💔 This message is specifically for people who do not pick their calls despite the several incoming calls they see and especially from close circle. Partner, loved ones, relatives, friends and even unsaved numbers...because you may not know who's trying to save your life. Just take that call first or return immediately just incase you missed them. So this woman who supplies us chicken in our hotel came very early this morning and as usual, we gisted and laughed about so many things. But somehow, I decided to ask her about her husband and that was when she shared something with me that really broke me in pieces. She said around last year, gvnmen succeeded to barge into their home but to her surprised, they weren't after their money. They just asked after her husband who was not at home at the moment and that was then he suspected that they were a$$a$$1n. They actually came to kee her husband. But before they managed to come inside her room where she and her children were hiding after st@bb!n their gate man. She had tried calling her husband several times but the man was not picking up. Uncountable times with her shivering hands but he was not taking his call. According to her, nah so em no dey like pick call and they always fight over it. Sadly, the man who was not picking his calls was at the gate horning and immediately, the a$$a$$1n opened the gate and dragged him to the parlour and that was how he was also st@bd to death in her very eyes 🤦 Months later after several investigation, it was confirmed that it was her husband's business partner who sent a$$a$$1n to kee her husband. They sealed a business deal together but out of greed, he wants to take all the money alone🤦 The rest is now history. Omo... Please try to take calls. Please. No matter what number it is because you never can tell who's saving your life. And if you have good reasons not to take calls, please be very sure about who's calling. May God preserve our lives. Amen. Okpara Chima Victor. From Celebrity Story Teller Owerri.

Student loan beneficiaries may hit 2.1m, says NELFUND The Nigerian Education Loan Fund, an intervention agency set up by the Federal Government, projected on Tuesday, that the beneficiaries of student loans may hit an estimated 2.1 million. The Managing Director of NELFUND, Akintunde Sawyerr, disclosed this at the inauguration and induction of members of the SERVICOM unit and committee in Abuja. His projection comes one week after data obtained from NELFUND showed that it has disbursed over N104bn to 613,734 students from Nigerian tertiary institutions since inception. The disbursed funds encompass institutional fees paid directly to the institutions of applicants and upkeep loans paid directly to the account number provided by the applicants. Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Sawyerr explained that with the admission of about 400,000 new entrants this year, the Fund may be anticipating its total number of registrants to reach 2.1 million students. He said, “For the people we are responsible for in tertiary institutions that are government-owned such as polytechnics, universities and colleges of education and the bulk of students who will be coming in for the next session, we have estimated our commitment today to these people is somewhere in the range of 2.1m. “It is an estimate and it gets bigger than that when we start our skills programme. That is because there we have a lot more. We are expecting that about 400,000 students will be starting this new session.” When asked if the Fund would also address the plight of the over 20 million out-of-school children in the country, Sawyerr dismissed the notion. According to him, the loan scheme is strictly for students in tertiary institutions in line with the building principles and law. “When you look at the Act that set up NELFund, it is very specific that it is for tertiary education. So, while we recognise that there may be 20 million out-of-school children in Nigeria, the law only allows us to address those who are studying or about to start the course of tertiary institutions owned by the Federal Government and subnationals. “So the rest of the population of students is important. Some of them may eventually come into our purview as they get through their education system. But as of today, by law, we are only able to address those at the tertiary level. We have a two-pronged process. Before anyone can apply for a loan, he has to register with us. “We have about 417,000 students who have registered on our portals and about 328,000 who have actually applied. Some have been processed, many have been looked at and most of them will get the loan,” he stated. Earlier in her address, the National Coordinator and Chief Executive Officer of SERVICOM, Mrs Nnenna Akajemeli, called for teamwork and cooperation among the inductees to make the student loan process a seamless one for the beneficiaries. SERVICOM is a Federal Government initiative to promote effective and efficient delivery in ministries, departments and agencies to ensure customer satisfaction and manage performance. She said, “Wherever Nigerian students go, they stand out. So we need to continue encouraging them. It is also our job to build the skills of public servants for excellent service delivery. “I want to appreciate NELFUND because it has been in constant touch with the SERVICOM office to ensure this programme is a success. For you to go fast, you can walk alone. But to go far, NELFUND needs to walk together as a team.” Punch #PayNPowerStipends #UnfreezeNSIPAccount #NPowerBacklog #ObeyHouseResolution #SupportNPowerBeneficiaries #HumanitarianAffairsAction #NPowerStipendRelief #EndNPowerDelays #NPowerRights #ResolveNPowerIssues

PDP: Lagos Won’t Be Governed by Father and Son The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to oppose any move to install Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, as the state’s next governor. This reaction comes in response to recent endorsements of Seyi as a potential successor to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in 2027 by various groups. One such group, the Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders, made an endorsement on Tuesday in Owerri, Imo State, proposing that Seyi could instead run for governor in Osun or Imo states, where his family reportedly has roots. Similarly, a socio-political organization, Friends of Seyi Tinubu, has endorsed him, highlighting his visionary leadership qualities, intelligence, empathy, and strategic thinking. These endorsements, however, have sparked criticism from numerous stakeholders, with many opposing the idea of dynastic politics in Lagos.
