I resumed camp on the 3rd day of camp opening. While security officials were going through my bag, the corpers husband was causing a scene at the gate threatening to leave her there. NYSC officials were insistent that they have handed her over to him and would take no responsibility if anything happened to her.

It was the husband who revealed that she was pregnant. He was also calling her relatives to come and get her and that she won't follow him back to Lagos. I entered the camp and left them at the gate. I don't know how the matter ended. In those 3 weeks of camp 2 other sets of corpers were caught having sex in the bush as well. Only the ladies got sent away from the camp.

Wow that's crazy, but as I said, she did indeed hid her pregnancy because even non-pregnant married women can choose to leave camp (if I'm not mistaken) after documentation or second day.

NYSC don turn baby factory be dat. You want to keep Hot young men and women locked up in a camp for 6 weeks and you think most of them will hold body that long? Na.

When I served in 2017 in NYSC camp in Sagamu Ogun state, a pregnant married corper was caught sleeping with another corper on the second day of camp. Her husband was quickly called to come and remove his trash bag from the camp. They didn't tell him why. Na security for get tell am say dem catch him wife dey collect gbola for bush.

Oga dey lie small small na, pregnant women (and nursing mothers) are usually not allowed to stay in camp, except she explicitly hides her pregnancy which means you also (narrating the story) won't have known she was pregnant.
Guess you heard the rumour from somewhere/someone without even trying to second guess it's validity.

Key Questions for the Opposition
If critics believe the current administration is on the wrong path, what specifically would they do differently regarding:

Security and counter-insurgency strategy?

Building and protecting foreign reserves?

Fuel subsidy removal and its fiscal consequences?

Increasing crude oil production and reducing oil theft?

Development of the Niger Delta?

Infrastructure financing and project execution?

Public debt management?

Debt servicing and fiscal sustainability?

Foreign exchange stability?

Student loan programmes?

Stability of the academic calendar?

Resolution of ASUU-related issues?

Doubling the national minimum wage?

Capital market development and wealth creation?

Attracting foreign direct investment?

No administration is perfect, and many Nigerians continue to face significant economic hardship. However, several of these reforms are structural in nature and may take years before their full benefits become visible. The more important debate is not whether challenges exist, but whether there are better, practical alternatives to the reforms currently being implemented.

Though not an APC supporter (infact I believe 70% of the post is just bullshit) but I like this follow up question, this is the reality many opposition fail to understand is that, there's almost no right answer for most of Nigeria's problems, this is because of the corruption that is deeply rooted in every sector, i mean not only government but also citizens (esp. civil servants and even average individuals)

70% of the above is just BS

Lightmykpoli:
I don't want a virgin, they will always wonder what another man tastes like. Let her taste the good, the bad and the ugly and then come choose me.

F sounds more like my type

I pity you because your logic is actually counter intuitive, don't you know the saying that men choose who they marry (not women) women marry who is available, even if she wants "the good" but he's not available (ready for marriage) she'll eventually choose (settle for) the next best option "the fair/the bad" but deep down her mind she'll always desire "the good" this is where cheating begins.

Unlike a virgin, as long as you're not in "the bad/ugly" category, she won't be able to tell the difference between "the fair" and "the good", she might even be somewhat contented with you even if you're "the bad".
She'll only want to know what other men taste like if she has a promiscuous mindset which is unlikely because she would have lost her virginity long before marriage in the quest of searching for what "a man" (or a specific type of man) taste like.

1vandragon:
The opposition is not ready. The votes would be split again and bat will win.

The only way to win bat is for the opposition to come together, put egos aside, and combine Atiku and Obi. Anything else is a waste of time.

A clear opposition will make it difficult for apc to rig as the votes will be decisive and less spread out.

Alternatively, Obi and Kwankwaso should be a joint ticket with Atiku stepping aside to support them.

