They say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I don't think suicide is the best solution. Even though, I know that depression kills silently. People condemning the boy's act doesn't know what depression is all about; but seek advice, talk to people, discuss it with them. If I had just 3 carryovers , I would have been a graduate by now. Life is easier in imagination than in reality

Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara has announced plans by the state government to recruit 8,000 workers into the civil service.
The governor who made the disclosure on a media programme in Gusau on Wednesday said the government has saved money for the payment of the new workers.
Plans have been perfected by the state government for the recruitment of 8,000 workers into the civil service.
On this issue too, I have made sure that the money that will be used in paying these additional workers have been secured for the next five months. “This class of workers do not, however, include the 1,400 youth employed but not being paid by the immediate past administration for over two years. “I have since directed for the screening of the 1,400 and immediately the screening is over, those who have not taken up other jobs or secured admissions to continue their education will be fully included in the state’s nominal role.” The Zamfara governor also said that the government would disburse N150 million to empower 7, 500 women in the state to earn a decent living. “We will select a total of 1,500 women from all parts of the state each month and give each the sum of N20,000 so that they can engage in or boost their small scale businesses. “The first set of 1,500 women are likely to start benefiting from this month (July), and this will be followed with another set of 1,500 women. “I have already saved this money for the implementation of the programme for the next five months and I want to assure women in the state that unlike in the past, this programme will last throughout the life span of my administration.

This money which I want our women to use in improving their living standard is not going to be given as loan but free of charge,” Matawalle assured. On agriculture, the governor explained that his two weeks absence from the state resulted in the release of 50 trailer load of fertilizer by the presidency to address the challenges faced by farmers as a result of armed banditry. He said “on the whole, I was able to secure as assistance to different categories of farmers in the state, a total 148,500 bags of assorted fertilizer from the federal government. “I want to assure the good people of Zamfara that my administration will be guided by the sincerity of purpose for the wellbeing and progress of the people and the state.” NAN

People that woke up for their daily hustling

But wetin girls dey use yahoo money do?

docadams:
Please, let's be careful how we hype these phones. I bought Nokia X6 the other day from Jumia. I was so disappointed with it I had to send it back. Settled for Samsung A20 instead

How much did you buy it?

If I be Yahaya Bello, I no go pay them, because I know say I no go come back again for second term. Just want to make commonsense

But what if someone gain admission at the age of 28, it's obvious that he/she will exceed the statutory age for NYSC before graduation, does it mean that the person can never be appointed for any political office even though he/she is properly qualified for the job?

Even though I'm one of his supporters, I didn't welcome the idea of free education, we have many issues we are battling with in the state- road network, dilapidated school structures, indiscriminate dumping of wastes, non-payment of pensions and so on

The child be like: can somebody tell me what is happening here

Igbos
Dis one na constituency project

I see Sen. Lawan as someone that is so liberal, civil, easy-going and credible compared to Sen. Ndume. Therefore, I prefer Sen. Lawan

What are the political or economic grains of these offices?

On this particular project, I sincerely commend the PMB-led administration

That man on native. U must laugh whenever u re passing through dat way. Very funny man. I usually love his preaching.

deboakins:
During GEJ regime, Okorocha did not see anything wrong for the Yoruba's not to have any significant position In that regime. It is too late in day to cry even when the head is off, they the Ibos shot themselves on the foot.

In 2011, PDP zoned the speakership position to SW, but ur political lord (TINUBU) and his ACN had to collaborate with other reps members to scuttle it in favour of TAMBUWAL from the NW region. So, do you blame PDP for that?

Igbos Have Themselves To Blame For Voting Atiku - APC

The ruling APC said it does not deserve any blame for not zoning the position of Senate President or Deputy Senate President to the South-East.

Rather it said the South-East should blame itself for queuing behind Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the PDP in the just concluded general elections.

The party was reacting to the outburst of Orji Uzor Kalu, who said that unless the APC makes him the Deputy Senate President of the 9th Senate, he will fight to become the Senate President.

Yekini Nabena, Deputy National Publicity Secretary of APC, in a chat with Daily Independent said while nobody is stopping Kalu from contesting for the position of Senate President, the reality is that he cannot win since the zoning arrangement didn’t favour him.

According to him, rather than getting angry with APC leadership, Kalu should blame his people in the South-East for putting all their eggs in one basket by rejecting President Muhammadu Buhari and casting over 90 percent of their votes for Atiku.

“That shouldn’t be a problem. He can contest for the position of Senate President. But the issue is, can he win? Nobody is stopping him from contesting. Igbo people always play themselves out. So, Kalu cannot blame APC.

“He should blame his own people from the South-East. He should blame them because they don’t know how to play politics. They play politics like a one-way thing. They all voted for Atiku in the presidential election. So, now that Atiku lost, who will help people like Orji Kalu? 99.9 percent of them followed Atiku.

“So, what is Kalu crying for? He should go back to his people and educate them on how politics is played especially at the national level. They should play 50-50. If this one didn’t work, the other can work.

“So, Orji Uzor Kalu must go back to his people and educate them because he himself is not worthy to be Senate President or Deputy Senate President. So, if he wants to contest, he can do so. Nobody is stopping him. But I know that he cannot win”, he said.

The few that voted for them, what would be their reward?

Koolking:
As a southerner/Easterner, I believe in justice.

APC should limit NASS offices to the West and the North that have majority APC supporters. The south and East cannot reap where they didn't sow. Politics is about give and take.

While the East and South keep playing infantile politics and shooting themselves in the leg, Atiku will reward them

The people that voted for APC in those regions, what would now be their own reward?

My major concern here is, I'm yet to hear from the national leadership of AAC concerning Rivers elections ; are they not supporting their candidates here? Or maybe, they don't support illegality? Is only "busy body" APC, crying more than the bereaved.

Is better late than never; that particular road has been a death trap

The fact is that, even if APC participated in the governorship election, they wouldn't find it so easy, not to talk of this unknown guy and his party

abbaapple:



So Ikwerre is in Imo state abi Continue

Nkwerre not Ikwerre

Na Tiwa Savage?

I didn't see any reason why someone would want to date this girl in the first place

If everyone would support a particular candidate, it means, there is no democracy where people makes their choices. I didn't vote for Buhari and will never vote for him; I have no regret and I don't care. I am from Rivers state.

The reception is meaningless; fake love

mechanics:
nawa o, it will require re-printing of ballot papers for River state governorship election.

Just a replacement of a candidate's name and not a party logo

Wheezdwisdom:
Rubbish judgement, did tambuwal participate in PDP primaries, Saraki and co before losing

The argument is that, Lulu Briggs was still a member of APC as of the time they (ACCORD PARTY) conducted their own primaries, so he's never a member of ACCORD PARTY. And they replaced the man's name with Lulu Briggs without his consent.

Xisnin:
PDP appears to be an women-friendly party.

Another one is coming...Sen. Betty Apiafi, Rivers west senatorial District

Yes... that serves them right. U can't be working for GT bank and be earning ur salary from the First Bank

olapluto:
The day PDP runs an honest campaign devoid of lies, blackmail, curses and religious division, thats the day they will stand a chance. The amount of fake news PDP fanboys like Reno, FFK, etc were peddling was really unfortunate. Even if one didnt want to vote Buhari, we were left with no choice.

If run ur campaign without telling lies, people won't believe u.
