i have read posts that talk of patriotism with bravado et al. The truth is, NYSC is a bloody waste of time. I will try to scan and post the picture of our camp in 2001 that was set ablaze in Keffi-Nasarawa State by crazy-ass students of Government College Keffi, after raping a female corp member while we were in camp.

A lot of guys lost all their certificates and personal effects to that event. Brigadier Ogunkoya was the NYSC boss then. He had to come-in from Abuja because of the crisis. We did not do POP at camp.

The state government, as represented by the present deputy- governor, Labaran Maku, who is now deputy governor of the state covered the truth. They did that weeks after corps member changed their mind about re-deploying cos everybody wanted to redeploy after that incident and Ogunkoya who was on ground and saw the situation granted redeployment to all that wanted another state.

As if that was not enough, those who stayed didnt fare any better. It was one story of assault and battery from the natives. A lot of story that remains unheard because of the repressive NYSC laws.

But we should thankGod that the Freedom Of Information Bill has been passed. The mess being covered by NYSC officials, especially in the North will be opened. Oppressed, assaulted, raped etc corp members will be able to speak loud and clear.

Above all, if you have been to the NYSC Store at Area 11 in Abuja, you will know that the NYSC Scheme is a major source of wealth and income for some prominent Nigerians who are contractors to the NYSC and who will do everything to ensure that the useless, one-sided time wasting rubbish that led to the death of many young and promising lads and lass through motor accidents; kaduna, kano and Jos religiously motivated  riots is not scrapped.

People Temp is very reliable. Their head consultant used to be with Arthur Andersen, now KPMG.

Go for it. The agency just rebranded. Their office is on Isaac John Street, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos.
Check their website for more info. Here is d link www.peopletemp.net/about_us.htm -

Temporary Job Opening


Legwork Limited has temporary job opening at the Data Entry Unit of her Opebi Office in Lagos.

We require the service of individuals who are adept at the use of corel draw and adobe photoshop.
Graduate degree is not a must for the job. Fast typing speed, and mastery of corel draw and adobe photoshop are the basic requirements.


Please apply in person to our Opebi Office, No 7 church Street, Opebi, Lagos. Ask for Adeola.

It is best to reschedule and take time to prepare for the test. KPMG tests people ever other week. Hav quite a number of younger friends dt are regretting doing KPMG test without preparation.

I have a personal experience who rescheduled and passed, but did not make it eventually and another one that did not rescheduled (cos she was in a great hurry) and got a mail in response that she did not pass d test.

@diyobw
you are right. I have been privileged to audit applications for employment and I can say it is that BAD. Even graduates that with First Class degree certificates commit these faux pas.

There was this guy that applied for the job of a MARKETING MANAGER, going through his CV, the guy read Biochemistry and has worked for a pharmaceutical company all his life.

There is nothing that reflects he has ever been into marketing professionally in his CV and the SHOCKER is his career objective: HE WANTS TO BE THE BEST BIOCHEMIST IN THE WORLD. Yet he is applying for the job of a marketing manager in an IT Firm.

@ Groupoint

It is rare indeed to see persons dt work hard and smart ending up unsuccessful. Let us not confuse WORKING HARD with WORKING HARD and SMART. They are two different things. Most people either WORK HARD without WORKING SMART or Some bloke is WORKING SMART but not WORKING HARD.

Na true o! It is flashing as breaking news on Punchng.com

Chris Uba & Co can now take over and loot the state silly

@fayalite
Adedibu has the blessing of OBJ- a man who deos not believ in the rule of law and will never uphold it. Let us just thankGod that 2007 is around the corner.

