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.

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. The Reed Dance ceremony is an annual Swazi and Zulu tradition hel...

Ijakumo Movie Review

Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give. Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words??? I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...

Sista Movie Review

The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it. Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense. Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...
