Unemployment and underemployment are two big issues today in Nigeria. Unemployment is currently on the rise at 14.2% and underemployment at 21%. Underlining this reality is the poor quality of graduates, the country produce year on year rendering them unemployable. In other words, Nigeria graduates lack certain requisite skills needed for sustainable employment.

He added that the organization is set to encourage students entrepreneurs and leaders who are shaping their world's.

Five Reasons To Attend Forex Mastery Class Today

It's no news anymore that Forex Trading Mastery Class would hold on Obafemi Awolowo University campus, Ile-Ife, today. But I must tell you, there are hundreds of reasons not to miss this opportunity class and I just pen down 5 generic reasons for you. See below :

1. Opportunity
As you know opportunity comes but ones, Forex Traders really don't teach people about the trade and if at all they would teach you, it won't be free. I urge you to grab this opportunity ones and for all.

2.Empowerment
I hate when young minds cry of no job, when in the real sense they can create hundreds of jobs for themselves in a day. This masterclass is not a 'talk talk' but practical class that's set to empower only interested participants alone.

3.Financial Independence
Have you wondered why some of your friends keep getting dope all the time, without doing 'yahoo yahoo'? Or how some of them tell you "the last time I collected money from my parent is so so so and so year". With Forex Trading, you would be financially independent of your family, like you start sending them money self...

4. Mentorship
Everyone needs a mentor, even mentor needs mentor. That's the road to success. There would be 2weeks close Mentorship class on Forex Trading after November 18th, where participants would be set up on Forex platforms.

5. Goody Packs
Personally, I hate to attend totally boring class like CHM 101 or MTH 202. So I can assure you of successful exit from this Forex Trading Mastery Class with goodie bags, which includes e-certificate, pen and paper and MacForex Ukraine shirts.

Zimbabwean Peaceful Transition, Buhari Reacts

By John Beloved


Zimbabwe stands in a tense and uncertain situation following the military Control of the country.

93 year old Robert Mugabe, the president of Zimbabwe since the country gained independence from the white minority in 1980 triggered the unpleasant situation by firing his vice president Emerson Mnangagwa and presuming 52 year old Mugabe grace, his wife as his successor.

The presumption of Grace Mugabe as his successor was opposed by senior military officers as Constantino Chiwenga, the Head of Armed Forces had earlier threatened to intervene in politics if Mugabe did not stop removing veteran from government. Obviously he had kept to his words as the actions were taken today.

Cars and troops were seen blocking the road on outside the Parliament on the street of harare, the capital of Zimbabwe on Wednesday 5th November 2017. Robert Mugabe has been removed from power and his Ex vice president Mnangagwa has been installed as an interim president through a bloodless transition of power as it was called.

“We are only targeting criminals around him (Mugabe) who are committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order to bring them to justice,” Major General SB Moyo, Chief of Staff Logistics, said on television.
“As soon as we have accomplished our mission, we expect that the situation will return to normalcy
United Nations secretary-general Antonio Gutierrez, the African Union and Western countries and called for calm.

Residents of the country quietly continues with their daily activities quietly as some of them seems to be intrigued by the situation. "I don’t support the army but I am happy to see Mugabe gone, maybe this country can start to develop again,” said Rumbi Katepfu, preparing to shut her mobile phone shop early in downtown Harare. “I did not think this would ever happen... We used to think Mugabe and Grace were invincible"

President Buhari responding to this issues seeks for peace in Zimbabwe,
He called for calm, peace and respect for the constitution in a statement released by his media aide Femi Adesina.


According to him “every attempt must be made to resolve all contentious issues by constitutional means in Zimbabwe to save the country from avoidable political instability.”

The safety of Mugabe and his wife Grace was guaranteed by South African President who had spoken to him stating that they were confined in their house.

However there is a probability that this might be the end of Mugabe's rule in Zimbabwe as he is allegedly now preparing to step down few hours after the Zimbabwean military take over.

The book was partly authored by Afolabi Taiwo, Ogunjobi Ayobami and an unknown student who pleaded anonymity due to political reasons.

Speaking at the event on the rationale behind the book, Omolere Maxie stated that the book is a one sided story of the Nigerian University Nursing Students' Association, OAU
Chapter campaign and elections which he was a runner up for the post of the President for 2016/2017 session.

Tobiee asserted that the book was based on his own narration. According to him, winning an election is primarily because people believe in you.

Present at the event were members of the Lady of Perpetual Light Catholic church, Ile-Ife, executives of NUNSA, OAU Chapter, some student leaders in the university, friends and family of the Omolere Maxie who all launched the book.
