#NSCDC Training 5000 New Intakes, We Are Not Recruiting—-Ahmed Audi, Commandant General (CG) of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), says the corps is not recruiting for now, but only training its 5,000 new intakes.

The CG said this on Thursday during the Corps’ 2022 second quarter conference in Abuja.

Newsmen reports that the new recruits are for the 2019 intake, expected to pass out by July 7.

Audi advised applicants not to fall prey to dupes circulating false NSCDC recruitment portals on social media platforms.

He warned that anyone involved in such scam was liable to face the law once apprehended.

The CG also announced the establishment of a new squad tagged “Transport Marshals”, saddled with the responsibility of providing physical security to Nigeria’s transportation infrastructure.

Audi said that the Corps, in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Transportation, agreed to take the proactive step to secure the country’s marine, aviation, railway and road transportation sectors’ infrastructure, including bus terminals among others.

He charged all state Commandants to select no fewer than 20 young vibrant, smart, committed and healthy personnel to be trained for the new squad.

“The Corps will select the first set of personnel who will be made to undergo three months intensive training at the first instance.

“This is to adequately prepare them for the task ahead as we take proactive steps towards addressing the spate of insecurity in the country,” he said.

The CG further said that from April to June, NSCDC Special Intelligence Squad had arrested over 200 suspected criminals in different parts of the country.

“They have in turn handed over suspected vandals and oil thieves to the various state Commands for further investigation and appropriate prosecution,” he said.

He tasked officers on the need to work hard in gathering intelligence reports and prompt supply of information for further action.

According to him, over 500 junior personnel are currently undergoing arms training.

He said that it was important for every security personnel to identify rifles and be able to use them.

The NSCDC boss said that the corps continued to map out new strategies to secure Nigerians and adequately protect critical national assets and infrastructure

BOAT: Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2008 Season Leads Ballon d’Or Greatest Vote With 62%

BOAT: Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2008 Season Leads Ballon d’Or Greatest Vote With 62%—-Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic 2007/08 campaign at Manchester United leads the Ballon d’Or of All Time fan poll, ahead of Lionel Messi’s historic 2012 season.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s outstanding 2008 season has emerged as the leading choice in the Ballon d’Or of All Time (B.O.A.T.) fan vote, with the Portuguese superstar reportedly securing 62 per cent of the votes.

The initiative, organised by France Football, invites supporters to select the greatest Ballon d’Or-winning season in the award’s history, bringing some of football’s most celebrated legends into the spotlight once again.

According to reports published on Tuesday, October 20, Ronaldo’s first Ballon d’Or-winning campaign remains comfortably ahead of the other contenders as voting continues.

Ronaldo’s Historic Manchester United Campaign

Ronaldo won his first Ballon d’Or in 2008 after a remarkable season with Manchester United, during which he played a key role in the club’s Premier League and UEFA Champions League triumphs.

The Portuguese forward scored 42 goals across all competitions during the 2007/08 campaign, establishing himself as one of the world’s leading players and earning the prestigious individual award at just 23 years old.

His performances combined goalscoring, pace and attacking influence, helping Manchester United secure major honours under Sir Alex Ferguson.

The award also marked the beginning of Ronaldo’s five-Ballon-d’Or career.

Messi’s 2012 Season Trails in the Vote

Lionel Messi’s 2012 Ballon d’Or-winning season is reportedly in second place with 13 per cent of the votes.

Messi’s 2012 campaign remains one of the most statistically remarkable individual years in football history, as he scored a record 91 goals for club and country during the calendar year.

However, the current poll focuses on fans’ choices among the greatest Ballon d’Or-winning seasons rather than determining the official winner of the award.

Ronaldo’s 2008 campaign and Messi’s 2012 achievement have once again brought their historic rivalry into focus, with supporters debating which season deserves the greatest recognition.

Ten Football Legends Included

The B.O.A.T. vote features 10 multiple-time Ballon d’Or winners, including Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldo Nazário, Marco van Basten, Michel Platini, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Kevin Keegan, Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff and Alfredo Di Stéfano.

The contest allows fans to compare standout seasons from different generations, placing modern football icons alongside some of the sport’s greatest historical figures.

Reports indicate that voting is scheduled to close on October 27, with the final outcome expected after the voting period ends.

A Fan Vote, Not an Official Ballon d’Or Award

Although Ronaldo currently leads the poll, the result remains provisional while voting is ongoing.

The initiative does not change the official Ballon d’Or record. Ronaldo has won the award five times, while Messi has won it eight times.

For now, Ronaldo’s 2008 season holds the reported lead in the fan-led contest, underlining the lasting impact of his Manchester United performances and the continuing interest in comparing football’s greatest individual campaigns.
