Education › Leaked WASSCE Papers: Website Operator Reacts, Threatens Punchman by mrkunlex(op): 7:01am On Apr 26, 2018

“Hello dear,

You have done your part. Nice investigation. Now, its (sic) my turn to do my thing. Mind people you step into (sic)… you are in Nigeria, not USA. Expect us. Thank you.”

That was the message sent to our correspondent around 1pm on Wednesday after a report on exam malpractice being perpetrated in the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination was published

The sender’s identity number was encrypted as ‘CRACK MIND.’

PUNCH Metro had reported about how some pupils sitting the WASSCE being administered by the West African Examination Council cheated by subscribing to answer-peddling websites.

The websites, which boasted of getting questions prior to the time of the exams, advertised various rates for different subjects and urged pupils to subscribe in bulk to get discounts.

Testimonials of candidates who got excellent results after using the services of the operators were displayed on the sites.

Our correspondent had subscribed to five different websites for answers to the Commerce exam which was written on Tuesday.

The websites are examcrown.com, examsort.com, naijaclass.com, waecexpo.com and guruslodge.com

The operators of the sites demanded that MTN recharge cards be sent to their phone numbers, which are 09069072051, 07063609771, 08167593558, 07032581573 and 08154766482.

They demanded N400 for link to the answer websites and N800 for direct SMS of the answers to candidates’ phones

While examcrown and examsort later resorted to Internet bulk SMS, using their codenames, EXAMCROWN and EXAMSORT, to update our correspondent, others used telephone numbers, including 08101038699, 07068088239.

True to their words, the websites delivered answers to both the objective and theory questions through text messages and their portals.

Shortly after the findings of PUNCH Metro were published on Wednesday, one of the website operators threatened to deal with our correspondent for writing the report.

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, asked our correspondent to report the threat to the nearest police station.

He said although the sender’s contact was encrypted, the police could investigate and get all the suspects arrested.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, said the threat should not be taken lightly.

He said, “I have informed the state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, about your case and he has asked that you come to the command to report for investigation to begin into the matter. Upon their arrest, their activities will be revealed. That way, we will be able to annul their plans. Threats should not be taken lightly because a lot of journalists have been killed this way.”

Meanwhile, some readers of PUNCH Online have blamed WAEC for the leakage of exam questions, saying the body should check itself.

A poster, who identified herself only as Abigail, said WAEC officials sometime sent account numbers to school owners, demanding kickbacks.

She said, “Candidates are patronising the sites as a result of the high level of corruption among WAEC officials, supervisors and invigilators (teachers). What can one say about officials sending their account numbers to proprietors and principals of some private schools just for the purpose of aiding malpractice; supervisors also collecting bribes to aid malpractice; invigilators are not left out of the mess.

“If these people can perform their duties with the fear of God, the operators of those sites will have no choice but to close down and look for something else to do. In addition, I want to strongly suggest that emphasis should not be placed on O’ Level results for the purpose of admission into higher institutions pending the time we will get it right as a nation.”

A reader, Madukanaya, alleged that some WAEC workers leaked the answers to their children, friends and relatives, adding that examination malpractice was at the root of corruption in Nigeria.

A poster with the alias, Something there is, urged the exam body to grill its workers.

“The question is that how did the websites get hold of the exam questions before the exam day? Why not check WAEC board itself and you’ll be surprised about the mess going on there. The websites do not set the questions, then how do they get them if WAEC officials are not involved?” he queried.

One Jed said a recent remark by President Muhammadu Buhari that youths in the country were lazy might be true.

“The President may be right by saying some youths don’t like hard work but want everything free. Yes, they want free excellent results with nothing in their brains. Aren’t they truly lazy?

“This is appalling; appropriate authorities must rise and save our educational system from total collapse,” the writer said.

Another reader, Ahmad Kehinde, said examination malpractice had got to its peak.

“This is the level of decadence we have sunk into in this country. It’s both sad and appalling! The blame should rest squarely on WAEC Nigeria because the spokesperson admitted that they were aware of the various sites and have not been able to do anything about them! That is damning! Government should step in quickly to dislodge these evil-minded criminals. This new exam malpractice tendency is killing the scholarly values in our young ones, especially among the private school students,” another commentator, Adestar, said.

