TRENDING NOW: ALL CORPS MEMBERS GOING TO KADUNA SLAUGHTERED ON THEIR WAY

Management of the National Youth Service Corps hereby debunks the fake story with the above headline making the rounds in the social media.

Management wishes to emphatically state that no Prospective Corps Members were slaughtered on their way to NYSC Orientation Camp, Kaduna State as reported.

Indeed, the Nation lost five Prospective Corps Members travelling to the Orientation camps in a ghastly motor accident on Abuja/Kwali Road last Wednesday, at about 2:00am in the morning.

The remains of the national heroes and heroine were flown to their respective home States yesterday, preparatory for burial. The unfortunate incident is a great loss to their families and the Nation. May their souls rest in peace.

Regrettably, some people have twisted the sad story of the autocrash, by making allusion that the Prospective Corps Members were slaughtered.

The purpose of this ungodly act is to cause panic and disaffection among the citizenry, which is highly mischievous and leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

The general public is hereby advised to disregard the story as the said incident never happened, but a figment of the writer’s imagination.

Management wishes to implore the purveyors of this fake news and others to have a rethink.

It behoves us to work individually, collectively and in concert to build a great Nation that we shall all be proud to bequeath posterity. This cannot be achieved by wilful spread of fake news.

The Scheme on its part shall continue to be alive to its responsibilities not only to Corps Members, but the entire citizenry as well.

I have never met him before, never spoken to him before but I reached out to him and after a while, he called me and I said, I appeal to you by the mercies of God, two wrongs cannot make a right, you have proved your point, let us find alternative solution so that there would be no bloodbath. “He promised to come and see me in Lagos and I had made preparations for him to come but unfortunately, his father took ill and he had to take him to the hospital. “I followed also to ensure I prayed for the father. I told him, I am not saying you are right or you are wrong, that is not the issue but please, if you carry out this threat, it would lead to something bigger than you and you do not want t...

The Brief History of Sunday Igboho

The Brief History of Igboho Igboho occupies a key place in the history of the old Oyo Empire. Whilst Oyo is an integral part in the history of Yoruba, Igboho’s contribution to the sustainability of Oyo Empire can neither be erased nor expunged. The origin of Igboho started with the migration of Gbage from Ilesha. There was a chieftaincy tussle then, where the younger brother of Gbage was installed as the Owa. The (aggrieved elder) brother left the kingdom to give peace a chance. That senior brother that left the palace of Owa was called Gbage Olabinukuro and founded his own village called Ebiti. All his supporters, including hunters, followed him to this new abode. At that period in Yoruba history, there was Fulani invasion of old Oyo Empire. Alaafin Ofinran and his people were forced to vacate their home. When Alaafin got to Ebiti, he met Gbage who had migrated from Ilesha. Alaafin Ofinran saw that Gbage was a powerful man who had a lot of charms and was very formidable in the act of ...
