You'd better don't kill yourself with this NYSC thing. Take your mind off it just keep checking your dashboard regularly. If there's a change in date, Nysc will announce it but to me, 15th is still 15th but if you want to rush pass NYSC, go ahead.
The circular stating 25 states for camping was released after the reg date extension to 9, so if there's a change, they'd have let us know. Thanks

That was how someone was saying 15 is too soon and some saying na January be camping.

Sorry, does it mean that states not mentioned among the 25 states will not receive stream II PCMs, because I was posted to Anambra in stream I but couldn't go, and Anambra is not stated among the 25 states' list.

This is still sensible. Surely no one expected MTN to cough up a whooping $5 billion fine, that is insane, it would ruin them and send them out of the Nigerian market. $35 million may be an extremely watered-down version of the initial fine, but it's still a substantial sum.

The three religions draw from a common root. Christianity is a reformed versions of Judaism; Judaism is an amalgamation of various ancient Mesopotamian rites, mythologies and historical traditions; Islam is a combination of a reformed Judaism and Arabian traditional mythologies.

They told me to take my first stream 1 slip to the camp for stream 2 as it is still valid. Revalidation is only across batches.

Previous call up letter has been removed, there is a message on the dashboard : "Sorry!, you are not on this stream. You will be notified when your call up letter.... ", does that mean we can't present the former call up letter in camp anymore?....

TemmyM:
It's true. Went to NYSC office today I was told the same thing.

Previous call up letter has been removed, there is a message on the dashboard : "Sorry!, you are not on this stream. You will be notified when your call up letter.... ", does that mean we can't present the former call up letter in camp anymore?....

Nenx2:
Ok
Thanks dear

The call up letter has been removed, does this mean we can't present it in camp anymore?

Click on revalidate, it'll work. Mine just did

I can't find the revalidation button on my portal. But my call up letter has disappeared, it's now showing "Sorry!, you are not on this stream. You will be notified when to print your call up letter."

Is that normal?

danbas:
Stream II Revalidation is on... Just did mine and awaiting call up later again hehe. This whole process is really hectic, what a country. Kastina it is again I think please who and who got that place? I need a map ��.

Sorry Bro, I was mobilized during the stream I registration, but wasn't able to go,was hoping to go with stream II. Now I logged on to my dashboard and I saw "Sorry!, you are not on this stream. You will be notified when to print your call up letter", but the green slip is still on the portal.... Is that the same thing on your dashboard?

Need a quick loan with less stress? Do you have a collateral(automobile or gold jewelry) worth the amount you need....

Whatsapp/Call 07062208029 or 08029583751

If the person has a collateral "worth the amount needed", wouldn't he/she simply save the trouble and sell it to raise the cash.

It seems the esteemed CoAS doesn't know the meaning of Class-B combat vehicles, if we are hoping to be "self sufficient" in production of Class-B combat vehicles by 2025 and we still don't have even a rudimentary prototype of such calibre by now, then we are still living in a dream.

Reserve your pity for future use.

Why are some quarters of this country so afraid of that restructuring? These jets would have been built by Nigerians if only we did the right thing from the word go .
We will continue to be partially surrounded by despots hostile militia and military bases until we clean up our own house. You don’t create an unequal system while expect peace and tranquility.

Well, change is a very difficult thing. Who knows what a restructured system will bring?.

The North is afraid to lose it's juicy share of the monthly oil money, while the south-south is agitating for a steep increase in earnings which they fondly term "resource control" . The south-west thinks the south-south is greedy, and the south-east is too busy screaming marginalization to form an opinion.

So,instead of dealing with the root cause of all these issues, the government is busy chasing after the "elephant in the room", as our erudite VP aptly put it, a most entertaining euphemism for corruption . But the question is, if the elephant is already in the room, then why chase after it?.

Nigeria is fighting Boko Haram and a myriad of internal security issues. Therefore, the need for sophisticated weapons is urgent and understanding.

