‘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.

Photos: Actor Bishop Umoh Popularly Known as ‘Okon Lagos’ Show off His New House

Okon Lagos revealed that he conceived the idea sometime ago and now happy that he has achieved it.

The actor wrote;

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

BBNaija: If Boma Told Pere That We Had S*x, Then Boma is Stupid – Tega (See Video)

Big Brother Naija Season 6 housemate,Tega has said that Boma is stupid for telling Pere what transpired between them.

Recall that Queen earlier advised Tega to stay away from Boma and Pere.

Queen issued the warning to Tega while they were discussing last night’s game which had Pere and Boma talking about her private part.
She also advised her to be careful about things like that because of her marriage outside the house.

However, Tega during a conversation with Boma on Wednesday told him everything Queen said to her.

She went on to state that If she had sex with him and he decides to discuss about it with another person that’s his business not hers.
According to her, Boma is the stupid one for having to kiss and tell.

She also noted that she won’t take Queen’s advice or withdraw from him either because she’s not a child adding that it wasn’t enough reason for her to want to avoid someone.

“I mean if me and you make out and then you decide to talk about it with Pere that’s your business.

“Why am I supposed to be concerned about that when it’s not my mouth you used in saying what you said.

“Like why should I withdraw from you if you went to tell Pere that we had sex. Obviously it won’t remove or add anything to my life.

“I also told Queen that if Boma chooses to tell Pere that we had sex then it’s Boma that’s stupid,” she said.

In his response, Boma who looked pissed said he wonders why Queen would be going around to discuss stuff about him like that.

Amnesty International Has No Right To Exist In Nigeria – Garba Shehu says

In a statement on Wednesday, signed by Garba Shehu, the presidency heavily criticized amnesty international over its ‘support’ for Pro-secession groups like IPOB.

The statement read; “Amnesty International’s latest salvo at Nigeria is but more of the same.”

“Again, they have decided to side with terrorists, before the liberty of those they injure, displace and murder.”

“Speaking the language of universal human rights, Amnesty International deploys it only in defence – even outright promotion – of those that violently oppose the Federal Government of Nigeria. Parroting the line of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, a proscribed terror organisation, they work to legitimise its cause to Western audiences. This puts them in bad company. Controversial American lobbyists are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to do the same, laundering IPOB’s reputation in Washington DC.”

“IPOB murder Nigerian citizens. They kill police officers and military personnel and set government property on fire. Now, they have amassed a substantial stockpile of weapons and bombs across the country. Were this group in a western country, you would not expect to hear Amnesty’s full-throated defence of their actions. Instead, there would be silence or mealy-mouthed justification of western governments’ action to check the spread of “terrorism.”

“Despite Amnesty’s self-proclaimed mandate to impartially transcend borders, unfortunately in Nigeria they play only domestic politics. The international NGO is being used as cover for the organisation’s local leaders to pursue their self-interests. Regrettably, this is not uncommon in Africa. There is nothing wrong with an activist stance; there are claims of neutrality, when all facts point to the opposite.”

“Amnesty International has no legal right to exist in Nigeria. It must open a formal investigation into the personnel that occupy their Nigerian offices. They should reject the outrageously tendentious misinformation they receive and bring some semblance of due diligence to the sources they base their claims on. Currently, we see none.”

“The Nigerian government will fight terrorism with all the means at its disposal. We will ignore Amnesty’s rantings. Especially when it comes from an organisation that does not hold itself to the same standards it demands of others.”

Former BBNaija Star, Thelma condemns Tega For Making out With Boma

Former Big Brother Naija star, Thelma has reacted to a video of new housemates of the reality show, Tega and Boma making out.

Thelma whose Instagram post was addressed to married female housemate, Tega, described her make out session with Boma as ‘clout and arrant nonsense for a married woman’.

Maintaining that Tega’s husband was justifying his wife’s action by saying that he cheated on her too, she stated that the display is totally wrong.

She added that unless Tega has made up her mind to leave her home for an “overnight celebrity”, then the sensual moment should be left for those single in the house. Thelma also expressed hope of the housemate’s marriage being intact as she doesn’t support a broken home.

