President Bola Tinubu has been called upon to confer a National Honours Award on High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, a.k.a Tompolo, Chairman of Tantita Security Services Limited over his unwavering commitment and dedication to the war against crude oil theft in the Niger Delta region. This call was made by HRM Monday Obukowho Whiskey, Udurhie 1, Ovie of Idjerhe Kingdom in his palace on Sunday in Idjerhe, Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State, he said that the attainment of 1.8million barrels per day recently declared by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL was possible because of Tompolo’s collaborative efforts. According to HRM Whiskey, “Tompolo needs commendation. In fact, he needs a National award. Nothing stops the President from inviting him to Abuja and confering on him a National Award, because he has done what Napoleon could not do. “First and foremost, let me especially congratulate the staff and management of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited(TSSNL )led by High Chief Government Ekpemupolo for the battle against oil theft. “From every available facts now, it is now very clear that only the section being handled by Tompolo and his Tantita group are performing exceedingly well. So we can rightly say that Tompolo is not only protecting Critical National Assets but has gone extra mile to take the highest risk. “The situation today is that Tompolo is singlehandedly fighting the oil cabals, the oil cabals that were siphoning the country oil. And if we look at it very critically, there are three major things that Tompolo’s Tantita is achieving today. “One, the firm is working very hard to increase oil and gas production output to the Nigerian government. Before this job was given to Tantita, Nigerian production was less than 1m barrels per day and to bring on board extra 800,000 barrels and still working hard to get it to 2 million barrels per day. “There are serious agencies saddled with the responsibility of protecting this installations. What did they do? Rather, they are conspiring with the oil thieves, and they have started doing it as business. “Secondly, Tompolo is helping to restore our environment that has been criminally degraded from its natural state that today is supporting aquatic life and the growth of this environment, especially cleaner water. “If you are used to this area before Tantita was given this job, you barely can see the water content, because everything is covered in black oil. “But today, aquatic live is being restored and aquatic animals are returning to their natural habitat as a result of the hard work of an individual. An individual took it upon himself. Other people were given the same job. What have they done? “Thirdly, this Tantita Security Project is creating employment opportunities to youths in the entire Niger Delta area and it is exposing our youths to the deployment of high tech facilities, because they are not using manual technologies anymore. “I want to appeal to the federal government to increase and expand this project. Because if you look critically, it is only the areas where Tantita is working that you have this very noble achievement. “So there is no reason why I should not advocate for the expansion of the project so that we can get more able bodied youths from the streets, they need to work. The federal government should, as a matter of urgency, begin to fund Tantita very regularly, because, you know, an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. “Now that Tompolo has used his native sagacity to bring together most dreaded youths in the region to be part of this program, there is no reason why salaries should not be regular. “Increase the workforce, regularize the workers’ salaries, the security contract has enhanced oil production and sustained environmental protection of the Niger Delta people, Tompolo deserve a national award for the feat he has achieved so far.”Ray'Sean Taylor scores 18 as SIU Edwardsville cruises past Eureka 100-52

CBE's Governor Participates In AMF Meeting On Financial StabilityFianna Fail and Fine Gael eye independent TDs as option to secure Dail majorityPost sports betting writer Dylan Svoboda is in his first season in the NFL Bettor’s Guide. Detroit Lions (-6.5) over CHICAGO BEARS The Lions are suddenly in a must-win scenario with the No. 1 seed in the NFC on the line. After the loss to the Bills last week, Detroit can’t afford a loss to the lowly Bears, who have lost eight straight. Good news for Dan Campbell & Co. The Bears appear to be imploding after a dreadful “Monday Night Football” loss to the Vikings. The Bears kept it close in their last matchup in Detroit, but that was a wonky, short-week Thanksgiving game that I’m not putting much stock in. It won’t be as close this week. This is the perfect bounce-back spot for the Lions. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-4) over DALLAS COWBOYS Coming off an impressive 40-17 win over the Chargers, the Buccaneers need a win to keep control of the NFC South. Baker Mayfield is playing some of the best football of his career, and the Cowboys may be a little overvalued after recent wins over the Giants and Panthers. Tampa Bay is a different animal. Betting on the NFL? The Bucs have been a strong 4-2 against the spread as a favorite and 9-5 overall. With the playoffs to play for, bet on a relatively stress-free win for the NFC South hopefuls. LAST WEEK: 0-2: Steelers (L), Panthers (L) SEASON: 4-10. Why Trust New York Post Betting Dylan Svoboda is a versatile writer and analyst across many sports. He’s particularly knowledgeable about the big three — MLB, the NFL and the NBA.