Switzerland does not have armed terrorists running around it's territory, neither does it face any immediate threat of external aggression. Nigeria on the other hand is partially surrounded by despots, hostile militias and foreign military bases.

Nigeria is also the regional power in west Africa, which comes with the responsibility of being capable of carrying out peace-keeping missions within it's sphere of influence, you don't carry out peace keeping missions with arrows and slings.


So yes, we need to acquire weapons, in fact, we are seriously below where we should be in terms of military strength.

As for your other points, I do believe we need a change in structure to govern this country more efficiently, but I do not disagree with the military administrators who decided to impose a unitary government, the country was chronically polarized and anything less than a centralized structure would have caused an unceasing cycle of strife and civil wars.


But I agree that the unitary government has served its purpose, it's time to free up resources for the people at the bottom.

Hence, a more prudent enemy aircraft would be contented with blowing those ridiculous turbo kites out of the sky with a few well positioned BVR missiles, then swiftly fly home in time for the 9'o clock news.

Who is Nigeria fighting with war plane?

Does Switzerland have any war plane?

Switzerland and Nigeria have no foreign enemies.

Citizens of Switzerland have the best well-being in Europe.

The many ethnic groups in Switzerland came together and agreed on the terms for one Switzerland.

But in Nigeria, northern Muslims created the country's political structure and governance system, supervised a 1999 constitution imposed upon all in the country.

Talk of restructuring Nigeria to be good for all, cheap cash from crude oil in the Nigerdelta wouldn't allow the Buhari clan to subscribe to democratic restructuring of Nigeria, they stick to the structure created by northern soldiers.

At best they acquire military aircraft's and bombs and bullets to sustain the structure and one Nigeria. Tall Dreams..

The comments so far shows how ignorant many Nigerians are. Some are talking trash about buying weapons from "ordinary islamic" Pakistan, while others are blabbing about bombing Israel. Religious bigotry and hate is now so common that it pervades every national issue. One would expect sane people to be more concerned about the efficiency of the JF-17 (which is a 70% Chinese plane by the way) instead of the country of origin.


Whether the jets are from Muslim Pakistan or Buddhist China or Christian Russia or Jewish Israel, what matters most is the technical capabilities.

The JF-17 is a good warplane, far better in terms of aerial superiority than the fan-nose crop dusters we purchased for an over bloated price from the US.

@Aprokogist247, do you know if revalidation can be done from stream 1 to stream 2?

@Aprokogist247, do you know if revalidation can be done from stream 1 to stream 2?

QuinieR:
Yea you can ,u will revalidate during stream2 registration.but you won't be able to change state..

I thought revalidation is only by batch, not by stream?

Heard the date for opening of camp has been shifted, how true is it?

Sign me up.

Atikulate.

right, this option had been pointed out by LordReed, and I position this veiw to him. Firstly it has shows evidence that man by nature want to dominate and survived .Hence we can say waepons is basically build to save us while eradicating our enemy. And as the world evolve Do men still needs this idea? Why do We steed needs to go choose what We want, because by nature we appear more capable than animal. We have evolve to the stage that we can live freely among ourselves. With human ability of problem solving . We can easily separate basic problem solving from internal conflict. With problem solving, we are able to consider many paths to a solution, using our imagination, follow them down to what appears to be the best option. I don’t consider weapons as a means of survival now. There should simply be balance means of settling conflict without the necessary needs of building weapons.

I believe your idea is very interesting, but sadly unfeasible. The human species, like most other social species, is inherently competitive. This is due to many factors including the spontaneous and erratic dynamics of existing "social myths" (such as religion, culture, law, governance, economy etc), organic diversity in race, geographical dispersion and anatomical variations, presence of limited natural resources necessary to maintain individual social dynamics etc.

Do you think scientist can ethically and morally justify the inventions of weapons that can kill and harm?


*What do you think*?

Let's exercise a civil and polite debate.....

I think this debate will favour and justify the war fought both in the bible and quran accordingly......since it is base on moral and ethical ground....


LordReed, budaatum and the rest........

