The latest news in town now is president buhari denying his assent to the Peace Corps bill, it was greeted with mixed reaction from the general public.



but One thing I have noticed is that those who accepted that i was in the best interest of the country are more than the opposing side...

Let me sight this few reasons why they aren't in our interest..


1) Nigeria spend over 70% of its budget on recurrent [/b]expenditure leaving less than 30% for capital project, if we continue like this do you think if we continue like this we will have the Nigeria of our dreams?? Payment of salaries have always been a burden to the Fg adding another burden to it under the guise of employment is not right it will only be a bulwark to Nigeria's development. Why can't we utilize our meager resources to better things instead of creating another agency with no specific work.

[b]2) Too many para military
Nigeria has more than 3 para military already all bearing arms, and doing there jobs effectively coupled with there problems. Approving the Peace Corps will just be another way for the corrupt Oga's at the top of siphoning our money.

3) overzealous and corruption we all know how our police, Army and other Armed Forces misuse power in the past and even presently, an NGO who is just starting it course is already hood winking gullible Nigerians,collecting money from volunteers.
What will be our faith. In the street you will see a Peace Corps volunteer asking you do you know me?? All those doesn't make sense.. instead of another para-millitary why can't we channel the resources to our police who is over stressed and better equip them with modern wares..

I support you 100 percent..

Op, when Buhari, during his campaign, promised to create millions of jobs for the unemployed youths, where ware you & him expecting their salaries to come from.

Olusegunjaye:

You people should look at it from another angle, cut down the senators budget and implement this program. People don't have jobs really. I feel for them. if you want peace, be prepared for war.

You fulani slaves better stop talking from both sides of your mouth.

kyn1:
Those reasons are not substantial bro, have you ever thought about the level of unemployment in this country??, i bet you don't have a month to feed, when you do, you will know what mess this is.!!!

salvation101:
Does his not assenting to it mean the other existing ones will be strengthened? Our security is nothing to write home about. The other time Nigerians demanded police reform, wht has been the result of that? The police is so unreliable and i think the civil defense are doing a better job than them. We need more security outfits since the police is beyond redemption

BetaThings:


In the private or public sector
GSM brought more jobs without more burden to national budget

BetaThings:


In Nigeria?
What is our national budget?
What is our GDP?
We cannot afford it!
People want uniform to extort money; they don't care about salary. The bribe (that will come from you and I) is what they are after

Refusing to assent to it was the best decision ever. Sometimes I wonder how some of our leaders think. Why did the National Assembly approve of it in the first place?

Instead strengthen the already existing ones while adding more officers to the ones we already have.
