• 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.

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

Kano—


Popular singers, Teni Makanaki and Ice Prince, have opened up on the physical and mental demands of their weight loss journeys.


Teni  sparked conversations online during the weeks when she responded to fans  who criticized her slimmer appearance conversations online during the week after responding to critics who questioned her slimmer physique.


The reactions followed a video she shared with Olamide to promote their new song, Zion. In the video, Teni wore a fitted red outfit, with gold chains and styled with bantu knots, making her slimmer frame more noticeable than the oversized looks she is often associated with.


An X user, Otunba Bini, expressed concern over her appearance, posting “Should we be concerned about Teni’s size or should we mind our business? How Teni went from plus size to this present size that looks summarised is something that I think should be concerning.”she stated
Reacting,the artist wrote, “If you know wetin I face to lose this weight, you go happy for me.”

The  singer had previously addressed speculations surrounding her transformation, stating that she did not undergo surgery. She further noted that she achieved the results naturally through exercise and a strict diet plan.


In a similar vein, Ice Prince also spoke on his body transformation while announcing the release of his latest album days later.

Sharing details of his weight loss routine on Instagram, the rapper listed habits he adopted, including cutting out sugar, alcohol, soda, bread and pasta, quitting smoking, regular exercise, daily walks, healthier meals and maintaining consistent sleep patterns.


“Ginger tea, green tea or black coffee daily. OMAD four times a week and TWOMAD three times weekly. 50 % protein, 30 % vegetables, and 20 % carbohydrates. 10pm bedtime, six to seven hours of sleep, 1 hour read daily, chew gum, and mind my business. I have never tried, nor had any interest in trying any drug, substance, or supplement in my life. New album out tomorrow” he posted

Their revelations have since sparked conversations online, with many fans praising their discipline, while others debated the pressures celebrities face over body image and appearance.


Ice Prince had earlier spoken about his weight loss journey in January, stressing that any guy who eats breakfast is a “Barbie”


Speaking on the Echo Room podcast, Ice Prince said his decision to take fitness seriously followed a conversation with producer Chopsticks in early 2025.


He recalled Chopsticks telling him that for the next album, “we need to give them a new look, we need to lose the belly, grow the beard,” a remark the rapper said “just sunk in a way that I had never heard before.

He also shared another statement from Chopsticks that shaped his approach: “Everything that goes into your mouth is supposed to be medicine; everything that goes into your mouth should play a role in your body.


Bimbo Fires At Street Boys In Lagos.
Nollywood actress and producer Bimbo Ademoye has challenged street extortion after a clash with suspected area boys, who disrupted a film shoot, insisting that creatives should not be coerced into paying arbitrary fees to operate.


The actress was seen in a viral video challenging a group of men who allegedly demanded a fixed payment before allowing a  film shooting to continue at a location.
Ademoye, vehemently rejected the demand and made it clear she would not be pressured.


Speaking in Yoruba, she declared: “Omo Igboro ni mi” (I am a child of the streets), portraying her familiarity with such situations while drawing a line against what she described as an entitlement.

The actress further questioned the basis of the demand, insisting no individual has the authority to impose payments on her or her team.


Expressing her distress in Yoruba,Adeyemo said “Ko si iyalaya anybody to sise owo si mi lowo” — meaning ‘Nobody has the right to forcefully demand money from me’.


Ademoye had earlier last month addressed claims that she uses emotional displays to promote her films.


Reacting to the allegations, she maintained that her reactions are genuine and rooted in the realities of filmmaking.

She stressed that her projects require significant personal investment, both financially and emotionally, rejecting suggestions that her tears are a calculated marketing strategy.


“Don’t do that. Am I supposed to be battling people over stealing my film title and thumbnail? Do you think I just pick people’s pictures and merge them together? I organise proper photoshoots. I still pay for thumbnails and posters, only for someone to steal my hard work. Then someone says this is a strategy. What bloody strategy?” she said


Portable Welcomes Baby Boy
Controversial and  Nigerian singer Portable has announced the birth of a baby boy by his wife , Omobewaji Ewatomi, simply known as Bewaji.


The news was first shared on Friday by Bewaji via Instagram, where she expressed gratitude for a safe delivery.

“Alhamdullillah,” she wrote, while also tagging what appears to be the newborn’s Instagram page, which identifies the child as Jamal Iremide.


Portable also took to social media to celebrate the arrival of his son, offering appreciation to Bewaji for the new addition to his family. “God bless you more, Omoleye Omobewaji mi. Thanks for making me happy,” he wrote


The birth coincided with the singer’s loss to Carter Efe in a celebrity boxing match decided by unanimous decision. Portable said he’s not bothered about the defeat stressing that he found greater joy in welcoming his child than in winning the bout


“Have given birth, congratulations to me. I thought I would carry a belt, but I carried my child instead. You can buy a belt with money, but you can’t buy a child,” he said.

“While my wife was in labour, I was fighting. She gave birth to a boy. I wanted a third belt for my children; I already have two. I have given birth, you can have the belt.”


The newborn is the third child shared by Portable and Bewaji. The singer had previously stirred reactions in 2022 after revealing plans to have 12 wives before the age of 40.
