Nexusz:
If what you say is true, and you don't receive any mail from the CSC within two weeks from now, sadly you were not selected. The FSB doesn't send out mails. The CSC mails is the confirmation of the award of scholarship for Nigerians.
Thank you so much for the responses. I am grateful

Good evening. Sadly the FSB doesn't send out mails to their nominated candidates. You only get a mail from the CSC by June. Best wishes.
Thank you very much for your response. I am concerned because some candidates who attended the interview with me have already received provisional selection emails from CSC. I would like to know if there is still a chance for me to receive an email as well.

Nexusz:
I have been provisionally nominated for the Commonwealth scholarship. Today. If you applied through FSB check your spam.
I heard mails will keep on rolling till July.
Keep calm if you don't receive now and be hopeful.
Dear Sir Nexusz,

I am an applicant for the 2025/2026 commonwealth masters scholarship through the federal scholarship board.

I’ll like to find out if more candidates received provisional nomination mails after the date you got yours in 2023. This is to help me decided if I should still be hopeful about my applications as some candidates have received mails while I haven’t.

Thank you for the anticipated response.

AEI0:
My own issue is, I did my regularization last year April, submitted the indemnity form around September and up till date, I haven't heard or gotten any admission from jamb. I have gone back and forth from school to Jamb office at my University state and the one where I base. They keep saying school hasn't recommended my name of which the school is saying that have.

I have to meet with the admission officer at my school and he recommended I do it again which I did but this time I had to make sure the admission officer process my name to jamb on their Cap. Nothing has come out of the two regularization till date. I checked my indemnity form status it says my transaction ID has not been used to apply. I'm so confused right now. What do you think I should do please?
I have already graduated, it's NYSC and jamb admission that's the problem now.
Good day sir/ma
Please how did you eventually resolve this issue as I’m having a similar problem now. Did my regularization about a year ago
Christianity EtcRe: Your Dreams Explained by vitaminA: 7:52am On Nov 23, 2020
[quote author=TayehJiboluwa post=95929570]Thank you sir.

I had what seems to be like a dream this morning. I was partially awake then. In the dream, I entered into the compound of my secondary school. As soon as I entered it was as if I was knocked down by a powerful force. So I lied down looking at the sky. Then I started seeing some well written scripts in the sky for some minutes. The scripts disappeared and then I had a strong sensation on my tongue. It seemed as if the tongue was twisting/burning or something.
Christianity EtcRe: Your Dreams Explained by vitaminA: 12:01am On Nov 11, 2020
Good day Sir,

Growing up as a kid, I do have dreams that ends up playing out in reality after some time.

I gave my life to Christ at a point but I fell back to sin for a long time. I'm just trying to get right with God once again.

Now, I hardly remember my dreams in full or see them playing out in reality anymore.

What could be wrong sir?
PoliticsCyber Criminals: Confronting The Few Who Dent The Many -dr. Bukola Saraki by vitaminA(op):
CYBER CRIMINALS: CONFRONTING THE FEW WHO DENT THE MANY

BY DR. ABUBAKAR BUKOLA SARAKI



In recent times, there has been an alarming increase in the number of reported cases of Nigerians alleged to have been involved in Cyber scams in different parts of the world. The sheer number of these cases, the amount involved and the effect that they have on the national image and psyche require urgent action by our government and Nigerians at large.

A few days ago, the United States Treasury Department sanctioned some Nigerian cyber criminals who are said to have targeted U.S businesses and individuals in wire frauds. In the same week, a young Nigerian, who was recently featured in Forbes Magazine’s “30 under 30” pleaded guilty to cyber fraud involving over $11m USD in Virginia. Also, some Nigerians were reported to have been arrested in the United Arab Emirates for allegedly committing cyber fraud in excess of $35m USD, by allegedly illegally diverting money from a fund set up to combat the negative effects of Covid-19.

What all these cases portend is that while the world is battling with the socio-economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and confronting the raging agitation against racism and discrimination, Nigeria has to additionally cope with more negative news generated by the activities of her fraudulent citizens particularly against the United States of America and the United Arab Emirate.

Another implication of this rising trend of Nigerian fraudsters becoming bolder and daring in their nefarious activities is that the national outcry against their activities and the operations of the nation’s law enforcement agencies have not effectively checkmated these shameful ambassadors.

It is worrisome that this insignificant population of misguided Nigerian youths have chosen to earn a living through criminal activities. More than that, it saddens me greatly to notice the damaging effect the activities of these fraudsters is having on their fellow country men and women. These fraudsters have earned the disrepute for Nigeria as a nation of dubious people. Millions of Nigerian citizens who travel across the world to study, work and live peacefully while abiding with the laws of their host countries have also now become stigmatised. The immigration and homeland security officials will certainly reinforce intrusive inspections when screening us at the point of entry and even when we go around town in foreign lands. There might be more humiliating experiences and some negative comments made against us.

