Lose weight or risk losing your jobs – Nigerian Customs boss to Officers

Nigerian Customs boss

Nigerian Customs Services (NCS) has threatened to sack overweight officials.

Comptroller-General, Col. Hameed Ali (retd) gave the warning during the Nigerian Customs Command and Staff College graduation ceremony for its junior course in Abuja yesterday.

He advised some overweight officers of the service to get back in shape or risk losing their jobs.

Ali said: “We are going to put in place a weight level. If you go beyond a certain weight level, you will be put on probation.

“If you cannot cope, we will probably get you out. Obesity should not be part of us; that is why we are called paramilitary.”

The customs boss also urged officers who are yet to key into the reformation going on in the service to do so immediately.

“Today, we have been able to place customs on a high pedestal. People respect customs, not because of anything, but because we are beginning to change the way we do business.

“We are not asking for bribe anymore, although it’s still going on, but not in many places. Also, we are not living flamboyantly,” he said.

REVEALED! Labour Ministry organized N88m Empowerment Exercise for ‘Ghosts’

Labour Ministry organized

The supposed empowerment projects for youths in Oyo and Ondo organized by the Ministry of Labour and Employment was a sham, according to the 2016 report from Auditor-General of the Federation.

According to the auditor-general, the ministry headed by Chris Ngige could not tender identity or names and signatures of the beneficiaries.

His report reads:

“Two (2) payment vouchers with amounts totalling N88,110,000.00 (Eighty-eight million, one hundred and ten thousand naira) were raised and paid to 2 (two) contractors for constituency projects executed in Oyo and Ondo states”.

“The payments were for empowerment and training of youths on livestock production and provision of starter packs in Ondo State and empowerment and training of youths on fish production and provision of starter packs in Oyo state.

“However, the following anomalies were noted:

“There was no verifiable proof like delivery note and store receipt voucher (SRV) to confirm that the starter packs were actually procured and delivered.

“The identity or names and signatures of the beneficiaries of the projects were not disclosed or produced.

“In view of the doubts surrounding these payments, I was unable to certify the genuineness or legitimacy of these payments. Therefore, the ministry was requested to forward all supporting documents to my office for verification, otherwise the sum of N88,110,000.00 (Eighty-eight million, one hundred and ten thousand naira) should be recovered. No response was received.

“Accordingly, the permanent secretary is required to confirm the status of these projects.”

It was reported that the ministry paid N34.9 million on vouchers that did not carry the details of the beneficiaries, locations, account numbers or signatures.

He further wrote:

“Fourteen (14) paid vouchers with amounts totalling N34,986,675.00 (Thirty-four million, nine hundred and eighty-six thousand, six hundred and seventy-five naira) were devoid of relevant details such as names of beneficiaries, location or venue, account numbers of beneficiaries, signatures of participants etc., contrary to the provision of Financial Regulation 603 which stipulates that all vouchers shall contain full particulars of each service such as dates, numbers, quantities, distances and rates, so as to enable them to be checked without reference to any other documents and will invariably be supported by relevant documents such as local purchase orders, invoices, special letters of authority, time sheets etc.

“The permanent secretary should provide these details, otherwise recover the sum of N34,986,675.00 (Thirty-four million, nine hundred and eighty-six thousand, six hundred and seventy-five naira) from the payees and forward evidence of recovery for verification.”

In the executive summary, Ayine wrote: “The financial statements of the federal government for the year ended 31st December 2016 were first submitted to me by the Accountant-General of the Federation on 30th June 2017.

“Following my preliminary observations, the statements were significantly amended and resubmitted on 29th September 2017.

“Further amendments to the financial statements led to another re-submission on 29th December 2017 and 16th January 2018 before the final version was eventually submitted on 20th March 2018.”

Family feud looms as Davido’s girlfriend, Chioma dumps school

Reports has been going round for a while now that Davido’s girlfriend, Chioma dropped out of school.

It seems though that from every indication right now, it looks like Chioma has finally dumped school to concentrate on her love affair with Davido.

According to Vanguard Ripples, a reliable source revealed the story and the report also has it that the chef’s family members are not happy with the new development.

The source also revealed that Chioma’s father, who is a devout Seventh Day Adventist is not particularly pleased that his daughter has not been serious with her studies.

