Do they wear skirts during non combat trainings?

Can one wear skirt to do those trainings done in the NYSC camp?
From climbing ropes, jumping dwarf fences, crawling underneath barbwire, etc, etc?

I do not know. I have never tried it.

My comment was in response to this:

Peter Obi should go and donate for them in Kebbi right away.

in matters like this are you saying that you trust obi more to show more empathy than tinubu who is the head of government of the federal republic of nigeria?

are you now saying that you have more faith in Obi without a public office to provide for the welfare of nigerians with his personal funds than for those in government led by tinubu to provide for the welfare of nigerians with public funds?

The writer was only doing emotional blackmail and refused to state the traffic offence of the motorists. I know FRSC will not just stop them because they went to worship.

from the story, what traffic laws were broken?

how is Trump and his rich friends donating?

is he no longer putting America first?

his treasury secretary is a billionaire. how much is he donating?

stuffs2002:
Since when is doing your job harassment.

Because you are a worshiper, you feel you are above the law and should be allowed to break traffic laws.

These are the kind of mentality that puts many Nigerians in trouble whenever they travel out of the country because sentiments and emotional blackmail will not work in developed countries

from the story, what traffic laws were broken?

AngelSlay:
Why Fuel Subsidy Removal in Nigeria Was Considered Necessary

1. Too Expensive to Sustain:
Nigeria spent ₦4–6 trillion annually on subsidies, more than education and health combined. This caused budget deficits, borrowing, and underinvestment in infrastructure.

2. Benefited the Rich More:
Wealthier Nigerians consumed more fuel and gained more from the subsidy. The poor suffered the most from the resulting inflation and poor public services. Smuggling to neighboring countries worsened the problem.

3. Corruption Was Rampant:
Fraud, ghost fuel imports, and fake companies plagued the subsidy system.

4. Global and Local Experts Warned for Years:
The IMF, World Bank, and Nigerian economists urged its gradual removal, calling it fiscally irresponsible.

5. Past Attempts Failed:
Jonathan (2012) and Buhari (2020) tried and failed to remove it fully. Tinubu removed it abruptly in 2023.

Why you and Nigerians Oppose It:

- Poor timing (high inflation, unemployment).
- No social safety nets or alternatives.
- Widespread distrust in how savings will be used.

What Should Have Been Done Differently:

- Gradual phase-out,
- Strong public communication,
- Welfare programs (cash transfers, public transport),
- Local refinery development,
- Transparent use of savings.

Subsidy removal makes economic sense, but the way it was done hurt ordinary Nigerians the most — with no cushion to soften the blow.1. Saudi Arabia: Gradually removed subsidies with strong government support and cash transfers to citizens.

2. Iran: Still subsidizes but uses a rationing system and gives cash payments to help the poor.

3. UAE: Fully deregulated fuel prices since 2015 and invested in public transport.

4. Angola: Recently removed subsidies; now introducing cash transfers to reduce the shock.

5. Venezuela: Kept fuel extremely cheap, leading to economic collapse, smuggling, and fuel shortages.

🟩 Nigeria’s Approach (Compared to Others)

- Removed subsidy suddenly, with little or no relief programs.
- Still importing fuel, making prices very high.
- Citizens don’t trust the government to use savings well.
- No working refineries, poor public transport, and weak safety nets.

Key Lesson: Subsidy removal isn’t bad by itself — but without proper planning, support, and alternatives, it hits citizens hard. Other countries eased the pain with cash transfers, gradual timing, and real reforms. Nigeria skipped that part.

my question is this:

where are you people getting this information that removal of fuel subsidy was necessary?

I do not see where you answered the question.

1. where did you get your "₦4–6 trillion annually on subsidies" from?

did you do an audit of fuel subsidy payments and arrived at this amount?

2. Since fuel subsidy has been "removed", has it prevented wealthier nigerians from consuming more fuel than poor nigerians?

you claimed that "The poor suffered the most from the resulting inflation and poor public services".

Pls how did fuel subsidy cause inflation?

how was fuel subsidy responsible for "poor public services"?

now that tinubu has "removed" it, is inflation now zero and are the poor now enjoying public services?

can you shed light on how smuggling of petroleum products were smuggled out of nigeria?

which problem did smuggling worsen?

3. according to you "Corruption Was Rampant".

now, has corruption stopped in the entire nigeria?

was it fuel subsidy that was responsible for corruption in nigeria as a whole?

4. what makes these "Global and Local Experts Warned for Years:

how many times have you heard these your "Global and Local Experts" warn Europe and the US that giving agricultural, hydrogen, renewable gas subsidies "fiscally irresponsible"?

are you aware that "The UK government currently provides an estimated £17.5 billion in fossil fuel subsidies and support per year".

are you aware that the EU, US, Canada, Japan, China, Korea and even South Africa all pay child subsidies?

have you heard any of your experts ever call it "fiscally irresponsible"?

