• 🇺🇸🇳🇬 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 Dagvin Anderson, said many American troops had already been withdrawn following a May operation in the Lake Chad Basin that killed Abu Bilal al-Minuki, described by US officials as a senior Islamic State leader.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 role of power dressing in modern times cannot be over-emphasised as even in these modern times, just like in old times, how you dress matters.

Power dressing is more than just a fashion statement but a catalyst for change.

It is beyond donning a suit and making fashion-savvy moves rather, it is believing in the transformative power of fashion.

It is stepping into powerful outfits that can boost your confidence, command respect and showcase your professional prowess and identity.

At the forefront of politics are political heroines who have turned the challenges of power dressing into an opportunity to shine through and through.

This was what went down at the just concluded Democratic National Convention held in Chicago.

We are inspired by political powerhouse women as they took the stage in coveted classic pieces with style, dignity and purpose.

From coordinated looks and colour schemes to a minimalist approach to style, the event witnessed star-studded remarks from  Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Mindy Kaling, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kerry Washington, Amanda Gorman and many more to pledge their support for the nominated presidential candidate.

Delivering her keynote speech to the people as she formally accepted her presidential nomination, Vice President Kamala Harris did so in the most fashionable way wearing a chic power suit in a classic navy custom pantsuit with a bow detail by @chloe.

Her strategic fashion choices are consequential at this period which has raised a whole lot of questions and concerns, with so many views and politics of fashion coming into play.

But perhaps the bigger motivation is that these amazing women all stayed true to their tried and trusted style.

Their choice of clothes tells a story of confidence and performance.

Just to highlight a few we love the fashion-savvy move of this political powerhouse.

We love classics and how these coordinated looks came into play.

From style choices to the colour scheme, perfectly curated style, charm, well-coordinated looks and classic timeless appeal.

There is simply no special narrative to these other than the fact that these women owned their style and as such their personality shines through.

In modern times, power dressing makes you feel confident and more prepared to tackle challenges.

Here are a few cool facts to guide you towards power dressing without frills:

Think of Clothes That Transcend Time:

Build a versatile wardrobe that can stand the test of time by investing in classic timeless styles.

Invest in High-Quality Pieces.

Invest in high-quality classic white shirts, well-tailored suits, good quality shoes and bags are some of your go-to ensembles for that power move.

Incorporate more colours into your wardrobe, and MOVE away from traditional colours like navy, black, grey, red and blue.

Embrace colour-pop outfits and monochromatic ensembles.

Own Your Confidence:

More than using the tools of clothing to build an image, the concept of power dressing embodies transformative power.

We encourage you to settle into it and let your confidence shine through.

Nothing gives off class and style than confidence.

It is apparent that these political powerhouse women exude confidence, charisma and charm that stays true to their style.

We discover that their style choice does not rob them of their strong personality.

Embrace More Tailored Looks:

Tailored looks will always be famous.

The contemporary approach to it has more to do with structures and proportions to create a flattering silhouette.

From well-tailored pantsuits to the well-cut fit, the tailored suit gives off a significant appeal that is always flattering.

A tailored suit is about creating a perfectly structured look that suits your body frame perfectly.

Own Your Style:

Power dressing embodies a personal style that says cool.

Commanding your style choice must never rob you of your strong personality, but it must come from who you are as an individual.

Embrace a chaos-free approach to your style infused with timeless appeal that is quite relatable and kind of resonates with day-to-day style.

Less Is Always More:

Power dressing embodies a personal style that says less is more.

Embrace chaos chaos-free approach to your style and infuse a more relatable less is more approach that resonates with day-to-day style.

Accessories are very important in elevating and enhancing your power dressing.

You can always count on pearl, brooch, wristwatches, scarves and quality structured bags to elevate your ensemble and give you the perfect finishing touch.
