Report corrupt practices to us, ICPC tells Nigerians.

The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) has called on Nigerians to support the commission by reporting corrupt practices to it.

Mr Stephen Pimor, the ICPC Commissioner for Oyo/Ogun zone, made the call in an interview with newsmen in Ibadan on Thursday.

Pimor said that the commission was ready to protect whistle blowers, assuring that the commission will investigate credible and anonymous petitions.

“We urge our people to furnish the commission with useful information on corrupt practices around them.

“Let me also inform them that we investigate credible and anonymous petitions in the case of those who have useful information but doesn’t want their identity disclosed,” he said.

Pimor said that the commission had received petitions that were under investigation but did not disclose the number of such petitions.

“We have received some petitions and they are under investigation. I am very sure some of the petitions would be recommended for trial.”

He said that it was premature to disclose the class of cases under investigation.
Pimor assured the media of getting adequate information as soon as investigated case were recommended and presented for trial.

The ICPC boss solicited maximum support from the media and security agencies in fighting corruption to a standstill as preached by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Pimor said that he had visited the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) camp in Iseyin to enlighten and engage the youth corps members on the need to stamp out corruption from country.

He said that the commission was also prepared to enlighten youth clubs and other associations on the fight against corruption, to strengthen the anti-corruption campaign from the grassroots.

The Clumsy Wife

When you were asked about your swollen right eye, you said you sleepwalked and hit your face against the wall. We all said sorry and asked you to get well soon. A few days after, it was your chin that was shifted to the side. In response, you blamed it again in your clumsiness and that you feel off the bed. You are a grown woman in her late 30's. This time, we had questions that we couldn't dare to ask you. Weeks later, you were limping and you assured us that it was your clumsiness that made you fall down the stairs. At this point, we faced our business and wished you all the best. 2 months later, you're lying in a golden casket, 6 feet under the ground. The autopsy read that you died from a deep gash on your forehead, probably a hit from the bloody plank of wood that was found beside your corpse. At this point, you want to talk. You wanted to say it all. But it's too late. Your husband claimed you hit your head on the plank, and we all believed him because you told u

King Of Swazi chooses Wife, Publicly Test Girls' Virginity As They Dance Naked. (Photos)

A common tradition in Swaziland (Swazi) permits the King, Mswati, to choose a new bride every year. This is done in a festival named Swazi Reed Dance Festival where girls are paraded and tested publicly to know their virginity status. It has been a long time tradition in Swaziland and not the first time this controversial issue is making it into the news. Although, many consider this barbaric and backward, it’s a tradition the people willingly embrace as the aim is to help King Mswati choose a wife. As part of Swazi custom and norms, that time of the year has come, when the King chooses his bride and again, he has reportedly tested some of the volunteered girls’ virginity before choosing a wife for himself. Thousands of pretty virgins’ were seen in this year’s edition dancing topless for King Mswati III, on what is called the Reed Dance ceremony, also known as Umhlanga), hoping to be his next wife.

Slum King Movie Review

If you remember how I mentioned from the beginning that the series had a lot of errors that just didn't cut it for me. But the episode 10 made up for a whole lot. Although, it had its flaws, it was a beautiful ending for the series. The writer is like mem this is how I write sometimes. Just want to rush to the end where the beauty of the movie is. I love how Maje lost both women. I would have preferred he ended up with Yaga but I don't understand the crave for Kate. I commented on the producer's IG post that we don't need a sequel. It's not necessary. Let all of us rest with this one. But I see her commenting like there'd be a sequel as she left a lot of things and characters open. Characters like Selense and Sapele water. In all, Slum King is just there as a series but I'd pick it over series like Wura. Y'all need to start giving Tobi his flowers. He is too good!!!
