62 Fake NYSC Members Arrested In Nasarawa.

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have uncovered a fake National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp at Tammah village, Nassarawa Local Government Area of Nassarawa State, with 62 ‘corps members.’The fake corps members made up of 44 females and 18 males, were arrested on a routine surveillance of the command.

In a statement signed by its spokesman Mr Okeh Emmanuel, the NSCDC said the “fake corpers were arrested while undergoing training with standard facilities such as an obstacle crossing, man-o-war drill and an open field for marching exercises”.

It was revealed that the fake corps members paid sums ranging from N120, 000 to N200, 000 before being admitted to the camp. Some of the suspects in their confessions claimed to be students of evening classes at the University of Jos, Plateau State and feigned ignorance of the fact that it was a fake camp, saying they were lured into it out of desperation as without an NYSC discharge certificate, one would not be able to secure a job in future.

However, the suspects were charged to the Upper Area Court Keffi, where after pleading guilty to a three count charge, were convicted and sentenced to two years imprisonment with option of N30,000 fine each.

It would be recalled that in 2010, 87 fake corps members were arrested from an illegal camp in Angwa Lebu of Keffi LG of Nasarawa state and in 2012, 79 fake corps members were arrested from a hotel in the same state.

The pair, who are neighbours at Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, were 11 and 15 when Emma became pregnant. Sean and his mother moved next door to the Websters in November 1996 and he became Emma's boyfriend shortly after that. He is a 7th year at Margaret Beaufort School in the nearby village of Riseley. Emma is studying for her GCSEs - including one in child care - at Sharnbrook Upper School.

Last summer, Sean said he would stand by Emma and be there for the baby. "I was shocked at first when I was told Emma was pregnant but I am all right about it now." Emma said she thought Sean had told her he was the same age as she was when they started going out.

Kim Kardashian took Atlanta by storm on Saturday night at the premiere of her movie, Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor.
 
But despite looking her best, the expectant reality star has revealed that she isn't finding her pregnancy as easy as she had hoped:

'Being pregnant is not as easy as my sister [Kourtney Kardashian] made it look or as my mom [Kris Jenner] has made it look.'
'It's a little painful at times....I've gotten sick a couple of times and that puts you out especially when you travel. It's getting a little more difficult.'
Kim also revealed that her pregnancy cravings are rather healthy: 'I'm craving carrots and ranch dressing,' she said. 'I used to love sweets, I used to love chocolate, can't even eat chocolate!'

The actress, whose first baby with rapper Kanye West is due in July, has continued with her busy filming
schedule.
 
On Sunday, the reality star was off again, tweeting a picture of herself and best friend Rachel Roy leaving Atlanta. 'Miss my baby already, ' she said, referring to Kanye.
The 32-year-old recently ended up in hospital after taking ill on a plane trip from Paris to Los Angeles, and now recovered, her boyfriend Kanye West and mother Kris Jenner have been encouraging the star to slow down during her pregnancy.
'I like to be active,' she said. 'But I've been chilling out. I took a week off, just to rest and it was amazing.'
 
Kim wasn't going to miss the premiere of her movie though, and touched down in Atlanta on Saturday afternoon, just a few hours ahead of the screening.
She was thrilled to find romantic Kanye there waiting to surprise her, a source told MailOnline.
 
Kim stars alongside Jurnee Smollett, Brandy and Vanessa Williams as a fierce fashionista in the romantic comedy Temptation.
 
Kim has said how excited she was to be a part of it:
'I think that everyone in life can relate to a relationship, whether it's a good one or a bad one, or having trouble, or a blissful situation, and so I think Tyler knows that,' she said.
Tyler Perry's Temptation is in theaters March 29.