I think inventions of weapons is not really about right or wrong. Weapons are made as a means of survival, for example, the U.S needed a weapon that would stop Imperial Japan and end WW2 quickly, Oppenheimer produced the first atomic bomb. It is as simple as that.

Mcowubaba:
My offer was not a hoax, I won't be cowed or emotionally blackmailed to just agree with anybody and send 40K which will play on the majority of our intelligence .
I mentioned Ministry of Finance because the are closely related to CBN, so that was not strange, or don't the work together in many activities ?
Forex was hoarded and available by some cabal members, this was exposed by Sanusi Lamido who was their previous governor, you can't tell me an agency that let this happen is functioning to standard

I don't expect CBN to wave a magic wand, but more strategies could have been put in place to prevent the silly intense recession Nigeria is in, and you can't absorb CBN in the economy of the country, the all played a role in the recession.

I just mentioned ATM machines as a popular issue, and yes that's a big issue, maybe you don't know
How many money lodgement bank machines are available ?
Do you know that there are countries that there bank machines don't experience the glitch as you termed it, their ATM machines are always working properly and dispensing different currency denominators

What's the interest rate for most current accounts in Nigerian banks, what's the job security like? Bankers are sacked unjustly at any given moment
why are there still successful bank armed robberies in this year and age ?

Perhaps I came out as too harsh, and I duly apologize for that.

But I still remain on my point that the CBN is the most functional agency of the Nigerian government.

Yes, I acknowledge your points, they do seem to be salient ones, however, you are getting it all wrong.

The CBN is not responsible for formulating economic policies, and due to the fact that CBN is semi-autonomous, there are times when MoF policies clash with CBN policies (like recently between Adeosun and Emefiele). True, they are supposed to work in tandem, but MoF is a political agency, and will therfore put what is "politically right" first before what is common sense. That doesn't mean CBN is bad, it's just politics.

What I am talking about here is the performance of CBN in the role set out for them by the Nigerian constitution.

Now, Emir Sanusi claimed that CBN was turning some cabals into overnight millionaires by granting them special access to forex. But look at it this way:

Scenario:

Dangote is building our first fully operational oil refinery, he obviously needs lots of dollars, but the country has limited dollars. Now, what should the CBN do?, should they continue allowing free use of scarce forex to import toothpicks and face-towels?, or should they "hoard" the forex and instead give it to specific people who have legitimate or specific utilities(like constructions companies, foreign students, importers of critical commodities etc)?. Now, turns out the CBN decided to give Dangote special access to forex due to his immediate priorities, CBN gives him $10 miilion per month, but after receiving the currency, Dangote decides to sell $4 million on the parallel market for an inflated price, just to make more money. What should the CBN do?,should they stop giving him forex and risk him grounding his project?, or should they just try their best to monitor and regulate such deals to the barest minimum?.

See the dilemma?. The only option left for the CBN is to go to the root of the problem, the black market. The CBN aggressively dealt with illicit trade of the dollars, and increased support for the Bureau de Changes so as to stem leakage of dollars, and illegal profiteering. This serves three purpose;
1. It helps harmonize the value of the naira in both banks and parallel market
2. The BDCs becomes more reliant on the CBN for forex
3. It also serves to cut off the source of illegal profiteering because the CBN can now monitor the flow of forex in the parallel market through the BDCs.

As for the CBN playing a role in the recession. There is no way the CBN could have stopped the recession, that is why I said that they only act as monetary regulators, not fiscal managers. It is the job of the MoF to stop recession. Even if the CBN wants to stop the MoF from taking certain steps that could cause recession, they don't have the power to do it.

As for the ATM issue, these glitches occur due to many reasons. You'd be surprised that most of those reasons are not the fault of the banks, example, power outages(which is the cause for 90% of "card swallowing", forcing the banks to run on diesel generators which sometimes break down. The countries that don't experience these things have stable power supply and good business environment. The lack of power or efficient business climate is neither the fault of the CBN or the banks.

As for job security and interest rates, that is a product of the harsh Nigerian business environment. These banks operate of fuel 24/7, which cost a lot of money in both fueling and repairs. While it may not entirely justify their actions, you have to recognize the situation on ground.

