• 🇺🇸🇳🇬 US TO WITHDRAW ABOUT 200 TROOPS FROM NIGERIA BY SEPTEMBER  The United States is preparing to withdraw about 200 military personnel from Nigeria by late September, according to reports citing US military officials.  Smaller teams of American trainers and intelligence personnel are expected to remain in Nigeria as Washington continues its security partnership with the country.  The US deployment, which began earlier this year, focused on intelligence, surveillance, training and counterterrorism support.  US Africa Command Commander, Gen. Dagvin Anderson, said many American troops had already been withdrawn following a May operation in the Lake Chad Basin that killed Abu Bilal al-Minuki, described by US officials as a senior Islamic State leader.  Anderson said the operation significantly weakened ISIS leadership and stressed that intelligence cooperation with Nigeria would continue.  The Pentagon has described the deployment as a model for supporting African partners through a limited military footprint rather than a large permanent presence.  The planned withdrawal therefore does not mean an end to US-Nigeria security cooperation, as Washington is expected to maintain intelligence and training support.  #USNigeria #Nigeria #USMilitary #Security #CounterTerrorism #LakeChad #AFRICOM #Terrorism #NigeriaNews #BreakingNews #Morganable
  • Bangladesh is considering joining the Mecca Pact, a defence agreement involving Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan.  The move could reshape Dhaka’s foreign relations, particularly with neighbouring India, as Bangladesh seeks to strengthen its security ties with key Muslim-majority countries.  However, Bangladesh has not made a final decision on joining the pact.
  • Catastrophic flash flood has swept through communities along the Nepal-Tibet border, killing dozens of people and leaving hundreds missing.  The disaster struck after a massive ice-and-rock avalanche from a glacier collapsed into the Lhende River in Nepal’s Rasuwa district, triggering a powerful surge of water and debris downstream.  A magnitude 4.4 earthquake was recorded in the region shortly before the flood, raising questions over whether the tremor contributed to the glacier collapse. However, authorities say investigations are still ongoing and the exact trigger has not been conclusively established.  The flood destroyed homes, roads, bridges and other infrastructure, while several hydropower projects were also affected.  Rescue operations are underway in both Nepal and Tibet, but damaged roads and difficult mountainous terrain are hampering efforts to reach affected communities.  Authorities are continuing to search for missing people and assess the scale of the destruction.
  • THE MUSIC WORLD MOURNS A LEGEND  DOLLY PARTON DIES AT 80  American singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman and philanthropist Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80.  The legendary country music icon died peacefully in Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, her family confirmed.  Parton leaves behind a remarkable six-decade legacy in music, film, business and philanthropy. She was celebrated worldwide for timeless songs including “Jolene,” “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You.”  Beyond entertainment, she was widely admired for her humanitarian work, particularly her Imagination Library literacy programme, which has provided millions of books to children.  Her death marks the passing of one of the most influential and beloved figures in American music and popular culture.  Dolly Parton was 80.
  • Naja’atu Muhammad Denies Sending Delegation to Apologise to Pantami
Hajiya Naja’atu Muhammad has denied reports that she sent a delegation to Gombe State to apologize to former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, over remarks she previously made about him.  The reports had suggested that Naja’atu Muhammad had taken steps to reconcile with the former minister by sending representatives to Gombe to convey an apology over comments she had earlier made concerning Pantami.  However, she has rejected the claim, describing the report as inaccurate and stressing that she did not authorized any delegation to visit Professor Pantami for such a purpose.  The development comes amid continued public interest in the previous remarks attributed to Naja’atu Muhammad and their implications, particularly given Professor Pantami’s prominent position in Nigeria’s political and public affairs.  Naja’atu’s denial therefore seeks to clarify the circumstances surrounding the alleged meeting and to distance herself from reports suggesting that she had initiated an apology through intermediaries.  She maintained that members of the public should not rely on unverified reports concerning the matter, urging them to distinguish between confirmed information and claims circulating through informal channels.  Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, a former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, remains a prominent figure in Nigeria’s public discourse, particularly on issues relating to technology, digital transformation, governance and national development.
The alleged delegation to Gombe had generated attention because of the personalities involved and the suggestion that it represented an attempt to resolve differences arising from Naja’atu Muhammad’s earlier comments.  With her latest clarification, however, Naja’atu has disputed the account that she sought to apologize to the former minister through representatives.  The controversy underscores the importance of verifying reports involving prominent public figures before they are circulated, particularly where claims of apologies, reconciliations or political engagements are concerned.
  • Tinubu Campaign Team Donates ₦600 Million to JIBWIS National Headquarters for Fortune University Project  The campaign team of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has donated ₦600 million to the National Headquarters of the Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa’iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) in Jos to support the development of Fortune University, a university project being undertaken by the organisation.  The donation was announced during the JIBWIS National Meeting held in Jos on Sunday, where prominent political leaders and other senior personalities were in attendance.  Among those present at the gathering was Senator Barau I. Jibrin, Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, alongside the governors of Kano, Jigawa and Kebbi states, as well as other senior government officials and dignitaries.  The financial support is intended to contribute to the development of the university project at the JIBWIS National Headquarters in Jos, which the organisation has identified as part of its efforts to expand educational opportunities.  The presentation formed part of the activities surrounding the national meeting, which brought together JIBWIS leadership, scholars, political figures and other stakeholders.  The donation also highlights the growing engagement between political actors and religious organisations in supporting educational and community-development initiatives.  Fortune University, being developed under the auspices of JIBWIS, is expected to become an important educational institution in Jos upon completion.  #Jibwis #Sheikhjingir #Izala #Jibwisnationalheadquarters

Michael Ataga: Downside of Side Chicking Ms Chidinma Ojukwu presents a sorry story of a well-successful businessman who was sent to the world beyond by his side chick, Ms Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu. A sad story, indeed.

