Corp Members Should Be Good Ambassadors – Osinbajo

Wife of the Vice President, Dolapo Osinbajo has urged Corps Members to be good Ambassadors of Nigeria.

Mrs Osinbajo gave the advice while addressing the 2017 batch B stream 1 Corp Members yesterday in Abuja. She admonished the Corp members to always stand for their rights and speak up against evil. She added that they will become employers of labour and all their dreams will come to pass as soon as they are done serving their fatherland.

She added, “Nigeria belongs to you all. Speak up when anyone in the professional field goes the wrong way because the bad may eventually get to you or your family members. You are lucky because some of your mates are out there on drugs and wasting away but I am exited you are here today, a proof that the future is bright for the Nigerian youth”.

“You are princes and princesses, your parents made great sacrifices to send you to school, make them proud of you by being good Ambassadors,” she said.

The NYSC FCT Coordinator, Ballama Birmiwa who welcomed the Vice President’s wife, stated that the Abuja 2017 Batch B has a total of 2862 Corp members and lauded the members for their good conduct so far.

He added that the inadequacies in the orientation camp are not deliberate but to prepare for a better tomorrow.

President of Iran Declares End of ISIS

President Hassan Rouhani of Iran on Tuesday declared the end of Islamic State in an address broadcast live on state TV. A senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Maj.-Gen. Qassem Soleimani, also declared the end of Islamic State in a message sent to the country’s supreme leader Tuesday which was published on Sepah News, the news site of the Guards. Videos and pictures of Soleimani, who commands the Quds Force, the branch of the Guards responsible for operations outside of Iran’s borders, at frontline positions in battles against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria have been posted frequently by Iranian media in recent years.

The Revolutionary Guards, Iran’s most powerful military force which also oversees an economic empire worth billions of dollars, has been fighting in support of S...

EPL: Kelechi Iheanacho might be available for sale in January – Leicester City boss, Puel

Leicester City manager, Claude Puel, has hinted at the possibility of selling Nigeria star Kelechi Iheanacho four weeks before the winter transfer market opens for business. The Foxes have six strikers in the first team consisting of Iheanacho, Vardy, Ahmed Musa, Slimani, Okazaki and Ulloa, and the former Man City starlet has found game time hard to come by after making only two starts in the Premier League from a possible fifteen. Speaking to Leicester Mercury, Puel said: “Kelechi had an injury and for the moment, we have competition. “I am happy with Jamie for example. Kelechi or other players cannot play on the side. “It’s difficult for them, but for me also to manage all these players because we have six strikers so there is no place for all the players.” Iheanacho penned a five-year contract with Leicester City in the summer for a fee in the region of 25 million pounds.

Tech How Alibaba turned an obscure, made-up Chinese holiday into a $17.8 billion shopping extravaganza that's bigger than Black Friday

Alibaba raked in over $8 billion in sales in the first hour of its made-up marketing holiday, "Singles Day." Singles Day has its roots in an obscure Chinese holiday for students who had not married yet. Alibaba CEO Jack Ma capitalized expertly on the holiday, and now, Singles Day dwarfs traditional American shopping holidays like Black Friday, and is much larger than Amazon's "Prime Day." Alibaba turned Singles Day, the Chinese holiday for the single-set, into a huge economic opportunity through a savvy marketing blitz. The company raked in well over $8 billion during the first hour of this year's sale, largely through its online shopping platforms, Taobao.com and Tmall.com as well as a glitzy gala. Students at Nanjing University first celebrated Singles Day in 1993 as an appreciation of, you guessed it — being single. They picked November 11 (11/11) as an ode to the loneliness of the number one. But Single’s Day was never meant to be a somber aff...
