DEDICATION TO ALL WOMEN AND GIRL'S

A SORRY BY A WOMAN!!

So what?
I get into an argument
with a man, he slaps me,
I feel the pain, yet they
tell me I provoked him. I
should have been quiet, I
should have been patient.
I should apologize to him.

I get into an argument
with a man, I slap him,
they tell me I have no
respect, no home
training. I should have
been quiet, I should have
been patient. I should
apologize to him.
Because I am a woman, I
don't have a right to be
angry. So, the degree of
my innocence is directly
proportional to the
degree of my silence in
the face of oppression
and brutality.....

Because I am a woman,
my husband cheats on
me, I am told to tolerate it
to save my marriage. The
barbaric and stupid
excuse is that ''it is in
their nature to cheat, I
should slim down, dress
better, cook better, pray
harder and be more
pleasant to him"

I cheat, and I am called a
whore, I have committed
an abomination, I have no
right to look elsewhere
for the love and
emotional support I lack
at home, I am an
irresponsible mother.

So I am sent packing,
from the home we both
built, with all my earthly
possessions stuffed into
a tiny box on my head. I
am henceforth forbidden
from seeing my two older
children, I'm lucky to be
allowed to go with my
little one still suckling on
my left breast. Three
years later, the little one
is tagged a bastard. Now,
my new name is "after-
three", because I am a
woman.

He is 28 and runs a
company. He's tagged
wonderful, hardworking,
focused, career oriented,
successful at a very
young age.

I am 28 and I run a
company "Hmmmm....
she is not even married,
unserious, can not order
her priorities right, a
hustler, loves money, let
her go and get a husband
oh"
And I wonder if being
successful has anything
to do with a person's
gender.

Because I am a woman,
I am not allowed to have
wits or be a prodigy, I
cannot be financially
buoyant, professionally
successful or be treated
with respect without a
man beside me.

Then I am tagged a
generous leg opener, "a
runs girl". They never see
the possibility that I
actually had to go
through ups and downs
to get to where I am,
because I am a woman.

A man looses his wife to
death and remarries a
year after, he did the right
thing, he's being praised
and congratulated for
moving on, after all life is
for the living.

A woman looses her
husband to death and
remarries after 4yrs,
"aaah! so early? Are u
sure she wasn't sleeping
with that man even when
her husband was alive?
That was why she killed
her husband. She's a
witch! Because she's a
woman. But don't
forget, that what makes a woman does not make her less human!
A Woman has
the most unique
character like salt! Her
presence is never
remembered, but her
absence makes all the
things tasteless.

This is dedicated to all women and girl child, help protect them

Nigeria stood by south Africa and the African country's at large

MANDELA TO NIGERIA...

“YOU know I am not very happy with Nigeria. I have made that very clear on many occasions. Yes, Nigeria stood by us more than any nation, but you let yourselves down, and Africa and the black race very badly. Your leaders have no respect for their people. They believe that their personal interests are the interests of the people. They take people’s resources and turn it into personal wealth. There is a level of poverty in Nigeria that should be unacceptable. I cannot understand why Nigerians are not more angry than they are.

“What do young Nigerians think about your leaders and their country and Africa? Do you teach them history? Do you have lessons on how your past leaders stood by us and gave us large amounts of money? You know I hear from Angolans and Mozambicans and Zimbabweans how your people opened their hearts and their homes to them. I was in prison then, but we know how your leaders punished western companies who supported Apartheid.

“What about the corruption and the crimes? Your elections are like wars. Now we hear that you cannot be president in Nigeria unless you are Muslim or Christian. Some people tell me your country may break up. Please don’t let it happen.
“Let me tell you what I think you need to do. You should encourage leaders to emerge who will not confuse public office with sources of making personal wealth. Corrupt people do not make good leaders. Then you have to spend a lot of your resources for education.

“Educate children of the poor, so that they can get out of poverty. Poverty does not breed confidence. Only confident people can bring changes. Poor, uneducated people can also bring change, but it will be hijacked by the educated and the wealthy...give young Nigerians good education. Teach them the value of hard work and sacrifice, and discourage them from crimes which are destroying your image as a good people.

NYSC CORPS MEMBER DEATH

NYSC DIRECTOR GENERAL PAYS LAST RESPECT AS REMAINS OF OWOLABI PRECIOUS AYO LEAVES NATIONAL HOSPITAL MORGUE

Uncontrollable tears flowed freely yesterday at the National Hospital Abuja, as the remains of  Owolabi Precious Ayo, a serving Corps Member witch Channels Television who was killed during Shiites protesters/police clash on Monday was lowered into a casket before he was conveyed to Kaduna.