I agree that the votes will be split again but this time PBAT might not be able to pull the 8.8 million he previously had due to the current economic hardship, most people particularly yorubas that genuinely supported him previously, 5 out of 10 (a generous estimate) are no longer in support of him (you can just walk around any market and ask random Yoruba people), which means the votes will be reduced by at least 1 million (another generous estimate) which will put him in the same boat as the opposition. I'm not saying it is not possible to win I'm just saying divided opposition this time doesn't guarantee winning.
And technically speaking, the opposition is even less divided than last time.

LordBiden:
I'm not a tinubu fan but let me tell you this only death can stop him from winning next year.

The average Nigerian does not vote base on performance,they vote base on sentiments,tribe and religion.

He has control over the INEC, security agencies,huge war chest and federal power.

You also have another formidable political tactician on his side the ever wicked Nyesom wike.

I understand that people vote based on sentiments (tribe and religion) but you cannot deny the fact that the subsidy removal and floating of naira doesn't have any impact on people, I for one know many people that was behind PBAT in 2023 and are totally against him now due to economic issues obviously (not just a few people but many).

Yeah, the adminstration has control over INEC, security and others (which I accounted for) but it's not an absolute control, because if that was the case, then power won't ever change from any ruling party ever.

That is why it would be difficult to get as much as he did previously (though not impossible)

Focusmind:
Whether he accepts or not, do you think that Obi/Kwakwaso or Kwakwaso/Obi ticket can dislodge PBAT? The biggest threat to PBAT is Atiku/Obi ticket but since they could not agree, PBAT is retaining his seat.

While Atiku/Obi surely have more chances than the Obi/Kwakwaso, it's still not sure for PBAT due to the fact that the Margin in 2023 was not that large plus alot of things have happened since then. Check my analysis on why it is still anyone's game at this point

Tinubu - 8,794, 726

Atiku - 6,984,520

Obi - 6,101,533

Kwakwaso - 1, 496,678

Obi + Kwankwaso = 7,598,211 They still need 1,196,515 votes to compete as regards total votes!

This is not necessarily true, check my analysis
https://www.nairaland.com/8665419/2027-victory-not-guaranteed-apc

2027 election will be quite interesting especially for us fence sitters.

Let me first begin by stating that I maintain a non-partisan stance because I (like many others) believe that systemic challenges in the country are deeply rooted in every sector, enough that any president (no matter how good his intentions are) can only do so much.
Also, I'm mostly basing this analysis on the last election's official results. While some may debate the integrity of the previous results, for the sake of this analysis, we must use the official data as a baseline. If one assumes the previous process was flawed, one must also consider that such factors could persist, making it even more necessary to work with the available data.
Lastly, feel free to correct me if I overlook any factor.

First, the official 2023 election results:
APC (Tinubu): ~8.8 million votes
PDP (Atiku): ~7 million votes
LP (Obi): ~6.1 million votes
NNPP (Kwankwaso): ~1.5 million votes
Others

Let's begin with Atiku. I don't see any immediate reason why his support base should significantly increase or decrease (though there is a variable regarding politicians in the new alliance who could potentially work to increase the votes). But using the same baseline, Atiku maintains 7 million votes.

For Obi, similarly, I don’t see a clear reason for a major shift in his baseline of 6.1 million votes.

For Kwankwaso, the situation is more complex. It is unclear if his supporters would remain as committed if he were to run in a secondary role (such as Vice President) rather than for the Presidency. On the other hand, while he was not as prominent nationally in the last cycle, a formal alliance with Obi could expand his influence in the North. For this analysis, let’s assume these factors offset each other, leaving him with a 1.5 million vote pull.
Combining Obi and Kwankwaso, a potential coalition brings a total of roughly 7.6 million votes.

