Just a passing thought out of my @$$, please pardon the smell.....but I wan ask sef, why are we so obsessed with uniforms and ranks? Im sure this yeye Peace Corps go get Generals and Marshalls and Captains. Small time we go see peace corp fighting danfo driver and conductor cause he no give drop. Thank God sha, after conductor don tear and shred the uniform na to send message go Calabar for replacement.

Nigeria peace corps ,please stop this charade. Nigeria Peace corps 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 grin
5. to curb exam malpractices. undecided undecided
and most importantly for the officers to be getting paid by the fed govt 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

PEACE CORPS ENGAGES CALABAR GARMENT FACTORY TO PRODUCE 100,000 UNIFORMS

The massive investment made by the Cross River State government with the establishment of the Calabar Garment Factory has started yielding fruits as the Peace Corps of Nigeria, weekend, engaged the garment outfit to produce one hundred thousand pieces of uniforms for its officers and men.
Under the terms of the contract, the Calabar Garment Factory is to produce 40,000 pieces as the first consignment, with an additional 60,000 thousand to be produced later.
The Peace Corps of Nigeria is currently being legislated into law by the National Assembly.

Speaking while on a facility tour of the factory and delivery of materials by the corps for the production of the uniforms, the deputy national Commandant in charge of Administration, Mr. Edet Ekpenyong, expressed satisfaction with the fully automated factory and assured of the corps' readiness to synergise with the state government to ensure that the factory performs within its install capacity.
Ekpeyong particularly commended Governor Ben Ayade for his industrialisation drive as well other transformation initiatives currently going on in the state.
His word: "We are here to deliver our materials to the Calabar Garment Factory to commence production of one hundred thousand uniforms for us, but starting with forty thousand units. I am very excited and proud with what I have seen here at the factory. It is very clear that Governor Ayade is doing everything to move the state from a civil service state to an industrial hub. We have been monitoring the activities of Cross River and it has been a beehive of  industrialisation activities since Ayade came to power. The state has never been in the media the way it has been since the coming of the present government. Honestly, l am overwhelmed and we are very proud we would be working with the state."
In his response, Governor Ayade said the state government will do everything to help the corps succeed.

I still haven't paid the 40k for camping after they shortlisted my name. Just waiting for Buhari to sign the bill

Why are you supposed to pay 40k before you get a job?

VajanahDischaj:
very soon they will also write ti carry gun because they will want to enforce peace by force hahahaha! just like the mumu civil defence wey don dey mumu pass police. I stand with VIÔ

lol. fact

webincomeplus:

Sorry, I guess you've applied for the scheme already. You'd better find alternatives in case Buhari refuses to append the final signature.

And if i didn't apply... Will u take ur advice to the dogs

The difference is those that will be employed will say they have a job and pple like u will continue to come on nairaland to stupidly criticise everything. hope ve helped.

Rubbish

mikkypel:



If one of your family member is gainfully employed with this scheme... You won't be saying all these beautiful nonsense

Thanks for this comment. If he doesn't see the usefulness others do! Na only to come nairaland come talk shit na him some nigerians sabi.

peace corp is a dream come true. I beg make dem do quick make we wear our karki go camp soon

webincomeplus:
I personally don't see any need for the creation of this Peace Corps thing. I read through the creation bill, and the whole scheme has nothing to offer but additional burden on the government.

I understand that the government needs to create more jobs, but it's not by creating useless agencies that promise to handle tasks that some other agencies are already in charge of. Instead, the government should channel the energies of job-searching youths into productive ventures that will fetch huge returns for the country at large.

I'm yet to see the usefulness of the NSCDC, and now the government wants to create another nonsense. The same government that is presently struggling to pay salaries.

