This is the most ridiculous post I've ever read.
Iono what to say to the op

Na so

It is even written in the holy books that its not good to fail on promises. Buhari led APC govt has failed on many promises.

I want to relate my experience about Nigerian peace corps with you people.

I heard about Nigeria peace corps recruitment. I took the form for the Nigerian peace corp recruitment for N1,500. They told us the federal government would approve them soon and they would be a body under the federal government, right now they are still NGO. I also learnt about one bill which has passed the second reading at the senate.

Later on, they told us to pay N45,000 for training (the said amount does not cover feeding and maintenance expenses at the camp). They told us we can pay in parts and make the rest of the payment after camp training. I managed to pay N30,000 as first payment.

Some of us are workers, so we approached the camp commandant in my state that is there a way we could manage our work/businesses with the camp training. He told us to upgrade our payment to N40,000 first , then we can report to camp on Fridays and return to our homes on Sundays to resume at our work/business place on Monday. The arrangement seems ok to us.

Later on they announced one weekend at the camp that we trainees are required to pay for a biodata form which will cost us another N5,000, and that its mandatory, that failure to obtain the bio-data form will amount to denial from the peace corp . Infact we are still expected to make some payments that would eventually amount to N60,000 (including the 45,000 training fees).

So, in my own opinion, i think the Nigerian peace corp are just there to make money out of desperate unemployed/underemployed Nigerians. I hope the federal government pass the said bill into law soon because that is what pushed most of us in taking the recruitment form.
