Lol

Even if they dont back him, I trust the General. NNPC must be cleansed from corruption.

That is why they are adjudged the best. Thumbs up Channels TV.

AIT and NTA, please learn!

I believe you Sir.......less talk, less promises, more action! At least you're not like those that promised to build 4 refineries and we saw nothing, promised to end insurgency in 6 months but failed, claimed to know the whereabout of the Chibok girls yet cant rescue them, and even promised to complete the second Niger bridge before 2015.

Your performance will speak for you dear General.

Good riddance.....

Alisha4U:
[b]The only Bigots I see in this whole matter are the Yorubas! Your Oba threatened, swearing to his Allah that he would throw the Igbos into the lagoon if they should vote for Agbaja and instead of unequivocally condemning him, you are condemning the Igbos for blowing it out of proportion! Is there a proportion for the threat of genocide by a ruler with millions of followers who would be ready to do his biddings?

I've never heard any Yoruba person (Beside some political statements) condemn this great threat unequivocally! Instead, you Yorubas are all united against the Igbos on this singular account of your Oba's rascally statement, nothing more. Your are united against the threatened Igbos for crying out loud, on the account that they are crying too loud or 'blowing the whole thing out of proportion'!

What a shame! Even your educated elites are infested with this bigotry.

Observing from the side, not being neither Yoruba nor Igbo, I fear for nest generation. Being particularly a minority from the centre of Nigeria, I feel helpless and I fear for my progenies in this country of madman. I weep.

What a shame![/b]

next you mean? Now what side are you? Are you speaking for the ibo or your 'minority' from the center of Nigeria? U're pretty

TheMaleBoss:

Really? What's the problem? Cuz I'm really interested

Really messed up.......thats all I can say!

seankafor:
yoruba fools

Ibo cockroaches

Transition things!

Ajimobi ni o........APC ni oooooo.........Aji se bi Oyo laari.......the pace setter

xlnc2324:
It is no doubt history is gonna definitely repeat itself, not in USA, but our beloved country, NIGERIA.

clemz88:
Mtcheew. Unrealistic.

Someone like you will be among those who will rush to obtain the form when it is finally announced. I know your type.

This is what the recruitment application form will look like.

Guess some of you have seen it already.

THE FACTS

The Nigerian Traffic Warden Service existed since 1975 with a structural code name: the Nigeria Traffic Warden Service (TWS) Decree (Act) of 1975. This was also incorporated into Sections 59 to 69 of the Nigeria Police Force Act of 2004 (NPF Ordinance of 1930).

By the provisions of these obnoxious legal creations, the TWS was created and put under the midwifery of the Nigeria Police Force. The TWS was created for the purpose of ensuring safety of persons and properties on all Nigerian roads and strict compliance to road use and safety rules by all Nigerian road users. Those wishing to join the TWS must possess same academic, mental and physical qualifications and qualities with those wishing to join the Nigeria Police Force. Both of them also undergo same field training and spend almost same number of period before being commissioned as officers of the NPF.

Sadly, when it comes to ranking, promotion, remuneration and manning of duty posts or offices; deep discrimination and discrepancies occur. By virtue of the provisions of the TWS Decree (Act) of 1975 and Sections 59 to 69 of the Nigeria Police Act of 2004, the highest rank to be attained by a member of the TWS is called Senior Traffic Warden (STW), which is equivalent to the rank of Inspector in the Nigeria Police Force. The major ranking grades available and traditionalized in the Nigeria Police Force are: constable, corporal (first & second), sergeant, inspector (confirmed & unconfirmed), assistant superintendent (confirmed & unconfirmed), deputy superintendent, superintendent, chief superintendent, assistant commissioner of police, deputy commissioner of police, commissioner of police, assistant inspector general of police, deputy inspector general of police and inspector general of police. This means that there are fourteen major ranking grades in the Nigeria Police Force; whereas only four ranking grades exist in the TWS.

Administratively, there is age-long promotion stagnancy policy against members of the TWS whereby their promotions from one rank to the other are delayed up to five years and above. Key officers of the TWS are also denied office and departmental duties. For instance, key members or officers of the TWS are not allowed by the leadership of the NPF to take charge and full responsibility of the TWS designated duties and offices like Divisional Traffic Officer or Office usually located in every divisional police station; whereas in the same station, divisional crime officer or office is manned by officers from the NPF Criminal Investigation Department. Another discriminatory practice exists whereby a deputy superintendent of traffic (DST) or a senior traffic warden (STW) is made to take orders from a police sergeant or corporal. Deep discrimination and discrepancy exist too in handling the affairs of members of the TWS whereby while personnel of the NPF receive salaries and emoluments much fatter than members of the TWS who share equivalent ranks with their NPF counterparts.

It is in view of these that several attempts were made by concerned and courageous members of the TWS to address the age-long structural and administrative anomalies leading to several court actions in the past. During the Obasanjo’s presidency, a presidential proclamation was issued creating two extra ranking grades of assistant superintendent of traffic (AST) and deputy superintendent of traffic (DST), which are equivalent of the NPF’s assistant and deputy superintendents of the police (ASP & DSP).

These un-healed wounds were re-opened in 2011 after the NPF Headquarters’ terrorist bomb blasts that killed scores of people including a gallant officer of the TWS who was on duty. In firm solidarity with their slain colleague, some courageous officers of the TWS read a funeral oration at the funeral of their colleague where they appealed to the NPF top leadership to use the tragic death of their colleague to redress the age-long discriminatory practices complained of. The authorities of the NPF reacted furiously and dictatorially by hounding the affected officers including STWs Samuel Uwakwe, Emmanuel Mlanga and Adamu Dogari into the NPF cell at the Force Headquarters. They were further meted with orderly room trials and handed down sundry harsh punishments including dismissal from the NPF.

In 2011, Hon Afam Victor Ogene representing the Ogbaru Federal Constituency sponsored a private bill seeking to repeal the TWS Act (Decree) of 1975 and creating an independent Nigeria Traffic Warden Service. Along with the help of a CSO - International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law.

THE UNCERTAINTIES

1. According to a recent article about the TWS wanting to employ 1.4million Nigerians.........if they are to use the standard CONPASS, how do they intend to pay these 1.4million people? NSCDC, NIS, NPS, NFS and FRSC do not have a combined staff strength of up to 200,000. How then, can only the TWS employ 1.4million. If you ask me, it sounds like an over-exaggeration.

2. Since there is an act backing the establishment of an independent Traffic Warden Service (TWS) and recognized by the President of Nigeria, what is the need and role of the NGO helping with the set-up of the service?

EXTRAS

1. The Transitional Management Committee may soon announce for recruitment on the dailies. I will advise those who are being skeptical to grab this opportunity. Even top politicians have started sending their lists and some people are already certain of entering into the TWS.

Best of Luck!!!!

I summarized a lot.......if you still find it hard to read through, I can't help you.

Please, I am not a staff of TMC or TWS, therefore no one should send a PM, I wont reply. All questions should be directed here and I'll answer them accordingly.