The whole hospital arena was enveloped with mournful mood while sympathisers condemned the gruesome killing of the deceased who was on National assignment.

NYSC Director General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim led some Management Staff and Corps Members to the hospital to pay their last respect to the fallen hero.

Sympathisers at the hospital also include Members of staff from Channels Television and a host of others who wept uncontrollably.

Earlier, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim visited the Chief Medical Director of National Hospital Abuja, Dr JAF Momoh for the hospital's efforts on the victims of the protest.

Addressing pressmen at the hospital, Ibrahim commiserated the family of the slain Corps Member adding that his service would not be in vain.

Precious hailed from Oyo State and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Preforming Arts from the University of Ilorin.

YSSB Foreign Scholarship Selection and Screening Committee

The news of the appointment of the Yobe State Foreign Scholarship Selection and Screening Committee was received by the public with mixed reactions.
On the one hand, some were jubilating because youth are fully engaged in the whole process as a testimony to a campaign promise kept by HE Hon. Mai Mala Buni of running a government of the youth. Believing that this youth will bring new ideas on board.
While on the other hand, others were skeptical and worried, which is to the least legitimate, about the credibility of the process as to whether the committee will be as transparent as possible, making merit the leading criteria in its selection exercise.
To be candid, the opinions of the two disparate camps are both valid.
Going by the antecedents of similar exercises conducted in the past full of flaws, where mediocrity called the shot instead of meritocracy, hence, the former's optimism that this time around it won't be business as usual since the baton is passed to the youth, while the latter's pessimism rooted in the belief that the youth would do worse.
Anyway, we can't tell who's right until after the completion of the exercise. Only time tells.
I, therefore, want to implore the committee to prove the latter wrong.
It's pertinent that the committee acknowledges the fact that the integrity of its members has been put on the line. This is indeed a litmus test to them. Whichever way is the outcome, it'll have a lasting effect on their career.
All eyes is on you. The ball is in your court. Do everything within your ability to protect your hard learned reputation

Marking your self confident

A good part of getting a job is making a good impression and a good part of making a good impression is how you dress for the interview.

While considering what to wear to a job interview matters most, it is also important to consider what not to wear to make the best impression.

Keep bright or flashy colors to a minimum:
The best color for an interview outfit is black or neutral. Wearing bright colors to an interview is acceptable, if it correctly represents your personality. It is also important to consider the type of job you are interviewing for when checking out your outfits. There are lots of colors that are less dramatic that work well for business organisations.

Be careful of casual clothing:
It is not appropriate to wear a shorts T-shirts, tops, wristbands, head phones, hats and jeans to a job interview even when the weather is not conducive. Different organizations have their own dress codes and it is important to shop wisely and plan ahead.

Bold or flashy Jewelries:
Men and women should keep accessories to a minimum. Ladies should avoid wearing flashy necklaces or large sunglasses. It is important for men to be mindful of cufflinks, tie clips and belts which make you look professional.

Do not overdo your makeup
While it’s important to look to your best, loading on makeup is not the best way to go about it. Keep your look natural, avoiding dark shadow, bright lipstick or heavy foundation.

Clothes that do not fit:
It is very necessary to wear clothes that fit for an interview. If your outfit is too small, it can distract the discussion at hand and emphasize on issues that shouldn’t be professional. The same goes for clothes that are too big, everything matters including your overall appearance.

ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION

POOR ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION: WHO IS TO BLAME, GOVERNMENT OR COMMUNITY MEMBERS?

   By: IBRAHIM MUSA BABA

     

      Sanitation is the policy and practice of protecting health through hygienic measures by the use of hygienic disposal or recycling of waste.

   But unfortunately, both the government and members of the community are reluctant and negligence in making the environment clean. During the military rule, people were forced to clean their environment in each and every Saturday of the month ending, but now, it seems like we have abandoned the exercise.

   The government from Federal, State down to local government  are responsible to provide enabling environment like roads and drainages in other to ease people in terms of transportation system and  keeping the environment clean.

 Though in some communities the government has provided roads and drainages for the water channels but sadly in some areas people are using the drainages to dump their refusals and this may lead to over flooding and the water remained stagnant. This ofcourse is creating dirty and Strong odour that can cause diseases like cholera, malaria, typhoid and so on.

   The government still are responsible in making the environment clean through  the ministry of environment to take care of the sanitation exercise but this didn't reflect some areas.

  Instead of the community members to volunteer for the sanitation exercise but they failed to do so too. It's hoped that the community members will volunteer in making the environment clean and the government also will improve in the services delivery.
