 Wages Commission and other relevant agencies in the system. This is with a view to enthrone a culture of competence, discipline, dedication, increased learning outcomes and better service delivery in the education sector in Nigeria.
However, the Nigerian teachers’ hope of enjoying their new salary structure, increased allowances and other incentives promised by President Buhari would have to wait much longer, as the bureaucracy, lack of political will, and paucity of funds have stalled the implementation of these noble objectives.
And this leaves us to wonder about the integrity of the ruling government and its policy makers. How could a president of a country make promises without having the needed will-power to execute them?
Having integrity means that one lives in accordance with his deepest values, being honest with everyone, and always keeping one’s word. Integrity is a highly valued trait, especially in leadership. When you live with integrity, you are more likely to be considered for important promotions and leadership positions.
The news of the approval as stated earlier was received with cheers and applause as it was hoped to be a start in the journey of rebuilding Nigeria’s education system, which is currently at different levels of rot.
After one year of waiting for implementation, the Federal Government again at the commemoration of the 2021 WTD assured that teachers would begin to enjoy the new incentives effective from January 2022.
The minister of state for education had early this year assured that the Buhari administration was fast-tracking the process of implementation to ensure that by January 2022, teachers should get the remuneration they deserve.
However, as things stand today our findings reveal that no teacher across Nigeria has received any of those benefits and some are already starting to lose hope.
Legislative bureaucracy bottleneck and lack of political will seem to be hindering the process of getting all the laudable issues initiated by the president.
Though the House of Representatives had passed the retirement age for teachers in Nigeria bill in 2021 over six months ago, it only got concurrent approval by the Senate on February 2, 2022. The salary scale is also suffering the same fate as the structure is yet to be gazetted before even being passed into law.
An obvious fact remains that until the bill is ready and transmitted for the president’s assent and passed into law, the promises will only remain promises and nothing concrete can be done.
The welfare of teachers has remained a recurring decimal in the country, and as a result, the system remains unattractive to the best brains.
We call on the president to muscle up his political will-power by calling the legislatures to order and thus ensure that the legislative bureaucracy bottleneck is removed and the promises fulfilled.
Justice delayed is justice denied, an adage opines. Similarly, and by the same token, delaying the fulfilment of these noble promises by the president amounts to denying the supposed beneficiaries their rights. Is it when they are dead and gone that the presidency will address their situation?
A stitch in time, it is believed, saves nine. Therefore, President Buhari must arise now and redeem his promises to Nigerian teachers.
Indeed, posterity will not exonerate him; rather he will be held responsible if at the end of the day the hopes of our long-suffering teachers are dashed once again. We urgently appeal fervently to President Muhammadu Buhari that he should not allow this to happen.

Sometimes flash games makers surprise us by bringing out something that’s just beautiful… and this platformer puzzle game is one of the most beautiful we’ve ever played…
Looks wise, this game is absolutely gorgeous. I’d go as far as saying it’s one of the finest looking flash games I’ve ever played! The music is perfect too, and unlike many flash games (which are often blighted by tinny, annoying sound) you will actually enjoy listening along to Pheus & Mor’s soundtrack.
As for the actual game, it’s all about solving puzzles by moving the two best friends (hit W,A,S, D to move Pheus, hit the arrow keys to move Mor). And just like in a real relationship if one is stuck the other can’t go forward! Although the game itself isn’t quite as flawless to play as it is to look at, the story is full of emotion, really draws you in, and is 100% worth a few minutes of your time.
So sync the two best friends and enjoy this fine game!A GMB member whose exposure to dangerous levels of noise in the workplace many years ago has left him reliant on two hearing aids at the age of 48 has been compensated following help from Thompsons Solicitors.
Neil Dawson from Hull has received £5,750 in damages after suffering occupational deafness.
Unknown to him his hearing became damaged in his first job as a 16-year-old apprentice for Richard Dunston Shipbuilders at the Haven in Hessle, Yorkshire. He trained to be a plater from 1977 to 1981 The yard was noisy but he was never given instruction or advice on the dangers it posed to his hearing.
Years later he was advised to pursue compensation after being examined by an occupational health professional who told him his hearing had been permanently damaged.
He currently has to wear hearing aids in both ears but has been told his hearing will get worse in the future.
He contacted his union, the GMB, which instructed its lawyers Thompsons Solicitors.
Richard Dunston Shipbuilders no longer existed and Thompsons had to track down the firm’s former insurers which admitted liability and settled out of court.
Andy Worth from the GMB said: “Many of our members have been negligently exposed to excessive levels of noise in the workplace by their employers. Sadly even with the knowledge of the long term damage it can cause and the safety equipment available people are being exposed today. We wont let those who ignore health and safety laws or fail to provide the correct safety equipment to get away with it however long ago it happened”.Progressive swallowing difficulties, more so to solids.

The bird-beak sign is used to refer to the tapering of the inferior esophagus in achalasia. This has a smooth outline implying a non-malignant cause. A rat's tail appearance is used interchangeably.I'm Back

I'm Back
Sold my 83 Aspencade so I could buy a BMW K1200LT last July. The Beemer was ok but the bike was top heavy and always felt like it was ready to topple over at slow speeds or when stopped. Sold the Beemer and been without a bike for 2 months. Today an 84 Interstate got dropped in my lap for $600. Needs TLC but rideable. Guess it's a sign.

One of the orders that he signed blocked visas for people trying to enter the country from Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. These countries are Muslim-majority nations, so effectively, this order is a Muslim ban but geographically targeted. The second order that President Trump signed involves beginning the process to build the border wall between Mexico and the U.S.
In addition to these two orders, it has been reported that President Trump may