Our genuine business men and women will have to pass tougher diligence tests while dealing with new partners. Our diplomatic chanceries also will have a lot more work to do and more endurance to cope with the sniggering that will be directed at them. One can only pity young Nigerians seeking to obtain STEM qualifications in order to secure good jobs, at home and abroad.

Only recently, during a trip to Berlin, I met young Nigerians representing their nation. They are highly skilled young IT players who can compete internationally. Indeed, their skills are of the kind that can be used to combat cybercrime. However, they are but a few and their achievements all too easily get lost beneath the flood of bad news generated by the fraudsters.

The question then is: why should millions of innocent, hardworking people suffer from the thieving tactics of a few hundreds of people with warped sense of fiscal immorality and no passion for patriotism and Godliness? Every national or citizen is an ambassador of his country wherever he is. That is why the activities of these international fraudsters or internet scammers deserve tough and collective measures from all of us.

There is the need for everybody – current and past political office holders, leaders of the private sector, religious leaders, Non-Governmental Organisations, Civil Society leaders, members of the academia and professional groups. We should all take responsibility and commit to tackling the menace of the fraudsters who de-market our country. The implication of their actions on the national economy, on inflow of foreign investments, on international confidence in the Nigerian nation or self-respect of the Nigerian is too high.

One has to acknowledge the present and past efforts of government to deal with the situation. The current efforts aimed at curbing this scourge, such as the Cyber Crimes Act and the Digital Rights Bill, now seem inadequate in the face of recent statistics. Definitely, there is an urgent and apparent need for innovative and effective approach.

What then do I propose as an initial step? One, we must totally rejig and restructure our education system in such a way that it faces the reality of today’s world and prepare those who go through the system with useful skill and mind-set to be useful to themselves and to society. Our emphasis should shift from just possession of certificates to that of skill acquisition and developing the mind to nurse progressive ambition that will serve collective interest. There should also be inbuilt moral, patriotic and positive content in the knowledge impacted by education institutions to their students.

This review of the education system must involve the private sector to work with educationists and policy makers for a needs assessment. This will enable the classrooms to produce graduates that fit into the industry. The objective of the proposed review is therefore to achieve the relevance of the education system to today and tomorrow’s need of the industry, create synergy between these two sectors of the society and eventually reduce unemployment. It will also create useful, competent and confident graduates who can create employment and survive without resorting to crime.

Two, we need to change the conditions that make crime appeal and attractive to our youth by creating an economy that encourages and incentivizes hard work, talent and skill. There are various uncharted path in our economy which needs to be navigated and mapped by the government to enable the youths creatively and gainfully exploit it. For example, agriculture, mining, the creative industry, tourism and information technology sectors retain and harbour huge potential to grow Nigeria. Our governments must lead the way to enable our youths pursue their goals in these areas.

Three, there is the need for mentoring by opinion leaders, of all hues. These leaders should engage in one form of mentoring or the other to help in teaching good values, patriotism, hard work and restoring the moral fibre of our society. They should help to inculcate professional ethics in our youth. After all, this is also part of real leadership. There is also the need for society to consciously discourage the chase after easy and fast way to wealth by the youths. At all levels, we should discourage giving recognition to people who run into sudden wealth and those who flagrantly display wealth whose source they cannot explain.

More importantly, our law enforcement agencies should devise and evolve a more comprehensive approach of investigating, prosecuting and getting the judiciary to punish incidents of cybercrimes as quickly as possible. Such an approach will involve working with foreign countries for a free flow of actionable intelligence and the modification of legal and regulatory frameworks. Both the law enforcement agencies and the judiciary should work on processes and procedures that will quickly determine cases involving cybercrime.

Transparent, efficient and prompt delivery of justice in such cases will change the impression held in the international community that these type of crimes are festering in our country because we treat them with levity. It may be necessary for our various law enforcement agencies to embark on ambitious and aggressive training programmes aimed at equipping investigators, prosecutors and judges who will be handling cases involving cybercrime with digital forensic skills. Cybercrime is a sophisticated, modern and dynamic criminal activity. The perpetrators are usually smart, intelligent and have an uncanny understanding of their devious game. It takes an investigator with a better understanding of the tools and techniques, to track them down and prove their guilt.

To help the understanding of this malaise and how to deal with it, I have directed The African Politiea Initiative to conduct a study and propose a holistic solution aimed at discouraging the involvement of Nigerian youths in cyber fraud. The study should include measures to be taken in adjusting the school curriculum with a view to having ethics based modules, training for investigative and prosecutorial agencies, steps necessary to improve international confidence in our local agencies, and how to improve international cooperation towards stemming cyber fraud. This project will involve special focus on working with the U.S. and UAE governments at all levels, especially with their law enforcement agencies, to search for practical solution.