The spokesperson for WAEC, Demianus Ojijeogu, denied that officials of the organisation were involved in the malpractice.

He explained that the website operators had continued to multiply due to lack of deterrents.

He said, “The security agencies have been involved (in the fight against examination malpractice). The police paraded six suspects last year in Abuja. Those people keep multiplying and the ones that are arrested are granted bail and released after some people beg for them. And that will be the end of the case.

“It is not true that our officials are involved. We have done soul-searching. This thing did not start this year. I am involved in this whole process and can authoritatively say that our workers are not involved. If they were, they (the website operators) will be getting the papers a day or two to the exams.”

Politics › Nigerian Youths Have Proven They’re Lazy — Obaze by mrkunlex(op): 6:47am On Apr 26, 2018

AWKA—FORMER Secretary to the Anambra State Government, SSG, and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in last year’s governorship election in Anambra State, Mr. Oseloka Obaze has said that Nigerian youths had proved that they are lazy as credited to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking with reporters as part of preparations for the forthcoming presentation of his latest book titled‘Prime Witness: Change And Policy Challenges in Buhari’s Nigeria’, Obaze said if the nation’s youths were not indeed lazy, they would have proved the President wrong by protesting and telling the whole world how serious they have been working to make ends meet under harsh government economic and social policies.
He said: “I agree with President Buhari. If the youths did not agree with him, they would have shut down the country immediately the president’s statement was made public.”
He said the statement was enough to cause disquiet in many markets, offices, and other places where youths hustle everyday to be able to eat and make ends meet.
According to him, there exists an alarming weakness and gaping loopholes in the nation’s governance infrastructure as it pertains to public policy-making, implementation and policy validity, noting that Nigeria’s fifty-five year- old political landscape which Buhari inherited had some dubious characteristics.
He added: “As Nigeria’s nascent democracy evolves, it is evident that the nation has arrived at the critical juncture where identifiable governance pitfalls, challenges as institutional and infrastructural failings compel urgent directional change.
“Political promises and decisions tend to induce public trust. Yet, a promise undelivered is no promise at all, and good intentions espoused, but not concretized, remain a fluke with immense undermining capacity.
“As such, any unfocused leadership will falter, regardless of its abiding expression of good intentions.
When that faltering happens, vexation, agitation and ennui are natural responses, as is now the case in Nigeria.
He argued that President Buhari seemed fixated with retrospective politicking by making his predecessor’s failings and policies his governance plank, rather than governing, adding that it later became evident that the ‘change’ mantra was all about words and exhortation, but hardly about concrete mobilization.
“Beyond debate, Nigerians understood fully that only good leaders could resolve its seemingly endemic problems such as greed, corruption, nepotism, absence of patriotism; disequilibria, social injustice, indiscipline and the ascendancy of mediocrity over meritocracy.
‘The crux of the problem is that every ethnic jigsaw component of Nigeria feels sufficiently aggrieved marginalized and therefore, seeks equity via restructuring.
“Since the civil war, Nigeria has never been as polarized as it is now. Restructuring Nigeria is therefore, naturally compelling for reasons, which may include the desire to tweak management, ownership and operational or administrative modalities, with a view to achieving equity and efficiency.
“Nigeria in its present state is analogous to a dysfunctional computer. In both instances, there is evident systemic failure arising from non-responsive applications and institutions not operating as intended. Such instances require a reboot in order to overcome the redundancies.
“Nigeria is at risk unless it finds the courage to restructure. A nation in dire straits, Nigeria has a choice, to restructure by plan or by default. A default restructuring, will happen, certainly not by choice, but definitely like an uncontrolled experiment with attendant risks and indefinite outcome.
“Restructuring sometimes arises from crisis situations or the need to preempt political catastrophe. The latter is a core premise for Nigeria. Regardless of what opponents of restructuring think, Nigeria must restructure or risk self-destruction,” Obaze further said.

Politics › CAN Calls For Nationwide Protest Against Herdsmen Killings by mrkunlex(op): 1:35pm On Apr 25, 2018

Adelani Adepegba, Abuja

The Christian Association of Nigeria, has called for a nationwide protest against killings and bloodshed in the country.

