A National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member serving in Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State Okebaram Stanley Chimaroke, has been found d3ad.

Chimaroke was a former President of the Student Union Government (SUG) of the Federal Polytechnic Nekede and a Civil Engineering graduate.

The Bayelsa State Police Command had earlier commenced a search operation following his disappearance in Nembe.

Police sources told security analyst Zagazola Makama that the missing case was reported at about 8:40 p.m. on July 25, 2026 by Aribisola Bisi Isaac, a corps member serving in Nembe, accompanied by Adeola Marvelous.

According to the report, the Local Government Inspector informed them that the missing 27-year-old corps member, who was posted to serve in Nembe Creek, was last seen at about 8:00 p.m. on July 24.

The sources said repeated attempts to reach him through his mobile phone numbers were unsuccessful, prompting concerns over his whereabouts.

Following the report, police operatives were mobilised to the creek community, located about 45 minutes by boat from the Nembe Divisional Headquarters, to commence search and investigation.

The police said efforts are ongoing to locate the missing corps member and establish the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

As at the time of filing this report, authorities have not officially confirmed the latest development and exact circumstances surrounding his d3ath.

Speaking to young people, the founder of Living Faith Church said, “BetNaija is not the way to financial fortune,” stressing that genuine success may take time but is more sustainable.

He encouraged the youth to embrace patience and hard work, sharing how he eventually honoured the woman who introduced him to Christianity by buying her a car years after she led him to Christ.

“It may be slow, but it’s sure,” Oyedepo said, urging young people to rethink their pursuit of quick wealth.

The governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared his support for the governorship candidate backed by the Rainbow Coalition that is being led by his predecessor and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

Fubara spoke on Wednesday during the commissioning of the Rivers Medical Industries Project in Port Harcourt, where he endorsed Kingsley Chinda, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as his preferred successor.

“We have made peace in the state, and we have a total agreement. I am supporting our rainbow party, our rainbow coalition. President Bola Tinubu is our president and is the one we are supporting.

OK Chinda is the governorship candidate that I am supporting, and anybody who believes in me will support him and every candidate under the rainbow.

For those of you saying, ‘Fubara, let’s stay, we want to collect something before we run,’ there is nothing to collect. I am already in the family. I have gone back to our family. So please, wherever you are, give your total support to that coalition.”he said

Chinda was declared the winner of the APC governorship primary after polling 268,497 during the exercise in May.

Fubara was initially screened alongside Chinda for the APC governorship primary but later stepped down from the race, saying he made the decision out of conviction and sacrifice for the peace and unity of Rivers state.

The APC screening committee reportedly disqualified several of Fubara’s allies from the Rivers State House of Assembly primaries while clearing aspirants loyal to Wike.

Fubara and Wike had been locked in a prolonged political feud that triggered efforts by lawmakers loyal to the FCT minister to impeach the governor before both camps eventually reached a political truce.

Here are 10 successful mindsets to have today💡

1. Progress > Perfection

Done is better than perfect. Take the first small step instead of waiting for the "right" moment.

2. Ownership Mindset

Stop asking "why is this happening to me?" Start asking "what can I do about it?" You control your response.

3. Long-Term Thinking

Ask: "Will this matter in 1 year?" Skip short-term comforts that **** long-term goals.

4. Curiosity Over Ego

Successful people say "I don't know, teach me." Be willing to learn from anyone — even people younger than you.

5. Solution-Oriented

For every problem, find 2 possible solutions. Complainers get stuck. Builders move.

6. Abundance, Not Scarcity

There's enough success, money, and opportunity to go around. Jealousy blocks you. Collaboration grows you.

7. Discipline > Motivation

Motivation fades by 3pm. Systems and habits keep you going on days you don’t feel like it.

8. Failure = Data

Every "no" and mistake is feedback, not identity. Successful people fail faster and adjust quicker.

9. Energy Management

Protect your sleep, food, and peace. You can’t think clearly or create when you’re burned out.

10. Gratitude + Action

Be grateful for what you have, but don’t get comfortable. Appreciate today while building for tomorrow.

Quick combo for today:

Pick 1 hard thing + do it with discipline + learn something from it + be grateful after.

Which 2 of these do you most need today? We can turn them into actual actions so they don’t just stay as ideas 🤍🪖📌

Let me show you something about integrity that will change how you see success forever 👇

There are two types of successful people in the world:

Type A

Rose to the top by cutting corners, telling lies, stepping on people, and doing whatever it took to win. They have the money, the cars, the followers, and the lifestyle. But they cannot sleep at night. They trust nobody. They are always looking over their shoulder. They know deep down that everything they built could collapse at any moment because it was built on lies.

Type B

Rose to the top slowly and quietly by doing the right thing consistently even when it was hard, even when nobody was watching, and even when integrity cost them something. They have peace. They have genuine relationships. They have a reputation that opens doors money cannot buy. They sleep like a baby every night.

Which type of success do you want? Drop a 👑 if you choose Type B every single time.

You can fake talent. You can fake success. You can fake happiness. You can fake relationships. But you cannot fake integrity forever. Sooner or later who you truly are in private will show up in public. The lies you tell in secret will surface. The corners you cut when nobody is watching will catch up with you. The people you mistreat behind closed doors will eventually speak up. Build your life on integrity because everything else built on a shaky foundation will eventually collapse. What kind of foundation are you building on today? 👇
