THE BOYS ARE BACK

THE BOYS ARE BACK

CHAPTER 1

          IN THE BEGINNING…….

When agent Joe came back from all his missions, his last, actually he had thought to himself. He went straight to the only place someone who loves family-time would want to go to; HIS FAMILY. When he got to his father’s house, he went close to the cottage and just then he had this weird feeling inside of him just like those instances where we imagine that there’s an angel and a devil arguing on what decision you should make on your left and right shoulders. Joe approached the front door cautiously as if already told that there’s a danger inside waiting for him. When he finally got close enough to the door, it was quiet....’ a lil bit too quiet’ he muttered and just then he heard a ‘creek’ ‘creek’ sound coming from the inside. Joe was frightened and yet confident at the same time he was not sure of what he was going to face in the next second.

            With all confidence and effort he could gather from his moral, he pushed open the door only to find the shock of his life; a lifeless body brutally murdered hanging all slumped up on a see-saw chair as he use to call them when he was little. ‘Dad?’… He called out in surprise and disbelieve, someone had just murdered his dad just before he came in and had fled from the sight of him approaching the cottage!. Joe was confused even though dead bodies was a normal sight due to his career as a secret agent, seeing his father’s lifeless body just sitting or hanging there gave him a quick and deep shiver, he became weak and fragile like a new born baby, the only thing he could see himself doing was looking into the eyes of reality, a deep dark cloud of nothing, of no good. He had always heard the saying; ‘you reap what you sow’... But does that apply to the murder of his dad?..Does his dad have to suffer his own fate as an agent?..He was totally confused. So drunk in his thoughts was he, until the quiet and gentle breeze pushed a letter stained with blood which was  pinned to his father’s chest by a pocket knife. ‘The murderer had left a clue’.. he thought, standing up, he went for the note and read with high disbelieve. On the front page of the letter was the inscription with blood and ink; “THE BOYS ARE BACK”. He moved back in disbelieve and sat on the floor starring back into infinity and thinking about how things had gotten to this stage! His arch nemeses were back on his trail again!

To be continued……

I’ll do anything to protect whistle blowers – Onyeama

Foreign Affairs Minister Geoffrey Onyeama said on Friday that Mr Ntia Thompson, sacked by the Ministry over whistleblowing, would be reinstated if actually his appointment was wrongfully terminated.

Onyeama, who stated this in Abuja while fielding questions from newsmen on the issue, said that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo had directed him to look into the matter.

Thompson, an assistant director with the Directorate for Technical Cooperation in Africa, was sacked for allegedly exposing a fraud in his office.

Thompson was said to have been sacked for allegedly raising an alarm that $229,000 and N800, 000 had been diverted by key officials in DTCA, an agency under Foreign Affairs Ministry.

Onyeama said he had a comprehensive report on that matter and steps would be taken to ensure that justice is done on all the issues that were raised.

“I want to tell Nigerians that whistleblower protection is what we subscribed to wholeheartedly and completely in the ministry and it is government’s position and directive.

“I personally assure you that throughout my tenure, I will do everything possible to protect whistleblower in the ministry.

“Because the agenda of the government is a clear one that will embrace whistleblower,” he said

He said that he was going to look at the report and keep the public informed about the outcome of his findings.

“I can give you a guarantee that damages would be paid and the person would be reinstated.

“And, the measure would be taken on this; as far as this ministry is concern justice would be done,” he pledged.

4 signs JAMB may not be ready for 2017 UTME 
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is gearing up for the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) which is scheduled to hold in May. The registration process this year has been one of the most stressful for candidates who have not stopped complaining. It took some candidates more than three days to do their registration while some others are still finding it hard to register. Some Nigerians are worried about the preparedness of JAMB for this year’s UTME and this is why. 1. Poor network for registration One of the complaints candidates have had about the new registration process introduced by JAMB is slow speed of internet services at CBT centers. Some have been stranded at registration centres as they were unable to generate their Personal Identification Number (PIN) due to poor network.

