celebrating independence without electricity.
God will punish all this so called politicians that has decided to milk this country dry.
no more prayers for u guys.

Leaders should not be cursed, pray to God for their guidance. If you curse them, you are indirectly cursing yourself and your family. Besides, many have been cursing them and its not effective, why not try the positive which is prayers. perhaps, they may change for good. You have nothing to loose in goodness.

Why is Gowon the only former president/head of state attending such events?
It's like his olfactory nerves are damaged and hence, can't smell Buhari's body odour

That Buhari still remains your President till 2023

Has Our country gotten so bad that people now have to walk in Gutters as sidewalks instead of the roads

Can you imagine in this photo a man is walking in the gutter Instead of the road and which shows now that The gutter is now the road while the road is now the gutter ...

What a very terrible situation.

How did you know its Nigeria ?

4 years of owing salaries + 4 extra years of owing again =

My sincere condolences to the people of Kogi and Bayelsa

Can you kindly bring up proof that he owed salaries for four years, or you just heard it from questionable media outlets ?

Jman06:
Yes bro, if APC refuses to zone their presidential ticket to the southeast, we'll support a northern candidate from PDP! It's just a political strategy and we owe you no apology for whatever strategy we decide to adopt.

No party would zone it's candidature to a restricted region, rather, it's going to be zoned to a full region, either North or South.

No any sane party will zone it's ticket to SE. The one that does, has outrightly loss the election.

in 2023, I think APC will give both the SW, SS and SE the opportunity to field a candidate to represent the entire south, just like PDP did in 2019. In the end, SW candidate will emerge because they have played their card well. the party would pick the VP candidate from the North to attract votes. in the end, easterners are just going to shout "marginalization" for some time and nothing more. they would resort to support PDP candidate even though they aren't flying it's card.

APC will win convincingly with block of votes from SW and North, power of incumbency. Remember, Votes from SE hardly make any difference in a free and fair election

life goes on.

We have a lot of insecurity issues ravaging the land.

Armed killers have besieged Abuja-Kaduna road with lots of lives lost.

Samson Siasia's mother has been in the kidnappers den for months now.

The killers of Pa Fasoranti's daughter are still at large.

And of all these 'open' cases the police decides their utmost priority is a cross-dresser's party.

We have lost it as a country.

He also has a case to answer

It's good they told him... At this age and time Buhari is happily telling Nigerians that by 2023 we'll be generating 11,000MW,

How many MW did your hero, Drunkard added to what he met before him and his party were sent parking ?

alsudan:
Nuhu Ribadu or Hell Rufai will be APCs Presidential candidate for the 2023 elections, most likely the former. Afonjas can take that to the bank. #intheknow

No, I quite disagree with you. The constitution of Nigeria, APC, PDP and other part's constitution depicts that any candidate from any region can contest for a primary election under his party, to emerge as the flag bearer for the general polls. I don't see how your hallucinations comes to day light.

PaChukwudi44:
I always knew the APC will not field a southerner in 2023

Which of the constitution was it written that someone from a rejoin must be fielded ? was a Northerner Fielded in 2015 ?

The Haj is meant to be a great equaliser and unifier among Muslims, with pilgrims shedding overt displays of wealth and materialism.


More than 2.5 million Muslims began Haj on Friday in Saudi holy city of Makkah. The Haj consists of a series of religious rites which are completed over five days in Islam's holiest city and its surroundings in western Saudi Arabia.
"All of the arms of state have been deployed (and) we are proud to serve as 'God's hosts'," said security forces spokesman Bassam Attia.
In total some 2.5 million faithful, the majority from abroad, are undertaking the pilgrimage this year.


"More than 1.8 million visas were delivered online without the need for middlemen. It's a success," said Haj ministry official Hatim bin Hassan Qadi.
"We feel cleansed by achieving this pillar of Islam and meeting people from across the world. It's marvellous," said Mohamed Jaafar, a 40-year-old Egyptian pilgrim.
"It's an indescribable feeling. You have to live it to understand it," said an Algerian in his fifties completing the pilgrimage for the first time.
"It's a golden opportunity and moment," said his female companion.

