A journey back home as an Ex corps member. She was given #1,800 to travel back home.
How else can she go home if not with a borrowed bicycle?
A journey of 12hours on bus, I wonder how many hours it is going to be on a bicycle..

When Alawee is finally increased. 😁

Here is the full gist below.

Dear NYSC Corps Members, when Federal Government will start paying the new Alawee (₦33,000 or more), shouldn't bother you, do you know why???

Because, anytime they start paying, you'll still receive the complete money.

For instance, if Federal Government decides to start paying the new Alawee from June 2019, you'll receive the full money starting from April, when the President assented to the bill.

For example, ₦33,000 - ₦19,800 which is equals to ₦13,200 x 3 months (April, May and June), which is equals to ₦39,600.

You'll be eligible to receive ₦39,600 in arrears.

2018 Batch B stream 1 and 2 shouldn't worry about whether they will be paid or not, because they're covered even if they pass out from the scheme, before the commencement of the payment of the new allowance.

You might be asking yourself how did Comrade know all these things, you shouldn't worry because during Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan administration in 2011, he signed the Minimum Wage Repeal and Re-Enactment Act, 2011 on 16th March 2011, thus changing the salary of workers from ₦7,500 to ₦18,000 and subsequently changing the NYSC Alawee from ₦9,775 to ₦19,800.

But, after signing the bill into law in 2011, the Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan regime didn't start paying the new allowance to NYSC Corps Members immediately, they waited till July 2011 before they started paying it.

Therefore, the 2010 Batch B Corps members that passed out on Thursday, 16th June 2011, were paid in arrears for complete 4 months, beginning from March, April, May and June 2011.

They received a total of ₦40,100 in arrears.

Nevertheless, we're all hoping that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration should start paying the new Alawee from this month of April 2019.

How do you respond to negative situations?

Do you face it or you just pretend it never happened? For us who live here in Nigeria, the stress and the hardship in the country is reason enough to get us really upset. However, if you go with the flow of things in the country, you might end up angry and unfulfilled. So instead of focusing on the bad attitudes we come across daily, like the rude tone someone addressed you with or the absence of some key resources you might need to fulfill your life's mission, you can focus on what you already possess, your good inner qualities. If you are having problems locating these good inner qualities of yours, permit me to mention a few of them to you.

1. You are alive, and as long as there is life, there is hope. So, you can make choices that will turn things around for you.

2. You have talents. Everyone is gifted at something. I'm sure you have heard that a million times. Find out what you are gifted at and start to develop it. For instance, you might be good at helping people analyze their thoughts and properly structure them with words. Have conversations with like minds and engage materials that will help broaden your mind in that line. Assuming that in addition to your gift, you are passionate about managing people's ideas and nurturing them. You can take a course in business administration or management. That's just an example. There are several relevant training out there for you to engage in. The idea is that you should not just sit around and wait for opportunities to fall on your laps. You must put yourself in the position to recognize them and then start something. No more excuses!

3. You have friends. Any wise person will tell you the value of quality relationships. If you do not have friends that encourage you to grow and contribute in some way to help you achieve the vision you have, then you must start to look for such friends. The best way to attract such a friend is to become that kind of friend. Take out the time and get to know yourself - your strengths and weakness. Find out how you can improve your strengths and learn how to be a friend to others. Most people say you don't need anybody to help you get to where you need to be, you only need God. While that is true, I believe that God knew what he was doing when he didn't put only you in this world.

Quality relationships will open doors of opportunity for you in lesser time than you can achieve on your own. Fast forward 3 years from now, imagine if you need to get to somewhere in time but your flight is delayed and you have a friend who owns a private jet, it'd be easier to call that friend up and request for help because there is already an existing relationship. It'd even be much easier if you have been that kind of friend to that person or other people. Bottom line is that you must learn to treat others well if you want to be treated well. Learn to love others and show it in your actions.

This post is already becoming too long but I want to believe that we are all focused on growing every day and learn to become better versions of ourselves. The version of yourself you cultivate and show to the world, will either make you or mar you. Let's choose wisely while we are still young so we don't go looking back in regret.

Thank you!

INSTAGRAM was created in 2010. And according to a Pew Research Center Survey this year, "51 per cent of US teens ages 13 to 17 use Facebook, compared with 72 per cent for instagram and 69 per cent are on snap chat".

SO, WHICH OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS DO YOU PREFER AND WHY????

NOTE: We would be reading out comments on the AJUWAYA show on Family Love Fm97.7 Port Harcourt on Saturday by 4pm.

ALWAYS STAY TUNED AND DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL, KEEP IT LOCKED!!!!

How would you say service year has been for you?

If you're just getting started and by that I mean you're a 2018 Batch B Stream 1 Corp Member or even a 2018 Batch A Corp Member, you're welcome on board. But don't get too comfortable just yet.

I want to shake a particular table this morning with this question: Where do you see yourself 5 years from today and what steps are you already taking towards achieving that goal? I'll tell you the truth, most of us - corp members come to serve without a plan. We just use the one year to “merry up” take and post pictures online and at the end, we join the bandwagon of people who say there are no jobs.

Sometimes, it's good not to know where you are headed at first but if you remain ignorant about your destination then life will hit you with nasty surprises you did not plan for. It's important for everyone to understand that NYSC is not a waste of time. It's an opportunity to grow. In the midst of CDS meetings and PPA matters, you can still develop yourself personally.

One of the numerous mistakes we make during service year is that we choose to go for the money first rather than the training. Skill Acquisition Programs are quite cheap for corp members compared to obtaining them elsewhere at the standard prices. Why not take advantage of it and learn a skill or.improve on one you already have?

Certifications as well seem to be a good CV booster. Why don't you seize the
opportunity and get certified in relevant areas? See, people say there are no jobs in Nigeria but that doesn't have to be your testimony. You can make your life better than it already is and better than you want it to be.
King Solomon, a wise man, once said that Careful Planning puts you ahead in the long run. If you really want to be successful the right way and not by extortion [yahoo yahoo and the like], then you'd do yourself a huge favor by taking some time off from all the fun and write out what you believe you were created to do here on earth and how you want to achieve it.

I believe everyone of us can make it. We don't have to recycle jobs, doing the same things our parents did. Rather, we can create solutions to existing problems, thus creating more employment and acquiring wealth as well. I will end by saying that a man or woman with a solution will always be relevant and never broke. You just need to know how to brand and sell your product/service to your
target market.
This post is already getting too lengthy so let's end it here. We'll continue this gist later. Till then, please learn a skill. Seize the moment! Make it count.
