Today’s Question: Do you agree with Buhari for rejecting Peace Corps Bill???

 

President Muhammadu Buhari has withheld his assent on the Peace Corps of Nigeria establishment bill recently passed by the National assembly – saying the organisation is a duplication of existing security agencies.

The President says aside duplication of duties, the financial implication is enormous. Many Nigerians are on Buhari’s side on this one, as they say it is truly

Do you agree with Mr President???

  1. How can you fight insecurity without tackling unemployment?how can fund hinder the extablishment of an organisation whose cor mandate is to engage the jobless youths and also combat crime? But the federal government have a nough money to extablish cattle colonies all over the federation to graze cow.what an irony.

  3. Please my Senators do what ever it takes to assent peace corps bill. It will really reduced unemployment in our country, no company no jobs. The aim that we voted President Buhari in to this Office it because of the APC manifestos what are they done for the youth. No Assent for NPC. No 2019 for APC.

  4. No,i disagree with his decision of not signing peace corps bill.If mr President can recall his campaing promises,he promise to create job to d youth.So pls go ahead and do d best in order to reduce unemployment in d country.TRUELLY we need securities in our school,bcos student are afred of going to school due to d abduction of student by BOKO HARAM.NASS consider lives of leaders of 2morro.Thanks God bless u all.

  5. No i disagree with Mr president. If security of institution of learning which is part of the mandate of peace corp is a duplication of duty, where were doz security team when girls where abducted frm deir skuls in chibok and dapchi, where are dey now as cultism destroys our skuls, where are dey where dere was lost of lives and destruction of properties in skuls over SUG election like we’ve seen recently. All dos money spent on paying off bokoharam in negotiation wud hav been avoided had d Govt. done d needful. All doz recovered stolen funds, even a fraction of it can b use to fund peace corp which is a lasting legacy 4 youth empowerment instead of programs like Npower which wud be ineffective as soon as anoda Govt. Comes to power and choose not to fund it. We have millions of unemployed youths, some can be employed rendering patriotic service like peace corp, yle some can be employed in oda areas.

  6. it means that Mr president have nothing for the youths of the country. I am highly disappointed I don’t think Mr president will not sign the bill, what I want them to know is that AN ANGRY MAN IS AN HUNGRY MAN.

  7. I hate police IG. For life, peace corps rejection is architech of his hand work. We the youth of this country got the power as we will unanimously backout this govt. Unless the president have a re-think towards his stance on peace corps bill b/4 2019, up great Nigerian youth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

  8. our able senators, the distinguish national assembly members of good heart, our heart is always fill with gratitude for your deep concern on the welfare of Nigerian youth. More greez to your elbow. Please dont be weary in your well doing fight the battle to the finish, overide the president to assent the peace corps bill, we need it,we are determind, we are committed, we are ready to make peace gloom in in this country, please make mr president to give peace a chance, thank you (sen./Nass.)

  9. They is money there! we should not only spend billions and trillion on arms and amunition, but a life time project like peace corps to restore this nations diginity peace and harmony from grassroot level to the top, you can see that it cut accross all states of the federation. from the look of things the recruited official of the organisation are in high spirit for the joy, so from all this findings i urge the two chambers of the house to abolutely override the president for the peace corps bill and at the right time.

  10. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR A WISE WE NEED PEACE CORPS IN NIGERIA senators, national assembly member go ahead do anything possible to make peace corps survive in nigeria and take all the glory for this noble course and that glory is stamped in the record book of this country under ur watch. (our law makers respect!!!)

  11. “Our distinguish sen’s/rep’s”.i urged your’s able oppotunities to permit me to expressed my deseir,the youth’s are the major mirrow of nation beauty.i want you all to use your democratic right to veto mr president to assent peacecorps bill for the sake of the upcoming offprings.

  12. Please I disagreed with what Mr President did, because the love of our great Nigerian”s youth is not in his agenda. And for a nation like ours to grow we need to empower and develops the youth. Pls sir there is still enough time for you to change your dicission for you to take the glory of your good doing. We need Peace corps kindly assent into ti.

