NYC bouncers just may have a new way to crack down on fake IDs: Give prospective bar-hoppers a pop quiz about their birth year. The innovative age-verification system comes courtesy of tonight’s “ Middle of the Night Show ” — specifically, host Brian “Murph” Murphy bringing a very sleepy Adam Pally out to a bar during the wee hours for a game called “Battle of the Bouncers.” Standing outside the establishment, Murph laid out the rules: “Half the people in this line are over 21 and half of them are below,” he explained. “We’ll be taking turns to decide who gets in and who doesn’t.

President of the foundation, Mr Jake Epelle, made the allegation at a news conference in Abuja.

"The history of it is that it was agreed that we are going to be treated and then the Federal Government will pick up the bills, contrary to some of the expressions we have heard, like the foundation is owing the National Hospital.
