Am sure the agency should advocate gradual phase out while alternative means of transport should be introduced. But this is only feasible if our roads and streets are in order or else they should forget the proposal.

I see more than three countries in Nigeria. But Junaid should try to allow this forced marriage to remain.

He should be ashamed that an Igbo man will instigate a Hausa/ Fulani/ Muslim to bomb, kill and maim his fellow.

This must be the Northern definition of civilization or what do you call it?

Then all should live for ever.

Till we know your mission there, then . . .

ABUJA-THE House of Representatives Committee
on Youth Development has endorsed the N4,000
for the online registration of members of the
National Youth Service Corps ,NYSC.
Chairman of the committee, Rep Kamil Akinlabi
revealed this while giving update on the
investigation into the new policy, during a media
chat with House of Representatives Press Corps.
Akinlabi said that the fund would be used for
installation of equipment at the NYSC offices
nationwide adding that the fund would enable the
contractor handling the project to recoup
investment within five years.
The House after the adoption of a motion
sponsored by Hassan Saleh, directed NYSC
management to suspend forthwith the policy
requiring prospective Corp members to pay the
sum of N4,000 with effect from 2015 to access
their call up letters.
Akinlabi said: “from the onset, when the matter
was brought to our attention, the first thing we
felt was the way you are feeling but after
constructive engagement, we discovered that it
was an innovation that we can’t run from.
“First, it was not the responsibility of the NYSC to
mobilize respective Corp member to get their call-
up letter, it is the responsibility of the parent. If
somebody schooled in Lagos but lives in Kano
and to get his call-up letter he has to travel to
school.
He explained further that “so you will discover
that it’s time consuming, risky and very
expensive. So what the NYSC has done is to
partner with a consultant that is already handling
similar project for JAMB and WAEC that has
eliminated similar risk to partner with them
through PPP arrangement.
“And that PPP arrangement will be on Built
Operate and Transfer. What are the terms of
agreement? The contractor would be responsible
100 percent for the purchase and installation of
every gadget that will be necessary to achieve
that in all the 36 headquarters including FCT and
in all local government headquarters as well as
all orientation camps across the country.
“So, when we look at the cost of getting the
equipment purchased and installing in all those
strategic points, how will they recoup their
investment since government is not injecting a
penny?
They proposed N6,000 so we interacted with
them that there is no way this should be on a
very high side.
“But when they came up with the debt payback
system they agreed with the bank. The amount
and the interest they agreed, we discovered that if
they couldn’t get their money within 5 years, it
will not be a good business for them, so what is
the minimum or maximum we can agree to make
them recoup their money on time?
“So in order to ask them to go through the
normal process and see if the federal government
will be able to adapt the process and finance it.
But in the process, the Public Procurement was
contacted and they had a certificate of No
Objection. And we discovered that Concessionaire
Commission was not carried along whether there
will be a better way of handling this type of issue.
” But we discovered that the only thing we could
do is to get the cost of N6,000 reduced. So when
we got that approved we summoned the NYSC
DG and his team, they came.
“To say Nigerians should pay more than N6,000
is not possible, so they came with N4,500 and
later they agreed for N4,000. So they will now be
operating after installing the equipment for five
years and later transfer the equipment because it
is Build Operate and Transfer.”
In his lead debate, Saleh frowned at the
imposition of N4,000 on thousands of fresh
graduates across the country, called for the
intervention of the House to stop the extortion.
He maintained that “as laudable as the idea of
sending call up letters through the internet may
be, the decision requiring fresh graduates to
cough out N4,000 to access the letters appears
insensitive and exploitative.”

And of course if you are dating her with the intent of marrying her, you can make her become whatever you wish in life. After all homes built together lasts longer than ready- made.

OP I give it to him for achieving these feat.
The truth remains Buhari is no longer going to rule over us. We don't need to keep recycling leaders. We should try another hand, who knows if we would one day stumble on a man more re dogged than Buhari.

Prophets?
Anyway its now old fashion to address people as herbalist or witchdoctors. The new nomenclature is 'prophet'.

But God knows they that are His.

^^^^ Middle class keep for rented one room selfcon? NO WAY.

How long did it take you to save in order to buy the laptop and the low end android.

Besides, was the proportion of the cost of the laptop to your earnings.

Middle class citizens are those who can provide their immediate needs(and sometimes wants) with a wink.

Life is simply a journey from the womb to the tomb. Some completes the distance in an hour, day(s), months, etc. while it takes others several years to complete same distance.

This, also is a mystery

Half bread is better than kudi kudi.

But political jobs has serious moral implications. Never with clean hands, I swear.

Though it is symbolic. Primarily because of its opaque nature.
2. Its activities are carried out in the cover of darkness.

Well there is NO straight cut answer to this post. Rather it is a function of other other variables such as:
1. Is the old woman a widow?
2. Is she lonely?
3. Can she take care of herself in terms of cooking and laundering?
3. Naturally is she endeared to that particular son?
4. Can she provide for herself? and many others.

If answers to the above are in the affirmative, I beseech such daughter in law to bear her troubles and take her in. Who knows if that can help her live a little longer?

buaaaaaahahhahhhhahhhhhaaaaasssssjhhhhhaaaa!

So this DSS wants to remain relevant? I fear. Guys only show you to old and nonfunctional guns just to make room for more sophisticated ones.

Da ebo ifiok.

It is our staunch belief in the Africa that drives us. We will break more fallow grounds with God on our side. Just give us time.

Just miss your flight(if at all there is any) after all you promised her love so he man enough to live your words.
