#Insights Jude Samuelson, Head of Environment and Climate Change at the Stakeholder Democracy Network, said that Nigeria and China have great potential to cooperate on emissions reduction and ecological restoration. He noted that China's advanced technologies in oil and gas, agriculture, and waste management could help countries like Nigeria reduce methane emissions and accelerate ecosystem recovery. Admiring China for its "determination and action," Samuelson expressed hope that stronger China-Nigeria, China-Brazil, and other collaborations could inspire broader global efforts toward environmental restoration. #COP30 @Cop30noBrasil @UNFCCC
To all the Good People of Rivers State, I send this Quote of Wael Ghonim with solidarity and kindness:

@instablog9ja 😂😂😂 nobody parties in this house, even the owner threads with caution. It’s too much work to always think of footwear and the nightmare of spillage of food and drink. This person has no family or friends welcomed in their home. Kids are definitely banned 😂😂
We keep talking about accountability and I feel like the collective & positive weight of social media is not being fully utilized in Nigeria. Who signed this agreement? Did they read at all? The person, ministry or agency needs to be publicly named & shamed until it is reversed.
"Nigeria, are we serious about letting Europe turn us into its dumping ground? They say it's non-hazardous, if this waste is so harmless, why isn't it staying in Europe? Who exactly did the government consult before agreeing to make Nigeria the EU's junkyard?" - @Gbenga_Aborowa
@InibeheEffiong was kind enough to educate the public on the NYSC Act and Bye laws as legal guidance regarding the female Corp member’s personal video of her core challenges & government’s failure to improve the economy. So many hot takes/bashing online. We are in deep shit😢
Look for the revised edition of the NYSC Bye Laws. You can download the extant Bye Laws on the NYSC website.
What someone posted under the comment section of your post should be from the outdated edition.
You people are defending madness in the name of supporting a terrible regime.
First, corps members are not civil servants or public servants. Section 2 of the NYSC Act states that every eligible Nigerian shall be called-up to serve for a continuous period of one year national service. It is National Service, not federal or civil service.
The NYSC is an agency of the Federal Government, but corps members are not employees of the federal government or staff of the NYSC. Corps members are not employed or recruited into the NYSC.
Second, the Certificate that is issued to corps members on completion of their National Service as prescribed in Section 11 of the NYSC Act is called Certificate of National Service, not certificate of employment. Corps members are not issued employment letters by the Federal or State Governments.
Third, every employee under the law (including the Labour Act, Employees Compensation Act, etc.) is entitled to be paid salary. That is the legal consideration for the services rendered.
Corps members are not paid salaries by the government (Federal and State). They are only paid paltry sums as allowances. Some States do not even pay allowances to corps members.
Fourth, the term employer as used in the NYSC Act is used loosely in relation to the Place of Primary Assignment where the corps member is posted to. Employers under the NYSC Bye Laws are only required to issue Letters of Acceptance to corps members posted to them, not letters of employment.
Fifth, there is nothing in the objectives of the Corps or scheme as enumerated in Section 1 of the NYSC Act that remotely supports the view that corps members are employees in the legal sense.
The NYSC was established by the military as a fallout of the civil war to promote national unity and interrelationship among Nigerians of different ethnic backgrounds.
Sixth, there is no provision in the NYSC Act that subjects corps members to civil service Rules.
Criticizing the President or the government is not an offence under the NYSC Act (See Section 13). It is also not an offence under the NYSC Bye Laws (See Section 4 of the Revised Bye Laws, 2011).
Seventh, I have watched all the videos of this lady that are being debated. There is nothing slightly partisan in her comments.
She merely expressed her justified frustrations with the state of affairs in the country, particularly the impact of the scourging inflation on her and other Nigerians. That is within her constitutional right to freedom of expression as guaranteed by Section 39 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).
I am in contact with the lady, we will ensure that her rights are protected if the need arises.
By the way, I entirely agree with her view that Tinubu is a TERRIBLE President.
I have attached some relevant Section of the NYSC Act on the objectives of the scheme and the provisions of the current Bye Laws relating to offences and penalties.
