Nigerian government has ordered 50 fighter jets.

 

According to Punch, FG announced that the jets would bolster its anti-banditry operations as the 50 new aircraft is scheduled to arrive between now and next year.

 

This will help the country strengthen security efforts in the North-West region and across Nigeria as terrorists occupied the Kainji National Park in Niger State.

 

The Chief of Air Staff, Marshal Bala Abubakar, disclosed on Wednesday that the air fleet would include 12 AH-1 attack helicopters, 24 M-346 attack aircraft, 12 Augusta Westland 109 helicopters and two Casa 295 medium airlift aircraft.

 

Abubakar stated this during the inauguration of new facilities at the 213 Forward Operational Base in Katsina State.

 

The facilities include a taxiway link, two aircraft hangars, operation and engineering buildings, a perimeter fence and a football pitch.

 

Expressing gratitude to the federal and state governments for their support in combating banditry, the air chief praised NAF personnel for their dedication to maintaining peace and security in the region.

 

He said, “We are also mindful that the remnants of insurgents from Borno and Yobe states would be considering the option of moving back to Adamawa through the border towns in this regard, the Nigerian Air Force is intensifying its inner surveillance with a view to taking a decisive military action when required to prevent the re-emergence of insurgents activities in the state.

“Let me use this opportunity to inform your excellency that the Nigerian Air Force is expecting 50 brand new aircraft in its inventory in the next one and a half to two years. And I intend to station some of them right here in Yola.”

 

Also on Thursday, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, received two newly acquired helicopters at the  Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

 

The PUNCH reports that the two new Bell UH-1H helicopters touched down in the country at about 4:30 pm.

 

The two helicopters are meant to be used for logistics, surveillance, training and casualty evacuation among others.

Lagbaja said, “We are on a learning curve in the aviation business. We hope it will be a pleasant experience that will give our troops flexibility in the field and enhance our operational successes.

“The Nigerian Army is poised to serve the nation better with the acquisition of these platforms. We shall overcome and give our people the enabling environment for economic prosperity. ”

 

Lagbaja noted that the Army had nurtured the desire to have an aviation wing since 1984, expressing delight that the dream had finally materialised with the acquisition of the two helicopters.

 

He said, “Aviation has always been a game-changer, and that informs the decision for the Nigerian Army to strive to acquire platforms towards the actualisation of the dream of having an army aviation arm since 1984.

 “Today that dream has been actualised. We expect that the support that will be provided to the troops in the field with the acquisition of this utility helicopter, in terms of casualty evacuation, and the supply and insertion of troops in critical areas, will have greater flexibility and improve operational efficiency in the field. “

 

The Coordinator,  Nigerian Army Aviation, Brig. Gen. M.S. Alkali said the helicopters would strengthen the Army’s reconnaissance, surveillance, and air mobility capabilities.

 

“As we integrate these platforms into our operations, let us also remember that the true strength of our aviation lies in the skilled and courageous personnel who operate and maintain these machines. Their professionalism, dedication, and expertise are the bedrock upon which our success is built,” he said.

 

In a new report released on Wednesday, the Clingendael Institute, a Dutch think tank, said there was ample evidence that Islamist terrorists from the Sahel region had crossed into Nigeria through the Benin Republic border.

 

The jihad fighters were said to have settled in Kebbi State and the Kainji National Park, turning the facility into their base.

 

Reacting to the report, the Director, Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Edward Buba, said the military was not slowing down in its campaign against terrorists across the country.

 

He noted that the objective of the military operations across the country was to destroy the terrorists wherever they were.

 

Buba said, “The military is fighting the terrorists wherever they exist across the country. Indeed, troops of Operation Whirl Punch are conducting operations in terrorist enclaves in North Central which includes Kainji Lake Park.

“Additionally, troops of Operation Hadarin Daji are equally doing the same to terrorists in Kebbi State and the west of the country. The objective of our operations is to destroy these terrorists and dismantle their military capabilities so citizens are safe and protected.”

