FG’s Bar Of Under 18s from WAEC, NECO Exams: “Assault on Children’s Rights” – National Youth Alliance

Education, News2027, Education, National Youth Alliance, Opinion, Politics

The National Youth Alliance (NYA) is appalled, dismayed, and outraged by the Federal Government's draconian decision to prohibit individuals under the age of 18 from sitting for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the National Examination Council (NECO) Senior Secondary Examination. This egregious policy is a blatant declaration of war against the future generations of Nigeria, callously stifling their potential, and perpetuating a cycle of educational stagnation. This ill-conceived decision is a display of the government's chronic failure to prioritize education, its sheer incompetence in addressing the systemic rot in our educational institutions, and its utter disregard…

News, Opinion, Politics2027, Atiku Abubakar, Opinion, Politics

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the spiritual head of the INRI Evangelical Church, has cautioned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against choosing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its 2027 presidential candidate. In a video statement, Primate Ayodele predicted that selecting Atiku would lead to the party's downfall. "If PDP wants to fail, they should give Atiku the presidency.

PRESS STATEMENT - July 4, 2024 The Southeast Zone of the National Youth Alliance (NYA) is compelled to respond to the recent press briefing by Governor Hope Uzodimma, Chairman of the Southeast Governors Forum, regarding the Southeast region's indifference to the ongoing nationwide protests. We categorically state that the absence of protests in the Southeast is not a result of political influence or maneuvering, but rather a manifestation of the people's detachment from the Nigerian state. Any politician or group claiming credit for this development is either being dishonest or insensitive to the region's challenges. The NYA emphasizes that this…

The Looming Protest: Joe Igbokwe, Bayo Onanuga And The Age Of Unreason.

The two individuals that no longer surprise me at all are Citizens Joe Igbokwe and Bayo Onanuga, however in the present instance I wonder what sycophancy and court-jesting have done to their ability to discern the times and by jove incline their hearts to wisdom, apologies to the Holy Book. Joe Igbokwe in the service of his master decided perhaps without deep research to do the greatest disservice to the present watch. In threatening the Igbo in Lagos and across the Country, Citizen Joe Igbokwe has forgotten that hunger and poverty are indiscriminate of Region, Religion and ethnicity. He has…