The former BBNaija star wrote;

First of all, this is CLOUT and arrant NONSENSE for a married woman. I saw a post where the husband was justifying her actions that he cheated on her and that’s why she’s is doing this. Although I understand that this is just a way of making people to talk, but this display alone is totally wrong for someone that wants to keep her home, unless she has made up her mind to leave her home for “overnight celebrity”. This bedroom caressing, kissing, etc., is for the single ones

Well, all I can say is that I hope their marriage remains intact cos I can never, be a supporter of broken home, Peace.
.
For those of you that enjoy watching porn, I know you will find this truth so offensive, but your rubbish comments doesn’t count ok

Finally, Basketmouth Opens up on Beef With Colleague AY Makun

Nigerian comedian and entertainer, Bright Okpocha, better known by his stage name Basketmouth has opened up about his rift with colleague, AY Makun, popularly known as AY.

For years speculations have been rife about the relationship between the two comedian who have never worked together and are hardly seen together.

There were even reports that both comedians had their own camps of comedians who were associated with them.

Basketmouth has now opened up on the alleged beef, saying AY ‘messed with loyalty’ but that he has apologized and they are now cool.

Speaking at Ebuka Obi-Uchendu’s Black Box Interview series on Bounce Radio, Ebuka brought up the issue of ‘disunity among comedians in Nigeria.’ Ebuka then asked Basketmouth to comment on his relationship with AY.

“I’d have stayed where the competition is. I still do standup comedy but not with great energy because I’m targeting all-around entertainment now. My competition is me. There’s nothing [like a feud] between AY and I, he said.

“He came in my space; messed with loyalty by saying something to my lawyer Magnus that I told him in private. It was nothing but it was enough to cause a rift and have me put up the walls. We made peace and he apologised. I have no single problem with AY as claimed. We don’t talk.”

The 43-year-old comedian, however, played down the situation and revealed that they have settled it and moved on.

“We made peace and he apologised,” Basketmouth said.

Basketmouth also used the opportunity to dismiss rumors that it was because he ‘stole’ comedian Bovi from AY as a protege, that was why he fell out with AY.

I did not snatch Bovi. Bovi is not a girl,” the comedian said stating that he met Bovi in Abuja at a show for the first time and they connected from that point.

“Bovi and I went to Abuja. He performed. I was blown away. When he was done, we talked about what he could do better. We’d been friends but that was the first I saw him perform. I didn’t know any background story,” he said.

“I proposed that we do business together and we clicked. I was already hearing claims before and after the settled rift with AY.

Basketmouth noted that his concern now is increasing his audience and not feud with other comedians.

“My concern is increasing my audience, not feuds. How do I make viewers follow religiously? I have a film coming, a special coming next year ‘The Voices In My Head’, a sitcom coming to TV, another album. These I worry about.”

Nigerian Army Denies Reports Its Officers Manning The CCTV at The NDA Were Asleep Before The Attack

The Nigerian Army has denied media reports claiming its officers manning the CCTV at the Nigerian Defense Academy NDA in Kaduna were asleep before the bandits attacked the institution in the early hours of Tuesday, August 24.

A report by The Cable alleged that the officers who were assigned to observe the CCTV of the institution were allegedly sleeping on duty before the attack.

A statement released by the spokesperson of the Defence Headquarters, Maj. Gen. Benjamin Olufemi Sawyerr, says the allegation is false. The statement in part reads

”The attention of the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) have been drawn to a news publication by Cable online news media claiming that personnel on duty at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) CCTV monitoring room were sleeping when bandits attacked the officers’ residential quarters leading to the death of two officers and the abduction of 1 other officer.

The Nigerian Armed Forces wishes to state categorically that the allegation is untrue and hence challenge the Cable Online to publish forthwith a verifiable proof of personnel sleeping during the incident.

It is therefore imperative to caution the Cable Online media to guide against being used as a propaganda tool by enemies of our dear country. The Cable Online should not consciously or unconsciously collaborate with these unscrupulous elements to spread unverified stories on the unfortunate event that occurred at NDA Kaduna while tarnishing the good image and reputation of personnel of the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) in the eyes of the civil populace.”

Sawyerr added that a panel has been instituted to investigate the remote causes of the attack.

”It is perhaps important to mention that the AFN as a professional force consist of highly trained personnel who are dedicated to their duties of protecting lives and property of all Nigerians.

Let me use this opportunity, to reiterate that the NDA authorities, acting on the directive of the Chief of Defence Staff has constituted a board of enquiry to ascertain the remote and immediate cause(s) of the breach of security with a view to sanction any personnel found culpable and also prevent future occurrence.

Let me also assure that we shall continue to update the general public as events unfold as we are all aware the search and rescue of the abducted officer is still on. Troops of the Armed Forces of Nigeria will continue with it’s operations to ensure all those involved in the dastardly act are brought to justice.”the statement read .