5. past attempts at what failed?

if "past attempts" failed, what is osinbajo talking about in the pix below?

6. how does Subsidy removal make economic sense?

7. what is the "cushion" you are talking about and where will the money for the "cushion" come from?

8. how long will the "cushion" be provided?

according to you...Angola: Recently removed subsidies; now introducing cash transfers to reduce the shock.

and Venezuela: Kept fuel extremely cheap, leading to economic collapse, smuggling, and fuel shortages.

9. how much is the cash transfer that Angola is providing? how long will it be providing these cash transfers?

10. what is the wisdom in removing fuel subsidies and then dashing people free money to do what fuel subsidy was doing and even better?

11. how did fuel subsidy singlehandedly lead to Venezuela's economic collapse?

Nadingo:
No I didn't because I already know. What stops you from knowing your answer also?

Legitz:
Yes it's real Bible and Quran including Traditional beliefs acknowledged them,Yoruba call them emere ( they are different types based on how they do their meeting, Either in T junction , refuse dump site , water or sky) and some ladies are possessed with witchcraft ( it can be black ,Red or White). To appease them when they are angry ,you have to appease them in line with the type of spiritual coven they belong to , either you take some ritual stuffs to river , T - junction,e.t.c
Some were born with the witchcraft power ( transferred to them by their mothers and such baby will suddenly be crying from sleep at midnight because he or she is seeing some spiritual beings in the dream )some ladies used to seek for the power and get it through friends that is already possessed ( they used to seek for witchcraft or marine power so as to defend themselves , protect their children and to torture any man that offend them ( mostly their husband)
The Marine spirit or witchcraft Spirit is an unseen Demon( Jinn or Alujanu) Yoruba beliefs they are the cane God use in correcting any human that isn't doing Gods will

There is no any good thing in marrying a lady that is possessed with marine or witchcraft power , if you're a billionaire and you marry them ,if you're not spiritually strong ,they'll make you become poor , they'll tie your Glory spiritually , disorganize your job , life and finances , they will want you to be at their mercy and want you to be licking their foots before they'll untie you small . in fact when they tie someone ,it will take a powerful Alfa or Pastor to break you from their grips or boundage, in fact you'll be going from one church to another , mountain to mountain and it will be as if God didn't answer your prayers , reason because those marine or witchcraft possessed ladies used to take permission from God before inflicting pains on someone. As Pastor ,Alfa and Babalawo are praying to God ,that is how those possessed women always seek God's stamp in treating someones Bleep up ( God said call me I'll answer, God didn't specify if it's only Good people that should be calling him, meaning that if Bad people call him ,he will answer , in fact in the Bible Satan took permission from God to tempt Jesus and to inflict pains on Job) When possessed lady is inflicting pains on you infact you won't know they are the one because they'll be doing eye service , trying to show love and care ,they might even be fasting for you and swearing for your enemy, pls take note that it's a fake fasting oh because deep inside their heart ,they know they are the one behind your problem . In fact they maybe using the image of your mother to inflict pains on you , and any where you go to pray , they'll be seeing your mother , here by causing misunderstanding between you and your mom ,this is a method to withdraw you from your mother so that you can be seeing your mother as a bad person , this will make you to disconnect totally from your mother , you know some of our mother's are prayerful type , they know if things didn't go well for you ,your mother will be praying for you and they know your mother might be going from one pastor to Alfa , If you're both attending church that is spiritually Sound ,a possessed wife will find one or two excuse to withdraw the husband from attending that type of church because she knows anytime she wants to attack you in spiritual coven , God may reveal it to any of the church member or the pastor. And if you're a Muslim that you're attached to One Alfa or the other ,she will use style to disconnect you from that Alfa , either by badmouthing the Alfa or going against his teachings.
If your the type that doesn't go to church or mosque, she won't bother you , disturb or encourage you to be going to church or mosque so that you won't be closer to God and when you're far from God that's when she can be able to operate under your roof

This is part of the tactics of those possessed ladies, to first disconnect you from someone or places that can help you fight spiritual battles .