As for the APC, this is the most interesting variable. While the party secured nearly 8.8 million votes last time, repeating that may be difficult due to the socio-economic impact of the subsidy removal and the floating of the Naira. While these may not necessarily be bad policy decisions, we cannot overlook their effect on the daily life of Nigerians. If we estimate that 50% of those who voted for Tinubu are staunch party loyalists (a generous higher end estimate as the core base may be debatable) that accounts for 4.4 million votes. The remaining 4.4 million came from the South (mostly west) and parts of the North. Informal observations of current public sentiment suggest a shift; even in traditionally strong areas, a random sampling might yield mixed (if not visibly critical) reactions regarding re-election. Based on these trends, it is possible the APC might struggle to retain its previous margins and might only retain an additional 2 to 3 million votes at best (another generous estimate) from previous supporters, bringing their projected total to roughly 6.4 or 7.4 million.
This leaves us with three blocks of roughly 7 million to 7.6 million votes each. As for who would ultimately win, I'll leave that to God. However, as the title suggests, even with a divided opposition, victory remains uncertain for the APC due to the evolving socio-economic climate.

For the APC, there remain two unknown variables that could alter these projections. First, if the administration manages to significantly appease the public before the next election (though I'm not sure how because reinstating the subsidy would be economically unsustainable). Second, any unforeseen electoral variables or external factors could render this statistical analysis obsolete.

Summary/Key Takeaway:
From evidence and observations, APC's votes would likely decrease (due to the economic impact of the subsidy removal and floating of Naira) while Obi and Kwankwaso's votes will most likely be combined, which will probably put their numbers close to each other even with a divided opposition. As for the final winner, God decides.

Please feel free to correct me if I have overlooked any factor. I would appreciate input that is based on empirical analysis and logical thinking rather than personal preference.

ravensckar:
Pastor, you don make mistake. Na that other gender dey marry for money, not us. Even if money is involved, if enjoyment no follow, we won't reason the matter.

This lady fit no see any suitor. The way men dey reason different from that other gender.

Wetin I wan use house and financial support do? Make I come dey with woman wey fit bite me? Shuo!

Abeg, I'm trying not to laugh jare.

Best of luck to her!

Honestly you said my mind, not to mention then constant surveillance, I absolutely can't stand that, (not that one is planning to do a bad thing to anybody).

Let's see how things will turn out anyways, maybe some church members who "worship" the pastor would consider it a fair deal (either ways it isn't only because of money they will get married to her)

I've always been saying this

We can never get to AGI with transformers (LLM)
because they don't exactly "reason" but only have a large "dictionary" of texts (the whole internet content {which includes human conversations}) so it only match words the words in its memory with statistics/probability. Similar to how a human who has an English dictionary "technically" knows the meaning of all English words.

To reach AGI, we need something other than transformer models.
So leave all the B.S Sam Altman (and other CEOs) says about AGI

I don't know why I kinda find this funny, like AI is some magical wizard that can solve any problem.
Besides most things AI can do (reliably) has probably been explored by NVIDIA/google/open AI since they stand to gain the most from those solutions (esp. NVIDIA)

Any other new thing people might come up with and send to them e.g medical diagnosis/medical assistant, AI can't do it reliably (yet) it's risks (wrong/hallucinated diagnosis) far outweigh the merits, enough that even google and the likes aren't pushing for it (yet).

But who knows, there might be some localised problem those big tech missed, but I believe you don't necessarily need "AI" to solve those issues as a normal cleverly designed software/hardware can solve those problems.

I really hope the ones calling the Imam kidnapped recently planned work will also call this planned work, no, this one will be real to them but when it's Muslims kidnapped it's planned/arranged work.

But it's disheartening how the government keeps allowing this to continue, I really hope the people are rescued safe and sound.

The level of double standard on the forum is really appalling, if Christians are kidnapped/killed, it real, if it's Muslims, it's planned/arranged work. Yeah it has always has planned work since over a decade ago abi? Bunch of clowns

Can you you have sense of humanity for goodness sake

anonimi:
How is this story about federal govenment money allocated to one state's railway project related to Lagos IGR that is squeezed out of the masses

Yes indeed, Lagos IGR that is squeezed out of the masses but for how it's related is, Lagos state remit far more money to the federal government yearly than most states combined so it's very fair to get significantly more allocation back than other states as well.

EmptyGarden:
Monkey Dey work, bamboo Dey chop. Just carry the whole budget developed Lagos make other states continue to look like villages.

