hahn:for where? Pensioners and state workers owing like 4months with some part payments debts. |
Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, says Osun State received only N55m from the Federation Account for the month of September, 2015. He said the money could not even settle the electricity bill of the government secretariat. The governor said the development was evidence that Nigeria was experiencing an economic meltdown. He, therefore, called on residents of the state to return to agriculture as oil could no longer sustain the nation’s economy. The governor said this during the inauguration of the new Ife/Orile-Owu 33KV feeder line at Orile-Owu in Ayedaade Local Government Area of the state, according to a statement on Sunday. The governor said that apart from the price issue, crude oil was no longer selling as fast as it used to, adding that Nigeria must seek other sources of revenue. He said, “We must at this point tell ourselves the truth; there is no money coming from the Federation Account, 34 million barrels of Nigeria’s crude oil are on the sea without buyers.“Money coming from the Federation Account has reduced seriously and our hope of survival is in our hands, what our forefathers lived on was agriculture. “We must now go back to the farms and work. We also need to pay our taxes so that the government can meet its responsibilities. For September, our state got N55.8 million. The money we received cannot pay for the power supply by IBEDC that we use at the state secretariat monthly. “I want to use this opportunity to admonish us to return to the farms, what we used to rely on as a country and state is no longer there. Oil prices have now dropped seriously, even at about $41 per barrel from a price of over$ 100; Nigeria still cannot sell her oil in the international market.”The governor said his administration recently gave hectares of land to the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture for farming and with the electrification of Orile-Owu and other farm settlements, there would be a boost in agriculture around these areas. He urged the people of the state to pay their taxes to the government to discharge its duties. However, the Peoples Democratic Party said the receipt of a paltryN55m by Osun State as the allocation from the Federation Account for the month of September was a confirmation that the state was highly indebted. The spokesperson for the PDP in Osun State, Mr. Diran Odeyemi, who said this in a statement on Sunday, stated that the allocation remained N55m after deductions of over N1bn to service its debts were made from the source. The PDP stated that the people of the state should know why Osun State got a paltry N55m while those in the same category with it got about N2bn. The statement read, “We have been saying it long before now that Osun State has been slaughtered and eaten up by a gluttonous administration that has been in power in the last five years. The gimmick early this year was ‘Jonathan didn’t give Osun money’ but now, that cannot sell again, hence the confession. “Before the confession by Ogbeni Aregbesola, three Nigerian newspapers on Friday, November 20, published an allocation table and Osun got N55m, after all deductions, and came last. The next state to Osun among the least earners got N1.5bn. “What other signs do we need to see that Osun has completely fallen into a recession? But the people of Osun deserve to know from their leader how the state got into this quagmire. This leads us to the question of how much Osun owes. Mr. Governor said the state owes N88bn. But we insist the amount is far more than this.”The party warned the governor against slamming high taxes on the people of the state, adding that the administration had already impoverished the people with its policies. In a separate statement, the Civil Society Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State also said that Aregbesola’s administration had no right to collect any taxes from the people ofthe state because of its failure to comply with the sections of the constitution which stipulates conditions for the collection of taxes. The chairman of the group, Mr. Sulaiman Adeniyi, said this in a statement made available to our correspondent on Sunday. He said the policies of the government had led to the total collapse of the economy of the state and accused the administration of massive corruption and failure to perform its duties to the people. http://dailyindependentnig.com/2015/11/30/osuns-federal-allocation-cant-pay-electricity-bill-aregbesola/

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has called on universities in the country and other relevant bodies to drop the idea of making English language and mathematics compulsory for admissions into higher institutions. According to a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sam Onwuemeodo, the governor averred that making these two subjects compulsory for admissions had frustrated many brilliant students who for some reasons could not pass any of the two subjects, in their bid for higher education. Okorocha, who said this when the Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of the National Examination Council, (NECO), Prof. Abdulrashid Garba visited him at the Government House Owerri, with his team, stressed that the time has come for all the concerned bodies in the country to help our education and also help students with the ambition of pursuing higher education, by dropping the demand that a child must credit English and mathematics to gain admission. According to the governor, because of the rule that made it mandatory that Nigerian students must credit English and mathematics before they could proceed to higher institutions, some students indulge in some unconventional activities to scale the hurdle while some of the brilliant ones who could not make the subjects for one reason or the other would be made to stay at home. https://www.today.ng/news/national/44785/okorocha-to-neco-english-mathematics-shouldnt-be-compulsory?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C5931107440 CC: lalasticlala, seun, Mynd44, OAM4J, olawalebabs,Fynestboi and Richiez

