Image
The expectations of many N-Power 2016 beneficiaries were shattered yesterday when Afolabi Imoukhuede , the senior special assistant to the president on job creation (N-Power Scheme) said in a facebook LIVE video that there is no permanency employment to the 2016 beneficiaries. He encourage the 2016 participant to save for investment and plan ahead since the scheme is only for two years. On the pre-selected candidates, he said he empathized with them but the scheme don't want to struggle in paying them and that is why they have not been finally selected. He said they have not lost sight of them.

We Need Disability Rights Bill Alongside Not Too Young To Run

Image
Two days ago, the Senate passed the Not Too Young To Run bill. This means at age 35, Nigerian youths can contest for President and at the age of 30, a Governor or Senators. At age 25, legislate in the National and State Assemblies across the country. I am happy that the Senate has passed the #nottooyoungtorunbill. At age 35-40, I would probable be the president of Federal Republic of Nigeria. LOLs But I am disappointed seeing some people living with Disability celebrating the passing of the bill when our own bill, #DisabilityrightsBill is there sitting or abandoned either at the Senate or the Presidency. Who will benefit from the "not too young to lead" bill passed by the Senate? You who dont have money to register with a political party, not to mention that of buying a candidacy form OR the children of those politicians who are at this moment studying how Nigeria's political systems work in an irvy league universities abroad? To my disability counterparts, especially
