Finally, we get our first glimpse of his holiness.
Saint West — the divine creation of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West — made his Internet debut on Monday morning. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star posted the first public photo of the tot — nearly three months after his birth — on her website and app.
“Today is my dad’s birthday,” she wrote, referring to famed O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian, who would have been 72. “I know there’s nothing more in the world he would have wanted than to meet his grandchildren. So I wanted to share this pic of Saint with you all.”
Say what you want about his parents, but Saint is pure sweetness. In the pic, the little guy is stretching his arms in a superhero pose as he sleeps peacefully. He’s outfitted in an off-white thermal shirt and rests on the same color bedding.
Does he look more like mom or dad? Well, we’ll let you duke it out over that in the comments.

The couple waited about the same amount of time to share the first photo of their daughter, North West, who will be 3 in June. Nearly three months after she was born, Kanye shared the first pic of her on Kris Jenner’s now-defunct talk show.
While Kim has a lot of drama to contend with lately related to her outspoken husband, she’s been easing back into the spotlight since Saint’s December arrival, making a series of appearances in New York, including at Kanye’s Yeezy Season 3 show. The reality star has said going from a mom of one to a mom of two has been a difficult transition.
“It seemed like every time Kanye and I would go out, we would see couples — or really anybody that had kids — and everyone would say, ‘Wait until you have two.’ Like it’s the end of the world!” she wrote on her website earlier this month. “I remember Kanye and I would be like, ‘WTF are they talking about? Will our lives be the same? Are we going to be OK?!’ Of course, I expected it to be different but, wow, it really is so hard!”
Kim continued, “When I had North, all I did was feed and sleep. This time around, I get no sleep. Every waking second that I’m not with the baby, I’m with North. I actually think the harder parts aren’t with the newborn but with the toddler! I feel like I go into overdrive to give my daughter attention and make her feel loved. I know we will soon get into the perfect groove and just figure it out. My mom did, my sister did — and I will, too.”

Boroffice to FG & EFCC: Mimiko’s N11bn on federal road is Scam

Senator Ajayi Boroffice
The senator representing Ondo North senatorial district, Prof. Ajayi Boroffice has called on the Federal Government to undertake thorough and technical audit of all federal roads in Ondo State to establish the probity or otherwise of the claim by the Governor Olusegun Mimiko-led administration that it expended over N11bn on federal roads in the State.
Senator Boroffice, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Science and Technology, demanded that the team led by the Minister of Transport, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi ‎should publish its reports and recommendations on federal roads in Ondo State for public consumption and scrutiny.
‎In a statement signed by his media aide, Kayode Adeniyi, the senator described the financial claim by the Ondo State Government as bogus, conflicting and deceitful while urging the federal government to exercise circumspection in handling the issue.

“I salute the bold move by the Federal Government to reimburse the state governments for federal road projects rehabilitated and constructed across the country. With this move, the Federal Government has scored another first because it is a sharp departure from the awful past when the federal government paid lip services to such demands from state governments,” Boroffice said.
“However, it is quite crucial to unambiguously state that the claim by the Governor Olusegun Mimiko-led administration that it spent over 11bn on federal roads within Ondo State is bogus, conflicting and deceitful.

“Although, the people are aware that a team‎ led by Minister of Transport, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, paid a courtesy visit to the governor on the issue recently. ‎However, the people are unaware of any painstaking effort to audit the affected roads in order to ascertain the probity or otherwise of the bogus claim by the government. The people believe such verification exercise cannot be wholly determined by courtesy visit. Hence, the demand that the Ameachi-led team should lay its reports and recommendations bare for public scrutiny.
He noted that: “It is on record that while Governor Olusegun Mimiko claimed on a live programme in November, 2015 that the state government is owed N7bn being expenditure on federal roads, a former Commissioner for Works ‎and appointee of the governor, had told media correspondents, few months earlier, that state government spent N11 billion on same. ‎Since a clear contradiction has been established, it behooves on the Mimiko-led administration to publicly reconcile these conflicting figures in the spirit of transparency.
‎”Also, a painstaking audit of the reportedly rehabilitated list of roads will indicate a pattern of roads that were either not reconstructed or badly rehabilitated and are presently death traps.
“Recently, I decried the poor state of the Owo-Ipele–Idoani–Isua road, Akungba-Oka Akoko-Isua road and others, urging the authorities to fix them. It beats imagination why the present administration will seek to make fortune from these death traps. For our people, they prefer that such money is deployed to fix these death traps rather than handed over to the Mimiko-led administration that has an infamous reputation for the misappropriation of the #14bn bail-out funds it received from the federal government and other intervention funds.
“At the same time, it should be noted that there is a widespread jubilation in the camp of top government officials and leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ondo State as a free package of #11bn is being expected from Abuja with which they intend to pursue the 2016 Ondo State governorship election,” he added.
Boroffice stated that “The above revelation is yet another reason why it is necessary for the Federal Government through ‎the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), to exercise circumspection in handling the issue.”

See the beaufitul Nigerian police commissioner- Bisi Kolawole


If her beauty is anything to go bye..then i believe most men will want to get arrested by her for "Lookery" (If there is anything like that).

According to research beautiful ladies tends to be more efficient and intelligent.  Kolawole Olabisi is an Acting Commissioner of Police, ACP Olabisi Kolawole, disclosed  at a news conference to mark 100 days of establishment of the Compliant Response Unit (CRU) on Monday in Abuja.
“Several officers have been redeployed from duty posts including all DPOs by a police command,“ he said.
Kolawole said the action was in response to complaints received from members of the public on misconduct of policemen.
She said that an Assistant Commissioner of Police was also being investigated, 16 junior officers were facing disciplinary action for misconduct, while a traffic warden was dismissed.
Kolawole said that Lagos had the highest complaints with 424, representing 33 per cent, while Imo, Jigawa and Kebbi had two each.
She said that the platform was not aimed at castigating policemen but to ensure international best practices.
The spokesperson added that beyond the feedback on police misconduct, there was the reassurance of the force’s commitment to prompt efficient service delivery.
In a remark, Head of CRU, CSP Abayomi Shogunle, said the unit received 1,946 complaints, resolved 1,522, while investigation was ongoing into 291 compalints and 133 were discarded for lack of evidence.
He said that there was a considerable reduction in reporting police officers’ misconduct by members of the public.
“The force is worried about the low rate of complaints from the public,” he said.
Shogunle said that the force would conduct a scientific research to ascertain the reason for the reduction.
He said that the unit would ensure that Nigerians got the police they could “truly call their own’’.
The CRU is a social media platform established through which members of the public can lodge their complaints and get feedback on police officers’ misconduct.

I think this lady deserves the Most Beautiful Service Personnel for the Month, if not for the year..lol
