National Youth Service Corps members

The National Youth Service Corps has sanctioned over 158 corps members for various offences, The Punch gathered on Thursday.

While some of them would repeat the service year, others had theirs extended for between two weeks and five months.

The culprits were part of the 2012 Batch ‘B’ corps members, who passed out across the country on Thursday.

This came as seven corps members died within the period in Rivers and Nasarawa states.

In Osun State, the NYSC state Coordinator, Mrs. Mojibola Eboagwu, said 21 corps members, who absconded from service, would be sanctioned.

In an address at the ceremony in the state, Eboagwu added that nine corps members, who absented themselves from duty, would face sanction.

Eboagwu said, “I am glad that the majority of the 3, 797 corps members passing out today have proved to be good ambassadors of the scheme.

“Ten corps members, who have distinguished themselves in various ways shall receive state awards.

“Twenty-five others will be given commendations. Nine corps members, who have committed such offences such as absenteeism and 21 who absconded from service are to be sanctioned.

“Their penalties range from extension to outright repetition of service in the case of absconding.”

The Enugu NYSC Coordinator, Mr. Hilary Nasamu, said three errant corps members had their service year extended.

“One corps member, who absconded from service, will be remobilised to start afresh whenever he resurfaces,” said Nasamu.

Meanwhile, 21 corps members, whose performances were exceptional, were honoured in the state.

The Rivers State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs. Josephine Okuonghae, said 17 corps members were sanctioned for various offences.

According to her, eight of the corps members will repeat the service, while the remaining nine will have theirs extended to between two weeks and five months.

She noted that the state lost four corps members within the period.

In Akwa Ibom State, coordinator of the scheme, Mr. Akinkunmi Martins, said three corps members would repeat the service year, while 49 others had an extension of between one and four months.

He said, “A total of three corps members will repeat the service, while 49 others will serve extension periods ranging from one month to four months.”

The Ondo State NYSC Director, Mr. Isiaka Kuoye, said 13 corps members would repeat the programme, while 19 others had the service year extended for commiting various offences.

According to him, 13 of the corps members refused to report to their primary places of assignment.

From Nasarawa State, the NYSC Coordinator, Mr Stephen Alabi, who said the ceremony was shelved because of the security challenges, added that 18 corps members would repeat the service, while five others had theirs extended for between two and five months.

The culprits, he said, committed various offences.

Chairman of the Senate Committee on Review of the Constitution, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has said if the committee’s recommendation on single tenure succeeds, President Goodluck Jonathan will sacrifice his presidential ambition in 2015.

Ekweremadu, who is the Deputy Senate President, also said some governors would sacrifice their second term ambitions in 2015.

He stated this in Abuja on Thursday while explaining the fate of the President and some governors on the proposed six-year single tenure amendment to the 1999 Constitution.

The deputy senate President said, “For us, it would have been easy to say let’s put it six years and let whoever wants, including those who are available now, let them benefit, so long as it will help in keeping overheating the system away.

“But we don’t want Nigerians to say that we have colluded with the executive to give tenure elongation to the President and certain governors. That means somebody instead of staying for eight years; he will now be staying for 10 years.

“I think it will be easier for someone to deal with the issue of making a sacrifice than for someone to have the period for 10 years; I am not sure what our colleagues will say. If they say that those who are there now should benefit, that is fine. Those who are currently serving should be able to excuse themselves and say we make this sacrifice on behalf of the system.”

Ekweremadu recalled that the President was one of the persons that called for a single tenure of six or seven years.

The deputy senate president said, “He (Jonathan) was grossly misunderstood. They were saying he wanted to get a third term; he wanted to elongate his tenure and all kinds of things were said.”

He also said his committee did not insert a specific time frame when the amendments would take effect.

Ekweremadu added that the constitution would take effect as soon as the requirement for the passage of each amendment clause was met.

He said, “Since we did not provide for any particular date, it means that as soon as the Constitution is passed, it starts; that is the implication.