Take note that they don't forgive , they don't yield to corrections when you end up marrying
them , you can't date or marry them and double date or make attempts to marry second wife even when they are they one not giving you peace on the marriage ,they prefer you and her to be rolling in poverty . They'll use their spiritual power to make you poor and they'll be telling you that they are the source of your money and once they get angry at you that your source of income will be badly messed ,they dont have have the power to give anybody money ,ask yourself why those possessed ladies don't used to make their own father or brothers rich ,why is it that they have to wait to marry and make their husband rich ,they can scatter things but they can't organize things. If they marry a poor guy ,that guy will later become poorer, they only used to go for guys that have glory, guys that have the potential of making it big in life or guys that are already making money, you know that all this possessed ladies used to have the 3rd eyes that is only for seeing the Future or seeing spiritually ,they can always identify a guy with glory

They used to show kind and cool behavior during courtship but once you make the mistake to Marry them , you're in soup , they'll never bow to you as the head of the house , reason because they believe they are also head ( head in spiritual coven)

They hate prayers, although they might be going to church but once they noticed the husband is a prayerful type especially during midnight , just be expecting different drama from them during the day because they believe the husband is disturbing their evil spirit from attending meetings at night

seek spiritual guidance before choosing a spouse to marry and don't ignore red flags

Yoruba adage says (No matter how you throw handfan , It'll always be using its flat side to rest on the floor) their is nothing good in marrying any lady possed with marrine or witchcraft spirit , they are always aggressive in marriage ,over jealous. Anytime you offend them , they'll attack your source of money and makes your helpers not to help you again, and it'll take you only the grace of God for you to get back on your feet , that's why those ladies use to say they are the source of my boyfriend or husband money but when he offended me ,he become poor or they sack him from his place of job. It's a lie that they make the guy to have money ,they only used spiritual unseen power to bring that man down so as to punish him and make him bow to her ( girlfriend / wife)
You too as a man will be afraid to break up with her because you know if you make such attempt ,your finances will be attacked (Men fear poverty than death) especially if you've been making money

They always rush to get married to any cool guy that they know is not spiritually stand, they love rushing to get married to a man that his eyes is blind spiritually .

Imagine you as a man with clean spirits now getting married to a lady that is possessed that anytime she sleeps beside you at night ,her spirits is already wandering operating around in darkness coven ,doing meetings , inflicting pains on other humans life, turning to owl ,bats ,lizard ,wall gecko,croackcrock.

The different between Witch and Emere is that Witch can transform into animals that dominate at night such as owl ,bat , cockroach,e.tc but Emere can't transform to animal but they can be beside you physical in Imo state , while their spirit have already traveled to Kwara state to inflict pains on someone or to attend meetings in their coven , some ladies can be an Emere without knowing, she will only be dreaming of meeting herself in meetings and seeing strange creatures, and anytime she think of bad thing to someone ,that bad thing can happen to that person, as for Witch , any lady possessed with witchcraft always know they belong to witch.
Most of the time a powerful spiritual person can chase away marine spirit inside a lady but witchcraft Spirit can't be chased away , a witch will die the day the witchcraft Spirit in her leaves her, that's why they used to run mad or die whenever they confess , according to history, they said it's a covenant between Witches and God

where in the Bible is "marine girls" acknowledged?

ogbeni, does God know who a celebrity is and who is not a celebrity?

is it celebrity that should be the focus of going to church or Jesus?

Mark 10
21 Looking at him, Jesus showed love to him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 22 But he [a]was deeply dismayed by [b]these words, and he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

23 And Jesus, looking around, *said to His disciples, “How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus responded again and *said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

PythonPro001:
If he wasn't looking for crowd, does that mean he wants the majority of people to perish ?
But then, he actually instructed his disciples to go all around the world preaching the gospel. If he wasn't looking for crowd, why did he give that instruction ?

Matthew 7:14:

But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

PythonPro001:
The role that social media has played in the spread of the gospel is tremendous. Considering this, I wonder why Jesus didn't think to invent some technology for communicating with a large number of people simultaneously 🤔

because unlike you, Jesus was not looking for crowd:

Matthew 7:14:

But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

these men and women of God are proving that spreading the Word can trend just as much as Afrobeats

this one is comparing the gospel to afrobeat.

is afrobeat the standard for the gospel?

it seems that you are into entertainment and you think the gospel fits into that mould.

Matthew 7:21-23:
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.

Many will say to Me in that Day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name, and in Thy name have cast out devils, and in Thy name done many wonderful works?

Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’’

that is because tinubu has nothing to offer apart from ethnic politics.

Tinubu is ever strategic in getting things done when they need to be done.


See how he has been able to douse the tension generated as a result of the MB's insistence of having the position of the national chairman zoned to the area with this masterstroke of an appointment.


The expectation of the so-called opposition that getting a new national chairman would be a Herculean task for the APC, was swiftly dashed.


Instead, Baba strategist a.k.a the Jagaban of the universe, brought his astuteness to bear and all members of the party went home feeling reassured and satisfied.


This is leadership at its best!


He's crossing the t's and dotting the i's well ahead of others who are still at crossroads as we speak.


Abeg, follow who know road!
