Controller General of Federal Fire Service, Dr. Ibrahim Liman Alhaji inspected the chases of rapid intervention vehicles (RIV) in Dubai and his team at FIREX Headquarters on Monday December 21st, 2021.

Ibrahim Liman, who is also the Controller General of Federal Fire Service gave the commendation at the FIREX Headquarters in Dubai while inspecting the new Rapid intervention vehicles that will be bought by the Federal Fire Service.

While speaking at the FIREX Headquarters, CG FFS mentioned that the Rapid Intervention Vehicles will help in quicker response to fire disaster and the Federal Fire Service will be acquiring fifteen vehicles to aid the fight against fire disaster.

The inspection was jointly carried out by CG FFS, Mr. Eric and Mohd of the company.

A group known as the Nigeria Patriots has accused Saharareporters of discrediting Controller General of Federal Fire Service, Dr. Ibrahim Liman Alhaji over mischievous reasons.

In a statement signed by its Spokesperson, Dr. Sylvester Mbonu, on Friday, the group cautioned Saharareporters to thread with caution and rethink their intentions.

Prior to their report, they published that he has refused to retire after 44 years in service but the report was not true, the fact remains that CG FFS, Dr. Ibrahim Liman Alhaji was born in 1960, joined the Federal Fire Service in 1986, he was due for retirement in December 2020 but got an extension by the presidency for 18months which is due for June 2022.

The statement read; Dr. Ibrahim Liman Alhaji will retire and exit Service in June 2022, we don't appreciate and celebrate the achievements and sacrifices of patriotic citizens who put their lives out for the betterment of the country.

From inception, when he took over as the Controller General of Federal Fire Service, the service took a new shape as brand new fire service trucks were purchased, professional foreign trainings and courses were offered to both junior and senior staffs of the service, transparent recruitment and promotion of officers were recorded.

It is obvious that Saharareporters were mobilized to maliciously blackmail patriotic citizens, Dr. Ibrahim is a patriotic citizen who has never showed interest in contesting elections of any kind, his interest remains serving his beloved country, he added.

Agbalanze Onyekachukwu na Ozubulu!

Metaverse Magna (MVM) Unveils Scholarship Program to Help Millions of Africans Make up to $1,000/Month Playing Crypto-Powered Games 


MVM, Africa’s first and largest crypto gaming DAO, is sponsoring anyone with internet access and a commitment to improving the quality of their lives with a rare opportunity to earn up to $1,000 a month playing crypto games. 

To enter into the play-to-earn crypto gaming world, players are typically required to purchase expensive gaming assets. These assets then unlock access to games like Axie Infinity, which give players cryptocurrency rewards they can exchange for real money. However, given Africa's economic dynamics, the average individual cannot afford to purchase these gaming assets (which can cost up to $1,200 in the case of Axie Infinity). This is where MVM comes in. 

Led by its General Manager, Onyinye Umeaka, alongside a team of operations, growth and community experts, MVM is working to break down gaming barriers in Africa by giving individuals the opportunity to play, earn and grow their wealth without having to purchase any gaming assets. Through its scholarship program, it bears the cost of investment by acquiring the assets and lending them to players. It also provides additional support through virtual training facilities, a strong community of star players across the globe, and a model that ensures that scholars retain the majority of their earnings. 
But it goes beyond fun and games. Having identified Africa’s rapid progression towards becoming the largest workforce in the world by 2035 (source: Bloomberg), the organization is seeking to elevate the lower economic classes towards financial security and develop economies across the continent through crypto. 


In a recent interview, Onyinye Umeaka stated: “The crypto play-to-earn revolution has been enriching communities in the Philippines and other countries across Asia, and we are excited about what it’s already doing in Africa. As further proof of our commitment to the cause, we’re also developing a free and easy-to-use guild management platform to give anyone else interested in building a similar gaming guild on the continent the tools and community they need to do it.” 

