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 Dagvin Anderson, said many American troops had already been withdrawn following a May operation in the Lake Chad Basin that killed Abu Bilal al-Minuki, described by US officials as a senior Islamic State leader.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

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

Trump to end “Citizenship By Birth” right as his inauguration draws near

The president-elect of the United States of America has expressed his desire to pardon those engaged in the 2021 US Capitol riot.

Donald Trump will make his imminent return to the White House after being elected for the second during the presidential polls last month.

He assures the American citizenry that the pardon will be issued on his first day in office next month,

In his first broadcast network interview hosted by NBC’s Meet the Press, he said: “These people are living in hell.”

In furtherance, he also expresses his desire to end automatic citizenship for anyone born in the United States, and indicated his desire to work with the Democrats in order to help fish out all undocumented and illegal immigrants brought to the US as children.

Amidst the broad interview on Friday, Trump vowed to reel out “a lot” of executive orders on immigration, energy and economy following his inauguration on 20th January, 2025.

He also pointed that he would love to erect justice department investigation into Joe Biden’s administration, including some of this political enemy and lawmakers who might have had hands in the Capitol riot, and anyone found culpable will jailed.                    Trump To End “Citizenship By Birth” Right

When asked if he would pardon the hundreds of rioters reported to have taken part in the Capitol riot, he said: “We’re going to look at independent cases.”

“Yeah, but I’m going to be acting very quickly. First day,” he added.

The president-elect continues: “You know, by the way, they’ve been in there for years, and they’re in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn’t even be allowed to be open.”

Trump gave a candid response when asked if he would keep the United States in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO): “If they’re paying their bills, and if I think they’re doing a fair – they’re treating us fairly, the answer is absolutely, I’d stay with NATO”

He stated that he was not going to enforce restriction on abortion pills, but when asked to assure the public, he stressed: “Well, I commit. I mean… things change.”

The Republican said that Ukraine should expect less aid from his administration after being inaugurated.

He proposed that he might look to task the scientific researchers to embark on a study if there is any correlation between autism and childhood vaccines−this is an idea which has been stepped down by various studies across the world.

Trump noted that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine sceptic, would be asked to look into the matter.

Reiterating his commitment to ensuring better living for all Americans, Trump said he would not look to cut social security, nor raise its eligibility age, but promised that he would make it more effectual.

When quizzed if his plans to impose more tariffs on imports from top US trading partners would hike purchase prices of imported goods, he said: “I can’t guarantee anything. I can’t guarantee tomorrow”.

On immigration, Trump said, through executive action, he would end the loudly pronounced birthright citizenship, who gives anyone born on the US soil a right to an American passport, even if their parents were not born in the United States.

Citizenship birthright emanates from the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution.

“Citizenship by Birth Right” is enshrined in 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, which stipulates that “all persons” born in the United States “are citizens of the United States.”

“We’re going to have to get it changed,” Trump said. “We’ll maybe have to go back to the people. But we have to end it.”

The president-elects also reassured the public that he would work to deliver on this campaign promises to deport undocumented, illegal immigrants, pointing that even those having US citizens as their family members.

“I don’t want to be breaking up families,” he said, “so the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.”

He also noted that we would work with the Democrats to assist so-called Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who had been concealed under an Obama-era programme, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which he then tried to render obsolete.

“I will work with the Democrats on a plan,” he said, as he disclosed that most of the undocumented immigrants have good jobs and lucrative businesses.

However, he appeared so equivocal on if he would still seek embark on a vengeful mission against his political enemy.

A few days ago, the incumbent and outgoing United States President Joe Biden issues a presidential pardon to his convicted son, Hunter

Also, various news outlets have reported that the president is also considering extending such a magnanimity towards his political allies before he leaves office.

But Trump, on the other hand, has said he will not look to seek instigate special counsel investigation into Biden’s administration and family, as he once pledged.

“I’m not looking to go back into the past,” he said. “I’m looking to make our country successful. Retribution will be through success.”

But he vowed that members of the now-defunct, Democratic-led House of Representatives Committee who staged a political coup against him and investigated him, would go to jail.

Liz Cheney, former Republican congresswoman, threw a jibe at Trump on Sunday following his “go to jail” remark.

She noted that Trump’s comment that the members of the committee would be jailed was a “continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundation of our republic.”

During the NBC interview, Trump also disclosed that he would not task the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to conduct investigations against his political enemy.

But he said: “If they were crooked, if they did something wrong, if they have broken the law, probably.

he conclused: “They went after me. You know, they went after me, and I did nothing wrong.”
