Why is this Man so Desperate?

A visit to Abia, Aba in particular will convince you.
Abians as a whole are desperate to kick out anything that has to do with T A Orji. No indigene of Abia who has the interest of the state at heart will not be desperate.

MalcoImX:
True. A friend who did NYSC in the East way back told me exam halls were like market places there. Invigilators were said to be there not to invigilate but to help. It is my prayer that the next government introduce stringent measures to jail these fraudulent acts.

You guys are always talking about what ''a friend'' told you and not what you saw yourself. I served in the north and the standard of education there is the lowest of the low. Even after forcing you as a corper to set exam questions that are way below standard just to ensure that the students pass, they still come back to beg you to pass all of them during marking. There is nothing like repetition of classes in the north, everyone is promoted to the next level irrespective of performance. Which students make up the northern universities? Are they not the same students that could barely read and understand their questions let alone understand it in secondary school? Youth corpers are made to solve WAEC questions for them on the board and anyone who dares to report is threatened with death. I remember the case of one Youth corper that alost got all his colleagues in one northern village killed because he exposed the WAEC malpractise going on in that village online.
The north is far far behind in education.

After all the noise?

The Osun State Government is considering a review of its policy of free feeding of primary school pupils in the state. Investigation by our correspondent revealed on Thursday that Governor Rauf Aregbesola had set up a committee to work out how to implement the review of this policy. The nine-member committee, which is also working
on the review of the state’s free health programme for children and the elderly, may recommend that parents be made to pay a little levy for each child in school. The committee comprises permanent secretaries in the state and a level 17 officer, who is a director. A source in the government circles told our correspondent that labour leaders in the state recommended the review of the free feeding policy alongside others to save money for payment of salaries of civil servants and to carry out developmental projects. The Aregbesola government has for almost six months been unable to pay workers salaries, a development it blames on dwindling allocation from the Federal Government. Deputy Governor Titi Laoye-Tomori had said last year that the “ school feeding meals cost government of the State of Osun N3.6bn annually.” In December 2014, the All Progressives Congress in the state said the allocation accruing to the state had fallen from N3.8bn per month to N1.3bn. Following agitations by civil servants over the non- payment of their salaries, Aregbesola challenged labour leaders in the state to suggest how his administration could generate more funds to meet its obligations. The labour leaders consequently came up with a report containing recommendations for the review of the policies. The report dated December 15 ,2014 and cited by The PUNCH was signed by the the Chairman of the Joint Public Service Negotiating Councils, Bayo Adejumo; the Chairman of Trade Union Congress in the state, Francis Adetunji; and the Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress in the state, Saka Adesiyan. The secretary of the JNC, R. A . Adeyemi; TUC Secretary, Kayode Adepoju and the secretary of the NLC, G. A. Bolarinwa, also signed the report. It was learnt that the labour leaders came up with the recommendations after interactive sessions with workers. In the report, they recommended the introduction of Parent/Teacher Association levy to be paid by every primary and secondary school pupil. The report read in part, “We have to appreciate the government for its programmes on free health, education and free meal, etc while the economy was buoyant to some extent. “Now that the situation has reached unmanageable equilibrium, we wish to advise that the policy of government on free programmes be reviewed to increase the IGR(Internally Generated Revenue) of the state. “There should be introduction of token amount to be paid by each pupil/ student to assist the government since the government had hitherto provided everything on education free of charge when the economy was stable. “The PTA should be re-introduced to contribute token amount to schools. It was revealed that at the Federal Government College, Ipetu, parents do pay a sum of N5,000 per student to assist the school.” The labour leaders also recommended that the governor should prioritise capital projects and complete them in phases. They also recommended the review of some laws which stipulate fines of as low as N20 or N50 as punishment for non-payment of some taxes. The union leaders advised the government to stop illegal mining of solid mineral resources such as gold and tantalite in the state. They also want the government to begin the collection of revenue from contractors and others digging gravel, sand and granite from burrow pits. They were equally not silent on the need for the government to take a second look at the number of
political appointees and their remunerations with a view to minimising the cost of governance. The report added, “We know for sure that the area of political appointment is Mr. governor’s constituency. But because of the economic situation
we find ourselves now, the truth must be told. The appointment of chains of political appointees, e.g, special advisers, senior special assistants, personal assistants and all other political appointments should be suspended for now. “More importantly, since the governor had dissolved his cabinet on the last day of his first term,
we advise that he should tarry a bit before he appoints his political aides except those that are compulsory for him to have. “The remuneration of political office holders is considered to be on the high side, especially the ones that were not known within the purview of the Salaries and Wages Commission which the state House of Assembly legislated upon. “Also, the remuneration of political office holders should be reviewed downward. When Mr. governor wants to appoint his political functionaries later, it should be manageable.” The labour leaders recommended that the governor should stop the use of consultants for IGR collection. They believe that the use of consultants amounts to waste of resources. They therefore advised that civil servants should be used to execute such tasks. The unionists added, “ If there is a dire need at all for the use of consultants for specific purposes, the revenue that would be accruable to the state should be fixed and percentages should not be given as it is the case now where 40 per cent goes to the government and 60 per cent to the consultants.” Noting that the government was not doing enough to stop illegal felling of trees in the state, they suggested that foresters should be adequately equipped to fight criminal cutting of trees . Another aspect of their recommendations is revenue generation from tertiary institutions. While they agreed that state owned tertiary institutions should be made self-sustaining, they said that tuition should not be hiked. They said that the institutions should be made to generate enough fund to take care of their basic needs in order to free the subventions given to them by the government. The union leaders advised also that the government should regulate the part-time and pre- degree programmes of the institutions to prevent managements from abusing them. When contacted, the Director, Bureau of Communication and Strategy in the governor’s office, Semiu Okanlawon, said that he had not seen the report. He however confirmed that the state government asked labour to advise it on how to generate income from other sources apart from federal allocation.

