IGP Appeals to All Police Officers, Advice Them to Marry Each Other

The Inspector General of Police, IG Usman Baba Alkali has called on officers and men of the Force in the country to get married to themselves to strengthen the service.

Giving the advice during his one-day working visit to the Niger State Police Command in Minna, Alkali urged the personnel to put aside the idea of looking for good husbands and wives outside and start searching inwards.

The Police boss told his officers and men that among themselves, there are good men and women they could get married to in order to enhance the good working relationship existing between them.

“We have some handsome single men and beautiful ladies among us. I would like to advise us to start taking our wives and husbands from our colleagues to buttress our already existing working relationship to that of full family affairs.

By doing so, the good working relationship existing among the personnel will go just beyond the normal office relationship and will help in the improvement of confidence and harmonious relationship. It will also go a long way in providing courage and strength to our service.

“I think it will be a welcome idea if we start looking inwards to see how we can build a better family here than going outside looking for a good wife,” he said.

Abba Kyari Committed No Crime On US Soil, Shouldn’t Be Extradited – Panel

Embattled Super Cop, Abba Kyari may not be extradited as it could not be established that he committed a crime on US soil.

This is according to a report by a panel setup by the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali to look into an indictment on Kyari by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI over his ties to disgraced fraudster, Ramon Olorunwa Abass, a.k.a Hushpuppi.

In response to the development, the IGP setup a special panel to investigate Kyari. The panel was headed by DIG Joseph Egbunike. The Panel in a report submitted in August, established that there was communication between Kyari and Hushpuppi as well as infractions on the part of the former IRT boss.

According to DailyTrust, the panel didn’t recommend the extradition of Kyari as it couldn’t be established that the decorated police officer committed any crime in the US.

“There is no proof that he committed any crime on the soil of the US to warrant his extradition.

He will be sanctioned by the appropriate authorities here. However, it is for the AGF to advise if there is a ground to extradite him to the US, which is very unlikely,”, a source told the paper.

‘I Don’t Have Female Friends Because Their Lovers Always Want Me' – Moriah Mills claims

A curvy bombshell has revealed that she has never had any female friends because their partners always fancy her.

Moriah Mills, 27, from New York, US, believes that she’s never had a gal pal because their boyfriends and husbands “all want to date her”.

And, she certainly makes the most out of her appearance as Moriah rakes in $300,000 (£217,000) every month.

Moriah claims to be more than happy in her own company and she also has her 90,000 Instagram followers to keep her busy, @thisismoriahmills.

The young woman explained: “It’s always been me, myself and I, being a bit of a loner and preferring my own company.

“I don’t really trust people and I don’t worry that I haven’t got a best friend.

“I used to care but now I just love myself.

“Most females have been judgemental about me because their husbands and boyfriends want me.

“I’m super nice but maybe they feel that I’m conceited because of my looks.

“They couldn’t be more wrong. I’m very down to earth.”

Moriah said: “It never bothered me very much, I worked hard and although there were people that I liked and would speak to I wasn’t close to them.

“I never trusted people enough to get close to them.”

Moriah is also a singer and rapper and says that people are surprised to learn she didn’t have many friends.

She said: “Working in the music industry and being a model, people always think I’m going to have this big entourage, but I don’t.

Most of the people that I’m friendly with now are guys but I wouldn’t call them up for dinner and drinks to hang out.”

Moriah continued: “I’m trying to trust people more, which may lead to a friendship eventually but I’m really not bothered.

“I work for myself and I have my super cute dog, Charlie. That’s all I need.”

And, Moriah’s not the only youngster who lives a more solitary life.

A YouGov poll from 2019 found that 22% of millennials (anyone between the ages of 25 – 40) said they had no friends and 27% of them reported having “no close friends”.

Luckily for Moriah she has plenty of dates to keep her company!

She said: “I love romance and being wined and dined.

“I never have a shortage of male admirers to take me out.”

Leaked: I Would Have Killed Churchill With Rat Poison – Tonto Dikeh says (Audio)

The love and relationship between Tonto Dikeh and her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill could not stand the test of time as it gave up abruptly.

One of the marriages that ended up in a mess was the marriage between Tonto Dikeh and her former Husband Churchill. Their marriage ended with series of scandals and drama from both parties.

