NYSC Posting - My take!!!


My take on the recent NYSC posting. Please share and like, you could save a life.
 Dear NYSC members, if you have been posted to any of the danger zones where Boko Haram is king, you are on your own if you go. 
The fact that orientation camps can't hold in Yobe and Borno confirms that the states are not safe for corpers because it has been said that all the NYSC members posted to Yobe and Borno will have their orientation in Adamawa, then redeployed to Yobe and Borno but seriously........

If President Goodluck Jonathan himself could not visit Yobe and Borno, I see no reason why any corp member should be posted there.
How a responsible government sends citizens to serve in areas akin to bombing baffles me. I just don't understand the rationale.

Should any governor assure you of your safety in Yobe, please don't play foolish. He will be guarded by a battalion when Boko Haram strikes you.
Oyo state governor's daughter just got awarded in Oyo state for her meritorious service weeks ago as an ex corps member in Oyo state why can't they send their own children to the troubled zones.
If Boko Haram attacks northerners in church and anywhere? How will you guarantee the safety of corp members who are strangers?

GEJ will not condemn NYSC posting to Yobe and trouble zones but he's ready to condemn the deaths of corp members.
Should anything happen to any corp member posted to Yobe and trouble spots, GEJ via Abati has his condemnation speech ready.

To be fore warn is to be fore armed. He that has ears should listen now!!!

"Poorest" president in the world donates 90% of salary to charity.


How's this as a man of the people: The president of Uruguay, José Mujica, has earned a nickname , "el presidente mas pobre" (translation: "poorest president").
The 77-year-old recently admitted to the Spanish newspaper El Mundo  that he donates almost all of his presidential salary, making him the poorest, or, as Univision pointed out, most generous president, in the world.
El presidente explained he receives $12,500 a month but keeps only $1,250. The public servant told the newspaper, "I do fine with that amount; I have to do fine because there are many Uruguayans who live with much less."
He and his wife—a senator who also donates part of her salary—live in a farmhouse in Montevideo. His biggest expense is his Volkswagen Beetle, valued at $1,945.
Perhaps not surprisingly, under the former guerrilla fighter, who was elected in 2010 as a member of the left-wing coalition, the Broad Front, the country has become known for being one of the least corrupt on the continent.
Mujica has no bank accounts and no debt, and he enjoys one thing money can't buy: the companionship of his dog, Manuela.