My only fear is for the people of Ibadan and the mayhem that may be unleashed on them over jeun jeun politics

Breaking News : Appeal Court Throws Out Akala: •Orders Immediate Reinstatement Of Ladoja

Posted by admin on 2006/11/1 14:17:35 (1043 reads)
Gbenro Adesina/Ibadan, Ayo Lawal, Tokunbo Olajide, Alawode Adebobola & Tunji Adewunmi

Supporters of the impeached Governor of Oyo State, Alhaji Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja, broke into wild jubilation this morning, as the Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan declared the impeachment process as illegal, unconstitutional, null and void. Reinstating the governor, the presiding Judge J.O. Ogebe ruled that if the incumbent administration led by Christopher Alao-Akala goes to Supreme Court, it would not win stressing that the process of the impeachment of Governor Ladoja was absolutely faulty.


Among the eight faulty processes were: the sitting of the legislators in an hotel rather than the State House of Assembly to deliberate on the impeachment; sending the notice of impeachment through the newspapers; impeachment carried out by 18 rather than 22 legislators; unavailability of affidavit of suspension; the time-frame of the process; and the declaration of lack of jurisdiction by the High Court, thereby declaring the process null and void. Many lawyers hailed the ruling as a victory for democracy and a lesson to Nigerians in general.

According to Bayo Shittu, and Sanyaolu Akinyele, representing Governor Ladoja’s camp, Gov. Ladoja should be immediately reinstated as the constitutional and elected governor of Oyo state. Shittu said, “the judgement is a judgement of a Court of Appeal and it is a full constitutional court that has decided on it. It is not just a three-man panel, it is a panel of five which is a full court of Nigeria. “We thank God and the people of Oyo state. We thank God that at last we’ve had a nullification of the purported impeachment, and by implication, Governor Ladoja remains the Governor of Oyo State as from today till the 29th May 2007.

“Don’t let anybody harass us with going to Supreme Court. They went to Supreme Court once and they were disgraced from the Supreme Court. If they go again they’ll fail. As from today, the so-called controversial governor Akala is no longer the governor of the state. His regime is an aberration.” Akinyele, too said: “The judgement of today is a landmark one. It is of constitutional importance to this country. Two it has gone a long way to show that we don’t have a legislature in Nigeria. It shows that the legislators are not powerful, that they are not the only one that can impeach a sitting governor, it involves the judiciary and the people”.

As at press time attempt to contact Governor Akala or any of his aides proved abortive as his lawyers left the court immediately after the ruling. The judgement was delivered amid tight security with police armoured vehicles on guard. Many legal practitioners and journalists who got to the venue as early as 9 a.m were locked out. Also no supporters from either side, and ordinary civilians were allowed to enter the court or even stay within the precincts of the court.

Also, the ruling caused traffic jam in GRA and Dugbe areas of Ibadan. Meanwhile, Lagos lawyer Femi Falana has described the ruling as a triumph for the rule of law. Falana said: “at least the reinstatement of Rasheed Ladoja clearly shows that the judicial system will be able to gain some respect. Another lawyer, Festus Keyamo, said: “it is victory for democracy. The people can now manage democracy by following the rule of law.”

Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja was impeached on Thursday January 12, 2006 by a group of 18 legislators loyal to the strongman of Ibadan politics Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu. The impeachment resembled a military coup, as it was done with the partisan support of the Oyo state police command and the top echelon of the People’s Democratic Party. In the run up to the impeachment, PDP’s chairman, Ahmadu Ali even characterised Adedibu as the ‘’garrison commander’’ of Oyo State.

Following Ladoja’s clearly illegal impeachment, his deputy, Alao Adebayo Akala was sworn in as the state Governor. The injustice and illegality of Ladoja removal spurred a massive protest on 23 January in Ibadan, Oyo State as thousands of people took to the streets. During the protest, the chairman of Campaign for Democracy (CD) Moshood Erubami was attacked and arrested by the police. Ladoja who fought the impeachment process all the way in the court, swiftly challenged the impeachment.