During the pilgrimage separate streams of men and women, grouped by nationality, travelled to Mina on foot or in buses provided by the authorities.
A district of Makkah, Mina sits in a narrow valley surrounded by rocky mountains and is transformed each year into a vast encampment for pilgrims.
A total of "350,000 air-conditioned tents have been pitched," said a Saudi official.
Haj sermon

The millions of faithful will gather at Mount Arafat on Saturday (today) for a vigil to atone for their sins and seek God's forgiveness as Haj pilgrimage reaches its climax.
The Saudi General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque has said that sermon of Day of Arafat will be broadcast in six languages through FM radio. The sermon will be available on smartphone app as well as on the General Presidency website.
An official from the authority affirmed that the project - in its second year - witnessed a technical and organisational development since last year as it includes several technical means to enable users to benefit from translation in the holy sites with five radio frequencies.
After descending, they will gather pebbles and perform the symbolic "stoning of the devil".
That marks the beginning of Eid Al Adha, the festival of sacrifice, marked on Sunday. Pilgrims then return to the Grand Mosque to perform a final "tawaf" or walk around holy Kaaba.

What is the purpose of Haj?
The Haj is a pillar of Islam, required of all Muslims once in a lifetime. It is a physically demanding journey that offers a chance to wipe clean past sins and start anew before God. Pilgrims seek to deepen their faith on the Haj, with some women adopting the head covering known as the "hijab."
Despite the physical challenges, many people rely on canes or crutches and insist on walking the routes. Those who cannot afford the Haj are sometimes financed by charities or community leaders. Others save their entire lives to make the journey.
What is the history of the Haj?
While following a route the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once walked, Muslims trace the rites of Haj back to prophets Ibrahim and Ismail.
Muslims believe prophet Ibrahim's faith was tested when God commanded him to sacrifice his only son Ismail. Ibrahim was prepared to submit to the command, but then God stayed his hand, sparing his son.
Pilgrims also trace the path of prophet Ibrahim's wife, Hagar, who ran between two hills seven times searching for water for her dying son. Tradition holds that God then brought forth a spring that runs to this day.

Why is holy Kaaba so important?
Islamic tradition holds that the Kaaba was built by prophet Ibrahim and Ismail as a house of monotheistic worship thousands of years ago. Over the years, the Kaaba was reconstructed and attracted different kinds of pilgrims who once lived in the Arabian Peninsula. In pre-Islamic times, the Kaaba was used to house pagan idols worshipped by local tribes.
Muslims do not worship the Kaaba, but it is Islam's most sacred site because it represents the metaphorical house of God and the oneness of God in Islam. Observant Muslims around the world face towards the Kaaba during their five daily prayers.
What are the rituals performed during Haj?
Pilgrims enter into a state of spiritual purity known as "ihram" that is aimed at shedding symbols of materialism, giving up worldly pleasures and focusing on the inner self over outward appearance.
Women forgo makeup and perfume and wear loose-fitting clothing and a head covering, while men dress in seamless, white terrycloth garments. The white garments are forbidden to contain any stitching - a restriction meant to emphasise the equality of all Muslims and prevent wealthier pilgrims from differentiating themselves with more elaborate garments.
Muslims are forbidden from engaging in sexual intercourse, cutting their hair or trimming nails while in the state of ihram. It is also forbidden for pilgrims to argue, fight or lose their tempers during Haj. Inevitably, though, the massive crowds and physical exhaustion of the journey test pilgrims' patience and tolerance.

The first day of Haj
The Haj traditionally begins in holy city of Makkah, with a smaller "umrah" pilgrimage which can be performed year-round. To perform the umrah, Muslims circle holy Kaaba counter-clockwise seven times while reciting supplications to God, then walk between the two hills travelled by Hagar. Grand Mosque, the world's largest, encompasses the Kaaba and the two hills.
Before heading to holy city of Makkah, many pilgrims also visit holy city of Madinah, where the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is buried and where he built the first mosque.
The second day of Haj
After spending the night in the massive valley of Mina, the pilgrims head to Mount Arafat, some 20 kilometres east from Makkah, for the pinnacle of the pilgrimage.

Thousands will also scale a hill called Jabal Al Rahma, or Mountain of Mercy. It is here where the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) delivered his final sermon, calling for equality among mankind and for Muslim unity. He reminded his followers of women's rights and that every Muslim life and property is sacred.