My broda d thing tire me. If u go to any of d offices of the civil defence around u'll jus laugh. Why not expand the scope of d civil defence and give dem more functions dat way dey'll employ more. It's clear d Peace corps thing is d brain child of some ppl somewhere as a form of compensation because it is yet to b justified in anyway.

gameboyo:


The most useless uniform agency created has bin civil defense, no clear cut agenda, yet our money goes into it daily, same with frsc, just duplication of functions the police should be able to carry out. Why not equip the existing ones and fund it properly. This country don tire me sef. It's annoying

Na your money dem dey use pay dem? Jobless, ponzi scheme surfing youth! Remain bitter! Nonsense!

mikkypel:



If one of your family member is gainfully employed with this scheme... You won't be saying all these beautiful nonsense

Someone was objective enough in his assertion and all you could bring to the table as a rejoinder were words filled with sentiments??.........Goshhh, finally it's over.

buchai:
they should pay them after production not to do say na the same government them they serve.

It is their own business and if they donot get paid it serves them right. Just like Innoson, if your primary focus is government because you want to avoid the tough challenges of free market competition then you have no future. I hope this will be the first and last 'government job' they do. They should go the 'Dangote' way and build business by public patronage thus ensuring long term stability and profitability. Governments come and go, the people remain the same. It is them industry should serve. My government portfolio is virtually empty. I donot consider their patronage important at the least so I have no lean days and lick nobody's arse. Ayade has two years left to found that factory/business and he better leverage his position to get its products into the mass market not government stores alone if not it will certainly become yet another white elephant that his successor may not want to ride perhaps preferring black horses instead.

And as soon as they begin to make money diverse ownership away from government. Sell shares, recoup investment and move to the next project. If they attempt to hang onto ownership in any way, shape or form, it will shortly become a government parastastal and certainly a long term drain on government resources. Government has no business in business.

Someone is raised an army, calling it peace Corp. Only the military can have peace Corp. Not private people ..


If the military takes over the program. It is illegal to have a peace Corp which is not run by the military

bitcoininvesto:

We should be smart enough pls...

Well, to avoid derailing from the main point of discussion, my stand is that if the government wants to create jobs, it should focus on areas where the country at large can get huge returns. Period!

Gwan2:

Someone was objective enough in his assertion and all you could bring to the table as a rejoinder were words filled with sentiments??.........Goshhh, finally it's over.

My brother, I tire o. How many Nigerians look at things at surface level always beats my imagination.

Gwan2:

The objective is wrong bro.. .Forget about their usefulness... Whether it is useful or not, if it can better the lives of some Nigerians.. Then let it stand.. Do you know how many families the scheme will help.. .Do you know how many food it will put on some persons table.. Some men can't perform fatherly duties but with this they are sure of a better life... Tell the politicians to stop looting because to me that is what we need to erase.... I never applied for the peace corps, so your statement saying my comment is laced with sentiments is baseless.. ..I just gave my own broad point of view

math2001:

u have said it all man.

The founder is not Nigerian .. he is either from Ghana or cameroon
And display Ghana or cameroon flag as it's logo

Akoh is a Ghanaian or cameroon name.

Such body can only be organized by the military. Not private person.

Where is he getting money to buy 100000 uniform.

They are wearing navy and army uniform. Which is illegal. Those behind it want to form an army


Nigeria law is against sharing same color of uniform with the military

He made a lot of sense. Read the end of the second paragraph again.
"Instead, the government should channel the energies of job-searching youths into productive ventures that will fetch huge returns for the country at large."

math2001:
Why would be peace Corp have uniform. Somebody is raised an army to fight war.

I don't support the peace Corp, there are many bodies out there like this. Why will anyone want them to be an arm of government.

It an not be an arm of government, if they have wearing uniform.

This looks like they are reason an army to fight.




The Nigeria army has youth program, so does the police. That is what government should fund. Not the peace Corp.

Peace Corp is illegal army

Go cry to momma will you?

bitcoininvesto:

Do you know how many jobs this will create?

Who told u govt is struggling to pay salary?

What happens to all the money made by govt everyday?

Its not a productive scheme, what will be there contribution to the economy? The scheme is the handiwork of Saraki and Dogara. Imagine they've not sign the bill we already have two factions fighting for leadership.

They are recruiting without limit and expect govt to bore all the cost after signing the bill. They ripping off youth of N40,000 claiming for camping and offsetting current members bill.