The legal battle which was initiated by three lawmakers namely Hassan Ogundoke, Babatunde Olaniyan and Jacob Oyekunle which had suffered many hitches following the controversial withdrawal of former judge M. Bolaji Yussuf from the matter was later reopened by a Court of Appeal in Ibadan. The case was referred to the Appeal Court following a Supreme Court ruling which affirmed that Ladoja had a right to challenge his removal. The ruling which was earlier scheduled for last Wednesday, was delivered in favour of Senator Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja today.

http://www.thenewsng.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1769

Chief (Thug) Adedibu, the strongman of Amala politics and the terror of all political aspirants in Ibadan is probabaly planning on unleashing mayhem on Rasheed Ladoja loyalists (GOD SAVE THEM), with docile help from Abuja

Is it true that LADOJA has been re-instated as Oyo state governor? Who has heard the news? Somebody called to tell me.

If it is true, shame on Adedibu, Up Up Democracy

Luck did not take Tony Elumelu, Aliko Dangote and Erastus Akingbola & Co, to the top. Please note that the SMARTER HARDER YOU WORK, THE LUCKIER YOU WILL GET. Ask Seun, he is an entrepreneur.

Consider Albert Einstein, who was four years old before he could speak. He worked hard to be the best in his time.

The same for Sam Walton of world famous Wal-Mart, he was not lucky with his first store, it failed.

The great and late Henry Ford suffered an early bankruptcy, but worked hard and smart to bounce back to become one of the richest men in history.

Objectivity my foot. We are all biased one way or the other. In every argument (apologies to Francis Bacon- the Father of Scientific reasoning), we all start from a biased premises or reasoning, thanks to what FRANCIS BACON called the corruptive influence of our environment, tradition, tribe, the arts, our friends, family etc.

The Igbos are always talking about MARGINALIZATION. That is the way other Nigerian tribes see them. But what should the people of the NIGER DELTA say? That is a topic for another day.

So guys, our emotions and bias are always deeply ingrained in our arguments or reasoning.

Analysing this thread from the Baconian point of view, Charles 316 is guilty of TRIBALISM. He started from a prejudiced point of view. It takes a biased mind and a tribalist to come up with such observation. There are more than a thousand and one examples that contradicts his observation.

For example, FINANCIAL STANDARD NEWSPAPER, which is owned by ENIOLA FADAYOMI, a Yoruba person, but 90% of the employees are Igbo, it never occurred to me until I saw this post.

To a certain extent, Davidylan  is right, FINANCIAL STANDARD NEWSPAPER, for example is profitmaking organization, and since the Igbo Editor, GM and a lot of other Igbo employees are doing well, who should care, except an inept TRIBALIST, who wants to hide mediocrity under ethnic jingoism to get a job by saying sebi na Yoruba woman get the newspaper.

@ CHUKKY76
am sure something is also wrong with an employment process that threw up more than what ethnic jingoists would term more than a fair share of Igbo employees at FINANCIAL STANDARD NEWSPAPER. A newspaper that is read by Nigerians from all walks of life.

SO WHAT IS OBJECTIVITY, WHO IS OBJECTIVE? ABEG LET US POST ACCORDING TO OUR SENTIMENTS JO!

So therefore, Eniola Fadayomi is guilty of marginalizing d Yorubas and other tribes by employing more than 90% Igbos to work for Financial Standard newspaper! How does that sound CHUKKY76? So, she is prejudiced what,

Carry go! Give me second base jo!

This is my take

ESTHERBREAKTHRU IS BAD NEWS.

The guys behind the organization are certainly unemplyed and ineligible for employment.

@naijacutie, u hav said it all.

nobody, no comapny, nothing at all is indispensable. there is always a better substitute. between now and when Adenuga fled the country, i know hitherto unemployed people who hav got mouthwatering job offers

With or without Adenuga's embargo, those cut out to seek employment will always get employment.

SO STOP LAMENTING[color=#990000][/color]

@naijacutie
Tanks for the informative article.

Logically, u are not pregnant until the time for your montly cycle is come and gone and it didnt come visiting.

From your explanation, you are not likely to be, except you are not spilling it all.

@ Manoy

@Ladenz,
