Court Dismisses Suit to Abolish NYSC

Youth Corps members

By Davidson Iriekpen

Justice Jonathan Shakarho of the Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan has dismissed the suit filed by an Ibadan-based legal practitioner, Oluwole Aluko, seeking to invalidate the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.

Following the killings of some corps members in some parts of the North in the aftermath of the presidential election held last April, Aluko had on May 6 rushed to court with a suit against the President and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice for the scheme to be scrapped.

He claimed that the NYSC Decree (now Act) amounts to servitude and forced labour and was therefore inconsistent with the 1999 Constitution. The plaintiff further argued that the NYSC Act was inferior to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights, and ought to be abolished.

But delivering judgment, Justice Shakarho said the suit failed to comply with the NYSC Act, which requires anyone who is aggrieved by the scheme or anything done under it to first appeal to the Presidency before any action can be commenced in any court of law in the country.

Make her orgasm

YOU may have heard that there are several types of orgasm – the clitoral, vaginal and blended. Sexologists have submitted that an orgasm is an orgasm, irrespective of what part of the woman’s body or genitals is being stimulated. I am inclined to go along with them. There is, however, the need not to relegate the clitoral, vaginal and blended (the combination of the aforementioned two) orgasms to be background, as, these two areas of a woman's genital that can lead to the most satisfying female orgasm.

Graves for the living at cemeteries

I was damned moody on my way to one of the popular cemeteries in Ibadan, to book a space for the late mother-in-law of the general manager of a foremost poultry farms in Oyo State, Ajanla Farms, recently.

But, the scenario at the cemetery enlivened my mood; impregnated me with laughter, which I could not deliver anyway.

While the cemetery attendant was giving us  the prices and various offers available at the cemetery, I suddenly noticed a regally and well-decorated tomb, which said something good about the financial status of the dead or his family. “Whao! They had just buried the dead. In spite of his wealth, he died. What a life, where we live to die! May his soul rest in peace,” I reacted.

THE RICH AND THE FAMOUS: Old Money vs New Money

There are many families in Nigeria that qualify as “Old Money”. They are “Old Money” simply because the wealth of the families has lasted more than one generation. The term typically describes a class of the super-rich, who have been able to maintain their wealth across multiple generations.

In some societies like that found in Europe and America, you could find a family sustaining a social class and wealth status over centuries. The Du Point family fortune is reputed to have begun around 1800s.

Oba Dapo Tejuosho (Old)

The Vanderbilt family made their fortune in the railroad industry and they have remained a prominent wealthy family in the United States for well over 200 years.

While it is hard to trace any family riches as old as 200 years down the line some families in Nigeria qualify as Old Money because their wealth have passed from one generation to the next and going on through to the third generation, growing bigger or just remaining pretty much the same while others have been slipping down the line but still respectable enough to be reckoned with.