A profiled man, Mr Michael Osifo Ataga was stabbed to death by a Baby-Faced Assassin, a Prada-Wearing Devil, Ms Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu, somewhere in the eyebrow area of Lagos State.

The Social Media platform is awash with individuals putting up alibis, and defending the young lady.

The conversations have developed into that of rape, non-consensual sexual experience, infidelity, substance abuse, poverty, and taking advantage of a younger person.

However, it appears that some people are suffering from selective amnesia.

They choose to ignore the most important conversation which should be that of MURDER, as in, cold-blooded murder.

If you want to fully grasp the worrying attitude of the public towards the Lady-Culprit, you just need to lay your hand on a Classic by Kate Summerscale titled “The Suspicions of Mr Whicher” or “The Murder At Road Hill House.” As it was then, so it still is, now.

The central conversation here is that  Ms Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu, a 300-level Mass Communication student at the University of Lagos stabbed Osifo Ataga to death.

Her remorseless demeanour is a cause for concern.

I refuse to buy into the well-constructed alibi of the culprit. I disdain the celebrity treatment accorded to her during her public parade.

Why affect a withdrawal from the bank account of someone you just murdered?

We have seen the Nigerian Police Force paraded women in the past for similar offences, so why treat Ms Ojukwu any differently?

I suspect that Mr Ataga might not be the only profiled individual that Ms Ojukwu is romantically involved.

It may well be that some individuals are behind the scenes, ensuring that she has a soft landing and enjoys preferential treatment.

It is not my place to pontificate about what individuals choose to do with their genitalia. It is their private affair.

The important thing is that she is an adult. A 21-year-old Lady. So, we are not talking about paedophilia here.

While I sympathise with the wife and the resultant heartbreak she suffers from all of these playing scenarios and the unwanted publicity, no one, including Mr Ataga deserves to die as a result of promiscuity.

Ms Ojukwu is not a victim. She is the culprit, going by her admission.

We should stop treating her like a victim. She is a cold-blooded murderer.

I understand that she may even plausibly escape the ultimate penalty with a lighter punishment. That is not a problem as long as she’s processed and subjected to the appropriate judicial process.

We cannot rely on her single story when the other party is no more to defend himself. It is foolhardy to believe her story, just like that.

If the circumstance was flipped and it was Mr Ataga who killed Ms Ojukwu, by now, the drum of #justice4chindinmaojukwu would have assumed an inconvenient decibel but because the victim is a man, he should die anyway.

To some, he deserves to die. To some, he must have done something worthy of death. So, people are not speaking out against his murder.

I even read somewhere where a lady justified the killing and the theft by saying that “a hungry lioness would do anything in a lean Savannah, and that the lady should be excused. She rounded it up by saying that she was being pragmatic.” What a folly?

Some folks believe her because they see it as a convenient way of getting back at a man who betrayed his wife, but should that be the case?

The case of murder cannot be taken with levity just because we disapprove of the actions of the victim.

Justice should, and must be served.

Michael Ataga: Downside of Side Chicking Ms Chidinma Ojukwu

Who is Ms Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu? 

Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu, 21, was born on the 3rd of March 2000, is a part-time 300-level undergraduate Mass Communication student at the University of Lagos.

She has been officially confirmed as the suspect in the killing of Michael Osifo Ataga, the CEO of Super TV and her Sugar Daddy.

Up till the time of the incident, Ms Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu was living with her Father at Alagomeji, Yaba, Lagos. It appears that her parents are not living together, at the time of the incident.

Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu hails from Arochukwu, in Abia State, South-East part of Nigeria.

She is Igbo by tribe.

Her father was said to have resisted the arrest of Chidinma by the Police when the cold hands of the law came calling for her.

He was remanded at the Panti Police Station and has since been released.

It should also be noted that while Ms Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu is reportedly a 300 Level Mass Communication Student at the University of Lagos, feelers coming out of the school suggest that she has not been attending lectures or partaking in semester assessments.

Michael Ataga: Downside of Side Chicking Ms Chidinma Ojukwu

In a video released by a Youtuber with the page – “Grow With Me” shared on the Facebook page – “Favour Pretty” on the 25th of June 2021 at 1:41 pm GMT, the anchor stressed that a Lecturer at the part-time wing of the Department of Mass Communication at the University of Lagos argued that the last time Ms Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu attended classes was in 2019, and precisely prior to the emergence of the global pandemic, coronavirus. 

This goes to show that Ms Ojukwu is not such a dutiful and diligent student who happened to stray, afterall.

Not at all. 

Such testimonial coming from her school’s department shows that she is an unserious student who seems bent on pursuing comfort and riches, at all costs. 

If she could be engaging in prolonged truancy, how then do we excuse the murder committed by her, as out of character?

This was further buttressed by a Lagos State Adviser, Dare Adelekan, who argued that “Chidinma Adaora Ojukwu, planned to murder Michael Usifo Ataga.

She booked the short-service apartment on June 13, 2021, ahead of her sinister plan,” 

“She was the one who ordered the roofies they took. The anonymous dispatch rider who delivered the drug may be an accomplice.” 

How many Ms Ojukwu do we still have out there? 

How many of her accomplices are still out there? 

I sincerely hope that the Nigerian Police Force can get to the root of the matter and expose all the hidden dimensions of this particular case.

May God comfort the Atagas. May God have mercy on Ms Ojukwu and may justice prevail, where all else fails.