Liberal TV Hosts Mock Pregnant Tiffany Trump, but Barron Trump Shuts Them Up for Good! –

Published

By

 

The bright lights of a television studio shined as three popular TV hosts sat at their desk, smiling into the camera. But what they said next shocked the world. They mocked Tiffany Trump—calling her a gold digger, saying she was like her mother, and laughing at the fact that she was pregnant. One of the hosts even said, “Just imagine another Trump in the world.” Millions of viewers watched in silence. Some were angry. Some were hurt. Others turned off their TVs.

But no one was more upset than Baron Trump.

Baron, Tiffany’s younger brother, was sitting in the White House. He clenched his jaw and stared at the screen. His hands gripped his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Tiffany had always been kind to him. She had always supported him. And now, people were laughing at her on national television…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

A security guard nearby noticed something was wrong. “Sir, is everything okay?” he asked.

Baron stood up, tall and serious. “No,” he said. “It’s not.”

For years, Baron had stayed quiet. The world knew him as the quiet son of former President Donald Trump. But this time, he refused to stay silent. He took out his phone, pressed record, and spoke clearly and powerfully.

“You disgust me,” Baron said to the TV hosts. “Mocking my sister. Calling her mother names. You sit behind a desk and think you can say anything you want. You don’t know my family. You don’t know my sister. And you definitely don’t know me.”

He posted the video online. Within minutes, it went viral. People around the world watched as Baron stood up for his sister with strength and intelligence. The hashtag #BaronDefendsTiffany started trending. Millions praised him for speaking the truth.

The TV hosts didn’t expect this. They thought no one would speak out. But Baron’s calm but firm response left them speechless. Still, they tried to fight back. One host went back on air and said, “Baron Trump is just another spoiled rich kid throwing a tantrum.”

Baron watched quietly. Then he made a decision.

“I want to sue them,” he told his father’s legal team.

The lawyers got to work. Soon, headlines spread across the internet: Baron Trump Sues TV Network for Defamation.

But Baron wasn’t finished. He held a press conference and spoke directly to the American people.

“This isn’t about politics,” Baron said. “It’s about human decency. When did it become okay to attack a pregnant woman on television?”

His message was clear. It wasn’t just about his sister—it was about all people who are treated unfairly by the media. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The video of his speech broke records. Over 100 million people watched. People cried. Some who had once criticized the Trump family admitted they were wrong. Even celebrities praised Baron for his courage.

The network that aired the cruel segment panicked. Advertisers pulled out. Ratings dropped. They offered Baron a large amount of money to drop the lawsuit.

But Baron said no.

“I don’t care about money,” he told his lawyers. “I want a public apology. On air. The same way they mocked my sister.”

And he got it.

The same TV hosts who had laughed at Tiffany were now on camera, apologizing to her and her family. Tiffany sat in the front row, wiping away tears. Baron sat beside her, calm and proud.

But some media outlets still tried to twist the story. Baron refused to back down. He pushed the lawsuit to court. During the trial, one of the hosts admitted they had lied. The judge ruled in Baron’s favor. The network had to pay millions and the hosts were suspended.

On the courthouse steps, Baron spoke to the world again.

“This isn’t about revenge,” he said. “It’s about truth. It’s about justice.”

Tiffany stood beside him. “My brother stood up for me when no one else would,” she said, tears in her eyes.

Baron became a symbol of truth and courage. He donated all the money from the lawsuit to help others who had suffered from media lies. People across the country called him “The Protector.”

One week. That’s all it took to change everything.

Baron Trump—once the quiet youngest son of a president—had become a powerful voice for justice.

Study shows Trump suffers from Biden Derangement Syndrome –

Published

By

 

NBC News looked into how often former President Donald Trump has talked about President Joe Biden, his family, or his time in office. Since Trump took office again, he has brought up Biden in speeches or social media posts about 580 times. That means he talks about Biden around six times every day.

On the other hand, during the first 100 days of his presidency, Biden only mentioned Trump 29 times.