How much is your states IGR compared to Lagos, even when they got no allocation during Obasanjo's time, they were still fine

NB: not that I'm supporting the overwhelming taxes in Lagos nor supporting overinflated project budget

Yankee101:
Is moving federal funds to mostly one part of the country not illegal in a federalism?

Actually the case is reverse, Lagos IGR far exceeds most state (combined)
Though I'm against the obviously overinflated project budget

Harddiskng:
Lol at type 1 & type 2 muscle gibberish.

Oga strength is largely genetic. In other words it is subjective

Oh I thought you were open minded and ready to learn, but seems you can't even a simple google/AI research.

Anyways it's pointless to continue with you.

Harddiskng:
If you like training from now till next 10 years. There are still untrained men/women that will beat you.

Doesn’t that make strength subjective? (I am just whing you by this question because strength is indeed subjective. It is largely based on genetics something you didn't choose for yourself and like you said can be acquired by training)

Check the meaning of subjective

I won't continue this conversation with you until you research about type 1 and type 2 muscle fibres and their distribution in male/female adult, along with bone density in male and female

Harddiskng:
Physical weakness is subjective though.

I doubt you can beat anyone of the top 10 professional UFC women division fighters in the world. You vs anyone of them. You know who my money is on lol.

What if, “women are the weaker vessel” is a fallacy we have been cleverly sold by women to avoid jobs/situations they don’t to be involved with: like going to war

What's this one saying like this, why not compare any male UFC fighter to the strongest female UFC fighter,

How can you compare an untrained man to a trained woman, of course the point of training is to increase strength, so naturally women who undergo special training (though initially weaker than men) would gain strength comparable or superior to the average man, but what if the man now also begins training, no woman would be his match.

So no, strength/weakness isn't subjective.

Hmmmm, well I disagree with a number of things especially this "Men are not “naturally logical." Like are you kidding me, it's even an understatement to say women are "not naturally logical" women act more on feelings/emotions than logic, they are so invested in their personal feelings that they don't care about anything else, they want the world to revolve around their feelings.

It makes it quite difficult to understand them sometimes, I've never seen anyone complain about not being able to understand a man before.

Of course, not that men don't have feelings/emotions, they are not just as invested in it as women are.

If God is fair to all, why does he allow men to marry multiple wives but Women cannot marry multiple husbands?

This question has been on my mind since i was a kid!

Who told you a woman cannot marry multiple husbands? she can, she just have to do it one at a time i.e divorce one an marry another

As for the real answers to your question, the reason why women can't marry multiple husbands *at the same time* is that, there's no biological advantage to having multiple husbands simultaneously, she can't get pregnant for more than one man at a time. While that is not true for a man, a man can impregnate multiple women at the same time.

Leaving Islam aside, polygamy has being native to most African cultures (and somewhat encouraged), it is westernisation that makes people start questioning obvious fact like why men and women are not the same. God is indeed fair to all, just that men and women are not the same biologically, mentally and emotionally.

Quodseverismete:
You people are terribly annoying defending what is killing you because of peanut. Na christian dey speak Fulanis language and shout Allah akbou during operation?, continue to defend nons,ense, karma never forget, if na lie go and ask Tinubu

So by your logic, because you too shouted (typed) Allah akbou, you are also a Muslim?
Look, anybody can say anything they want to justify whatever they are doing doesn't necessarily mean they believe what they say and I also agree with that guy, Boko Haram has not benefited Islam in anyway if they are "supposedly" fighting for Islam.

Nobody is trivializing killing, we all want them gone even if foreign aid is needed.

Melagros:
COMRADES, when you hear denial in the first place, that means the claim/ allegation is true

I don't know what you guys want, if they didn't say anything, you'll say they didn't refute the "supposed" fact now they are debunking it, its also an issue, anyways below is the only picture of the school I could find online and as you can see, some (at least 50%) of the girls are on hijab, so the claim/allegation is indeed false

The same Nicki minaj!

Interesting

What have they done with the already payed tax, also most freelancer are already paying multiple taxes to both country and payment platforms

So the government won't really try to solve the and allow the plan to continue

Interesting

But it's sounds fishy to claim no experience at all
