OFFICIAL: NYSC postpones Batch A Orientation Programme.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has postponed to April 27, the three-week Batch A Orientation course earlier scheduled to start on March 30.

Abosede Aderibigbe, NYSC’s director of press and public relations, made the confirmation while responding to an inquiry by TheCable.

Prospective corps members were confused on Friday when a message started circulating online that the orientation programme had been postponed.

A statement on the NYSC camp appeared to validate their fears, but there were against reports that the strange time table was the work of hackers who had supposedly gained access to the NYSC website.

Aderibigbe did not state any reason for the shift, but apologised to the prospective corps members over any inconvenience that the development could create.

“We wish to confirm the shift in date for the commencement of the 2016 Batch ‘A’ Orientation course,” she said.

“The new time-table for the course is as follows:

Nigeria ranked 103rd Happiest Country in the World And Reasons Why.

The United Nations World Happiness Report 2016 which was released on the 16th of March rated Nigeria as the 103rd most happiest country in the world. Denmark was rated the 1st most happiest country in the world while Burundi was rated the least happiest country in the world.

Though Nigeria's rank on the list is not as high as Algeria which is placed 38th rank, or Mauritius or Libya on 66th and 67th rank respectively, but we'll always try to be happy.

Hence we'll be highlighting some of the reasons why Nigerians are happy people. 

1. Football

Football is one reason Nigerians are happy. All over the country, there are groups of people – old and young alike who take football as a way of life. It is believed that our languages and religions differ but in football, we speak one language. 

2. Food

Food makes us so happy – so happy that we could forget our sorrows whenever we eat.

From the woman who screams ukpa di oku in Enugu, to the people at White House and their bomb ass rice and stew, to the Hausa mishai who’s making noodles and, bread and egg in Lagos.

Not to forget the dope ass party jollof rice no one would want to miss.

3. Music

Don’t mess with Nigerians. Whether we hear “It’s Young John the Wicked Producer” or “Legendury Beatz” or some old Nigerian musician from way back, we love music and we enjoy listening all the time.

It may be on our headset or in the barbing salon when you’re cutting your hair, you feel slightly better with the right music.

4. Party

Nigerians love to party. We love to wear our favorite clothes and expensive jewelry and come out and dance.

We love the thrill that comes with parties – be it weddings, birthdays and even nightlife. You know we throw the best parties and sometimes for the flimsiest of excuses

5. The Hustle

It may come off as tiring but the hustle for the good life keeps us happy.

Better put, the quest for the good good life makes us grind so hard we don’t feel it. That is the spirit of the average Nigerian.

6. Dance

From Shakitibobo to Yahoozee and back to Shoki, we love to wiggle and go down low and just shake body! In the line of a P-Square song “Even if you get money, dey jolly dey shake body.”

7. Social Media

Like it or hate it, social media keeps a lot of Nigerians happy. In a city where ther are people who have no off hours except on the weekend, social media is their one tool to meet new people and build new relationships and we cherish it a lot.

From Whatsapp chats to Facebook updates to tweets and subliminal messages and Instagram, or Snapchat videos, we love them all.