Trump often blames Biden for most of the problems happening in the country. He says Biden is at fault for things like high egg prices, inflation, immigration issues, and the overall economy. Whenever Trump speaks publicly, he usually finds a way to criticize Biden, even though Biden has mostly stayed out of the spotlight since he left the White House in January.

NBC News also reported that Trump is showing no signs of slowing down in how much he focuses on Biden. He’s using all the tools available to him as president to keep talking about Biden. His team and advisors are also helping by bringing up Biden regularly…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has talked about Biden 78 times during just 16 press briefings. In fact, she mentioned Biden 37 times without even being asked about him—just during her opening comments. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Trump often says that people who keep talking about him suffer from something he calls “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” But some liberal commentators have flipped that idea, saying Trump might actually have “Biden Derangement Syndrome” because he talks about Biden so much.

Political analyst Steve Benen from MSNBC recently wrote that while not many people used the term “Biden Derangement Syndrome” during Biden’s presidency, it now seems like Trump might be showing serious signs of it, and nothing is being done to stop it.

Trump might be trying to shift blame for the struggling stock market and fears of a recession onto Biden. But recent polls suggest many people aren’t buying that argument. In a CBS News survey, 54% of those asked said Trump’s policies were to blame for the current state of the economy. Only 21% blamed Biden, while 20% said both were responsible, and 5% said neither of them was to blame.

Qatar Emir BLOCKS Putin’s Way at the Kremlin What Happened Next Left Everyone Stunned (Video) –

An unusual and light-hearted moment stole the spotlight during a high-profile visit at the Kremlin this week. Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, accidentally blocked Russian President Vladimir Putin’s path as leaders moved through the grand corridors of Moscow’s most powerful political building.

It happened in just a few seconds. As President Putin was walking towards a meeting room, the Emir unknowingly stepped directly into his way. Putin, known for his reserved and formal style, stopped for a brief moment, waiting for the path to clear. Realizing what had happened, Sheikh Tamim quickly turned around, flashed a polite smile, and offered a sincere apology.

Observers nearby caught the small but noticeable exchange. Putin responded with a brief nod and a slight smile, accepting the apology without any fuss. Both leaders then continued walking, and the meetings went ahead as planned. But even as the day unfolded with important political talks, that tiny human moment became the story people couldn’t stop talking about…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Videos of the encounter quickly spread across social media, gathering thousands of comments and shares. Many viewers were charmed by the rare glimpse of everyday human behavior between two world leaders, usually surrounded by tight security, rigid protocol, and serious faces. Some users joked that even the world’s most powerful men aren’t immune to small, awkward accidents, while others praised both leaders for handling the situation with grace and humor.

Beyond the light drama, the Emir’s visit to Moscow carried major diplomatic weight. Sheikh Tamim and President Putin sat down for long discussions covering a range of urgent international topics. Top of the agenda was the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the political future of Syria. They also discussed ways to deepen economic and energy cooperation between Qatar and Russia. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Both sides emphasized that peaceful negotiation and dialogue remain essential in solving today’s toughest global problems. They agreed to keep working closely together on efforts to promote stability, especially in the Middle East, where Qatar has often played the role of a trusted mediator between countries at odds.

Qatar has quietly built a reputation over the years as a nation skilled in diplomacy. The Emir’s trip to Moscow highlighted how Doha continues to grow its influence far beyond the Gulf region. Qatar’s ability to speak with many sides, from Western powers to regional groups, has made it a key player in efforts to ease tensions and broker peace.

By the end of the visit, officials on both sides praised the meetings as productive and positive. But for many people watching around the world, it was that unscripted, very human moment at the start of the day that left the biggest impression. It served as a reminder that even at the highest levels of global politics, simple human gestures — a quick “sorry” and a polite nod — can sometimes steal the scene.

The day at the Kremlin was supposed to be about serious diplomacy. Instead, it also gave the world a brief and unexpected glimpse into the lighter side of leadership.