I must reiterate my earlier opinion that to tackle this kind of challenge “we do not require oil prices to rise or dollar exchange rate to the naira to be lower…What is needed is the commitment on the part of everybody…” and the political will. We need a unity of purpose to re-orientate our youths and reset our national values.

Dr. Saraki was President of Nigerian 8th Senate, and is Board Chair, The Africa Politeia Institute (TAPI).

PoliticsI Remain Loyal To Apc,says Saraki by vitaminA(op): 6:01pm On Jul 18, 2016
Senate President Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki on Monday restated his loyalty to the governing All Progressives Congress (APC).
Saraki also reiterated his belief that the President Muhammadu Buhari's government will redeem its electoral promises made during the 2015 general elections.
The Senate President spoke at the 10th Abuja Housing Show where top government officials and prominent stakeholders in the housing sector brainstormed on the theme: “Expanding Access To Affordable Housing In Africa.”
Acknowledging the presence of the APC National Organizing Secretary, Senator Osita Izunaso who earlier kick-started discussions at the summit, Saraki assured that the APC government is unwaveringly committed to the social welfare of the people while re-affirming his unalloyed loyalty to the party.

“The Senate and the National Assembly as a whole believe very strongly that we must make a difference in the housing sector,” he said.
The Senate President, reacting to observations that the existing housing laws need respective amendment and repeal, charged the organizers of the Summit to take a further step by forwarding a document of laws requiring amendments to the National Assembly.

“I assure you that action will be taken instantaneously,” Saraki promised.
Saraki asserted that the Senate has commenced the review processes of several laws affecting property rights and access housing in the country.
According to him, the review of the National Housing Fund Act is on-going and would be completed before the end of the year.
According to the APC National Organizing Secretary, Senator Izunaso, housing deficit in Nigeria is pegged at 17million housing units.
"As at today, only 10 per cent of those who dream to own a house in the country can afford it, as against the 92 per cent house owners in Singapore.

"The central objective of the Summit, however, is to come up with feasible strategies on how to end the problem of homelessness in Nigeria," Izunaso said.
Other personalities at the Summit include the representative of the Speaker of House of Reps, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Hakan Çakıl, TUC President, Comrade Bobboi Kaigama, among other investors.

PoliticsSenate Presidents New Year Message To Nigerians by vitaminA(op): 10:15am On Jan 01, 2016
Happy New Year! Let's Join Hands To Make Nigeria Great
Again

Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki on Thursday
called on Nigerians to join hands with the present
administration to make the country great again, by
supporting its policies and programmes aimed at restoring
full security across the country and revamping the economy.

Saraki in a New Year message to Nigerians signed by his
Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, in
Abuja, congratulated the people as they mark the New Year
festivities and for their resilience and patience especially in
the face of daunting economic challenges.

He said that the need for effective collaboration between the people and the Federal Government - led by President
Muhammadu Buhari - is imperative to overcome the
nation's most pressing socio-economic challenges and to
make the nation prosperous once again.

He added that the present government is working to ensure
the world stops talking of the potentials of Nigeria and move
on to counting the achievements and progress recorded by
our country as the true giant of Africa and major player in
world politics.

The Senate President noted that the Federal Government
through the nation's Armed Forces and the support of all
Nigerians have recorded tremendous success in the fight
against insurgency while pointing out that intense
collaboration between the citizenry and government is
needed more than ever before to prevent incessant attacks
from Boko Haram and eradicate all forms of criminality in
the land.

He commiserated with all victims of suicide attacks during
the Christmas celebration and said he was greatly
encouraged by the determination displayed by the security
agencies so far in their efforts to effectively close that sad
chapter of the nation's history.

Saraki said: "I am delighted that we are celebrating the New
Year not only in peace but as a united country to the shame
of doom's day prophets that predicted that this country
would not survive the year 2015. Notwithstanding the
negative predictions, we are today marking the New Year as
one indivisible country and more than ever before
determined as a people to live together in peace, love and
unity.

"This is why it is crucial for the government and the people
to continue to work together to ensure total restoration of
security in every nook and cranny of the country and to set
the nation's economy on the path of progress once more.
Nigeria is the only country we have. Let's unite to defend
and make her the greatest country in the continent," Saraki
stated.

He urged all citizens who are aggrieved over any issue to
always explore the various available constitutional means of
seeking redress and resolution rather than resorting to
means that will create tension and bring benefit to nobody.

The Senate President pledged that the National Assembly
would continue to fashion out appropriate legislative
instruments that would bring succour to Nigerians, boost
economic growth and strengthen the fight against corruption
and insurgency in the land.
END

PoliticsSaraki May Bow To Apc's Position On Principal Officers - Vanguard by vitaminA(op): 9:15pm On Oct 21, 2015
Strong indications emerged, yesterday, that
Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, was prepared to bow
to the position of All Progressives Congress, APC, by
sacrificing his principal officers.

