August 12, 2024 No Official Order to Implement ₦70,000 Minimum Wage for Corps Members – NYSC

No Official Order to Implement ₦70,000 Minimum Wage for Corps Members – NYSC

The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has refuted the circulating reports claiming that corps members will be paid a ₦70,000 minimum wage. In a statement signed by Eddy Megwa, the Director of Information and Public Relations, the NYSC clarified that no directive has been received from the relevant government authorities to increase the corps members' allowance.

The statement urged corps members, their parents, and the public to disregard such misleading information, emphasizing that corps members are well aware of the official communication channels within the scheme. The NYSC also warned against falling prey to mischief-makers intent on spreading false information.

In 2020, the NYSC raised the allowance for corps members from ₦19,800 to ₦33,000 following the signing of a new minimum wage bill of ₦30,000. Recently, President Bola Tinubu signed a new minimum wage bill into law, raising the National Minimum Wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000. The NYSC, however, stressed that this development has not yet translated into an increase in the corps members' allowances.

The statement highlighted President Tinubu’s commitment to fulfilling his campaign promise of a living wage for Nigerian workers, underscoring the government's focus on people-centric governance.

June 25, 2024 Yul Edochie Claims People Are Threatening Judy and Our Children

Yul Edochie Claims People Are Threatening Judy and Our Children

Controversial Nollywood actor and pastor, Yul Edochie, has alleged a plot by certain individuals to kill his second wife, Judy Austin, and harm their two children. In November 2021, Judy welcomed a son named Star Munachimso with Yul, and on April 21, 2022, the actor publicly introduced her as his second wife.

Before this, Yul married May for over 17 years, a union that produced four children: a girl and three boys. Unhappy with the new marriage, May disclosed that her husband paid Judy’s bride price on April 24, 2022, without informing her. She subsequently filed for divorce in August 2023, though details of the court proceedings have been kept private.

After going public with his marriage to Judy, Yul faced backlash on social media, gaining both critics and sympathizers. He and Judy have since become targets of internet jokes, particularly on Facebook, where they host live videos and a mini-reality show about their personal lives.

However, these activities have also earned them some die-hard enemies. In a recent social media post, Yul claimed that those behind the plot created social media platforms to bully his fans, friends, and business associates. He stated that the group, operating on WhatsApp, has been harassing others, posting his home address, and threatening his children and partner.

Yul has reported the matter to the police and is offering a one-million-naira reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible.

May 15, 2024 Aston Villa Clinch Champions League Qualification For The First Time In 41 Years

Aston Villa Clinch Champions League Qualification For The First Time In 41 Years

Following Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, Aston Villa have qualified for the Champions League next season.

Aston Villa now leads fifth-place Tottenham by five points with one game remaining.

It means the team will compete in the Champions League for the first time since 1982-83. Villa last qualified for the competition, which was then known as the European Cup, by winning it in 1982, defeating Bayern Munich in the final.

Villa assured Spurs would need to defeat City on Tuesday to keep the chase for the final Champions League spot alive heading into the season’s final game, after coming from behind 3-1 to draw 3-3 with Liverpool on Monday evening.

Jhon Duran scored in the 85th and 88th minutes to save a point for Unai Emery’s team, leaving Spurs needing maximum points against title contenders City.

Erling Haaland’s two second-half goals secured a 2-0 win for City, keeping their title hopes alive and denying Spurs Champions League football.

Emery became Villa’s head coach in October 2022, replacing Steven Gerrard who had left Villarreal.

Villa were 16th in the Premier League, two places and one point above the relegation zone when Emery took charge. Under the Spanish head coach’s guidance the club ended the season in seventh and secured qualification for the Europa Conference League, ensuring they would play European football for the first time in 13 years.

In his first full season in charge, Emery has led Villa to the Champions League for the first time in 41 years.
