This is part of proactive steps we are taking as part of a review of our national security architecture to lay greater emphasis on intelligence and citizens' participation in security surveillance.

Fashion Stylist/ Editor, Yoanna Pepper Okwesa Gets a Marriage Proposal At Silverbird Galleria
“The adverts that usually run before the movie begins had played thrice in a row and the audience was getting apprehensive when Yvonne Pepper Okwesa, her mum and her fiancée walked in, as they settled in, the text display on the Cinema Screen read ‘will you dance with me’ and ended with her fiancée, through the screen messages, describing her as many sweet things including ‘my Margret Thatcher’. At that point Okwesa began to get suspicious and asked him if this was his doing, then lights were turned on in the cinema hall as her beau went on his knee, the crowd’s cheers drowned the proposal but not Okwesa’s 'Yes! Yes! Yes!'”Lucky girl, how romantic ... please please please Naija men, as romantic as that was don't copy, be creative.
