Recruitment: NIS Defruaded Jobseekers – Hon. Gbajabiamila

Minority Leader of the House of
Representatives Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, said
the action of the Nigeria Immigration Service
(NIS) at collecting money from job seekers
amounted to fraud, which negated the spirit
and letters of Section 419 of the Criminal
Laws.
“What the NIS did was to obtain money by
false pretence, contrary to section 419 of our
criminal laws. Whoever is responsible must be
treated and punished as we would a 419ner.
“To make matters worse, I am not aware that
the revenue realised was considered as part of
the revenue profile of the agency or the
country when the 2014 budget was submitted.
“I am saddened by this occurrence and
dismayed that the Minister’s statement that
those who died were to blame for their
conduct, if true, showed no trace of humanity.
”It is obtaining by false pretense when you
take money from 520,000 people without
telling them up-front there was limited
vacancy for just 4,000 people, half of which
had already been given to cronies and
preferred candidates any way,” the lawmaker
said.
He stated that the exercise was a proof to the
alarming rate of unemployment in the country

The JNI had, through its Secretary-General, Dr. Khalid Abubakar, stated: “Christians, who by all acceptable records, are not more than 40 per cent of the country’s population, ironically, constitutes 62 per cent of the total delegates at the National Conference.” Asake, in a statement, yesterday, described the ...

So it has been confirmed, Jude Okoye, elder brother of the dynamic duo P-Square wasn’t present for his brother’s wedding. A source spoke with P-Square’s publicist Bayo Adetu and he confirmed that Jude Okoye was not at Peter and Lola’s wedding yesterday. The gist is that Jude Okoye and some members of P-Square’s band were stuck in Ghana after their Saturday night show. What’s weird is that Peter and Paul also at that show and were able to make the trip back on Sunday morning but not Jude.

Microsoft launches office for ipad

Microsoft has released an iPad version of its popular Office software suite. This breakthrough heralds a new era under new CEO Satya Nadella who promises to focus more on the devices that people are using instead of trying to protect the company’s lucrative Windows franchise. Thursday’s unveiling of the much- anticipated iPad apps for Microsoft’s bundle of word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software comes nearly four years after Apple Inc. released the tablet computer that has contributed to a steady decline in sales of desktop and laptop machines running on the Windows operating system. The Office app is free to anyone who wants to read Office’s Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents on the iPad, but it will require a subscription to Microsoft’s Office 365 to create and edit on the device. The Office 365 subscription costs A$119 annually, but comes with a limited number of devices the software can be used on. The Office 3...