“Unless you are suggesting that we put the time frame when it will start, but in the last amendment to the Constitution, we did not put any time frame for its take off, we also did not put in this one.”

He argued that it was certain with the current amendment that the President’s assent was not required to authenticate amendments to the Constitution.

According to him, it is an absurdity for the President to sign the amendments given that two thirds of the members of the National Assembly had been secured, which is the same requirement for overriding the President’s veto.

He noted that since the state assemblies also passed the amendments by two thirds, it would mean that the bill would be sent to the state governors for their signature since the law required the governors to sign bills passed by the state assemblies.

With regard to the new Section 136 relating to the Vice-President succeeding the President in the case of death, Elweremadu explained that the new provision bars the Vice President from running to succeed him, after completing the six year single tenure of the President.

He said, “You will recall that in Venezuela, when the President died, their constitution provides that the Vice President does not automatically take over. Fresh elections take place that option was available to us, but we considered the cost of elections.

“No democracy looked like the other one, we had to look inwards to see the one that works for us and we said the President dies and if the Vice President can finish the tenure; and having completed the term, there should be no extra mile to get himself back to the office that normally causes crisis.”

Ekweremadu also restated his views that having state police was the best for the country, with its vast population and size.

He however said it had to be droped because of the majority views, arguing that although he was Chairman of the committee, his business was to articulate the views of members of the committee and that of Nigerians.

The police in Lagos have arraigned a teenager, Olanrewaju Aremu, at a Yaba Magistrate’s Court for allegedly stabbing his father to death.

PUNCH Metro had reported that Olanrewaju allegedly killed his father, Victor Aremu, in Langbasa, Ajah area of the state.

The charge sheet read in part, “That you, Olanrewaju Aremu, on May 1, 2013, at about 11:30pm at Oke Nla, Langbasa, Ajah, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did unlawfully kill one Kayode Victor Aremu, aged 46 years, by stabbing him with a kitchen knife and thereby committed an offence, punishable under Section 221 of the Criminal law of Lagos State.”

The Magistrate, Mr. Olatunji, ordered that the accused be remanded in Ikoyi Prison pending advice from the Director of Public Prosecution.

The matter was adjourned till July 1, 2013.

Although the suspect had claimed to be 18 years, the charge sheet stated that he was actually 20 years.

Olanrewaju had told PUNCH Metro that he killed his father because the deceased never loved him and had maltreated him on several occasions.

He had said, “My father used to maltreat me and my mother was aware of this. Sometimes he would not give me food or money. He sent me to University of Ilorin but I did not get the course I wanted. I was admitted to study Geology but I wanted to study Biochemistry.

“My father forced me to go to the school and after I failed, the school asked me to leave. I started working with my father afterwards and I used to follow him to work. He did not want to send me to school anymore.

“On that day that I killed my father, I was ill and I told my parents but they ignored me. I do not really know what came over me. I took a knife and followed my father upstairs and stabbed him many times. He ran downstairs and I chased him downstairs and stabbed him once more.”

mascot87: It has become a common thing for ladies you just met online on a social network to ask guys for recharge cards even when you have not met them before. On many occasions have I met ladies online even on our first conversation asking me to send them recharge card either to get there phone number or get to meet them. The latest one that just occurred to me was about this lady I met on one of the social network site few days ago, i was surprised she gave me her phone number. I called her only for her to ask me to send her recharge card. I want to ask ladies and experienced guys in the house what the main purpose of ladies asking guys to send them recharge card even when u have not met them before. Is it to know the worth of the guy before you can go out with them or just the normal runz things just to keep themselves going?

Some girls will use the opportunity to see how much you care,Some will see you as a desperate person and call you MAGA,You just have to be bold to say NO.At thesame time it is ll those winchi winchi girls that will ask you for recharge cards.

Make he try seduce am,If the guy makes any move then he is a gay oo