The tension between Tonto and Churchill was further exacerbated when Olakunle welcomed a baby with his bestie, Rosy Meurer.

An audio obtained by Sahara reporters where it shows Tonto threatening to kill Churchill with rat poison if they were still married. The audio has been alleged to be the voice of Tonto and not that of a different person.

In her words: “I dealt with him, if Churchill slap me once, I slap him ten times before the second slap landed. He didn’t know what was hitting him. If I see any bruise on my body, I’m burning his whole clothes and you know he likes designer (sic).

“I’ll burn down the whole cloth, burn down everything. In fact, there was a day I locked him outside, took his things outside. All his clothes with box outside my house, I snapped it and sent to all his family. I say tell your son to come and pick his properties. His mother started begging me.

“When my father heard, he said, ‘You are a mad woman, you mean you locked a man outside the house and his family members were begging you like this’. I say, ‘Daddy, you won’t understand’. If I’m still with Churchill till today, Churchill would have been dead. I will give him rat poison, simple as that, and I won’t feel bad nor guilty. I will walk away like a widow because it’s better that I became a widow than all this kind of things.”

NYSC Signs MoU To Include Corps Members On NHIS Programme

The National Youth Service Corps has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Health Insurance Scheme on the inclusion of Corps Members in the NHIS programme.

NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim who stated this when he led a delegation of the management of the Scheme to the Headquarters of the NHIS in Abuja, today commended the Federal Government over its concern for Corps Welfare.

He said the signing of the MoU is in line with Presidential directive that all Corps Members must be enrolled in the NHIS programme.

“This shows the concern for the welfare of the Corps Members by the Federal Government and we are thanking the President for his uncommon love for the Scheme.

We also promise that our Corps Members are going to render more selfless service to the country. This is going to inspire them to do more for their fatherland.

We want to thank the NHIS for this partnership and we are going to take this partnership to the next level”, he said.

Speaking further, Ibrahim said the partnership with NHIS is going to cushion the health needs of the Corps Members in their different states of service.

He added that the Scheme is already in partnership with several stakeholders, including the NCDC whereby all Corps Members are tested for COVD-19 before admittance to the orientation camps, alongside other camp officials.

He said only those that test negative are allowed entry into the camps, while those that test positive are taken to the isolation centres by the NCDC and State Health officials for treatment and care.

“This partnership has helped the NCDC in COVID-19 data analysis in the country”, lbrahim said.

The Executive Secretary of the NHIS, Prof. Mohammed Nasir Sambo said every Nigerian should be included in the healthcare delivery of the Federal Government.

He added that the NYSC and NHIS had worked assiduously through a joint technical team towards the development of a blueprint for the necessary financial provisions.

“We decided to sign an MOU so that the responsibilities of the two agencies will be clearly spelt out in order to have a hitch-free implementation”, the Executive Secretary said.

He commended the Federal Government for increasing Corps Members’ allowances, adding that the provision of a free medicare will spur them into higher level of service delivery to their fatherland.

“We call on the Corps Members to reciprocate this gesture and rededicate themselves to national service.

NHIS is growing, as different associations are signifying interest in the Scheme”, he said.

Prof. Sambo said as a result of efforts by the NHIS to deepen the implementation of the rebranding agenda in the agency, it has developed a five-tenure strategic plan among other innovations.

He disclosed that the NHIS and State Health Insurance Agencies are developing a new initiative tagged; “Health Insurance Under One Roof”, where the two agencies would ensure adequate free medicare for all Nigerians.

He said that the law establishing the NHIS makes it not mandatory, but efforts are on-going to have a clear pathway for universal healthcare that will be mandatory for all Nigerians.

Guys sometime ago, I thought it good to build me a small house, but big enough for a little more than two ( @mrs_imebishop and I ). I’m done and this is it!

Be steady on your grind but pls try and make it legit. Work hard as if no amount of prayer can help and pray hard as if no amount of hard work can help.

Don’t get drowned by social pressure. Appearance is not reality. Take your time, pick your shots, make smart decisions. Life is a marathon and not a sprint. Be careful how you make haste towards attaining success. Yes, apply speed but know the limits. Speed kills!

This our “little Rome” was sure not built in a day! In all, God is faithful. YHWH is the greatest! He alone drives away flies from the tailless cow!
Happy new Month from all of us here at the Republic
