2015 General Elections Must Hold –– Speaker Tambuwal Warns

Friday, September 19, 2014

Speaker, House of Reps, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has insisted that Nigeria’s general elections must hold in 2015 despite fears in some quarters over the possibility of conducting peaceful elections amidst the insurgency in the country’s north east.

Tambuwal’s statement comes on the heels of controversies generated by the “election is not on the table now” statement credited to Senate President David Mark.
“I firmly believe we can go into elections in 2015; elections in 2015 should be held.What we need to do is to address insurgency before the elections and encourage soldiers to do the needful,” Tambuwal stated at a meeting with a delegation of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) at the National Assembly.
Section 180(3) of the 1999 Constitution says if the country is at war, there will not be elections. Many have called for a declaration of war on Boko Haram to check the sect in the North East.

"The tattoos on my body are Bible inscriptions"- Actor Ik Ogbonna

Nollywood Actor and Model, Ik Ogbonna explained his many tattoos to the Netng

    The tattoos on my body are Bible inscriptions and they mean something to me. I don’t have dead bodies or funny looking quotes on it. I understand the Bible says we should not inscribe the drawings or names of the dead or other gods. The same goes for piercing, the bible does not say piercing or braiding of hair is exclusive to a (particular) sex....
    I would have had more tattoos but because I am an actor and some roles will not allow me. Soon, I may go very crazy with tattoos. I love art a lot, this is my body, God gave it to me’...

Corp Members Will Now Have to Pay N4,000 to Get Call-up Letters' – NYSC

The National Youth Service Corps has defended its new policy that requires prospective corps members to pay N4,000 each before accessing their call-up letters online. According to the agency that mobilizes Nigerian graduates for their compulsory one-year service to the nation, insinuations that the new system was introduced for exploitative reasons is not true.

Speaking with the News  Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja yesterday, the agency’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Mrs  Olubunmi Aderibigbe, said the new policy was in the interest of the corps members. That contrary to the false impression, the new process was aimed at improving efficiency and reducing the stress  associated with the collection of call-up letters by  prospective corps members. She said:

    It is wrong for anyone to assert that NYSC is exploiting  prospective corps members through the new computerized process. Some people seem not to know what some of prospective corps  members go through before collecting their call-up letters;  many of them travel several kilometers away from their homes  just to get the call-ups.
    What we have done is in fact to reduce the cost and risks  associated with the collection of the call-ups and to eliminate  sharp practices associated with the old process.’’


The director of Corps Mobilisation of the scheme, Antony Ani also stated that the services which include receipt of call-up numbers through email/sms, printing or re-printing of call-up letters online in case of loss, was optional. That prospective corps members who choose to collect their call-up letters from their institutions need not pay the stipulated fee.