The CAN President, Rev. Olasupo Ayokunle, in a statement on Wednesday urged Christians to hold peaceful protests within their church premises on Sunday April 29, 2018.

He made the call against the backdrop of the Tuesday killing of two priests and 17 worshippers at St. Ignatius Catholic Church, Mbalom, Gwer East Local Government Area of Benue State.

He said, “CAN urges Christians in Nigeria to hold peaceful protest on the set aside date, in the premises of their churches asking the Federal Government and the security agencies to stop the unending killings and bloodshed in the country.

“Christians are to carry placards with inscriptions meant to address issues about sustained killings, attacks and destruction of their property in Nigeria.
“The inscriptions on placards could read, ‘Enough of bloodshed in Nigeria,’ ‘Enough of unlawful killings in the country’, ‘FG, Release Leah Sharibu from the bondage,’ ‘FG, Stop Herdsmen Killings,’ CAN rejects FG’s poor handling of insecurity.’”

The cleric admonished the government to perform its constitutional responsibility of protecting the citizens, noting that no excuse is tenable for the bloodshed, stressing that the perpetrators must be brought to book.

“CAN seizes this medium to appeal to the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to mount different effective plans aimed towards disarming herdsmen across the northern states and in communities where they have been wreaking havoc across the country in national interest,” the statement added.

It attributed the continued killings to the failure of the government to mount an effective campaign against the attacks, killings by the herdsmen, noting that there was equally no visible plan to pacify the aggrieved.

“The Association also calls on the heads of the security agencies to wake up to their constitutional role of protecting lives and property across the federation while preventing Nigeria from descending into chaos and lawlessness, “ the CAN President said.

He reminded Christians to pray for bereaved families of those attacked by the Boko Haram terrorists, armed herdsmen, and other criminals in the past couple of months across the country.

“CAN reminds Christians across the federation the importance of the forthcoming general elections and the need for them to fully participate this time, by trooping to obtain their voter cards with which to play a role in the emergence of new set of political leaders who could guarantee their security and safety,” the group advised.

Health › Lassa Fever: Saudi Arabia Moves To Stop Nigerian Pilgrims To Hajj 2018 by mrkunlex(op): 11:34am On Apr 25, 2018

Saudi Arabian authorities are threatening to block Nigerian pilgrims from attending this year’s Hajj exercise.

Nigeria has one of the largest contingents in the annual religious exercise with about 95,000 pilgrims.
The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) on Monday said Saudi Arabia is taking the decision because of reports of Lassa fever outbreak in Nigeria.
Outbreak of Lassa fever has been reported in a number of states.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 1081 suspected cases and 90 deaths have been reported from 18 states (Anambra, Bauchi, Benue, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo, Ekite, Federal Capital Territory, Gombe, Imo, Kogi, Lagos, Nasarawa, Ondo, Osun, Plateau, Rivers, and Taraba) between January 1 through February 25 this year.

During the period, 317 cases have been classified as confirmed and eight as probable, including 72 deaths.
WHO however, said in a report Sunday that there is a steady decline in Lassa fever cases and deaths from 70 by February 18 to five by April 15.

The Guardian on Monday quoted WHO, as saying that
“…
From the beginning of the outbreak in January 1, 2018 to the week ending February 18, 2018, the number of weekly reported Lassa fever cases increased from 10 to 70.

“From late-February to early March, there has been a downward trend in the weekly reported number of Lassa fever cases with less than 20 cases reported each week in March and only five new cases reported in the week ending April 15, 2018.”

One of the spokespersons of NAHCON, Mousa Ubandawaki, who confirmed the moves by Saudi Arabia, informed PREMIUM TIMES that Nigerian authorities are not taking the threat lightly.

“There will be an expanded meeting of all officials from the 36 states, the Commission and officials of the Federal Government to discuss the matter tomorrow,” Mr Ubandawaki said.

The NAHCON official said the meeting will hold at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).

I have no pity for people of Benue. When I was working in Lagos, I had one Benue guy who was insulting Nnamdi Kanu just because he suggested that Benue could be part of Biafra... Tor Tiv and other inconsequential leaders of Tiv land insulted Kanu and the Igbos and threw their weight to the North. The same leaders have lost their voice on the killings of their own people by their Fulani friends... They should enjoy it... Afterall, it was what they wanted

Will you shove that bullshit up where the sun don't shine. Incase you were hiding under a rock for past several years, the participants of the coupaka one of the living solider already released the names of the participants of the coup.