  13. I disagreed with Mr. President, we do not need fighter jets nor weapons importation but, all we need is a seed of peace to be planted all over the country. Mr president, (u) need peace in your life and we as Nigerians need peace in our life.

  14. Youth are the future of the nation, it sound so menancy for the president to say there is no funds to cater for his future, but it can cater for animals. My distinguish senator and house of assembly help the youth( The future of Great Nigeria) to get to the top and they will not forget ur goodwork

  15. no i disagree wit buhari! There is no money to fund peace corp but dere is money for cattle colonies, there is money to recieve double salary as minister of petroluem and president of nigeria, there is money to treat himself and son abroad when it wud hav been quite cheaper in nigeria, dere’s money to pay 1st class ticket of a whoopin 125000 pounds frm london to nigeria for yusuf wen 1st class in british airways for d same route is 2000 pounds. God help us frm dis religious fanatic called buhari. I see y obasanjo called him nepotic and clannish bcos i believe dat if it was a fulani man dat was national commandant of peace corp, he wud hav signed it wit out hesitation jus like he was willign to fund cattle colony.

  16. all d youth were praying 4 d president when he was in london 4 treatment bcos we love u. but see what d payback to d youth. l know that our president wil change his mind to sign peace corps bill into law very soon.

  17. I believe Mr president will have a re-think on this issue bcos this is greatest and d most popular bill passed by d 8 assembly whc solely concerns Nigerian youths. And he shld remember his campaign promises 4 d youth.

  19. Buhari should sign peace corps bill into law.
    I support peace corps establishment.
    If Buhari fails to sign , National assembly should takes the glory and overide Buhari.
    Signing peace corps bill will promote the image of APC and a legacy for Buhari.
    The benefit of peace corps cannot be overemphasised.
    On peace we stands
    .

  20. No i disagree with him. Because from the issue of dis cattle colony, it has become obvious dat if peace corp’s role was to protect cattles, buhari wud have signed it sharp! sharp!. Because from the killings experience in this his administration, it seems as if the lives of cattles is more important than human lives.

  21. I completely disagree with pmb, it is a shame that a man such as buhari would kick against the peace corp of nigeria, an establishment that it’s core mandate is youth empowerment. I wonder what the youths of this country ever did to him to deserve such maltreatment

  22. mr president, we the nigerian youth love you from the unset, due to your change style of leadership, we pray for your quick recovery day and night while on sick bed at london hospital, and now God hear our prayer, you are now strong, why do you suddenly back us the youth out. Peace corps bill is our bill, please have a re-think on your earlier stance, sign the peace corps bill, save us,save our lives, our hope and life is almost ruine at the pronouncement of your rejection last time. through signing of this bill, the youths are determine assist your administration to achieve it desired goal on the part of security and inteligence. thank you.

  23. I must say, that overriding of President Buhari on peace corps bill by the National assembly is going to the best news that will ever come in Nigeria in the last three years, because their coming into existence will drastically reduce the insecurity in country especially schools.

  24. Mr President should stop taking advice from people like inspector general of police and go head to assent the Peace Corps bill if he to come back for 2019 or nass/sen will do that on his behalf

  27. I thought president Buhari will jump at peace corps bill and sign into law within one month. If he fails to sign peace corps bill, this will be the greatest and painful mistake in his life. this is the best project in the history of APC.president Buhari should not be misadviced or misled.
    My able national assembly we believe what you can do, please justify your legislative power and your love for nigerian youths to overide or vetoe buhari and establish nigerian peace corps. Both local and international bodies are waiting for this great thing to happen.My abale national assembly, this will also promote your chances in the next legislative elections. By doing this you have already won 80% of your constituent elections.
    We need peace corps , our youths are jobless on the streets, we need peace corps.
    sign peace corps—- sign peace corps—- sign peace corps— sign peace corps.
