Has it reach the level of being foolish? Okay, thank you for your kind word.

And TGM2015 wants to be Inec chairman with this mentalilty. Inconclusive elections and ballot snatching would be the order of the day. Young man stay calm and learn from the gurus or i will get your application terminated asap. Be guided.

If you believe it is INEC Chairman that causes inconclusive elections and ballot snatching, then I have nothing to discuss with you.

What is the debate on? Which number is NYSC number right? Now write the NYSC in full, National Youth Service Corps Number , which of the number is one service number.

One thing about facts is that no matter the angle you looked at it, you will always arrived at the same conclusion. Here I close my comment of this matter.

A very big Thank you to all who engaged my posts, you are welcome.

emmieachichi:
@tmg2015 I just got dis from nysc portal for does that did not have to serve or get call up number, but exemption cert.

Graduates who have served in the Armed forces (i.e Army, Navy, and Air Force) or the Nigeria Police for a period of more than 9 months are exempted from the National Service. Graduate member staff of security of Security agencies - NSO, SSS, DIA and NIA is also exempted from National service. Each graduate in these categories must photocopy of ID card of their establishment and letter from such military / security establishment confirming that he / she is / was their personnel. of the armed forces desirous for concessional deployment and have served less than Nine months in service are expected to letter of introduction from the command.



what number would you suggest they write for this inec recruitment if they want to apply? Nysc call up number or nysc cert number??Pls endeavor to answer

First, you need to understand different between those who served and those who are exempted in of labour law and employment in Nigeria. Secondly, you need to understand why almost all companies require Discharge Certificates for graduates entry jobs.

Again, my argument is not on which of those numbers applicants are to use, as both will be accepted, but on what each of the number represents. From what someone posted, the NYSC number field has a default value of zero, meaning they knew some applicant may not have NYSC number.

No to your question, those categories of people should leave the default values of zero because they did not have NYSC number but if they wish, they can input their certificate number.

emmieachichi:
Oga TMG2015, both of them are not the same AFTER ur nysc, key word After. Someone just told u, people that are exempted don't have call up letters but nysc number is being used, u re still insisting u re right,, julearth just did, jamb number & matric number examples, u are still insisting. And u want to be inec officer wit dis can mind sight... Inconclusive results will be the least of voters worry if u are in charger of collation. If u are finding it hard to accept this fact,, if u are not clear let me call on the NNPC, airforce and Navy dssc people in the house, pls enlightening our new fresh graduates that know book us lazy Nigerian youth... @Fabem and Dtob help clear TMG2015 doubt pls....

You just confirmed my position. You can not get NYSC number when you are not Ex Corps member. If any organisation asked for NYSC number, they are actually asking for those that have served because only Nigerians that served were given NYSC number. The "A" thing is omitted from exemption certificate but the certificate numbers are on both.

One of the international convention is that information that External parties do not need should not be on the face of any certificate. For example, for Tertiary Institutions' certificate and notification of result. You will discover that matric number is always on notification of result and it will not appear on the certificate. If your callup number is not needed after NYSC, it will never be included on your NYSC discharge certificate.

To be a successful learner, one needs to unlearn and relearn.

tomsonlampard:
Why do we think INEC wrote '0' in the box already? it was a clue to let us know that the nysc number we are supposed to write should start with 0 and its only the number on the top right corner that starts with 0.

eddyroyal:
God bless you.
In addition, I think its not necessary to start with the 'A" because if they wanted us to, they would have started with it already.

Going by your logic, if INEC is given you a clue, the field will have had A instead of 0 and would not have accept number and special characters such as forward slash.
In Web deg and application development, there is what we called default values.

nazablossom:
NYSC Number is the one on your certificate. It shows that you have successfully completed your NYSC hence the certificate. Once you are done with your service call up number and Co aren't necessary again.

Juliearth:

Inec does not need your call up number. It expires after your service year. Organizations ask for the nysc number ( the number starting with A) to ensure that you have truly served and have completed your service year. How do you think they would differentiate ( at this level) those who exempted, those who have not completed their service year and those who are still serving?
If its the call up number that they need, then even those in camp would apply(an act greatly shunned at by employers).... This isnt rocket science and a no brainer.

abdulhamid0:
Bro dont confuse yourself and others, your NYSC number is your cert no. If its call up number what would those who collected exemption write? Nobody needs your callup number other than nysc. Even in nysc portal if you want to the authenticity of your certificate they will ask you for cert no the one that starts with A00 at the top right side of your cert and not your callup number. NYSC no and Cert No are the same thing

Juliearth:

Oga, that is your NYSC call up number and it becomes obsolete after your service year.

