Have You Looked Into Working From Home?  https://youtu.be/Y7fWskHI41o?t=189   Paul Maxwel from Nigeria never thought about trying to make a living on the internet, until he read about making money online and filled out a simple online form. In a very short time, he realized he had stumbled across something big, a way to provide for his wife and children. Paul's story has gone viral and we decided to feature his story in our weekly Employment report. In our phone interview he told me his amazing story. "I actually make $20,000 - $25,000 a month from home. It's enough to easily replace the income from the 3 jobs I was working, especially considering I only work about 15-20 hours a week from my home. Paul says anyone can get cheques like this Working online has been a big break for Paul, who has been unemployed for months, unable to find a decent job. "I lost my job right as our newest child was born, I needed stable income, I wanted to avoid the

By Edward Jaleyemi THERE are many reasons to fear criminals. There are many reasons for which, when they are caught (especially by a mob) the urge to deprive them of their most prized possession – their lives – can be so overwhelming. The fragile foundations of the nation’s unity and stability were visibly shaken when one of our most respected living elder statesmen, Chief Olu Falae, was kidnapped by “Fulani herdsmen”. The spark of controversy this ignited set the nation on edge, as Falae’s Yoruba ethnic group was engaged in a face-off and media exchanges with the Fulani ethnic group. The Yoruba, through Afenifere’s spokesman, Chief Yinka Odumakin, accused “Fulani herdsmen” of invading farmlands in many parts of their homeland, killing, raping women, harassing villagers and involving themselves in abominable activities. Falae The Fulani, through the National Secretary of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, Alhaji Baba Ngelzarma, debunked th

Mrs. Sarah Jubril, Nigeria’s first female presidential candidate, was Special Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan on Ethics and Values. In this interview, she blamed some of government functionaries and Jonathan’s appointees for the woes the immediate past administration suffered. She also frowns at the infighting and alleged impunity in the current administration and says that implementation of ethics and values in the polity is the surest way to rescue the country from the clutches of corruption. H er assessment of President Buhari’s fight against corruption It is a worthy fight, a good fight on behalf of all of us. However, it is a continuous fight because even the previous administration talked about zero tolerance for corruption, that was what late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua was talking about. The fight this time is coined as fighting corruption for change. The previous administration mentioned about fighting corruption by transformation agenda. The

By Edward Jaleyemi DEPARTMENT of State Services (DSS) weekend, in Lagos, commissioned 385 cadet officers in a bid to combat the rising security challenges in the country. The 385 officers were the lucky ones that successfully went through 10 months of rigorous professional, academic and physical training and were certified fit to serve the nation in their capacity as members of DSS, out of the 459 cadet officers that started the training late last year. The officers were commissioned amidst promises by the DSS to COLLABORATE  more with other sister security agencies in its fight against insecurity and to ensure that recruitment into the Service was merit-based in keeping with its extant guidelines. Speaking at the passing out parade at the State Service Academy (SSA), Lagos State, the Director General, SS, Mr. Lawal Daura, said gone were the days when misfits or non-eligible candidates found their way into the Service. “The aim is to ensure that only the right calibers of

A man who stands for nothing, will fall for anything – -Malcom X AN Igbo proverb says “If you know what will bring dispute don’t do it”. This implies that when a person or group of persons, decide to do things that will bring dispute, it is either that they have assessed their victim as a weakling, or they simply think that they can cause trouble, and get away with it. I have wondered why after 55 years as a nation, Nigeria has remained unable to manage cows, and with all she has, as a people, she has failed woefully to address such a simple matter as keeping cows out people’s farms, gardens, and public places. The big surprise to any normal person is the ease and comfort, which our leaders in the past and present, rationalise, and condone such an unusual matter as the continued ravaging menace of the so called Fulani herds men in this country. The real herdsmen of cows are Fulanis from the north and were   usually simple minded humble fellows, but that was in the yester years.

By Edward Jaleyemi The World Bank has said it needed time to give detail on how it dispense the recovered assets stolen by Late General Sani Abacha and how it was spent by the Nigerian government. The bank made the disclosure in a response to a request by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) asking for information on the spending of recovered assets stolen by the late Head of State.

However, we may need additional time in special circumstances, for example, if the request is complex or volumino

By Edward Jaleyemi E NUGU— The wife of the President, Hajia Aisha Muhammed Buhari, has urged the Nigerian women, especially  pregnant and nursing mothers to always present themselves for proper medical attention in order to avert unnecessary health hazards.
