| Posted: 29 Sep 2014 12:40 PM PDT  #DigitalJobs, a joint social empowerment project of Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN) and the Rockefeller Foundation, will launch at PIN's new headquarters on October 2, 2014. The project, which is part of Rockefeller's efforts to impact 1 million lives in 6 African countries, will involve a campaign to introduce the benefits of online jobs and training opportunity for youth who sign up through PIN.  PIN, the Rockefeller Foundation and other partners in Nigeria and other African countries have embarked on this new project to help tackle unemployment amongst young Nigerians. This will be achieved by introducing online job opportunities that will allow unemployed youth use their unique skills to meet the needs of those who require them, from all corners of the world. For this, they will be able to earn a decent income while also improving their lives and the socio-economic conditions of their families. The #DigitalJobs campaign will encourage young people to combat the effect of unemployment with their existing skills by leveraging the opportunities presented by online work. Online work training opportunities and associated long term benefits, will encourage young Nigerians to develop relevant 21st century skills or sharpen existing skills that can increase their earning potential. "Every young Nigerian should be able to take full advantage of the new opportunities that online jobs provide" said Adebola Agbaje, PIN's Program Manager for the project. During the launch event, on the 2nd of October, from 4pm, PIN will provide first-hand information about the online work project, and online work opportunities, at the organisation's new headquarters located in Yaba, Lagos. The 'invite only' launch event will be attended by project partners, digital jobs/online work experts, and potential online workers. "At the launch event, we will unveil the online destination that will connect young Nigerians with digital jobs, exciting monthly contests and training opportunities at the PIN HQ," stated Mrs Tope Ogundipe, PIN's Chief Operating Officer.

| Another church building collapses in Edo state Posted: 29 Sep 2014 07:52 AM PDT  A building belonging to Liberty Power Bible Church a.k.a Power Palace at Asoro Slope, off Ekenwan Road in Benin city, Edo state, collapsed yesterdaySeptember 28th. According to reports, the incident happened shortly after members of the church left the building after the close of service. No life was lost. The owner of the land where the church was being constructed, Ajor Sylvanus, told reporters that the building collapsed because it was not properly built... "The storm that followed the rain was much but I have been complaining about the building structure. The pastor built the church like a fence, no pillar. The block is just ordinary sand. I have been telling him that no pillar would cause the building to collapse. The building fell on my building and damaged many things. I thanked God that nobody died. When the pastor came, he was concerned about the musical instrument in his church and thanked God that his church members were not around when the building fell. I had to call the police. The building has already cracked and I have been warning the pastor that the building will collapse." he said |

| Man tried to commit suicide inside Synagogue church to prove T.B Joshua is a true prophet Posted: 29 Sep 2014 06:22 AM PDT  Speaking on the the misrepresentation of the church building collapse tragedy, Emeakayi said the man suddenly tried to jump down from the gallery of the church which would have immediately killed him upon landing. Asked why he'd tried to jump, the young man supposedly said he wanted to show that he believed prophet T.B Joshua. Emeakayi argued that if the man had succeeded in the suicide attempt, the story would have been reported differently. Emeakayi also said what happened on September 12th was a controlled demolition. He maintained the aircraft they claimed hovered around the church building four times triggered off the detonation of some explosives "We are investigating the incident for the world to know what actually happened. When you look at the clip you will see that it was not just the aircraft hovering. At the point of the incident, there was explosion. It is possible they were either dropped or planted and the aircraft will have to come and detonate it. The persons in the building said that the noise they heard suggested that it was an explosion. Those involved in the act may not have been aware of the security cameras. With modern technologies explosive devices could be detonated without a loud noise. There were about four explosives that were detonated in the building from the much the CCTv could capture and because we know that there would be fragments from the explosive, we are calling for an investigation" he said.Watch the video below... |

| Jason Derulo denies cheating on Jording Sparks Posted: 29 Sep 2014 05:41 AM PDT  In a statement to the media Jason explains, "Though I think it is a private matter and intended to keep my break-up with Jordin personal, due to bogus and irresponsible lies being reported by insensitive media outlets it became necessary for me to comment. I spent three great years with Jordin and she is one of the most amazing people that I have ever met. But as in all relationships there are ups and downs and at this time we have decided to amicably part. Infidelity, cheating or deceit played no part in our relationship or our break-up, and I hope that people respect our privacy as we move forward with our lives." |
