President Reveals What Recovered Loots Will Be Used For.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said his administration was determined to recover money stolen by former public officers to create jobs for the nation’s teeming unemployed youths.

The President said this at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Gbakuta, Iseyin, Oyo State, during the swearing-in of Batch `A’ corps members posted to the state.

Buhari, whose speech was read by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Youths and Sport, Mrs Ololade Agboola, said recovered funds would be used to create jobs.

“One of the disturbing problems inherited by this administration is increasing unemployment amongst young people.

“In fact, the unemployment situation has taken a great toll on the Nigeria youths at their prime productive ages.

“That is why this administration is anxious to recover illicit wealth to channel them into productive economic ventures to absorb thousands into employment’’, he said.

He said government was aware of rejection of corps members, infrastructure deficit at the orientation camps, and dwindling resources as some challenges facing the NYSC.

“I have been informed that these problems have persisted due to monumental growth in graduate population and inadequate corresponding resource provisions.

“These seemingly intimidating obstacles should not dampen your zeal to make the desired sacrifice to serve your fatherland as government is prepared to address these problems’’, he said.

The President implored corps members to settle down quickly and learn about ideals of life while contributing their quota to national unity.

The Clumsy Wife

When you were asked about your swollen right eye, you said you sleepwalked and hit your face against the wall. We all said sorry and asked you to get well soon. A few days after, it was your chin that was shifted to the side. In response, you blamed it again in your clumsiness and that you feel off the bed. You are a grown woman in her late 30's. This time, we had questions that we couldn't dare to ask you. Weeks later, you were limping and you assured us that it was your clumsiness that made you fall down the stairs. At this point, we faced our business and wished you all the best. 2 months later, you're lying in a golden casket, 6 feet under the ground. The autopsy read that you died from a deep gash on your forehead, probably a hit from the bloody plank of wood that was found beside your corpse. At this point, you want to talk. You wanted to say it all. But it's too late. Your husband claimed you hit your head on the plank, and we all believed him because you told u

This is done in a festival named Swazi Reed Dance Festival where girls are paraded and tested publicly to know their virginity status. It has been a long time tradition in Swaziland and not the first time this controversial issue is making it into the news.

Slum King Movie Review

If you remember how I mentioned from the beginning that the series had a lot of errors that just didn't cut it for me. But the episode 10 made up for a whole lot. Although, it had its flaws, it was a beautiful ending for the series. The writer is like mem this is how I write sometimes. Just want to rush to the end where the beauty of the movie is. I love how Maje lost both women. I would have preferred he ended up with Yaga but I don't understand the crave for Kate. I commented on the producer's IG post that we don't need a sequel. It's not necessary. Let all of us rest with this one. But I see her commenting like there'd be a sequel as she left a lot of things and characters open. Characters like Selense and Sapele water. In all, Slum King is just there as a series but I'd pick it over series like Wura. Y'all need to start giving Tobi his flowers. He is too good!!!
