The Three Kings Military Force (TKMF) was owned by retired Col. Olatunde Paul Beckley. It was a private military company that provides armed combat or security services for financial gain.
TKMF carries out many different missions and jobs for private organizations and the government. The services and expertise offered by TKMF are typically similar to those of governmental security, military, or police forces, most often on a smaller scale.
They are hired by private companies to provide bodyguards for their key staff or protection of company premises, especially in hostile territories both in and outside the country.
TKMF are hired to guard natural resources such as oil refineries and their areas. They secure officials and government affiliates and they provide services to train or supplement official armed forces in service of governments.
Several times each year, TKMF was contracted to conducts exercises to test the performance of the relevant components of state and territory police forces. They also carry out annual training courses for police tactical group members from each state and territory.
Each year, each state and territory sends selected members of the police force to participate in a concentrated three-week course and training in advanced combat skills and to strengthen standards of policing in urban counter-terrorist tactics. It also ensures that all states are training consistently to the same codes and standards of counter-terrorism.
Tunde was already at the TKMF base as early as 6 am to have a meeting with all security contractors that would be actively involved in the physical training of all participants and to make sure everything was already in place for the training.
All the trainees had arrived the previous day and admitted into their various hostels. Different obstacle courses have been erected on different parts of the field in readiness for the training to start.
Wearing his army fatigue that fitted like a glove and a Ray-Ban Aviator Classic to protect his eyes from the sun and dust, he was ready to actively partake as a trainer alongside his contractors. By 7 am he stepped on the podium to address the trainees that were already gathered in rows on the large field.
"Trainees!..." his voice boomed out from the speaker as he addressed them
"Hope you arrived very prepared for the next three weeks training course?...because what you are about to go through in this training is physically and mentally demanding and you will experience stress that will test your limits.
In this training, you will learn:-
Self-discipline
Physical fitness
Hand-to-hand combat skills and weapons training
Proper teamwork
Night training
How to perform first aid
Advanced rifle marksmanship.
How to rappel down a long steep surface.
Chemical training confidence exercises
Proper hand signaling during low profile operations
How to recognize and disabled different explosive devices
You will learn how to properly engage targets, maintain your weapon, and use periphery technology, including night vision and laser sighting.
In addition, you would be expected to navigate obstacle courses and rappel from a 50-foot structure, known as the Warrior Tower.
Death might happens during training. Sometimes a person's heart just quits even seemingly healthy ones. Even though we will never push you beyond your limits, know that if you cannot meet our limits then it's a pity
If you advance past the final phase, you will be eligible to wear our Black Elite Badge which tells you apart from the rest of the police force, so I hope you would be among the few once that would receive the Black Elite Badge at the end of this training... Good luck!"

After six hours of intense physical fitness training, the senior drill instructor shouted the trainees five minutes of water and bathroom break people
Tunde walked to his office to be able to call Abby without interruption. His heart almost burst out of happiness when he heard her voice over the phone.
[Hey baby.]
[I got your message and I love you too Queen]

The Nouveau School of fashion and Design frowns on tardiness, especially from the final year students. Some student calls The Noveau a glorified high school because of their many rules, strictness on rules and punishments.
Some high schools are even lax on rules compared to the Noveau. It doesn't matter who you are in the society, all students are expected to be in school before lectures start by 9 am prompt. If you are late, you will be punished, that's the rule.
Abby who was already in her final semester at the Noveau was already behind time after dropping her mom at the airport. When she got back home, she quickly packed an overnight bag, grabbed her school stuff before calling for Uber to take her to school.
When she arrived at the lecture hall, the time was three minutes past nine, the students were all settled down and the lecturer was about to start lecturing.
Because she came late, Abby was asked to stand at a corner and listen to the lecture for thirty minutes out of the two hours lecture duration before she was allowed to join the rest of the class.
As soon as the lecture ended, she grabbed Dupe's arm excitedly...
"Guess what...?"
"I suspected you had something on your mind when you had that silly grin all over your face."
"What silly grin?" Abby asked while still smiling
"That one..." Dupe indicated towards Abby's face.
"What?... I'm smiling, how is that silly?"
"You look silly when you had it plastered all over your face all through Dr. Layi's lecture. The lecture was boring but you smiled all through. You're supposed to sleep through a boring lecture not smile through it."
"I did?..." She asked, smiling with a distant faraway look on her face.
"Yeah you did and you're doing it again. That dreamy, silly grin is all over your face right now. Look just tell me what happened, I don't want to guess..."
Her phone rang then and she answered: [Hey baby...]
"Omg, I should have guessed..." Dupe said as soon as Abby was done talking on the phone and hugged her tight.
"Finally, no more therapies right?"
"No! No more therapies. I have a boyfriend now and I can bear his touch" She had a huge grin on her face "...and he loves me."
