• 🇺🇸🇳🇬 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 Dagvin Anderson, said many American troops had already been withdrawn following a May operation in the Lake Chad Basin that killed Abu Bilal al-Minuki, described by US officials as a senior Islamic State leader.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

The effect of inflation on fashion brands has led to increased prices of clothing and accessories, affecting consumer purchasing power.

It is practically impossible to scroll through the internet without coming across conversations that sparks interest.

Giving the current market environment, fashion brands are passing on all these cost to consumers whose budget has already been compressed.

Fashion consumers on the other hand are now looking for cost effective alternatives.

The reality of the economic situation worsens, as the cost of production is outrageous.

From electricity to rent, tailors, logistics and branding amongst other things that are ridiculously expensive are all factored into retail.

THE REALITY OF THIS  ECONOMIC SITUATION WORSENS AS THE COST OF PRODUCTION IS OUTRAGEOUS. FROM ELECTRICITY TO RENT, TAILORS, LOGISTICS, BRANDING AMONGST OTHER THINGS THAT ARE RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE ARE ALL FACTORED INTO RETAIL

The price point of fashionable items keeps soaring.

To provide an insight, I discover that the price of a statement dress or two piece set from some fashion brands is near to the cost of a bag of rice while other fashionable items can climb up as high as the cost of a plot of land in some places.

The question is, has fashion taken a backseat for many people? Well! Depending on your status, preference, expendable cash and the way fashion resonates with you, there are quiet a number ‘’expensive’’  fashion brands and those that are ‘’reasonably’’ priced.

You just need to find the one that can cater to your need and pocket.

In recent times, it has become increasingly challenging for many people to keep up with fashion as brands are increasing their prices faster than the cost of everything else thanks to inflation, high cost of materials, production cost amongst others.

In all of these things going on, there is high increase in the popularity of fashion brands that offer more competitive price, lifting some sort of financial burden off consumers.

These brands are popping up for such a time as this with lower price points, no wonder their success rate is high.

We figured that when you are able to provide reasonably priced fashionable pieces to consumers, it becomes possible for them to shop and keep up with being fashionably stylish.

THERE IS HIGH INCREASE IN THE POPULARITY OF FASHION BRANDS THAT OFFER MORE COMPETITIVE PRICE LIFTING SOME SORT OF FINANCIAL BURDEN OFF CONSUMERS.

Gone are the days when some people assume that tailored outfits are for the down trodden.

In this dispensation, some of these fashion brands churn out amazing designs.

We have tailored outfit that are considered luxury because they are artisanal and have a level of craftsmanship  that went into the process.

With tailored outfit, you get the right fit and your fashionable pieces are tailored to your taste.

There are a larger percentage of people who are still keeping up with beauty standard.

It is cost effective, you can shop for them on and off the rack but remember that  budget sensitivity is at an all time high.

The Effect Of Inflation On Fashion Brands

What I find really interesting is for the fact that you would expect that with the current economic reality, fashion will take a backseat for many.

There is rise in consumerism and consumers are still splurging on shoes, dresses and even though they are much more expensive compared to previous years when inflation has not eaten deep into everything.

That is to tell you that fashion has not taken a back string and no cost is too much for some people to splurge on fashionable items.

Here are few nuggets on cost effective approach to shopping:

1. For every luxury brands there are tons of reputable and reasonably priced fashion brands.

Imagine what the world will look if every like if there are no fashion brands that offer good quality, fashionable, trendy and reasonable priced goods, boring right?

Cost conscious behavior is everywhere.

We give props to brands who offer quality alternatives that are marginally cheaper.

This will take away some significant financial burden off many and making it possible to achieve their dream of been fashionable stylish.

2. Go for tailored outfit: this will reduce cost and give you the perfect fit you desire.

Look around you, find creative artisans to churn out beautiful stylish outfits for you.

By so doing, you have cut cost and reduce the bait of inflation on your style budget.

3. Get creative with your style: the truth remains that you do not need to splurge on clothes every time.

With this current economy and rising inflation, it is time to get creative with your style.

You can achieve this by pairing your outfits together by either matching color of styling differently from what you are used to.

4. Repeat your outfit: one of the ways to be cost conscious in this economy, aside shopping fashionable pieces often is embracing outfit repetition. Wear and re-wear your outfits again and again.