thatsincerechic:You see why i asked those questions the other time?? rather than tell me to keep following the story.. You carefully took your time to tongue-lash me for nothing. I Knew why i asked "What was the role of the fellowships then". Those arms, have helped thousands of students while i was way back in school. I knew of two friends that slept in the mission/fellowship house throughout a year. (Cos i use to go for an all-nighter reading in those fellowship). Like someone said, thank God you traced your path to God which has allowed you to conquer and excel against all odds. Am happy for your life and wish you the best! I hope you have learnt to be helping others too. And for the serious vituperation from you, i just can't say you erred, but like seriously, i had expected you as an Ex Gen Sec. of a student fellowship to have learnt to exhibit the virtues of calmness and tolerance, even when you are seriously annoyed! We should always learn not to let our mood swings get a better part of us. I writes too, but i must admit, you rocks. I have had the ample opportunity to get along with notable writers in seminars and social forum, i must tell you, the readers cum writers response have always been superb, even with nasty comments. Many takes it as a compliment, it's one of those things that comes with writings. Even Achebe's, Okigbo's, Cyprians, W.S and literary works of many writers have been seriously criticise from ingenuity to tribalism. It's a small world sis, we don't know who is who. Indeed, my time here has been worth the while and i can't but wish you all the best in Life. More grace and Wisdom. Micronut Writes...... |
hahn:Yes, that it is the bitter truth. The words of the Elders are the best. I won't stop giving but doing it only when i know it won't affect. Now people lie about school fees and their financial predicament, you discover many are just online fraudsters. May God help us. |
14teenK:Bros, i tell you. When they need your help, some would be crying and promising. Just give them what they want, that may be the last time you would see them. I wish people can be sincere, the world would have been a better place. |
Happy Sunday Fellas! Today makes it exactly 1year that the incident happened. And as a man, i had swept it aside because it was a chicken change (Small cash), but i felt it is worth sharing, at least to help all those who may fall victim of people that beg for help, every now and then, particularly online. Yes! It's a good thing to help, it is one of those things i love doing, but the wicked people have made helping a hard thing to do. Today, while surfing the net and Nairaland particularly, i came across a guy that needed 10k badly for his startup business, i wish i could help cos i have the means but i remember my experience. On 28th of Nov. 2014, I bought a University pre-degree scratch cards via e-transact for my junior sister at 15k, luckily she was given admission in another University that same day... I came to nairaland to sell the card at 10k after the 3rd day of buying it. Luckily, a young girl called me about few hours after, told me she needed the form. I said owk, that she should pay into an account and i would send the pin. She said she is scared not to be defrauded.I smiled and told her she has nothing to worry about. After 2hrs she called me back along with her bf, the guy chat me up on whatsapp and he said, they have fear that they just can't trust nairaland guys. I said fine, if that is the case...Can i also trust you too? He responded saying they are good Christians, that it is even me that they are scared of. I told him, owk.. I would send the pin, they should make sure they send my money on Monday, cos the day was on a Sunday. And that they should send me their Facebook ID. I did add them immediately and send the pin. I Checked the University portal that Sunday evening and discovered they have used the pin, saw all her data... she had filled the form, submitted and printed exam photo card. I called her, she said yes they filled the form at a cyber cafe.. I wish her all the best. Fast forward to Monday evening, i didn't see any payment in respect of that, no message from both end. After two days, i call the girl.. She begged me that something happened and that they have not forgotten, hopefully on Friday. After Friday, no show.. I Called again, this time, it's the boyfriend, you need to see how this guy was telling he is expecting one money in d next few weeks. I Laughed at both of them and gave them 2weeks deadline after which i would stop asking them and pray they would be paid back in folds. After 2weeks, no show again.. I saw them on Facebook doing big boy and girl lovers and using loving up dp, i just smile. I have to call them for the last time, that am done with them, and told them frankly that am bigger than 10k, just don't want the card to waste. It could have been better if they had begged for it. Till tomorrow, i never heard from them again. Moral lesson: Before you help, ensure you are helping the right person and not taking out of your little to enrich another, because their are thousands of fake Guys, folks that are not just trustworthy and many fraudsters out there. NB: You may share your experience for others to learn too. It makes men and women to be much more watchful and to be be extra careful as well.

owonoko:The only way you can be helped is to post a picture of yourself inside that bus. Get a friend to snap you left, right and centre. I can tell u 1001 people are ready to help u if u are geniune... post urself with the documents and the bus. Let me tell you my experience here, i bought a university pre-degree scratch cards via e-transact for my junior sister at 15k, luckily she was given admission in another uni... I came to nairaland to sell the card at 10k after the 3rd day of buying the card. A young girl called me about few hours after, told me she needed the form.

