No More N5000 Stipend For Unemployed Youths - Buhari Clears the Air

The President has finally cleared the air concerning the controversial N5000 stipend his party had earlier promised unemployed youths in their campaign manifesto.
In what appears to be a major U-turn from what his campaign promises before the 2015 presidential election, president Mohammadu Buhari has said he would not pay the N5000 stipend he promised to unemployed youth in the country.
The president made the remarks at the weekend while on the visit in Middle East. He said it was wise to use a collation of the funds to put up infrastructures and empower them through agriculture for than to give out monies.
He said:-
“This largesse N5,000 for the unemployed, I have got a slightly different priority. I would rather do the infrastructure, the school and correct them and empower agriculture, mining so that every able bodied person can go and get work instead of giving 5,000, N5,000 to those who don’t work.”
It will be recalled that All Progressives Congress, APC had during its campaign supported the promise of paying N5,000 as monthly stipend to the most vulnerable in the country.

5 Reasons Why Nigerians Are So Religious

An average Nigerian is a very religious person. It is common place to find most Nigerians spend a productive part of their day in the church or at the mosque. Nigeria as been rated as one of the most religious nations in the world and to think that this very religious nations also ranks as one of the most corrupt in the world leaves any logical mind in confusion. A lot of people (even Nigerians themselves) may have wondered why Nigerians love religion so much! In helping the curious minds, INFORMATION NIGERIA in his piece brings you 5 reasons why this is so…
Religion is an escape: The Nigerian state is structured in a way that it offers no alternatives for its people. With high unemployment rates, improper social amenities, family and societal struggles, the church or mosque becomes an escape for the average Nigerian.
Motivational institution: Church/religion in Nigeria has become some sort of motivational institutes. Pastors are usually more of motivational speakers thank they are preachers of the good news. Because the state of Nigeria has left many downtrodden, they find succor in the motivational talks even though they know it only edify their body, not their soul.
Miracles: Nigerians are always in constant search for miracles. With horrible health facilities and high cost of hospital bills and medication, religion have been the last resort. Nigerians will gladly troop to churches and mosques or any other religious outfit that offer miracles to heal their diseases which would have cost a fortune to heal by doctors.
Laziness: People nowadays do not want to work, they just want to go to use religion as a front to make easy cash. For Christians, they would rather fast and pray 7 days of the week than go out and make a living and earn their daily bread.
Societal pressures: The pressure from the society to be prosperous like our mates, be married at a certain age and so on, has driven many Nigerians to become religious. You see religious leaders promising husband to unmarried ladies or the prospect of finding one in their religious gathering if only you would join and be loyal and committed.
Do you agree???

The Nigerian communications Commission (NCC) has warned Nigerians that the cyberspace is not aan venue to promote hatred as there are laws guiding against such.
This was made known by Mr Tony Ojobo, the director of public affairs of the commission on Monday, February 22 during a discussion on what the new media has to do with cybercrime act.
The programme which was part of the week-long Social Media Week was geared towards examining the issue of cybercrime and how it affects the new media.
Ojobo who was part of the discussant explained that a lot of laws were available which internet users have failed to familiarize themselves with.
He noted that people misuse the cyberspace by making xenophobic, comments, hate speech which are contrary to what is allowed.
He cited an example that if a person receives contents that contained child pornography and shares with other persons using the internet; the person is likely to go to prison even though he did not produce the material.

WAEC to Commence CBT Examination Mode Soon

West African Examinations Council, WAEC perfecting plans to migrate into the Computer Based Test (CBT) mode for its examinations.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is considering migrating to the Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode of examinations for it examinations, the Registrar disclosed in Lagos.

The Registrar of council, Dr Iyi Uwadiae, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

According to him, the council is considering all variables available to ensure that the entire process is not messed up.

He, however, noted that the council was not in a hurry to migrate because the council basically conducts achievement tests and not selection tests.

“We have looked at the issue of CBT and found that this is not a selection test, where one can deal with paper and pencil.

“With that, you can easily migrate to CBT, but for an achievement test where you train people to become engineers, medical doctors and others, there will be need for practical experience.

“So, they do not just train them practically in the class, they equally need to be tested on theory.

“Again this background, therefore, we are collaborating with other examination bodies and experts outside Nigeria to ensure that when we start, we will not mess up the entire process.

“And what is expected of the candidates can still be achieved,’’ he said.

Uwadiae noted that the council was being cautious in getting it done because there were many things involved.

“We are not in a hurry to move in there but with time, we are going to migrate into it and start with the objective tests.

“We have to still do the practical aspect because we want to be sure that all schools are on the same level.

“They must be on the same level in terms of learning and all other aspects so that we can be able to have confidence on the reliability of the continuous assessment and practicals, which their teachers will give us.

“For now, we cannot say what we get from these teachers are reliable as we insist on continuous assessment.

“We need to go to these schools and match them against any standard tests,’’ the registrar said.

On the persistent poor performance of candidates, Uwadiae said the issue was not peculiar to Nigeria alone.

He noted that effective teaching and learning were no longer taking place in schools, coupled with the issue of dearth of infrastructure.

According to him, students seldom stay in the classrooms; they spend more time on the internet and do not read and all that.

He explained that such students were not expected to perform miracles during examinations.

“We compare our standards with that of other examination bodies in Nigeria and internationally and so we cannot lower our standards.

“Our examinations are taken by candidates of five different countries and it is the same examination.

“We have our own internal mechanism, as well as a very functional research outfit.

“For every examination, we do a research to find out why candidates perform poorly and if after this, we still have some doubts, we do what is called post item analysis.

“Invariably we find out that our items are not bad.

“The teachers are the ones who set the questions, moderate and mark them; we only collate and release results as adjudged by the experts,’’ the council boss added. (NAN)
