Nigeria Will Sustain NYSC Scheme - Sports Minister

Dokunola 2 hours ago 40229
President Muhammadu Buhari will sustain the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme for graduates, Naij.com has gathered.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), this was disclosed by Solomon Dalung, Nigeria’s minister of Youths, Sports and Social Development, during an official visit to the NYSC orientation camp in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos state on Tuesday, January 5, 2016.
Barrister Solomon Dalung believes that President Muhammadu Buhari will sustain the NYSC scheme.
“I will stand for the sustenance of the scheme and that it should continue to grow. What we need to do now is introduce skills acquisition, empowerment; we need to now repackage the scheme.
“At the level of the Federal Government, we are thinking of after the mandatory one year service, those who want to learn a trade, skills acquisition and entrepreneurship can be retained and be given more training.
“Our graduates are enlightening minds, whatever you teach them, they will survive with it. So a grant will be given to them at the end to start off and train other people,” Dalong was quoted to have said.
Speaking further, he said: “You should have high tension Illumination at the camp, as soon as possible.
“If you have over 2,000 Nigerians in a place like this, you should have a perfect illumination due to the present security challenges in the country. I am impressed with what I have seen on ground at the camp; the facilities are good, I am satisfied.”
While charging the body to renovate all existing orientation camps in the country, Dalong informed that it had become very important for the camps to be upgraded to accommodate the increasing number of graduates that would be expected for the scheme.
“So as you embark on renovation, put it in mind that more people will be using the facilities.
“I am saying this because I do not know when we will get a new orientation camp, but we are sure that we will have more students passing out of the tertiary institutions.
“When we started this scheme, we never planned for what we have now.
“Nigeria did not plan to have the number of graduate we have today, so the whole concept of NYSC would have started with permanent structures.
“The visionaries of the scheme did not anticipate that the scheme would live this long, after the civil war,” Dalong added.
Recently, there were reports that there was a major bomb scare at the camp ground of the NYSC’s

Lagos strip clubs returns to Business

        For strip clubs owners, especially Club Unique, Ikeja, Lagos, which still parades young ladies who dance nude to the delight of its teeming patrons, it is no longer business as usual.                                                                                                                                Strippers                            The club, which was re-opened early last year by the State House of Assembly in Lagos, after it was shut down alongside three other notorious clubs is presently witnessing a dull moment.

Inside The Ibadan ritual camp

Image
     IBADAN, the Oyo State capital, has of late been in the news for not very good reasons. In what could easily pass as a scene from a horror film, a slave camp was discovered in the heart of the city.               This camp where unspeakable horrors have been committed apparently combined the functions of a shrine with that of a home or a transit camp where captives were randomly raped and offered up for rituals after vital organs have been taken out of their body.                                                        The Ibadan camp of horror brings under one roof the cannibal practice of Clifford Orji and the blood-chilling sacrifices and oath-taking of Okija. Like Orji’s one-man practice, the site was located in a city but like the Okija shrine, the camp was enveloped in a wilderness...