stereo:lol! Enjoy the mode. Take care. |
Mikkyboy008:Well, my angle is to ascertain the sudden neglect from home cos in the earlier part of the story, the mother still keep in touch but seems that fades away as time goes by. Hence, my reason for asking if the "poor woman" still strives to pay the tuition fee. Is that too much to ask?? Also, i also noticed Op is alone ranger, such is more of an "only child" not even a mention of a sister or brother... would it have hurt to clarify that too? An the "Jesu" and "Igbo names"side, just want to know if all characters names are not real names, like she said, "a pseudonym". It seriously has nothing to do with Ethical misdemeanor or as a chauvinist. But she choose to say it in a very angry manner. God bless bro. Lets Enjoy the story with patience, it's one of those things. |
babseg:Thanks bro.. I never envisaged the abrupt level of insult from someone that should understand people better. But, then it's all good! We keep learning everyday. That people criticise you shouldn't mean you call for their head and rub them off of the respect, it's simply called "Maturity". Once again, i appreciate you bro for seeing things in my little way too. God bless! |
thatsincerechic:Lol! I refuse to trade words or throw jabs at you. Check what have written very well and you would see have never undermine your efforts. Also, i asked those questions to further satisfy the burning curiosity shared, like many readers here to unravel some grey areas in the write up. Like many have said before me, no one is beyond questioning... It says more about the writer beyond the woven letters. But rather than address that, you carefully threw caution into the air to attarck the personality and became highly vilified. And for your last phrase, "Run along child". Whatever that means! would have love to reply back in same manner, but once again, i would also maintain my decorum. It's the best thing to do in a faceless group like this, cos you don't even know me, neither do i. I Would only advice you to be privy of the way you address people, and like i said early, it's says alot about who you are beyond what ever you might have passed. Enjoy your self! |
First time of making a comment on your thread! OP nawa ooo... I know u may not likely respond but like seriously, am forced to ask these questions; 1. How are u paying your school fees? 2. Are u an Only child? 3. Thought you said your fervent with church works, what is the fellowship role, cos i know they help in little ways. 4. Have never heard students now look for girls to cook for them in exchange for money like a service. Cos many students sef never bellefull. Anyway sha the i know this is an "aroso" descriptive essay converted to Nairaland series for our darling pleasure. You try well well. In addition, i also noticed your story portrayed an "Eastern University" with names like chuks, Andy, ikechukwu and rose. but the last episode with exclamation of "Jesu"is more of a Yoruba girl.. I dey gbadun you nonetheless sha! continue the tori. |
Taobra:lol! you still remember! would add u. once again congrats! welcome to the better by far family. |
NYSC DG DISCREDITS THE BAN OF HIJAB , SAYS "NOBODY CAN BAN THE USE OF HIJAB "Yesterday, (25th of November, 2015), several media houses misled Nigerians by spreading false headlines that Hijab has been banned in the NYSC scheme. Immediately, the National executives of the Muslim Corpers’ Association of Nigeria (MCAN) contacted the Director General of the scheme through a letter and Text messages to verify the news going viral. Prior to the misleading news from the media, the National Executives of MCAN met with the DG on (Tuesday, 24 of November, 2015 which corresponds to the 12th of Safar, 1437AH)with respect to the same Hijab and harassment of Corps members issue in some states. In the meeting, the DG assured MCAN of collectively creating a lasting solution to the issues we raised. On (Wednesday, 25 of November, 2015 which corresponds to the 13th of Safar, 1437AH) The DG discredited the misleading news of some media houses and bloggers such as Punch, Daily trust, and Linda Ikeji among others. He reaffirmed his willingness to work with MCAN executives to attain a better NYSC. The following text messages were exchanged between the DG and MCAN to reach a consensus on the issue, as we await an official document to this effect; MCAN“Good day sir, please can you kindly clarify the news on the Ban of hijab. Thank you ”25th of November, 2015 – 04: 59pm Director General of NYSC; “Nobody can ban the use of Hijab in NYSC. We are only pleading that due to the current security situation in the country, our corps members are requested to try and avoid use of Long Hijab. However, what’s your own view and advice on it? Thanks ”25th of November, 2015 – 05: 08pm MCAN“It is a great honour and privilege to be given the opportunity to advice. We advise a hijab to the knee and a three quarter trousers. We have also asked our members to cooperate with the security agencies to maintaining peace and order during checking and to report suspicious persons. It is a great opportunity having your personality as DG, We pray for your long life and health. Thanks ”25th of November, 2015 – 06 : 44pm Director General of NYSC; “This is fine, I will ensure that this is conveyed to all the states orientation camp to guide them. Thanks and God bless. ”25th of November, 2015 – 06 : 50pm Based on our discussion with the DG, all Muslim corps members are hereby informed that; White Hijabs which is up to the knee level and three quarter trousers are now accepted by NYSC pending the time the security challenges in the country will be totally eradicated, it’s very difficult to compromise our religious conventions to this extent by accepting to use Hijabs which are not up to the feet or ankle level however the DG pleaded we accept his offers in order to prevent any security threat. In addition , the DG also promised to send directives to all the NYSC staffs. Hence, Kindly report any military or NYSC personal to your MCAN state Amir if you are harassed or ordered to take off your hijab, provided it’s around the knee level. In Sha Allah, we shall communicate further information to you shortly. As we await an official communication to this effect. Thus, we enjoy you to stay calm. We advise all Corps Members to submit to security checks, be respectful, obedient, tolerant, prayerful and above all, report any provoking issue(s) to the rightful bodies in order to prevent any form of regrettable violence. Kindly disregard all the misleading and false information from media houses. Get a first-hand information from MCAN in regards to Muslim corps members’ affairs. Furthermore, we enjoy all media houses to deploy investigative journalism before passing out information, as passing of wrong information of this nature can turn the country into total mess. We also use this medium to call the attention of the Ministry of Information to control the flow of unprofessional and misleading News.
