After some minutes, i decided to scare the passengers, so i brought out my phone and started faking a call, "Hello oga, i don dey press that button since but the bomb no dey gree bomb. Na the blue one i go press abi na the red one?.'' The passengers started reacting. Igbo man picked up his phone and made a call, ''Hello Nnamdi, run now to Apapa and wait for my containers, is like i will die today but make sure you collect my money from Chukwudi. Yoruba woman shouted, ''Driver, so you no go stop make i come down? Oloriburuku oloshi whe're driver.

I quickly jumped out of the luxurious bus through the window that was near me and ran as fast as my legs could carry me. Me that was just playing.

outh leaders from the opposition All Progressive Congress APC this morning decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, At a ceremony presided over by the National Youth Leader of the PDP Hon Abdullahi Husseini Mai Basira at the National headquarters of the PDP in Abuja, the former APC youth leaders declared their loyalty to the PDP describing the APC as anti Youth and anti Democratic , speaking earlier Usman Austin Okai leader of APC Youth Frontier said ''We considered it dangerous and misleading to remain in such a political party, after political consultation, APC youth frontier decided to defect to PDP and chat for the course of Nigerians youth,”

He said that rather than appoint leaders through “due consultation and democratic best practices, various states leadership were handed over to ‘money bag politicians”.

Mr. Okai also said “the inability of APC to conduct free and fair congresses for itself also shows that the party is far from being an alternative to PDP.”

He said Nigerian youth need political parties that will unite citizens rather than divide them along religious, tribal and geopolitical issues.

“We considered it dangerous and misleading to remain in such a political party, after political consultation, APC youth frontier decided to defect to PDP and chat for the course of Nigerians youth,” he said.

Mr. Okai also called on Nigerian youth to work with Mr. Maibasira to demand that the Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan, makes youth affirmation a priority as is done for women.

“We believe youth as a constituency is integral part of any Nation and (therefore) the Youth deserves a special attention,” he said.

Speaking during the event the National Youth Leader Hon Husseini Mai Basira called On youths to join hands with PDP in ensuring that the country is protected for Upcoming youths. Stressing the importance of the 2015 general election , the youth leader maintained that the elections should not be used as a platform to divide the country but as an avenue to further sustain democracy and the achievements of successful governments since 1999.

While praising the achievements of the party since 1999 he said ''the PDP is the only true national Party whose name, slogan and logo has remained unchanged since its formation,and as the largest party whose membership cuts across the country it has the capacity to accommodate all youth .We also do not want a break in policies that promotes youth development,because in molding today and tomorrows leaders there is that need for the youths to work harder in sensitizing and reawakening political consciousness he said .

BEAUTIFUL : GEJ ALMAJIRI SCHOOL HOSTELS

A hostel in one of 125 Almajiri Schools built by the Jonathan govt to provide education for the poorest Nigerian kids

History will forever remain kind to President Goodluck Jonathan for Introducing the Almajiri  school system. This system of education is the federal government’s way of intervening in the menace of street begging by school-age children,The Universal Basic Education Commission has said the establishment of Tsangaya Model Schools in the northern part of the country by the Federal Government is a deliberate effort to deal with the menace of Almajiri phenomenon in the region.

A statement on Wednesday in Abuja by the Public Relations Officer of UBEC, Mr David Apeh, quoted the Executive Secretary of the commission, Dr. Dikko Suleiman, as saying the establishment of Tsangaya Schools, initially called Almajiri Model Schools, in the North had significantly improved the life style of the children in the North.

According to recent reports, there is over 10.5 million Nigerian school-age children that are out of school, with the large number of these children coming from the North.

A majority of these out-of-school children in the North are the Almajiris, commonly found on the streets and highways, begging for alms and food.

Suleiman, according to Apeh, spoke while inspecting some projects at the Government Girls Junior Secondary School in Shema, Dutsin-ma LGA and Government Girls Junior Secondary School, Dutsin-Safe in Kaita LGA of Katsina State.

The Federal Government, under President Goodluck Jonathan, had established over 125 Almajiri Model Schools in 13 states of the North, constructed by both the Tertiary Education Trust Fund and UBEC.

Suleiman said the Tsangaya Model Schools, among other things, would ensure the integration of the elements of basic education into the Qur’anic school system, where pupils are imparted with knowledge and skills beyond Qur’anic recitation.

He explained further that this would enable them to integrate effectively into the Federal Government’s Universal Basic Education programme.

The UBEC boss commended Jonathan for giving priority to education as encapsulated in his transformation agenda and improved funding for the sector.

The Executive Secretary said the Boy-Child Education was aimed at integrating the out-of-school boys in the South-East and South-South geo- political zone into the UBE programme.

GOOD NEWS

In Sokoto, being the traditional tool of Islam in Nigeria, two Almajiri schools exist, with one built by the governor, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko-led administration at Denge Shuni local government area and the other built by the federal government at Gagi in Sokoto South local government and named Almajiri Model Boarding School. The school according to its principal, Mallam Ubaidullahi Shehu  has a total of 15 staff members, 216 students, 12 classrooms, six blocks of hostels with 12 rooms, and in all having about 20 to 25 students per room.

Zamfara State, which is said to have one of the  highest population of Almajiri, is evidently  enjoying the educational project, as the state has  4,331 students in the school, according to a 2012 report; with teaching staff members numbering over a hundred. According to the desk officer at the state UBEB, Mallam Lawali Balarabe Gurbi, a total of seven Tsangaya schools are present in the state, and four of them are fully completed. He explained that the schools are spread across some local government areas.
