Many of them are not qualified to teach even goats. If they had written that test it would have opened a huge can of worms like the one of Edo state where a school teacher could not read a simple sentence.

Simply put, "flushing out of cankerworms."

So funny

How does sitting for an examination lead to retrenchment? Except of course the teachers wrote their WAEC at "special centres" and cannot defend their qualifications.

They might have heard something about the exam now. You know it is possible for government to manipulate result to its favour

It is going gradually

Teachers in Ekiti State on Thursday said they
had no regret voting against ex-Governor
Kayode Fayemi in the June 21, 2014
governorship election in the State.
The teachers who spoke through their umbrella
body, the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Ekiti
chapter, said they voted against Fayemi for
introducing anti-teachers policies.
The union was reacting to a programme
anchored on Adaba FM, an Akure, Ondo State
based Radio Station, where some teachers were
said to have phoned Fayemi, who featured in a
live programme and apologised to him on
behalf of others, having compared his
administration with the present one.
The NUT Chairman, Comrade Samuel Akosile, in
a statement on Thursday described those who
rendered the apologies as Fayemi’s apologists
and not members of the Union.
He advised the former governor to refrain from
dragging the body into politics, saying, “In as
much as we do not want to be dragged into
politics because we are civil servants and
unionists, we feel constrained to ask Governor
Fayemi and his apologists that: who deserves
apology, Fayemi or Ekiti teachers in this
matter?.
“Do we need to apologise for refusing to sit for
an examination that was meant to retrench us?
Do we need to apologise for going on strike for
demanding for our rights for the payment of
27.5%? Do we need to apologise for standing
up as a union to oppose policies that are
inimical to educational development and
teachers’ welfare?.”
Akosile described the statement credited to All
Progressives Congress commending the
teachers for showing remorse and tendering
apologies as
uncalled for.
He said his members had no regret for voting
Fayose as the validly elected governor during
the governorship poll, urging the APC to stop
orchestrating fake individuals to act like his
members in a manner that could ridicule the
body.
He asked, “What has Fayose done to teachers
in less than three months into his
administration that calls for regret?
“From what happened before and during the
governorship election, we think the last
administration should realise that this kind of
media intrigue and shenanigan has no effect on
Ekiti people.
“Ekiti teachers have more than enough reasons
to vote Fayemi out of government and we can
never regret it,” Akosile added.

God will save us

Who told you they're supporting him, and what gives you the impression that they are not. For us to know this, we'll have to go to the polls.

I think someone has already cleared the air on that?

The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu,
praised President Goodluck Jonathan
Wednesday, after Nigeria pulled a last-minute
surprise that helped thwart a resolution calling
for an end to Israeli occupation of Palestinian
territory by 2017.
The resolution, presented to the United Nations
for approval, called for new talks based on
territorial lines that existed before Israel’s
occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem
and the Gaza Strip in 1967.
The proposal was the culmination of three
months of campaigning by the Palestinians at
the UN, and was backed by 22 envoys from
Arab states.
The Palestinians required nine votes from 15
permanent and non-permanent members of the
UN Security Council.
Nigeria is currently one the 10 non-permanent
members, with its tenure expiring in 2015. Chad
and Rwanda are the other African members.
But Palestine received eight votes, short of one,
during the vote which took place 11pm
Nigerian time.
The United States and Australia voted against
the resolution, while Russia, China, France,
Luxembourg, Jordan, Argentina, Chile and Chad
voted for the resolution.
Nigeria, Britain, South Korea, Rwanda and
Lithuania abstained.
Nigeria’s role stood out because until shortly
before the vote, diplomats had expected the
resolution to get nine “yes” votes, with Nigeria
believed to be in support.
But at the last minute, Nigeria’s envoy, Joy
Ogwu, abstained from voting, echoing the
position of the United States that the ultimate
path to peace between Israel and Palestine lies
“in a negotiated solution”.
Regardless of whether Palestine received nine
votes, the resolution still stood no chance as
U.S. would have deployed its veto powers as a
permanent member to block it.
But analysts believe the U.S. sought to avoid
that scenario as it would have angered Arab
allies who are currently supporting a US-led
international coalition against the Islamic State
in Iraq and Syria, ISIS.
To save the U.S. from that awkward position,
its Secretary of States, John Kerry, reached out
to Nigeria to help block the move, the Times of
Israel reported.
After the vote, U.S. envoy, Samantha Power,
said “We voted against this resolution not
because we are comfortable with the status
quo. We voted against it because… peace must
come from hard compromises that occur at the
negotiating table.”
The Prime Minister, Mr. Netanyahu, also said
he personally spoke to President Jonathan and
received his assurance of support.
“I would like to voice appreciation and thanks
to the United States and Australia, and also
special appreciation for the president of
Rwanda, my friend Paul Kagame, and the
president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan. I
spoke with both of them. They told me and
promised me, personally, that they would not
support this resolution. They kept their word,
and that’s what clinched this matter. I think
this is very important for the state of Israel,”
Mr. Netanyahu said.
Some Israeli media hailed the cordial relations
between Mr. Jonathan and Mr. Netanyauhu,
with the Times of Israel recalling how President
Jonathan visited Israel during his last
pilgrimage with a 20-member delegation, and
how Mr. Netanyahu condoled with Nigeria after
the Kano Mosque blast that killed more than
100 people.
Nigeria’s position on the complex Israel and
Palestine issue has been that of neutrality for
years, in the belief that any decision must be
attained through negotiations.
Nigeria has maintained that policy in what
analysts believe is informed by the
government’s sensitivity to many factors
including, not wanting to be seen as supporting
Palestine’s Hamas, or opposing the United
States.
A major factor also is the religious angle back
home, with many Nigerian Muslims supporting
Palestine, while there is also the Christianity
affiliation between Nigeria and Israel.

I thought Nigeria will be there

Whatever will be will be

Hmmm, it's okay

customized13:
Majority of the voters are not Yorubas and not the total population of southwest

You may be true here, because yorubas are not always concerned about the presidency, they believe in only the governorship elections.

customized13:
political thuggery is a prominent exercise in southwest, they will prefer to involve themselves in this rather than voting.

NB: yorubas are not southwesterners, southwesterners are occupant of southwest geopolitical zone of Nigeria.

It is true, but 90% are Yoruba

Hilariously hilarious

customized13:
PDP will surely win southwest, majority of the voters in southwest are not yorubas.

I don't get your point, do you mean south westerners (yorubas) don't vote or what?

All these can be achieved without getting ready for marriage now

Greatihex:
is this all u have to contribute?

You know what, I used to think Nigeria is the only country where such happens, but it has shown to me that all around the globe, people are jealous of each other.

dcaliph:

akoraye:
Is this not Gani Olaoluwa that claimed he had his Higher National Diploma (HND) before Ordinary National Diploma (OND)? PDP una own don fini-sh!

U funny, how can someone have HND before OND. It means the guy knows nothing at all. But, do you have the source of that news

Let them continue to say theirs, the people will speak for themselves. They have the power of change in their thumb.

Some people are insane o, do they think it is easy to get soldiers. They are now dismissing the little ones they have

This FG is funny

Welcome to Nigeria, the land richly blessed but underutilized. You came at the right time, the exact time we are expecting a change.

Game and Nigeria

APC has Lai, PDP has Fani. Let the propaganda continue

ok