Chioma who gained admission into Babcock University (a Seventh Day Adventist school) to read economics in 2012 is yet to graduate, when she should have completed the course since 2016.

Chioma, once skipped a whole session because she was travellling around with Davido and had to defer her studies. For months now, she has not been attending classes. I can’t even remember the last time she was in school. The last thing I heard from her friends in school is that she’s not interested in coming back to Babcock. She’s travelled out of the country again and it doesn’t look like she’s coming back.

A friend confessed to me that she told her she’s not coming back to Babcock, said a source who wouldn’t want her name in print. It was further gathered that her father has had a strict talk with her that she must finish school before embarking on any marriage plans.

The devout Seventh Day Adventist parents are said to be pained about their child treating her celebrated love affair with the superstar singer as top priority over her education. It is public knowledge that Chioma and Davido are already living like they are married. Wherever there’s Davido, Chioma is sure to be there.

For a woman who had a Porsche car gift on her birthday and a song in her name ruling the airwaves, the fantasy that comes with it may just be too much for her to handle, family or not.

Honourable Omosedei Igbinedion, a Federal Lawmaker who represents Ovia South/West-Ovia North/East in the House of Representatives has reportedly bought his 9 year old son a gift that will make many adults green with envy.

Ghanaian singer reveals she turned down trip to Dubai and $100K offer for s*x

Ghanaian singer, eShun has revealed that she once had the opportunity to have $100,000 invested in her music by a fellow who wanted her to spend a week with him in Dubai.

Speaking in an interview on Accra based Class FM, eShun stated that she turned down the offer because it didn’t seem right.

” I had somebody call me, I don’t know him from anywhere, and he’s like, I’ve seen your work, I like you, I’ve checked your Instagram handle and how it’s going so how can he invest into my career and, so, I told him to talk to my boss so that he sees where he can come in.

“I believed everything got down to money because whatever it is, you’ll need money, whether is TV or radio, whatever it is, and he was like money is not a problem for him and that he’s willing to invest $100,000, I was super excited.

“I was happy, but we had been waiting for long for the money, we spoke but he didn’t really mention the money, so one day, I was like, I wanted to ask him if the money was coming any time soon or he just want to us to wait a bit.

“He then told me the money is not a problem but before he gives me the money, he would like to spend the weekend with me in Dubai.”

“I was like: are you saying until that happens the money won’t come? He was like not really but then he wants to show me some things and that is the place he will like to take me after, he can give me the money.

“I asked him: So, is that the condition, no, I don’t think this sounds right. Initially, when he called he should have mentioned that I wouldn’t even have given him attention, so I just backed off,” eShun said.

Nigeria needs a radical approach to be great – Nigerian man writes

Nigerian man writes

A concerned citizen of the country has penned his thoughts on what Nigerians need to take if they want to see the country great again and according to him, it will only take a radical approach.

He wrote ;

A lot of people are waiting in line to do us more harm. The cabals will replace these government positions with their children and loyalists-i don’t see the replacements doing any better performance than the former, This system is a complete sham. we are oppressed and enslaved everyday in a subtle way, Infact the oppression from the law enforcers is vehicle to make politicians pretty much untouchable -to instill fear in us!. Corruption prosecutors are not installed on merits rather it is how far you have gone for the ruling party,who you know and how loyal you are. If we really want change in this country we have to be radical about it-matter expands when heated.

Let me explain the kind of radical i’m talking about, blogs,radiostations,importers,airlines, no one should operate or give a damn about the severe conseqences or penalties for not operating under the normal sequence of operations.

Artists including the most popular should not produce or export any song until there are visible changes. Most people figure their out without the help of the government and somehow that thought process works! Goverment don’t care, they don’t even see the persisting problems, they live from covoy to govt office to govt house not on the streets where the real deal is!

How do we take charge and prepare for the future if we don’t change our mindset? take a minute to stop making dance video challenge or creating unnecessary twitter memes ‘cos One’s progress is paradoxically slow when your mental & physical attention is divided, raw material go thru refining process to become valuable, channel your troll energy into fighting these oppressors using the same medium.

