Customs Bans Rice Importation through Land Borders

Nigeria Customs Service has re-introduced the restriction order on importation of rice through land borders across the country.

Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ali (Rtd) gave the approval for the reversal of an earlier policy in October 2015 which allowed rice imports through the land borders, once appropriate duty and charges were paid.

Rather, reports from border commands indicated an upsurge in the tempo of rice smuggling.

Oh Dear! Boyfriend uploads video of his GF dancing Nude in his house (+18 Video)

Don't know if ladies will ever learn from what is happening all around the social media, they keep letting guys capture their nude pic or video all in the name of fun and at the end it gets all over the internet. I won't blame them by the way, sometimes when you are lost in love you just want to be happy and make your man happy too. 

Ladies please always be careful with how you expose your nakedness to the camera. No matter how comfortable you could be at the time of the act it would always come after you in future.

We wonder why it is always the ladies falling victims to such blackmail. It goes a long way in showing deceit on the part of some men.