According to a source,
part of the unwritten
agreement to allow
peace to reign was to
revert to the initial list
of the party on the
appointment of
principal officers.

This was part of the
political solution
being worked out by
the Speaker of House
of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, and Senate
President, Saraki.

A source said Dogara and the leadership of APC in the
Senate held a marathon meeting at the new wing of the
Senate complex yesterday evening, where it was agreed
that the current holders of the Majority Leadership
positions should give way to those anointed by the party.

The source noted that Saraki had been under pressure to
intimate his supporters in the Senate, including Senate
Leader, Ali Ndume; his Deputy, Bala Ibn Na’allah, and
Deputy Majority Whip, Senator Francis Alimikhena, on the
need to toe the party’s line as regards the composition of
Senate Majority Leadership.

According to a source, the Senate President had
communicated Ndume and Na’Allah about the decision of
the party on the need for them to vacate the offices.

It was also gathered that Senator Ahmad Lawan had been
informed of the readiness of the Senate President to
announce him as the new Senate Leader.

It will be recalled that the National Chairman of APC, Chief
John Odigie-Oyegun, had on June 24 written the Senate
President and Speaker Dogara, listing the names of
proposed occupants of the leadership positions.

While Dogara kept faith with the party’s list, Saraki’s allies
in the Senate named different persons, whose names
were announced on the floor of the Senate in July.

PoliticsSaraki Responds To Alleged Plot By Him And Tinubu by vitaminA(op): 12:11am On Oct 12, 2015
I saw the statement said to be issued by Senator Bola
Ahmed Tinubu over a story published by The Sun
newspapers. I have decided not to join issues with Asiwaju
Bola Ahmed Tinubu. However, I know that most Nigerians
are aware that there has been no meeting or
communication between me and Asiwaju Tinubu since I was
elected Senate President. Therefore, I do not see any basis
for a newspaper to report that we are both plotting to
oppose the President.

I recognise Tinubu as one of the leaders of the APC who
contributed so much to the victory of the party in the last
election. Some other people also contributed and I believe
the collective efforts made it possible for the first time in the
history of our party for an opposition party to win the
general elections,
Let me state clearly that I remain a committed member of
the APC and will do all in my power to ensure the party fulfill
its promises to bring positive changes into the country.
Since my election as Senate President, my focus and efforts
have been devoted to doing the job that I was elected to do
by my constituents and my colleagues in the Senate. Twice,
my colleagues have confirmed their support for me as the
primus inter pares in the Senate.

As I said in my speech when we resumed from our recess
late September and in Ikenne yesterday, the screening of
ministerial nominees will be handled by me and my
colleagues with all sense of responsibility and in adherence
to the provision of the constitution. We will be fair to all and
be guided by the interest of Nigeria. The screening will be
devoid of sentiment and it is not an opportunity for anybody
to settle scores. We are equally eager for us to make a
positive difference in our polity and Nigerians will be able to
judge us whether we acted in their best interest or not.

PoliticsSaraki Congratulates Muslims On Eid-el-kabir by vitaminA(op): 10:08pm On Sep 23, 2015
..........preaches fear of Allah, unity

President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on
Wednesday felicitated with the Muslim faithful on this year's
celebration of Eid-el-Kabir and urged Nigerians to make the
fear of God the foundation for their lives.
Saraki in a goodwill message to Nigerians, especially the
Muslim faithful, to commemorate the Eid-el-Kabir said the
Eid-el-Kabir festival symbolised the fear of Allah and the
desire of man to always comply with the wish of his creator
as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim.

He noted that with fear of Allah, mutual respect and love,
"we will tolerate one another, work together and be able to
harness our abundant resources as a progressive nation.
We cannot achieve much with unnecessary factions and
disharmony. What Nigerians need now is to move forward
with the present change era".

He also called on all Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of love,
tolerance and mutual respect adding that these virtues are
the panacea to move the nation forward.
Saraki said: "We have herculean tasks to address. Our army
of unemployed graduates and youths are hovering on the
street. Insecurity is threatening the peace and social
development of our dear nation, quality health care services
and economic buoyancy are major challenges that require
urgent attention.
"I am very optimistic that with our collective efforts, these
challenges are surmountable and we will soon overcome."
Saraki stated.

The Senate President however used the occasion to call on
all arms of government not to rest on their oars in the
onerous task of building a formidable nation where all
Nigerians will live in peace and prosperity.

Saraki charged Muslims to continue to pray for the
government, the Military and other agencies in the fight
against insurgency adding that the peace and socio-
economic development of our nation remain paramount.
He pledged the continuos support and encouragement of
the Senate in putting Nigeria back on the right track.

Yusuph Olaniyonu

Senate
