique Abubakar is planing to govern us if given the mandate?

If not for the sake of anything, the minister has to pay these vulnerable children their money in order not to make her husband's political career short-lived.

Enough is enough, please pay Npower Batch C Stream II.

Few weeks ago everyone thought the same of their military.

So what? The Russians military you see in Ukraine are just the primary of what Putin has in stock. There are more to be unveil once Nato & Us interven. #MarkMyWord

Susily:



You sound like it's only Russia that has Nuclear weapons

They re unbeatable bro

PUTIN just smiling in latin language. NATO are cowards including the US. The truth is putin only use UKRAINE to get his targets which re NATO & the US allies. Putin is a warlord & he is more than willing to bring their lost glory back from US. Why is NATO & US so reluctant to send their military against RUSSIA? its over 2weeks since they invaded & a lot has been damage with so many dead bodies litter everywhere. My question is! what is keeping them from striking back & spear us the word "DEFENSE" while Putin is the aggressor according to their so called UN charter. if it were to be IRAQ invading another US allies, The almighty Biden would ve send in his war drone over to wipe out Iraq. Now its Putin, none of them dim it fit to confront him face to face. They prefer using sanctions as a tool to weaken putin? The truth is, they are all afraid of Russia nuclear weapons. #period

That you failed in life is not caused by masturbation because many people are into it and are doing fine and living a happy and stress free life.

Nigeria government agency fighting for hushpuppi possession should be ashame of their selves & bury their corrupt faces in the pit of hell.

USA FBI should have him & bring his lousy ass to justice. Forget Nigeria Agencies crying to have him bcoz we all know the end result when he faces trial in Nigeria shit hole courts. U can ask MOMPHA for more clarification.

Nigeria justice system is weak & corrupt; & i bet Hushpuppi will regain his freedom once he arrive nigeria just like dey handle the case of EVANS the deadly kidnapper.