Juliearth:

What would INEC need your call up number for? The call up number is just for national service year logistics and it becomes useless afterwards. A sim pack comes with a unique 11 digit number addressed as the phone number and then then the PUK...no one would ask you for PUK...

That number you are calling NYSC number is a pre-printed number, that is, it is a number printed by the company that printed all NYSC certificates. If you go to NYSC office and you are fortunate to see a blank NYSC certificate, you will see the A00XXXXX thing. In fact all certificates for almost all exempted and discharged Corps has been printed with the DG signature already, and all these certificates already has the certificate number.

There is a popular case, the case of Kemi the Ex Finance Minister. She was issued one of those unused pre-printed certificate. It was discovered that the lettering on her certificate is not the same as other certificate in the same batch and the signature on the certificate was a signature of another (former) DG as at the certificate issuance date. NYSC has a records of the certificate number but has no record of the NYSC code.

Anyway, both numbers are acceptable except where the company provides a clue on the application form/portal. To this end, I can't help you guys beyond this. If you still believe you are right, then you are but always know that the A00XXXXX number is not printed on the certificate by NYSC but by the company that printed the certificate for NYSC. Until someone has issue, one will never know which of the numbers is more important. I just prayed that you will not encounter a situation that will proof to you, which number is relevant to NYSC among the two numbers. Thank you.

TGM2015:


One of the features of a genuine certificate is a pre-printed serial number. The purpose is to guide against fraud. That number can not replace your identity number as a member of that institution. Most professional institutions having know this issue have always adopted having only the hip number. So on the face of the certificate you can only find only and only one number. But where there are two numbers on the certificate, one must be the certificate number and the other you hip number.

In modern days, most educational institution are now adopting having one number on the face of their certificate which will either be hip number or certificate number. Where the organisation go for hip number and which to include the certificates number, the number is usually written is small font size at the bottom of the certificate or write it at the back of the certificate.

NYSC trying to preserve their old templates still have to include but the certificate number and NYSC number on the face of the certificates. The general convention has be that the most important number among the two will be in "bolder/bigger font", that emphasized. Now, if you look at the certificate, you can then decided which of the number that is emphasized and other number/words that are printed.

The fact remains that all other words and numbers were pre-printed except the Name, the NYSC code, period of service, date of issuance and the signature. These are those things that are emphasized and by convention distinct the holder from another.

lovelyayo:
They gave you a number called nysc call up number, not nysc number. Dont mislead people with your unconfirmed theory.

Dont be the reason why somebody out there will got it wrong.

Check my comment above this post. If you still hold on to your opinion, then, you are right. Thank you.

Everrest9:
My little contribution about NYSC number is that, I think the number they are looking for is the one at the top corner of your certificate because if you observes the number very well... You will notice it contains part of your callup number on your Certificate. Any organization can easily search for you on NYSC file through that number at the right corner of your certificate.

LumiTee:


You are not making sense one bit. Try to take correction and stop confusing people upandan. NYSC Discharge certificate is what any employer will ask for.

Okay, I am very sure that the number on your degree certificate is your student number.

tmgtreasure:
NYSC discharge certificate number, your NYSC certificate number usually appears at the top right-hand corner of your NYSC certificate.

NYSC certificate number is simply the number that doesn’t have initials like NYSC/OY. It’s simply the certificate number which usually begins with A00 followed by a seven-digit number.

Do not confuse NYSC discharge certificate number with with Call-Up number.

You actually call the A00XXXXX number the real name it was called. Before NYSC it you as Corps member, they usually give you a number, that number is called NYSC number. It is left for you to get to know that number yourself.

Anyway this may be of help to you... the poster gave a simplified version. Seriously if any Corps member has issue with the court it will be addressed the same way it is shown on the certificate.

sweetjohn:
My brother, God go bless you for me plenty. I have almost developed headache on this. I believe you hundred percent on the difference between the two numbers. Even think about it, on the NYSC certificate it was stated as this "This is to certify that Adamu Abba NYSC/EXE/ABU/2018/173581 a graduate of Ahmedu Bello University...". From the above statement it is only logical that the number (NYSC/EXE/ABU/2018/173581) preceding the name of the discharge or exempted NYSC students is his or her NYSC number.

Btw, the number above those not exist, I only form it to explain what I want to explain

SpecialAgent:


let me guess, fresh graduate?
Guy, no body cares about ur call up number after the mandatory one year service, The cert number is the koko. That's what will be use to wether you have actually served or not. Ur details like names, state, call up number can be gotten with ur cert number

bashtee09:

My brother, I pray ignorance won't kill you

who the hell needs your Nysc call up number,its usefulness expires immediately you have your certificate.

if you had been applying for job you won't be saying this, and you are still trying to confused people that hasn't ed.

