A clear case of he who laughs last laughs best. I don go buy my form oh....no time to waste time...

owji:
Nigeria peace corps ,please stop this charade. They keep referring USA having peace corps too but the peace
corps in USA is a voluntary program and not avenue to create employment for USA citizens. Will you have the fed govt to start creating phony ministries, parastatals, paramilitaries every now and then just to employ all youths? that is NOT possible. In my own opinion the govt should create an enabling environment (soft loans,infrastructure, power,laws etc) for youths to be self employed, govt cant possibly employ all youths.

I pity those gullible ppl like myself and other ppl that have already dolled out money to the Peace corps.
I think the peace corp should better continue as voluntary organization and keep collecting their 45k and above
for training etc.

You keep on selling recruitment forms and training ppl (in hundreds of thousands) and also promise them
employment,Now.it is the same commandant general of Nigeria Peace Corps that said that at the eventual assent
by PMB the ratio of commissioned officer to voluntary officer will be 20%-80% (20 for officers & 80 for
voluntary office). Just imagine!, and you have already promised employment to all ppl that have enrolled.
You keep hiding under the disguise of generating employment for the youth & you think PMB cant read between
the lines!, more so you keep selling recruitment form to older ppl (40yrs and above)...is a man of 40 years and
above still a youth??.

i will keep telling ppl that they should not pay any 5k for recruitment form or 45k for some phony training. when
the federal government takes over fully there wont be need to pay for training or to buy recruitment form. Note
that there are still other fees to be paid.

WHAT IS THE JOB OF PEACE CORP IN NIGERIA
1. to promote peace in Nigeria (like the other military/paramilitary outfits have been promoting war)
2. to engage 800,000 youths in meaningful employment (Nigeria army and navy combined don't have up to
600,000 officers) grin
3. to end insurgency (without arms. na juju dem wan use? ) grin
4. to curb cultism in secondary school and university. undecided
5. to curb exam malpractices. undecided
and most importantly for the officers to be getting paid by the fed govt. grin grin grin
see, the Peace corps don't have the interest of the country at heart, what they hungry for is SALARY!!! another
avenue to waste govt resources.

Nigeria peace corp should never be institutionalized just to MANAGE youth unemployment, It is wrong. Yes, it may reduce unemployment (as fringe benefit) of the youths for a while. That should not be the main reason for creating peace corp.

Were the NPF, Nigerian Army, Navy, FRSC etc created to tackle youth unemployment? your answer is as good as mine.
Npower, YOUWIN and the likes are already in place for unemployed youths.

Again, Nigeria peace corps should stop this charade.
A word is enough for the wise

dominique:


You mean this current cash-strapped government will recruit thousands of corps and start paying salary? And you believed them? Do you know how long it takes bills passed by the national assembly to get implemented? Yet these commandants will be collecting money from new recruits without any tangible plans for those on ground. I can never advise my enemy to register with those crooks called peace corps.

Stemkay:






So Civil defence started from the scrap when she was taken over?

Na wa for some pple's thinking o

checkoutdr:
Away from all these ANTI-NPC comments, Abeg, I obtained the form and submitted, but was about paying the 40k when the trouble started, so I had to hold on, as 40k pass chicken change for me..
But with these current news, is it safe to pay now?

*pls, meaningful comments only, if u have nothing good to say, just scroll down"

Thanks

Nten:
I am flabbergasted by some comments here. the government says they would create jobs because of the high rate of unemployment now the National assembly in its wisdom approved a bill for the establishment of an organization. instead of praising the government for towing a good direction some of you are castigating and talking balderdash. tomorrow these groups of disgruntled elements will be the once to start protesting,rallying because of unemployment. "they say government can't pay" then I ask are you the federal government didn't the senators, house of representatives members not know that the government don't have money before they approved it meanwhile some of the people antagonizing the move don't have jobs, then those that have are happy to see the unemployed roaming around engaging in criminal activities bah. if I hear Pim again ehn.... make saraki bang gavel for somebody head!!!

charlesluthor:
The Senate therefore, expunged the National Unity and Peace Corps from the newly harmonised version of the Bill. Also in the harmonised version of the bill, the head of the Peace Corps shall be referred to as the National Commandant, with 6 Deputy National Commandants representing the 6 geopolitical zones of the country.. Whats the meaning of this statement?

Tolulope007:
If dis bill is pass .. Is just a waste of budget to me.. Cos how many paramilitary we going to av in dis country.. Wats is dere function DAT oda paramilitary cant do.. Just to swallow anoda monetary fund in d organisation by d ogas at d top

comshots:
Another wasteful budget for a wasteful organization that will not be effective to the people.Just watch how they will be imposing their cronies in the agency like the recruitment process in army,airforce,customs,cbn,immigration amongst others.

Abadsheddy:

owji:
will you stop spilling trash! voolish voooool

omokab:
It is a pity that most of our leaders don't have brain at all. If you enforce the pcn to exist because Mr president refuse to sign the bill, who will be paying their salary. Are you the one that will be equipping the? What about financing

Reference:
We don't need another paramilitary organisation. President Buhari should put the proposal on a compost heap. Rubbish. What the hell is Peace Corps. We better free ourselves from the trauma of colonial rule. Must everything in Nigeria be by force. If we cannot organise ourselves to live peacefully together then we rather need more education and enlightenment. Establish a body to go through the nooks and crevices of Nigeria raising the standard of literacy and social enlightenement. Peace will naturally fall in line. No. They rather want more gun totting extortionists making our lives more unbearable. Truly Nigerians deserve the suffering they encounter.

owji:
No one will fall for the peace scam again

the peace corp has 1.4 billion naira in UBA bank, the money that has been pretentiously collected from gullible youths and employment seekers in Nigeria. In exchange, peace corps promise all of them employment (after yeye training), even when the peace corp don't have the power to do so. undecided

eventually IF (which i doubt very much) the FG assented to the yeye bill, will all those gullible ppl that have paid be employed by FG? Answer is NO!!

PPl (in hundreds of thousand) keep bringing in money to peace corp in exchange for gainful employment while Dickson Akoh and other trustees that registered peace corp at CAC as NGO keeps smiling to the bank ..

So, this is a form of 419, obtaining under false pretense, just like they did years back in federal task force.

avicky:

Do you have access to the list. Can you help one check before it's published?

owji:
Akoh has brainwashed all of una finish.
For now forget abt peace corp of corruption

377:


PLS PEACE CORP BILL IS NOT YET WITH THE PRESIDENCY. IT WILL BE CONSIDERED FINALLY BY TOMORROW BY THE SENATE. AFTER THAT THEN IT WILL BE SENT TO THE LEGAL DÉPARTEMENT BEFORE IT WILL GET TO THE PRESIDENT. SO DONT PANIC. BUT LETS HOPE HE WOUNT RETURN THE BILL BACK COS U NO IS A LEARNED PERSON.AD SOON AS IT GETS TO OSIBANJO IF IT IS OK BY HIM HE WILL SUGN IMMEDIATELY.

topsam1:


I guess you don't know anything about government, the arms of government are independent, the national assemblies have done their job through lobby, but for the president to assent to it, he's gonna consider so many things. Considering the fact the FG already has her own programme for creating job for unemployed youths gulping billions of naira, I.e Npower and the rest, I don't think the president will want to add another burden on his head...its the plain truth. Just last year NPF was told to recruit just 10,000 personnel even up till this moment, the exercise is yet to be complete and now we talk of peace corps who had trained up to 200,000 because the training actually started many year ago....where dem wan recruit them??

topsam1:


No need to argue much, no sane president will sign it into law in this recession..NA passed the bill cos they were lobbied and bribed.