Around sunset, pilgrims head to an area called Muzdalifa, 9 kilometres west of Arafat.
Many walk, while others use buses. They spend the night there and pick up pebbles along the way that will be used in a symbolic stoning of the devil back in Mina, where Muslims believe the devil tried to talk Ibrahim out of submitting to God's will.
The final three days of Haj
The last three days of the Haj are marked by three events: a final circling of holy Kaaba, casting stones in Mina and removing the ihram. Men often shave their heads and women clip a lock of hair at the end in a sign of renewal.
The final days of Haj coincide with Eid Al Adha, or the festival of sacrifice, celebrated by Muslims around the world to commemorate Ibrahim's test of faith. During the three-day Eid, Muslims slaughter livestock and distribute the meat to the poor.
The Haj in numbers

17,000 civil defence employees and thousands of security personnel deployed
30,000 health practitioners have been prepped for medical treatment of pilgrims
5,600 hotels and apartment buildings with capacity of 2.7m are dedicated to pilgrims
4,000 cleaners, equipped?with 400 machines deployed to clean Grand Mosque
30 million Pilgrims the Kingdom hopes to welcome annually by 2030
96 million Pilgrims have performed Haj over the past 50 years

lastly, its Sunnah for the us to Fast and engage in good deeds today.

I pray Almighty Allah accept our deeds as an act of Ibadah. Ameen

Good evening everyone.NECO COORDINATION/MARKING starts tomorrow and we were sent a text message to go to necoops.org to print our invitation letter.But the website necoops.org is not working.What should we do now?

Sometimes, our civil service try to appease the public because they must have to. the NECO standing rule is that markers should be chosen via temporary appointment which must be advertised. This is why they opened that site which is unlikely to be used. these set of applicants must not come from the council. This was what led to people being directed to.... how can marking start tomorrow and u still haven't selected your checkers ? its impossible!

The list of markers came out from the headquarters on Monday. They state chapters were notified. the markers have been selected from their staff. they could not even absorb some of their Senior Officers. The Markers are going to be paid straight from the headquarters, in Minna. is there room for outsiders ? maybe! those selected can decide to get people to rep them and they pay them out of their stipend. This is totally allowed. And that is why u see some people even taking their scripts home. I would advice anyone interested to walk confidently to any marking venue close by, talk to the Venue coordinator (VC), you can easily be accommodated. Some of the markers wouldn't be able to stand the rigour of the process because they just came back from supervision and other respective assignments during JJ exams. This might lead to negotiations, substitution.


Coordination is done by a Venue Coordinator (VC). They have already been chosen. Some of them are from the council. Those that are not, they have Oga at d top.

Now, the only available opportunity I can assure interested people is the Checking. Its the process of crosschecking recorded scores of the candidates after the examiners have marked it. This is to make sure there is transparency, coherency and fairness for all students irrespective of their tribe, religion or region. Its a stressful thing but its worth it instead of sitting at home doing nothing. it starts from 7:30a.m to 5pm+ depending on centre's capacity. They pay 700-1000. This depends on your Venue Coordinator.

Am sorry about my poor control of English Language but I hope this helps out.

I'm currently undergoing my NYSC with NECO, Kaduna.

infinitio:
Please, who has idea concerning NECO checkers; the pay, the checking duration and is it possible to be an examiner and at the same time a checker?

Thanks for ur urgent response

the checkers are paid 700-1k stipend everyday, this depends on the venue coordinator. The checking duration differs from marking venue to marking venue. NECO gives them target date to finish but some venues don't meet up with others due to number of schools at their disposal. The starting time is mostly 7:30, closes by 5PM+ depending on how fast the makers and checkers are respectively. The examiners are absorbed mostly from NECO staff, paid from headquarter. But some of them choose people to rep them. The case has even deteriorated this year coz they could not accommodate some of their staff that have been marking.

. Checkers are chosen among core members serving with them and people from outside the council randomly. I'm currently serving with NECO, KD and I can categorically tell u that u can be given all these if u have ur way.

I hope this helps a bit

I love this shiiite people, unlike lamidi kanu and his band of coward online noise makers

When Muslims believe in a course, they can go to all length to attain it for as long as it's within the law circle. In the case of Shiites, they are extremists that can lay down their life anytime, e dey give them joy. The difference is clear. These guys aren't afraid of dying for what they believe in, unlike the e- warriors and the chest beaters from that particular region. Am sure u know them!