I applied for NNPC last year and it was the certificate number we put in the column provided for it, NNPC already help us in putting 'A' self so as not to put in the wrong number, all we just had to put is the number that precede it.

please try and know something well before you come and confuse people on a public forum

Okay.

sweetjohn:
In other words, I was right all along right. Cos, INEC asked of the NYSC number and not Certificate number.

You are right on this.

When an organisation asked for your NYSC DISCHARGE (CERTIFICATE) NUMBER, they are only interested in whether you have the certificate or not. But when they asked for your NYSC NUMBER they are interested in who you are as a Corps member.

Unfortunately, the application was not built to validate the field or give clue to applicants. So, I am very sure that, based on standard recruitment process, both numbers will be accepted. I do not think there should be any cause for worry for those that used their Discharged numbers.

Lordseyad:


No, it's your certificate number.

What do they need your NYSC call up number for?

It's useless after NYSC. Have you been applying for jobs?

Prob, you haven't. Cos if you have, you'd know the number they are asking for!

Preshhy:


Lol is this the first time you're using your nysc certificate to apply for a job?..they don't have any business with those things you just mentioned..it's your certificate they want that's why they are asking for your nysc number..wetin concern them concern the State wey you do your Nysc

The number that start with A (Attended) is your NYSC DISCHARGED Number and the code starting with NYSC is your NYSC number. NYSC number is the number that all your activities and identity as a Corps member is attached to.

So any organisation that needs you to enter your discharged certificate number will ask you for your NYSC Discharged NUMBER.

For your comment on jobs,... I don't respond to childish conclusions.

sweetjohn:
Hello people, just seeing this post after I have ed though. I only get to know that the NYSC number is at the top right side of the Ceritificate. I was thinking is the number after your name. Pls o, what can I do? Does it really matter? Whose person fault is it? There is no indication that this is NYSC number in the certificate, one can only think that the codes after your name is your number

The number at the right top is certificate number, it is not NYSC number. The code after your name, which is the same as callup number, is your NYSC number starting with NYSC/state/University/year of service/state number

bashtee09:
Guyz please I have a question, if I want to fill in my NYSC number, which of this format will I use

A 00000 or A00000

please help before I make a mistake

Anowax:
The second one 'A0000'

Liposure:
my guy, i didn't add d A, is that a problem

You people are writing your NYSC certificate number. Your NYSC NUMBER is your callup number starting with NYSC/...

Hmmmm, while this is a good idea it may lead to higher cost of agricultural products in Nigeria. I ed how cheap Garri was before Obasanjo's cassava revolution. Our farmers preferred exporting cassava than selling to Nigeria market. The once food product that the poor can afford to waste now becomes difficult to buy for consumption.

Mckandre:
Pls Help This Rape Victim

Good day everyone, I really need your contribution and advice concerning this matter.

I'll try as much as possible to be brief on this, pls Pardon my blunders. I've a friend whose 17yr old cousin sister was raped few days ago by 3 guys, fortunately one was caught while the remaining two were at large.

My friend being that she's the only capable pson in in the family took it upon herself to find justice for her little cousin. The case was reported to the area command while the little girl was recuperating in the hospital.

There wasn't much of a tussle before the detained rapist (who's not older than 14yrs) started spewing the identity of his conspirators, but before that something unexpected happened, when the police were at to his house during investigation, they met his mom who broke down in tears as they explained the situation to her, she told the police they can do as they wish to her son that he's very rebellious and dangerously mischievous in nature, that she's tired of hearing complaints about her son,that she has been waiting when the news of her sons demise will get to her, mind u this is a boy 14yrs of age.

The second person (who's not older than 16yrs) and the third (who was the eldest among the two boys was above 24yrs) were later caught consecutively.

The third guy, being the eldest was the pson who initiated the act while the other two teenage conspirators were responsible for luring and holding their victim while she got raped.

Today being Thursday while my friend was at the police station,she discovered that the eldest of the three is married with a child, whose wife also came visiting with their baby at the station.

Considering this recent developments pertaining the culprits and their families, its becoming emotionally challenging and it has taken a huge turn on my friend and she's feeling all emotional and confused at the same time on how best to handle this situation, she even went to the station with food flask for the suspects . I've advised her its best she see this through and get justice for her cousin but m afraid it's not enough and she might end doing something we all might regret later.