As for why there are still bank robberies, like I said earlier, business environment. Is it the job of the CBN or banks to equip the countries police and other law enforcement parastatals with the necessary infrastructure to provided adequate security in the country?. The banks can only procure private security outfits which often have limited abilities. No national database, no forensic capacity, no security surveillance of highways, poorly trained police etc, these aren't faults of the banks or the CBN. Countries where bank robberies is almost unheard of have better business environment due to security and stability in government policies.

Mcowubaba:
You're woefully ignorant no offense!!

Hope you know that the CBN and Ministry of Finance are in charge of our fiscal and monetary policy, two very strategic indices for our Economic development

I wonder how Nigeria has a high inflation rate, and is even in recession if these agencies are working well

Secondly, hope you are aware that CBN is meant to regulate the banking sector of the country, now ask yourself are the banks working up to standard

Their ATM machines that are either not working, or swallows up your atm card

Thridly, are you aware that CBN is meant to control price stability in the country

Nigeria that egg will be 30 naira today, Tommorow it's 60 naira

Well, just say your offer was a hoax to mock the country and stop typing misguided information. You claim to be knowledgeable, yet your post embarrassingly uninformed.

Yes the CBN is in charge of monetary policies(for your information, Ministry of Finance is totally different from the CBN, so I see no relevance in mentioning the MoF here), and they have done a good job at cutting down inflation and stemming devaluation of the naira.

I don't know how else you expect them to perform in a situation where crude oil, which accounts for 90% of Nigeria's gross income, took a nose-dive in the international market and began selling at less than 30% of it former price. You expected the CBN to wave a magic wand and make the inevitable inflation and paucity of funds disappear?.


What the CBN did was to tighten forex spending to avoid excessive leakage of scarce dollars, stem the spiral in the value of the local currency(that would have led to a Zimbabwe-style inflation) by staggered monetary intervention to banks and BDCs, and buff up foreign reserves to augment the stability of the naira and attract FDIs(especially portfolio investors). The result showed in the mere fact that the country didn't collapse out of financial shock, and even now the recession has eased and inflation is climbing back down according latest NBS data.

What else do you expect them to do?, any central bank on earth would have a problem managing such a situation (as is evident with Venezuela, Russia, Saudi Arabia etc) and yet the CBN did it.

Note that the CBN is not responsible for formulating economic blueprints, hence they can't be blamed for the recession, their role is strictly monetary in nature, not fiscal.

As for the banking sector part: Nigerian banks are rated internationally as world class banks, you can do yourself the favour of checking it out on the internet.

I don't know what you mean by ATM machines not working, all the ATM machines attached to banks usually works, except if they have temporal glitches, which are usually resolved within a day. Swallowing of card may be due to many factors including wrong pin, expired cards, system error (usually due to power outage, which is not the fault of the bank) etc, but you can easily retrieve it in your bank or get another one if it got stuck in another bank's ATM.

On the price stability part, Nigeria operates a free market, if you don't know what that is, go and search on it on google, I don't have time to explain. But basically, every market entity can fix the price of their commodity at any rate they wish, it is now left to the mechanism of demand and supply(market forces) to regulate the price of that commodity based on consumer preference.

Mcowubaba:
Few of my buddies just saw this post, the said they will add another 20K,
So people, it's now 40K

"Which will be transferred immediately through western union to your bank account"

Name any sector controlled by Nigerian Government that's working up to standard?

Well, I believe the Central Bank of Nigeria, is one government agency that is being very well managed and that delivers top notch.

It is evident in the fact that Nigeria has the best banking industry in Africa.

Infact, several Nigerian banks have appeared in different global economic ratings as leading banks in the world.

The CBN is the regulatory body for all Nigerian banks and is also responsible for the monetary policies of the country, and from the results so far, we can say they have done a world class job.

I really don't know what to say, some people actually believe this gimmick. Religious people must be the most retarded species of human beings on the planet.