JAMB Approves New Book “In Dependence” For 2017 UTME

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, have announced a new book for this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Candidates are to note that irrespective of their choice of course of study or method of testing, they will all be tested on a general text, “In Dependence” by Sarah Ladipo Manyika.

The book will be supplied at the point of registration after candidates had obtained the JAMB e-registration PIN (at the cost of N5,000 plus additional N500 for the book).

This year’s reading text was published in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2008, in Nigeria in 2009 and in the United States in 2011. It is Sarah Ladipo Manyika’s first novel.

The novel begins in the early 1960s when Tayo Ajayi meets Vanessa Richardson, the beautiful daughter of an ex-colonial officer.

Their story, which spans three continents and four turbulent decades, is that of a brave but bittersweet love affair. It is the story of individuals struggling to find their place within uncertain political times – a story of passion and idealism, courage and betrayal.

Questions from the novel will appear in the English Language paper during the UTME and it is compulsory for every candidate.

1.7million candidates expected to sit for 2017 JAMB – Oloyede

  The Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has said 1.7 million candidates are expected to sit for 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in April. 

 

He said this on Tuesday in Abeokuta at the sideline of the examination body’s Information and Communication Technology retreat involving civil society groups, students and other major stakeholders.

 

The two -day retreat held within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library complex in Abeokuta. 

 

He said the JAMB also aimed at increasing the capacities of its Computer Based Test Centres in order to make the April examination seamless. 

 

He said , “We are expecting 1.7 million candidates to sit for the UTME this year and we want to make sure we satisfy these candidates within a week or thereabout.

“That is why we are increasing the capacity of the Computer-Based Test Centres to be able to examine more candidates within a given date.”

 

Oloyede who said the body would not promise a hitch-free examination, noted that there were changes and innovations ongoing which would send some illegal operators who had defrauded candidates in the past, out of business.

 

The JAMB boss, however, said the examination body would not be deterred in its mission to serve its candidates better.

He said, “I must be frank with you, I cannot promise a hitch- free examination because we are testing certain things. “We are changing certain things. We want to question the status quo and of course, we expect a fight back by interest that will be trampled upon. “We are going to be as sincere as possible in the direction we are going. We are going to be as flexible as humanly possible. We are not promising hitch free examination. “We envisaged that there will be hitches here and there, but they will not be insurmountable. Rather than promising the nation hitch free examination, we will be promising a direction we will all be pleased with. “Initially there might be hiccups and of course one would not have been appointed if it is routine. I believe that I have been given a very difficult job and that is why I am not promising that all will be smooth.” He argued that that was why JAMB invited stakeholders to critique its processes, because it would not want to continue in the wrong direction. He said, “We are creating some ICT facilities and we want our stakeholders, prospective candidates, respected scholars, institutions, civil societies to come together and critique what we are doing, so that we can be sure, before we go too far in a wrong direction. “This is a view of harvesting good ideas that could improve what we are doing.” He said the CBT had come to stay, as four African countries had indicated interest to come over to Nigeria to understudy it. “Of course, I believed that Nigeria is ripe for this (CBT). Nigeria is more advanced than some of these countries. At least, we have three or four countries that are observing our examination and they want to go the way of the conduct of the examination,”he said. While he said the JAMB would soon commence the sale of its forms for the 2017 UTME, he added that the examination body was also working on the possibility of conducting a mock examination “for some people who just want to try on what we are doing.”

Tired of searching?? why not marry a robot like this Chinese man.

A Chinese engineer has ‘married’ a robot after being fed up after years of searching for a human spouse to no avail.

Zheng Jiajia is a 31-year-old artificial intelligence expert, and built his future ‘wife’ at the end of last year, according to the South China Morning Post. Named Yingying, the bizarre robot can identify Chinese characters and images, and even say a few simple words, and the creator has plans to upgrade the bot so she’ll one day be able to walk and do chores around the house.