Pls s help move this to the appropriate section.

I've advised her its best she see this through and get justice for her cousin. There you have your answer.
Anyway, I believed the opinions of the girl in question should be your guide, at least, she is 17 years. If she want to go through it, help her. If she is undecided, go ahead and fight for her. But if she want to let go, her and help her in building a brighter future with the money you would have used to get justice for her.

This is the slip

Oga, take down that slip or remove, edit and re.
Anyway, the poster below your comment has helped in this same regard.

To remove it, click on modify and click of remove, then submit.

They should wait for INEC. The judgement has some forms of technicalities that can be used to overturned the latest event.

As it stand now, PDP actually won 25% in 5 LGAs, PDP loss 3 (Southern Ijaw, Nembe & Ogbia). The 2/3 of 8 is 5.33, here is where technicalities set in. The judgement wasn't reported to have cancelled APC votes nor disqualified the party like Zamfara & Rivers.

Let us wait for INEC position. When the reported INEC person was quoted to say they will determine who meets up Supreme Court judgement, many people do not understand why he made that statement. And APC National Chairman statement, they are seeing the loop holes that may make Supreme Court judgement none implementable.

Motorways:
1. Toyota Sienna 1998 to 2003.
This car is good for you if you are aiming for Intercity and intra-city and inter-state transport business, that is, you intend to use it within a city moving engers from one end of the city to another extreme end of the same city, an example is from Epe to Abule Egba in Lagos. You can also use it to move from one State to another, an example is from Lagos to Ijebu Ode or to Ilorin, or from Owerri to Ibadan, etc.

Why is Toyota Sienna a very good option?
1. It's fuel economy is superb. This car de economize fuel like craze.
2. It's legs are very strong for Nigerian roads. The suspension of this Sienna is very rugged and it shock absorbers can withstand considerable amount of weight.
3. It spare parts are easily accessible anywhere in Nigeria.
4. Toyota Sienna 1998 to 2003 is easier to diagnose and fix for majority mechanics in Nigeria because Toyota design this car for simplest repair experience.
5. The spare parts of Toyota Sienna 1998-03 is very cheap compared it's counterparts. From Engine to shocks to disc to transmission, etc are very affordable.
6. The ride experience in Toyota Sienna 1998-03 is comfortable and very balance in of top speed stability.
7. The Sienna is designed very rugged for all weather in rain or in shine season.

8. It's very spacious for it size. Sienna has capacity to seat minimum 8 engers and also offers go ample space for luggages.

9. Sienna can be used for carrying loads instead of people. You can use it for supplies to super stores, carry all manners of stuffs fully loaded both in it interior and on it roof. All have you to do is to remove the seats from second row to the booth.

The point is that you won't regret buying this car if you do thorough inspection before buying one, whether tokunbor or ed one.

The price of tokunbor one with working AC is N1.3m with us here in Lagos and that of the ed one is N850k with us here in Lagos.

If you maintain your Toyota sienna 1998-03 very well and manage the business well it has the capability of earning minimum N200k per month. That's the salary of a senior civil servant in Nigeria.

Oga, you no talk about other cars now. Anyway, you use the clause "with us here in Lagos", where are you located?

Possibly the forfeited Slot Asset stands as collateral for the loan. Same happens in Union Bank and Ikoyi money. The forfeited house with no owner made Union Bank surface as the legally owner of the property as they have take over the property based on defaulted loan for which the house was used as collateral.

The unfortunate part is, in this type of situation, the bank has to choose between recovering depositor money and negative publicity. The hard part is, they have no alternative, both must happen.

So you work with LIRS? Oga go and edit your attached screenshot.

anonimi:


You don't know what you are talking about.
Sit down somewhere and refresh your memory extensively before you comment on this subject again.

Okay, you mean AC instead of APC? We all know that AC collapse to be APC. Anyway it would have been a good gesture to help in that regards by highlighting what I don't know.

For your information, you can Google Assassination of Dípò Dínà and also survey Ogun State, most especially Abẹ́òkúta people, opinions and information on Gbenga Daniels Killer Squad. Tai Solarin University of Education and Olabisi Onabanjo University students during that period can give you more convincing facts on it. You may later know who don't knows what he is saying after that.

YorubaPrince:
Na Tinubu & Gbenga Daniels joor!

I know a state governor in the South-West who once had a killer squad headed by his Chief Security Officer, a police officer.

