Nigeria: Dangote,100 Drivers Recruitment.6 Ph.D, 704 Masters holders Amongst The List

In what can be said to be the highest show of the level of unemployment in the country, the recent advert placed by the Wealthiest Billionaire in Africa; Aliko Dangote saw 13,000 people who applied for 100 vacant post for Drivers needed. Of the 13,000 applicants, there were six Ph.D, 704 Masters and over 8,460 Bachelor degree holders.These numbers shows the abysmal rate of unemployment in the country. Though it is commendable that the Dangote Group has set up a program to employ youths but is there a structure in place? Are they entitled to health benefits? Is it not possible he tests those with masters and employ them for better Jobs? Personally, I admire Dangote but what is his partnership with Indians. I served in Savannah Numan in Adamawa state and sometimes life at the Indians cos of a truth, must of them are not as good as we the Youth Corpers. As they would normally say, which way Naija!
Also last week, I learnt that thousands of young graduates staged protests at the Ministry of Interior in Abuja when officials denied them access to submit application forms. The ministry has since claimed that no employment was on-going.
Wherever rumour of employment is circulated, thousands of duly qualified candidates turn up to participate.

MultiChoice to pay Musical Copyright N5.2 Billion

The Federal High Court, Lagos, presided over by Honourable Justice M. Idris on Monday, October 8, 2012, dismissed the preliminary objection filed by Multichoice Nigeria Limited against the N5.2 Billion counter-claim brought against it by the Musical Copyright Society Nigeria (MCSN) for the illegal use of its works from 2006 till date. The stage is thus set for trial on November 1, 2012.

 Multichoice had earlier filed a writ of summons in Suit No. FHC/L/CS/1091/11 against MCSN, praying the court to grant a perpetual injunction stopping MCSN from asking or demanding from Multichoice to obtain copyright licence for the broadcast and communication to the public of musical works on the radio and television channels operated and distributed by Multichoice within Nigeria because MCSN was not licensed or approved by the Nigerian Copyright Commission as a collecting society.  MCSN had then filed a counterclaim of N5.2 billion for the infringement of its copyright by Multichoice Nigeria from 2006 till date.