Here they are
Maj. Kaduna Nzeogwu (Igbo)
Maj. Adewale Ademoyega (Yoruba)
Maj. Emmanuel Ifeajuna (Igbo)
Maj. Timothy Onwuatuegwu (Igbo)
Maj. Chris Anuforo (Igbo)
Maj. Humphrey Chukwuka (Igbo)
Maj. Don Okafor (Igbo)
Capt. Ogbo Oji (Igbo)
Capt. Emmanuel Nwobosi (Igbo)
Capt. G. Adeleke (Yoruba)
Lt. Fola Oyewole (Yoruba)
Lt. R. Egbiko (Esan)
Lt. PM Okocha (Igbo)
Lt. Tijani Katsina(Hausa/Fulani)
Lt. O. Olafemiyan (Yoruba)
Capt. Gibson Jalo (Bali)
Capt. Swanton (Middle Belt)
Lt. Dag Warribor (Ijaw)
2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo (Hausa)
2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Tiv)
Capt. Ben Gbulie (Igbo)
Lt. Dimka

The so called "igbo coup" had multiple none Igbos included in the midst. In addition, an igbo leader by the name of Arthur Unegbe was among the leaders killed during that coup. Ironically, he was killed by one of the igbo participant of the coup. Hilariously enough, his death immediately erased from history book so you niggas can justify your murderous desire.

Like we said you lots are reaping wtf you sowed. Your shithole is a shithole filled with daily killing for a reason.

do you know that Northern Nigerians were however also targeted in the Igbo dominated Eastern Nigeria. Thousands of Hausas, Tiv and other Northern Tribes were massacred by Igbo mobs, forcing a mass exodus of Northerners from the Eastern Region.

Quote From Wikipedia:
The immediate precursor to the massacres was the January 1966 Nigerian coup d'etat led mostly by young Igbo officers. Most of the politicians and senior army officers killed by them were northerners, including the Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello the Sardauna of Sokoto.

Some of us were against Buhari, because of his antecedent as a military head of state. But because of Nepotism and tribalism, the people of the middle belt, thinks BUHARI will favor them more.
And I am particularly happy that Gown and TY danjuma are alive to witness all these atrocities being committed by Buhari's people the Fulanis

The major reason the Igbos, were ready to fight in that war of 1967-1970, was that after the counter coup a deadly Pogrom (killing of people from the eastern region) followed suit. It was no longer the killings of the Igbos in the armed forces, but the killings of Igbos in general including pregnant women and their unborn babies.
I don't want to go into argument with you. But try and read up events before the secession proper. The funny thing was that the people of the middle belt participated fully in these killings.
Anybody who wants demonize the Igbos for their comments on what is happening now in Benue and the rest of the middle belt can go ahead. But it is Good Morning to them at the moment.

some of the people there now are not the one that carried out the barbaric act,let's have feeling for human

Politics › Insecurity: Nigeria Now Ripe For State Police – Zamfara Gov by mrkunlex(op): 8:22pm On Apr 24, 2018

By Emma Ujah Gusau
– Nigeria is now ripe for state police, the Governor of Zamfara State, Dr. Abdulaziz Abubakar, said Tuesday.
He spoke in his country home in Talata Mafara, Zamfara State, while addressing journalists on facility visit to the state.
According to him, the nation’s democracy has grown to a level to accommodate state police.
The governor explained that the continued killing of innocent Nigerians by various types of criminal elements made state police most imperative now.
His words, “Democracy is growing day- by -day and if you look at the situation of who controls the police and the problems today these are internal security problems which they should be able to handle.
“But that is not the case either because they are not well-trained, not enough or ill-equipped.
“State governors pay their allowances, provide logistics and equip them. It is only arms and ammunition that we don’t provide and yet they don’t take orders from the state chief executives.
“The other time we had intelligence that bandits were camped on a mountain, ready to attack a village.
“It was the state commissioner of police that brought it to me. We agreed to increase the Mobile police in the area.
After some time he came and said that he had orders to withdraw the police because they wanted them elsewhere and I said we should rather increase not withdraw.
I was preparing to travel to Turkey. The moment I travelled, the CP withdrew the police and in less than two days, the criminals attacked the village, killing more than 30 people.
If the police was under my control that CP would have ran away before I returned because I would not have only sacked him, he would have gone to prison
“But what did we see, a few months after, he was posted elsewhere and soon after promoted as Assistant Inspector General of Police”
The governor also gave an inşght into how he dedicates 70 per cent of his budget to capital.
According to him, upon assumption of office, he directed the civil service to prepare a 70/30 budget for capital and recurrent budget, respectively.
The governor said that their initial reaction was that it impossible but that heinsisted.
He said that 65 per cent capital /35 recurrent was brought and he rejected it until he has his way.
Gov. Abubakar advised that a drastic measure must be employed the change the federal government budget structure which is largely spent on recurrent, leaving only between 20- 25 per cent for capital projects.