He stated "a". The only know ex South West Governor with Killer Squad is Gbenga Daniel as he was believed to have killed Dipo Dina the AC preferred governorship candidates for 2011 elections. This lead to Ogun State people to overwhelming vote against anything that has to do with Daniel even in the last elections. The rejection lead to Ibikunle Amosun victory, if not the assassination of Dapo (I think that is the name of the man, Ibikunle Amosun will never have been governor in Ogun State.

SifonAbasi:
Good morning friends.

Please how can I politely stop my ex from visiting my home?

Yesterday was the third time my husband returns from work to meet my ex in our house.

After the incident that happened between us, my ex started coming closer to my husband and they became distance friends.
My husband invited him to our child's naming ceremony and that was how he got to know our house.

Eversince then he has been visiting and I am not comfortable with it.
I told if he must come he should come when my husband is around.

Please what should I do?

Come if you have been honest and faithful to your husband with what he did after you told him about your ex demands, then it must be a test agreed by both your ex and your husband. Your husband may be aware of his coming.

Sit your husband down and discuss with him. If he didn't stop him, them you must destroy you feeling for your ex by developing hatred for him.

Danhoys:
I don't know if this is the right section.. Please lala, your help is needed.

Just this morning, I got a debit alert from AlieXpress and was wondering how possible. I thought it must be a problem with Aliexpress since I do shop there.. As i was trying to get to , I got another debit alert, and yet another.

I had to block the atm through my bank app. I tried looking for my atm and it was nowhere to be found.

It dawns on me that I've lost my atm and someone is shopping with it. Now my question is, is it possible to recover my money through my bank, possibly trace the transaction and know who did it?

You should have go ahead with their customer service, it may be possible to put on hold the transaction so the the goods will be not delivered or the person will be caught on delivery.

Buying Fire truck is good but budgeting and prompt release of fund to put them to use in fighting fire is better.

A plus to him and more buga in the NASS.

I do not understand. The last time I checked, the current Electoral Act was ed my PDP dominated NASS and signed by PDP President. Is it not the same PDP that frustrated Jega efforts to legalised electronic voters accreditation and make mockery of it even to Supreme Court in order to hold on power in 2015 Rivers State Gubernatorial Election.

Hello Nairalanders

This issue has been bothering me for a while now......I had this friend who during our school days was so brilliant,in fact this friend of mine wrote his common entrance at primary 4....at jss1 he wrote his junior WAEC....

Back them we nickname him The "guru"....There was no time I visited him at home,that I wouldn't see him reading,this guy can read from morning till night.....though I was irritated with his attitude but I kept on iring him because there is nothing in this world that this guy don't know....there is no words in the dictionary that is new to him... he was respected among our peers.....

Suddenly, he was no longer communicating with us with plain English,any small question will always be meant with grammar.. In fact this guy will go to the market to buy something and will begin to communicate with the market people with grammar...they we just be looking at him like a man...

Then,one fateful day according to his mother,he ran out with a dictionary screaming "loquacious"all effort to calm him was in vain
the guy is in the asylum right now.....

This episode has left me confuse.....expert in the house can you help me out.....

CAN A PERSON LOSE HIS SANITY DUE TO EXCESSIVE READING??

To your question, yes, only if the person concerned do not have enough rest and thinks (negative thinking) a lot. So the insanity will be caused, not because s/he reads too much, but because s/he allow the readings to deprived him/her enough sleep and allows him/herself to develop negative thinkings or becomes depressed because of reactions of people around him.

To your friends, his insanity, the way you describe it, MUST have been the village people thing.

Personally, looking at the source data (opinion of people) for Transparency International, the report is more than correct. The fact remains that Buhari’s istration has exposed a lot of corruption. So people now see that we are more corrupt than they know us. The ranking is not about how good is Nigerian government fight against corruption but how corrupti are Nigerians (not Nigerian government).

Unfortunately, for those bashing Buhari anti-corruption war, the ranking was on Nigerians and not the government of Nigeria. The ranking is saying that Nigerians (ordinary citizens, executives, judiciary, police, government workers, private companies, legislators, etc) are among most corrupt people in the world. The ranking is just confirming that there higher numbers of corruption cases that has been won and exposed that previous istrations. Thanks to the Jonathan government. The more corruption and fraud related cases that are exposed by our social/news medias, taken to courts, etc. the higher the world perception of how corrupt we are as a Nigerian. This will always increase our ranking position in corruption related surveys.

Take for example, if you see a man of God doing wonders, you are tend to believe he will be Saint. If one person, accused him of raped, you may doubt it, by the time 2nd, 3rd and 4th person accused the same person with evidence, you know how your perception about him being a Saint will reduced. The unfortunate part of it is that next time you see a pastor like him, you will has doubts about the genuineness of his pastorship.