A new documentary by German filmmakers is set to offer a less-than-glowing review of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s efforts to establish them as extremely wealthy global influencers and philanthropists since they departed royal life nearly five years ago. “Harry and Meghan set the bar very high,” Ulrike Grunewald, the director of “The Lost Prince,” told The Daily Mail over the weekend . The documentary is set to air in Germany on Tuesday. “They want to be global benefactors who bring about tangible change. So far, they have not lived up to this image at all.” For the 45-minute film, Grunewald wanted to look into whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex succeeded in “finding freedom” by leaving the U.K. and moving to the United States. During their exit, the couple also vowed to become financially independent entrepreneurs and world-renowned thought leaders. To answer questions about the couple’s post-“Megxit” life, Grunewald said she did reporting in the couple’s new hometown of Montecito, looked into the work of their Archewell Foundation and Harry’s involvement in the Invictus Games and examined recent reports that they’ve “separated” — at least professionally. “I was interested in whether Harry and Meghan’s strategies for an independent life are working,” Grunewald said. “After four years, the results are very mixed.” “Now they mainly appear separately, as they were unable to create a functioning image together,” Grunewald said. They have come down to earth.” On one hand, Harry may have found a new sense of personal freedom by leaving the confines of royal life. “To be fair, from his point of view Harry wanted the best for his own family,” Grunewald said. “And sure he has now gained valuable experience in California and learned what it means to have to stand on his own two feet. He would never have been able to do that in the close circle of the royal family.” But Harry now has decide for himself what he has to offer to the world, Grunewald said. Sure, he still carries “the glamor” of being the son of King Charles III and of the late Princess Diana, Grunewald said. “But in the tough atmosphere of the Hollywood industry,” this allure can wear off, she said. Grunewald is likely referring to the couple’s struggles to become Hollywood media moguls. In late 2020, Harry and his American TV actor wife signed multimillion-dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify, saying that they planned to create “impactful” content “that informs,” “gives hope” and “unlocks action.” But the couple notoriously parted ways with Spotify in 2023, after Meghan only produced one 12-episode podcast and they were branded “grifters” by one of the platform’s executives and star podcasters, Bill Simmons. As for Netflix, they starred in “Harry and Meghan,” their blockbuster 2022 blockbuster docu-series about their acrimonious departure from royal life. But they also began to lose some public good will in both the U.K. and the United States, due to the perception that they had gone too far in publicly criticizing Harry’s royal relatives in the docu-series and in interviews. While lovers of royal gossip also turned Harry’s 2023 memoir, “Spare,” into a global best-seller, it also became clear that some people started to become uncomfortable with Harry’s choice to reveal family secrets. “People have long memories and few revelations can be more damaging to their image than the private details that Harry and Meghan have made public themselves in the last few years,” Grunewald said. Meanwhile, their Netflix partnership has gone “somewhat downhill,” The Times UK also reported . Harry’s documentary about his work with the Invictus Games failed to make Netflix top 10, and there’s still no sign of Meghan’s Netflix cooking show, which is said to have been finished over the summer. Next week, Netflix releases “Polo,” a documentary series that the couple co-executive produced. But neither Harry nor Meghan appear in the series, which happens to be about an elite sport that most people probably don’t care about. The trailer also tries to market the documentary as a Bravo-like reality TV show about “dirty, sweaty boys ... riding” — hardly “impactful” content that “gives hope” and “unlocks action.” Former British friends of Harry reportedly were left in “appalled hysterics” over the “tacky” new series, while a Hollywood executive cautioned that the couple were “running out of last chances” to prove they can make compelling TV that is not about themselves, the Daily Beast reported. The Daily Mail preview about the new German documentary