You can easily call what is happening in Benue today as 'war' in the next 40 years.

i think the meaning of pogrom in my own view is a massacre/killing done to eliminate people bcuz of race/religion.cn you tell me why you termed it pogrom

I equally have not lost my humanity. But truth is like a pregnant lady, you cannot cover it with hands. The Igbos, you think that have lost their humanity are only being human.

The Pogrom
The senseless killings of people from the South East

The needless starvation of millions of Biafran children.
You can't wish that away.
NB
As for Benue state, they should man up and face their demons or watch helplessly as they are decimated.

Politics › The World Is Watching A Repeat Of Rwanda – Middle Belt Group by mrkunlex(op): 12:22pm On Apr 24, 2018

May head to ICC, ECOWAS Court

ABUJA—WORRIED by the high rate at which ethnic nationalities are being cleansed by suspected herdsmen in the Middle Belt region, a socio-economic group, the Middle Belt Forum, MDF, said it is considering the option of taking the pogrom to the International Court of Justice, ICC, The Hague, to avert a repeat of the Rwandan genocide in Nigeria.

The forum, which expressed grave concerns over the ongoing killings of natives by herdsmen in the region, especially in Adamawa, Taraba, Benue, Plateau and Kogi states, regretted that the world is watching while the situation is gradually snowballing into another Rwanda.

Speaking in Abuja, the President of Middle Belt forum, Dr. Bala Takaya, said the next line of action if the killings continue unabated might be to go to ICC, ECOWAS Court, or to other areas of redress.

According to him, “That is part of our dealings and I don’t think I have to go into detail as to what we are doing about that right now. But we are concerned that this thing is in public, worldwide, just like it happened in Rwanda, the world was watching and killings were going on until the whole thing came to a point where hundreds of thousands of lives were lost before the world woke up to realise that they could have done something to stop the killings in Rwanda. And similarly, this is happening in Nigeria.

“It started gradually in Rwanda. And it is starting gradually here in Nigeria. Probably, even at a higher speed in Nigeria. But the world is watching.

Newspapers are reporting, you have embassies in Nigeria, of the metropolitan countries, I believe they are filing reports to their principals in their countries and the world is doing nothing.

“Must we be wiped out like mosquitoes before they wake up and realise that our people have gone? That is the point that we are making. As to go to ICC, ECOWAS Court, or other areas of redress, leave that one for us; maybe it is next thing we will address.”

The Forum, however, blamed the ongoing pogrom and wanton destruction of lives and property of Middle Belt aborigines by Fulani herdsmen on lopsided appointments of security chiefs, and urged President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately restructure the security architecture to reflect the Federal character as stipulated in the Nigerian constitution.

Dr. Takaya said the killer Fulani herdsmen are now a law onto themselves, adding, “They kill, maim and rape at will. They even brag that in this (Middle Belt) region they (the killer Fulani) have immunity that is superior even to those of our governors and their deputies.”

He continued: “As such, in the Middle Belt region, lives of human beings are now cheaper than those of cows. Hundreds of lives are being lost in Adamawa, Taraba, Benue, Southern Kaduna, Plateau and recently, Kogi State. There is virtually no part of the Middle Belt of Nigeria that is peaceful, making even feeding a major problem. On another side, we do not consider it amusing that the killer Fulani militias demonstrate their power or influence over this government by always choosing to strike as soon as the President rounds off a tour of the despoiled states with even greater viciousness.