How do we prepare to fight the government radically when all we do is invest in properties,businesses & career we forget our kids our REAL future may grow up in this same economy & like the infinity symbol it’ll be same ol’ same ol’. the subtle oppression from the government has & will continue to enslave our minds until we break out of it.

The road is foggy however i am certain we will get there with a radical approach but who will be the first to swing a catapult at them without being shot down by #endsars .

Senator Bukola Saraki ignores police invitation

Bukola Saraki Ignores

President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki on Tuesday failed to honour the invitation of the Nigeria Police Force over his indictment in the Offa bank robbery.

The News Agency of Nigeria ( NAN) reports that the police had invited Saraki to report to the Head of investigation team, of the Intelligence Response Team ( IRT) on July 24 at 8 a.m. in Guzape, Abuja.

NAN also reports that the invitation was in connection with the confession made by five suspects in the April 5 robbery that they were political thugs of Saraki.

The Force Spokesman, acting DCP Jimoh Moshood, while addressing newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja, said that there was no timeline to the invitation.


Moshood said that the force would not shy away from its constitutional responsibilities of crime detection.

“The Nigeria police force will not abdicate from its constitutional responsibilities of detection of crimes and criminalities, and will always treat crime as crime no matter who is involved.

“The force remains focused and will not be distracted from carrying out a discreet and thorough investigation into the indictment of the Senate President,”he,said.

He said that Saraki had case to answer and it was consequent upon that that he was invited to appear before the IRT.

He said that Saraki was not harassed and intimidated physically or otherwise by any police personnel as reported by some media.

“It is also absolutely untrue that Saraki was harassed, threatened or intimidated physically or otherwise by any Police personnel either from the Force Headquarters or any other formation of the Force,”he said.

Moshood implored members of the public to disregard and discountenance the report of the blockade of the residence, harassment and threat to Saraki’s life.

Juliet Ibrahim questions why men do not take care of their women, says someone else will if they don’t

Juliet Ibrahim questions

Ghanaian Actress, Juliet Ibrahim has questioned why some men do not like to take care of their women.

She is of the view that a man must take care of his woman, whether she is well to do or not.

In an Instagram post she made, Juliet’s question seems to suggest that, during the time she was dating Iceberg, her ex Nigerian boyfriend, he was not spending on her because he felt she was well-to-do so there’s no need to spend on her.

She also added that if a man does not take care of his woman, another man would do so for him. Could this be the reason why her relationship with Iceberg ended?

That because Iceberg was not taking care of her, another person was willing to do so and for that reason felt it was not necessary to be locked up in a relationship, that the man was not giving her anything —Perhaps just sex!

Juliet full post which was accompanied by a beautiful image of her read:

“I do not understand Men who don’t take care of their women, all in the name of “She’s independent. If you don’t take care of her my brother someone else will. #OpenGistWithJuliet.”

Couple’s traditional wedding pose earns them backlash from social media users

Nigeria is a country with diverse cultures and customs, but in the diversity there is a unity that most times seem unbreakable.

The traditional wedding between a Man and his bride is one of the most important ceremonies when it comes to nuptial business in Nigeria, and some might even suggest it is more important than a white (church) wedding and the state (court) wedding.

While the event is colorful and cheerful, there is likely to be a little disagreement one time or the other during the course of some ceremonies, and in this case, the way a newly married couple posed in one of their traditional marriage photos has however earned them criticisms from social media users.

In the photo, the Nigerian couple is seen doing a sexually suggestive pose. While they were criticised by a lot of social media users, they were also praised by some, who say it shows they have a playful relationship.

JAMB warns Cyber Cafe owners against overcharging candidates

JAMB warns Cyber Cafe

Private Cyber Cafe operators have been warned by JAMB against extortion of prospective candidates who want to upload their results on the board’s website.

The Head of Media of the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, gave the caution in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

Benjamin said that the caution became necessary following several complaints made to the board by the victims, on fraudulent activities by some private café operators.

He said the candidates complained of high amount of money they were being charged by such operators to upload their WAEC results on JAMB website.

“Not only do they charge them high, they also convince candidates who had already uploaded their results on the site to do same again.

“Candidates who have had their results uploaded at the point of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration need not do that again, except for those who registered with awaiting results.

“Those are the ones allowed to upload now on our website.