I thought they said subsidy is a scam?
Why do the want to benefit from the scam?
I though they said there was no need for subsidy since crude oil prices have fallen, why are they asking for it now?
What were the attacks on Madueke all about?
Can Nigerians now see through the lies APC used to get power.
I feel like crying!!

josephlegm:
God help me o...Still having issues with how to get the Driver's License & my test is 2nd May

You still have time to get it, but if you can't, go with any document to show that the license is being processed.

laboguashi:
Congrats. What comes after the driving test?

Interview
Rotiix please where you called today by anybody from NB? My phone was switched off for most of the day.
Cc inception101

kunmibadmus:
Congrats @ scun,rotlix and co. Wish u guys d very best. And pls don't forget to keep praying for those of us still trusting God for a job/better job.

Thanks.
Will do that.
Just stay positive.

Rotiix:
No boss, will be going very early tomorrow morning.

Did they call you this evening? What did they say?

Rotiix:
#Godwin

Are you going to collect your offer letter today?

I just received a text to come and pick up my offer letter today in Lagos 11 AM.
I don't live anywhere near Lagos, even getting a flight now that will arrive before the stipulated time is impossible.

If the election is held again, APC won't get up to 10 000 votes.

QuotaSystem:
Jega is smart enough to know that acknowledging malpractices will call for cancellation of Rivers results, which will also trigger protests of votes from Kano (which can NEVER be tampered with in the interest of peace) which guaranteed APC's victory - in light of the documented cases of underage voting.

We all know the trick is to feign ignorance at first, then wait for GMB to probe the electoral malpractices as he promised, with the full backing of a re-invigorated armed forces who will maintain order no matter what in Rivers, in accordance with the General's orders.

Bottom line: Wike must go.

You are dreaming.
Your weak military cannot overturn the will of over 1 million people.
Buhari or no Buhari

FreeGlobe:
I have been following up the Facebook media war between Obiano camp and Peter obi camp. While Obi's media boy Valentine obienyem (same name on Facebook) is saying his master left 75b, Obiano's aide is strongly refuting it. lol. It seems I'm now the one having the last laugh here. lol

You are a very sad and miserable being.
I feel for you

SLIDEwaxie:
this is English language:

The suitbwas to disqualify him to run, but he has ran and won, the suit against him is baseless and useless.