doesn’t address whether it looks into Meghan’s other commercial endeavors, including the premiere of her Netflix cooking show which could coincide with the launch of her new life-style brand, American Riviera Orchard. But Meghan’s company has been the subject of numerous reports about bureaucratic difficulties with the US trademarks office and questions over whether she has the business savvy to get her line of strawberry jam and other products ready to sell. Harry and Meghan also may be struggling in other areas of their post-Megxit life, according to “The Lost Prince.” For one thing, the couple don’t appear to have “integrated” themselves into Montecito’s elite social circles, Grunewald told the Daily Mail. “The cultural life is very lively, but everything often takes place in closed circles and Harry and Meghan rarely take part in these activities,” Grunewald said. “They seem have isolated themselves a lot.” In the past four years, Harry and Meghan, together or separately, have turned up at a few star-studded events in and around Montecito and Santa Barbara. For example, in 2023, they attended Kevin Costner’s annual star-studded fundraiser for local first responders at his estate near Santa Barbara. More recently, they appeared at the September launch of a new book store near their Montecito home, owned by celebrated literary agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and cosmetics mogul Victoria Jackson, said to be a good friend of Meghan’s. Their Montecito neighbors Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres also joined the party, though DeGeneres has recently left California and established a new home in the U.K. Nonetheless, Grunewald’s documentary suggests that Harry and Meghan don’t spend much time in Montecito. A neighbor, Richard Mineards, told Grunewald that the couple haven’t set out to “put down particularly deep roots” in the area. Every once in a while, they’re seen at the local market or on walks — always with security guards in tow. “Sometimes you will see her at the farmers’ market or with a dog, but generally you don’t see her and you just don’t see much of him,” Mineards said. As for the Archewell Foundation, Grunewald argues that the nonprofit, launched with great fanfare in 2020, doesn’t seem to be effectively organized, while the Invictus Games appears to be a bright spot in the couple’s portfolio — even if the filmmaker said that Harry is little more than “a figurehead.” Harry founded the International sports competition for wounded veterans and service people. Jack Royston, the royal reporter for Newsweek, is reportedly interviewed for “The Lost Prince” and says, “I believe that Invictus is genuine and authentic work. Harry is completely devoted to it.”
Snap Inc. is expanding its presence in Saudi Arabia with the establishment of a new office and the Kingdom’s first Creator Hub named, “Majlis Snap for Content Creators,” both located in the JAX district of Diriyah, a suburb of Riyadh. The move underscores the company's commitment to deepening engagement with its 25 million monthly active users in the country, supporting the thriving community of creators while also driving impact for partners and clients.

Majlis Snap for Creators will provide hands-on support, educational programs, and collaborative opportunities designed to nurture and grow the local talent that thrives on the platform. To celebrate its launch, Snap’s co-founder and CEO hosted exclusive sessions with partners, the press and some of the Kingdom’s most valued creators, accelerating Snap’s mission to deepen connections with local creators. Hussein Freijeh, Vice President of Snap Inc. in the MENA region, said: “Our expansion of operations in the Kingdom symbolizes more than just a physical presence; it represents a deeper commitment to enhancing Saudi Arabia’s digital ecosystem. We aim to help supercharge the Kingdom’s creator economy, bolster innovation and encourage the powerful voices that make Saudi Arabia so special. This marks a huge milestone in our journey in KSA, and we look forward to strengthening our connection with Saudi partners and clients in line with the country's digital transformation agenda”. Snap's expanded presence in the Kingdom will also offer businesses opportunities to reach and engage with large, highly engaged audiences. With the number of active advertisers quadrupling in the last three years, Saudi Arabia has emerged as a key market for brands operating in the region. Snap Inc. is committed to providing innovative tools and technologies to help businesses unlock the full potential of this dynamic market.