“This upload should not cost more than N100.

“No cyber café should charge more than this amount, however, if candidates can locate any of our Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres, it is free to make the upload there,” Benjamin said.

NAN correspondent who visited some of the cyber cafés in Bwari reports that while some charge a negotiable N500, few charge up to N1, 000 for the result upload.

The exercise follows the recent release of 2018 WAEC results and the announcement by JAMB that“leaders of institutions agreed that the First Choice Admission would be conducted from July 2 to Oct. 16’’.

According to the board, the Second Choice Admission is to commence from Oct.17 to Dec.17.

According to Northern City News, the suspect’s wife was away to their home town, Daura, Katsina State when he committed the act. The incident reportedly occurred on July 16, when the suspect sneaked into the children’s room and had sex with her.

Audu said that he had been having sex with underage girls before he sexually abused his own daughter.

He said,

“I blamed my wife for not being around when I needed sex, she travels a lot and that was why I had to sleep with my daughter; what a shameful thing.

“That night, I was having a burning sensation to have sex and since my wife was not around, I had no option but to sleep with my daughter to ease off tension,” he confessed.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar, said the suspect had confessed to the crime and regretted his action.

“When a father decides to sleep with his biological daughter, I think the world is coming to an end.”

Man who slammed Muslim woman for taking pic with Bobrisky, apologizes

Twitter user, @Akinbosola has apologized after coming under fire for berating a Muslim lady for sharing a photo she took with cross dresser, Bobrisky.

Omotolani had shared the photo of herself with Bobrisky on Twitter with the caption “Guess who I met today”.

Akinbosola responded by slamming her for being excited about meeting a ”dysfunctional homosexual man

Akinbosola later apologized to Omotolani and her picture with Bobrisky and his tweet has since been deleted.

I admit i make mistakes, i admit I’m not perfect, I never said I was perfect. I admit I don’t care what people say about me, i admit I’m sorry, i admit I’ve found something I’m looking for where I wasn’t looking. I admit…

#BankWars; Bank apologizes for Social Media post shading competitors

It’s creativity and presumable subtle shade was definitely what made it buzzing on social media – it even started the #bankwars trend of Twitter but eventually, has now come to a close.

Bank apologizes

Virtually everyone smiled at the banter that followed after Sterling Bank‘s cheeky social media post that took a swipe at no less than 6 banks.

The post had a man in a rocket heading to the moon (depicted by Sterling Bank’s logo) and had the caption: “In shooting for the moon, men become stars.”

The Bank also captioned the photo: “Shoot for the moon, become a star – it’s the least you deserve. Welcome to Sterling Bank

Bank apologizes

The joke was that about 6 banks’ buildings/logos were literally on ground in the ad, with the Sterling Bank customer heading to the moon.

This stirred up something as Access Bank, Union Bank, First Bank responded to the ad, clapping back with memes while FCMB joined in as an observer.

The banter it generated was fun, at least to most social media users – but it appears Sterling Bank may have gotten some sort of warning cause earlier, they released an apology saying:

Our apologies go out to all the banks -the likeness of whose logos & buildings featured in a post which we have since deleted. We remain committed to building an organisation that enables our youth find expression & we will continue to do this in the most responsible fashion.

And apparently, their customer has landed on the moon, and there’s a Sterling Bank branch there – at least, the creative material they announced the apology on shows this.

Condoms at my concert were for sex awareness – Mayorkun

DMW artiste, Mayorkun has said that the condoms found at his Ibadan Concert were only distributed to fans for a safe sex awareness programme.

According to a report by NET, while trying to encourage safe sex among youths, the organizers, with the support of relevant organisations, distributed packs of condoms freely for reproductive and family health awareness which, it says, is typical of events of this magnitude.

“These were seen littering the event ground afterwards,” it says.

On the turnout at the concert, said to be 13,000 guests, Mayorkun says, “I planned to see between 5,000 and 7,000 people yesterday, but I was shocked to see 13,000 people.

“I was ready to perform for two to three hours, which I also promised maximum security.

“So, as soon as I got news on how packed the mall was, I had to get more security.

“The entrance planned for me to use was busy, I had to beg the mall owners to open the back gate for cars to come in.”