Metaverse Magna is the second venture to be publicly announced by Nestcoin, a crypto-native Venture Collective aimed at unlocking the wealth-building potential of crypto, with a mission to democratise economic opportunities across Africa and other frontier economies.

According to Nestcoin CEO Yele Bademosi: “Nestcoin has a broader vision of breaking down all the barriers for entry into crypto, and MVM really embodies this vision. We believe Play-to-Earn has the potential to drive mass adoption of crypto in Africa, approximately 40% of 1.2 Billion Africans are below the poverty line so the opportunity to help 250M gamers on the continent earn up to $1,000 a month is a worthy mission in our quest to drive economic transformation on the continent"

MVM was incubated in partnership with Old Fashion Research (OFR), a multi-strategy blockchain investment fund founded by executives from the world's leading exchange. In the words of Ling Zhang, founding partner of Old Fashion Research and former VP of M&A at Binance: "***We at OFR are beyond excited to be building the MVM DAO with Nestcoin. Whether it is, play-to-earn, move-to-earn, or build-to-earn, the metaverse economy will empower a whole new generation of Africans. The DAO format of MVM will enable unprecedented financial access and wealth creation for our players and our community.***" 

The DAO is partnering with investors who share its mission and will be unveiling more games in the coming months. Game developers are also invited to pitch new and innovative games for a chance to receive capital and an army of enthusiastic and free MVM players. 
In the Metaverse Magna, everybody wins.

Take financial apps like payday Africa great to shop pay as you go but try sending money through the app and your still a victim of pending but foreign apps with the same functions are able to make that payment and keep you informed on the progress.

It was a spectacle to behold as the Igbo in Abuja, last week turned out in large numbers to mark Igbo Cultural Day in St. Christopher Catholic Church Games Village.

The convergence of Igbo communities in the church premises to celebrate this year’s Igbo Day was a colourful event targeted at showcasing the cultural ingenuity of Ndigbo to the world. 

Dignitaries from wide and near graced the momentous event, which historically has been one of the most consistent and colourful of all cultural outings in Abuja.

One of the notable dignitaries, managing Director & CEO of Diamond Leeds LTD, High Chief Kenneth Ifekudu (Agbalanze Onyekachukwu na Ozubulu) observed that the event has as part of its objectives to build bridges of national unity and create a culture of peace amongst Igbo diverse interests and groups in Abuja and beyond. It also aims at creating a platform for the creation of formidable networks, harmonious relationships and good neighbourliness among Ndi’Igbo and their host communities globally.

The event serves as a means of developing opportunities for the youths to learn and practice Igbo culture and values. This is in addition to encouraging philanthropy and reward those who distinguished themselves locally and internationally through awards and motivate them to do more.

Ifekudu said: “Some of the objectives include the need to build latent talents and brainstorm for the development of Ndi’Igbo in Abuja, and to sustain the germane Igbo day cultural history and memorials.”
The carnival-like event featured festivities of music, arts and culture with the sole aim of promoting the cultural heritage of Igbo.

On his part, High. Chief Kenneth Ifekudu, also described the event as remarkable, saying it would make a great impact on the lives of the church members. He also advised parents to encourage their children speak their various mother tongues.

The carnival attracted large crowd of spectators and participants from the FCT and beyond. It might have achieved the aim of engaging the youths in productive and result-oriented activities. It attracted a mass movement of people of Igbo origin within the country and those in the Diaspora who turned up to unite and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of the Igbo people while prizes were also won by various people at the event.

The CG who stated this during the closing ceremony of the Maiden edition of the 5 days Command and Leadership training/retreat organized by the Federal Fire Service for its top management personnel in Akure, Ondo state, also revealed that the Legal document of the Service, the Fire Service Acts of 1963 is undergoing amendment processes and is near conclusion stage with the Director Legal of the Ministry in collaboration with the Attorney General, which will be submitted through the Minister of Interior to the Federal Execurive Council and to the National Assembly for approval.
