Politics › NBS Statistics Shows We’re Making Progress – Buhari by engineerboat(op): 11:47pm On Dec 20, 2018
NBS statistics shows we’re making progress – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari says the recent statistics reeled out by the National Bureau of Statistics shows that his administration is doing well.

Buhari said this on Wednesday during a Gala Night organised by beneficiaries of the government’s Anchor Borrowers Programme held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.

The President said this barely hours after the NBS announced that the number of unemployed persons of working age had risen to 20.9 million.


He said that statistics from the NBS has confirmed that his administration’s policies are yielding results.

Buhari said he inherited, “A broken system in the agricultural sector in 2015”.

After hearing testimonies from some rice farmers, the President said, “Seeing your faces and hearing your stories give me hope. Today, we are on the track to achieving an all-inclusive economy.”


The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, had said Buhari had ordered the Statistician-General of the NBS, Dr. Yemi Kale, to change the high unemployment statistics and reflect the rising rate of employment in the agriculture sector.

Shehu said during a recent meeting with the Federal Executive Council, Kale admitted that the NBS was only focusing on the creation of white collar jobs and not the agriculture sector and the informal sector.

“Rice Producers Association of Nigeria made the open claim and nobody has challenged them up until the time that we speak, that they had created 12 million new jobs,” Shehu had said.

Kale, however, denied ever making such a claim.

The United States Department of Agriculture World Markets and Trade had said last month that Nigeria imported three million metric tons of rice in 2018.


The US report had said the import figure is 400,000 metric tonnes higher than the quantity of the product that was imported in 2017.

The report also stated that Nigeria’s local rice production dropped from 2016 to 2018 compared to the situation in 2015.

You disappoint me. Again, my question is can Atiku still be called an orphan when the. Mother remarried after the death of his father. In simple English, can somebody with a mother and a step-father be called an orphan?
My question to you again is Atiku bearing his name
Politics › Re: Atiku Vs Orphan: Setting The Record Straight by engineerboat(op): 6:41pm On Nov 21, 2018
docadams:
Engineerboat, you left out the most important issue. Atiku lost his Dad at an early age and the mother remarried soon after. Was he still an orphan thenceforth? He didn't tell us if he lost his step father before his mother died. So it can be safely assumed that he wasn't an orphan until his mother died in 1984 when he was 38years old. So the claim that he started life as an orphan selling firewood is meant to hoodwink the gullible

You must think we're fools here.

In Nigeria, everyone knows what the word "orphan" stand for. it's mostly a word used for children without PARENTS!

That's why we mostly have what we call "orphanage homes" for children without parents.

Let's stop being silly in this country!

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS), and other groups label any child that has lost one parent as an orphan. In this approach, a maternal orphan is a child whose mother has died, a paternal orphan is a child whose father has died, and a double orphan is a child who has lost both parents.[6] This contrasts with the older use of half-orphan to describe children that had lost only one parent.[7]

I was taken aback when APC BMC start shouting Atiku lie when he says he sell wood as orphan.

I will base my fact check on

1. UNICEF definition of orphan

UNICEF and global partners define an orphan as a child under 18 years of age who has lost one or both parents to any cause of death. By this definition, there were nearly 140 million orphans globally in 2015, including 61 million in Asia, 52 million in Africa, 10 million in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 7.3 million in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. This large figure represents not only children who have lost both parents, but also those who have lost a father but have a surviving mother or have lost their mother but have a surviving father.

2. Muslim definition of orphan


The Orphan in Islamic Law
25-12-08, 06:54 PM
The Orphan in Islamic Law

The Arabic word for orphan is yatîm. Its linguistic meaning is simply "something that is singular and alone." When the word is used in the context of a human being, it means "a minor who has lost his or her father."

Generally, an orphaned child is confronted by poverty and has a weak position in society. A minor child in such a compromised set of circumstances possesses nothing, not even the knowledge of how to cope. A child does not have the experience and life skills to make it on his or her own.

When such a child reaches the age of majority – and we can define that as the time when the person acquires the ability to manage properly whatever money he or she might possess or come into possession of – then the person ceases to be an orphan as defined by Islamic Law.

3. In biblical Perspective.

God Says "I will be Father to the Fatherless"

James 1:27, “Pure and undefiled religion is this: to minister to widows and orphans in their distress and keep oneself unstained by the world"
4. Martial Webster dictionary definition of an orphan

[quote]orphan noun
or·​phan | \ˈȯr-fən \
Definition of orphan (Entry 1 of 2)
1 : a child deprived by death of one or usually both parents
He became an orphan when his parents died in a car accident.[quote]https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/orphan

From the above therefore, it is safe to say that from Atiku statement He Was completely right to have said that.

Thank You.