Besides, the law didn't say a runner must have ssce, it sply said ssce is the minimum requirement. What if he had a maximum one?

My friend shut up! If it was as easy as you put it, I wonder why the case hasn't been quashed long ago by Buhari's legal team, instead they keep shifting the goal post.
They have 2 sets of qualified legal practitioners defending Buhari and APC respectively, yet they haven't come up with anything to get the case dismissed.
You sit somewhere in rusty Abeokuta and tell us the case is baseless.

Buhari will build a seaport in Borno.

raumdeuter:
I thought some people said bombing has stopped since APC won elections

and you guys had to release another one to prove a point?
Na wa o

killm:
I just joined today, and saw the post, I didn't go through the previous pages. Just giving my advice.

Ok, but it was wrongly placed.
There was an online test followed by a CBT test written by thousands of people, then a few made it to the driving test, interview then medicals. Out of those who have done their medicals, about 50 are currently undergoing induction, with 2 more batches to follow.
Some of the guys who didn't make it to the CBT stage the first time and were sent regret mails were suprisingly invited for a CBT test last Saturday, probably to select candidates to make up the third batch of inductees. Like some guys said above, there were about 200 of them in attendance.

killm:
I thought the test was done online. How then did you know 250 persons wrote the tests?

Just go 2 or 3 pages back and get all the details you need.

killm:
Wow, 250 is a lot. I am not sure, but I think what happened at IFC last year may happen at NB. What happened was during the tests, and interview stages, everything went well, a number of persons passed the stages, it was an easy process for them. During the training, a number of us believed we had the job, we weren't concentrating, we were focused on just when to start. Extra tests were carried out after the training, and despite the fact that a number of persons still passed, a camera was fixed in the different classrooms, to find out those who asked questions regularly, those who were able to relate real life situations in the training class. It was a crazy routine, but they got who they needed. I was later informed that the three persons taken for the job were sent to Switzerland for training. They needed 10 persons, but 3 were taken. My advice to you all 250 persons, listen well, NB is a large organisation, and if you all will listen and do pretty well, you all can be given the job and at different locations I suppose.

Understand ish before posting.
The 250 were people who wrote their test on Saturday.

Buskolo:
About 200 though the total invited were 250, not everyone showed up!!

I want to believe the will take like 50 of you guys.
That is good.

Jonathan will be the most foolish man on earth if he rescues those girls now.

tbaba1234:
GEJ messed up BIG TIME when it comes to the chibok girls. BIG TIME!!! The location of the girls was known for 11 days and oga president was in denial for 3 weeks. If not for small malala, Mr president would never have met the parents.

There have been thousands of girls kidnapped, the only thing was that the chibok girls got media attention. The failure of security which lies squarely on the head of Mr. president left many villages vulnerable to random attacks. It was only 6 weeks to elections that he woke up to his duties.

You are either misinformed or lying, Boko Haram nominated Buhari to negotiate in 2012, the chibok girls were captured in 2014. Even without doing anything, you accuse Buhari. Thank God, he rejected that role.

Buhari destroyed the maitatsine sect as head of state.

He has been voted out na, why the lamentations?
Let Buhari come and rescue them.

What will APC say about this?

OlowoB:
You have been on this Great forum since 2013 and you still lack sense, when will you grow up?

When Yolubas stop kidnapping babies.

Probably kidnapped by another Yoruba kidnapping syndicate family.

frank442:
See her froggy eyes like aliu babagida eyes
Brainles beauty

History will not forget the fools in gej cabinet

Brainless yet she got herself all the way to the top in Shell before becoming minister.
Who are you?

imbless:
This man will be one of the best president ever in nigeria,
You know that people value what they suffered to get , that's GMB for u , unlike oga jona who didn't utilized the opportunity he had very well, because he didn't suffered much to get there, he was just lucky.

Illiterate.

The Chief Priest's version sounds more sensible than the rubbish from WHO.