“President Buhari should proscribe and declare Fulani herdsmen militia a terrorist organisation immediately.
He should remember that even the Global Terrorist index Fulani herdsmen as the fourth most dangerous group in the world.’’

Foreign Affairs › Again, Loud Explosions Rock Northern Mali by mrkunlex(op): 11:08am On Apr 23, 2018

Several loud explosions rocked the northern Mali city of Timbuktu near military bases where one peacekeeper was killed and seven French troops were wounded on April 14 by Islamist militants, a UN source said.
The UN source said that the peacekeeping mission base in Timbuktu known as the “Super Camp” was once again targeted by mortar fire, although that information could not be immediately confirmed.
Also, Youba Cisse, a trader in Timbuktu, told Reuters he heard at least three loud detonations coming from the direction of the camp.
The April 14 car bomb and rocket attacks on the heavily fortified bases by militants disguised as UN peace keepers marked a particularly daring assault amid an upsurge in jihadist violence in Mali and neighbouring countries.
France’s defence ministry said at least 15 assailants were killed when it scrambled fighter jets and attack helicopters to respond.
A peacekeeper from Burkina Faso also died in the attack.
UN peacekeeping and French military forces in northern Mali have faced near-constant attack over the past year by determined and well-armed jihadist groups seen as the gravest threat to security across West Africa’s Sahel region.

Politics › ‘nigerian Youths Deserve Respect And Recognition’ by mrkunlex(op): 8:20am On Apr 20, 2018

Founder and convener of New Nigeria Movement and Vice President of Nigerian Young Professional Forum, Dr. Chima Anyaso has on behalf of Nigerian youths demanded an apology from President Muhammed Buhari coming on the heels of recent outburst of criticism by young Nigerians over comments alleged to have been made by the president at the commonwealth submit in London.
In a state statement issued in Lagos yesterday, Anyaso insisted that the president should retract the statement and apologies to young Nigerians who have labored without any support from government.
He said that what Nigerian youths deserve is respect and recognition for their efforts in making sure Nigeria gains global recognition through sports, music, movies, technology and innovations.
He noted that because of the ingenuity of Nigerian youths around the world and within Nigeria, the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg thought it right to visit Nigeria in his most recent tour of the world to encourage Nigerian youths in technology and ICT.
According to him, “that is one of the numerous testimonies to the fact that the Nigerian Youth has not failed”
The statement read “let us once again remind ourselves that the hope of a prosperous Nigeria rests on the shoulders of youths of this country. As someone who is committed to the course of youth empowerment and youths’ active involvement in politics, I am deeply pained by the comments credited to the President of the federal republic of Nigeria, President Mohammed Buhari, qualifying Nigerian Youths as lazy and illiterates. I doubt that this came from the president, but if the president did make this comment attributed to him, then it is indeed an unfortunate situation”.
He went further “as a youth leader and someone in contact with youths in Nigeria, I understand the pains, the hardship and challenges facing Nigerian youths. I therefore consider it unfair and indeed out rightly unfortunate that those whose responsibility it is to provide enabling environment for youths to thrive in business, those whose responsibility it is to build schools and implement policies that will ensure compulsory education for the citizenry have lost their sense of responsibility thereby shifting the blame to the very victims of mis governance. The vilification of the Nigerian Youth did not start today, but it has to stop”
The statement went further “I want to use this medium to remind Mr. president that his comment is a slap on the faces of young Nigerians who have against all odds distinguished themselves in their chosen fields, young Nigerians whose ingenuity is responsible for the explosive growth of small and medium scale enterprises providing millions of jobs to all Nigerians, the millions of Nigerians who have gone through untold hardships and struggles to see themselves through school because the government failed to provide free or affordable education for them.
However, I urge the youths not to be discouraged by these kinds of comments. Let us remain resilient, focused and committed to rebuilding our nation. A new Nigeria is possible”.
Chima Anyaso, alongside other Nigerian young leaders recently led a delegation of young people to visit former president Olusegun Obasanjo, retired General Ibrahim Babangida and Former President Goodluck Jonathan to enlist the support of these past leaders to encourage the involvement of youths in active politics under the platform of NN19.
