U.S. Air Force Shows Strong Commitment to End Boko Haram

0
The U.S. Air Force has shown their strong commitment to target terrorist groups in Africa, especially Boko Haram. 

This was disclosed in a statement by General James Hecker, the commander of the U.S. Air Forces, Europe, and Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA). He said that the U.S. Air Force will target Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in Africa.

This follows the first airstrike order by President Donald Trump to bomb ISIS and other terrorist groups in Somalia.

Pete Hegseth, the US Secretary of Defense, shared more details about the airstrikes targeting the terrorist groups in Somalia.

Hecker, while speaking during the digital news conference at the 2025 African Air Chiefs’ Symposium (AACS), on Wednesday, said that terrorist groups such as ISIS, Boko Haram, and others that threaten the African continent and the American people have become high-value targets for the United States to carry out coordinated airstrikes against them.

He said the same fate will meet them as the terrorists in Somalia met recently from the hands of the U.S. Air Force.

“They are significant high-value targets that threaten African nations and threaten the United States. “So we will continue to go after terrorist organisations that threaten our African partners as well as the United States.

“Well, I think, as you know, the U.S. government has provided training and equipment to Nigeria for quite a while, so hopefully that will help them out.

“But what we’re looking at in this conference is not that. We’re not talking about air superiority or conflict.

“We’re talking about how we can help each other—African nations can help one another—and that’s what the goal of this conference is.”

Although this vow by the U.S. Air Force comes as a surprise, just recently, a serving U.S. Congressman claimed that USAID is behind the funding to terrorist groups in Nigeria, which amounts to $697 million.

Gasperini & Lookman’s Rift: Atalanta Owners Want Peace

Gasperini and Lookman
The recent rift between Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman and his manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, after Lookman missed a crucial penalty in the Champions League match against Club Brugge, is set for a peace talk set up by the Club’s owners. 

Gasperini openly criticized Lookman in the media after he missed the penalty against Club Brugge. This prompted a follow up response from the Super Eagles forward that clearly explained his decision to take the penalty as well as the disappointment in the coach’s words.

The club owners are looking to intervene in the rift between player and coach at the team’s training today.

Follow the NaijaEyes Blog for more updates on WhatsApp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GxfCtlAzWSMAtz92Gn6fws 

However, this doesn’t take away the club’s elimination from the Champions League in the knockout playoffs. As Atalanta lost 2-1 to Brugge in Belgium, only to return back to Italy and still be losing at halftime by 3-0.

Lookman came in the second half and scored within 36 seconds before missing the crucial penalty that would have given the Italian side a boost of qualifying.

Atalanta’s coach, Gasperini, couldn’t hold back after the match and openly criticized Lookman, calling him the “worst taker he’s ever seen.”

Ademola Lookman didn’t take it lightly, as his response hit back at Gasperini as “disrespectful” and “hurtful.”

Atalanta’s club owners, President Antonio Percassi and his son, CEO Luca Percassi, will be at the club’s training facility in Zingonia today for talks between the two.

Former Juventus and Italian Legendary forward, Alessandro Del Piero, has made his stand with Lookman. He said he would act the same if his own coach left him out to dry like that.

Although rumors are already suggesting that Lookman may be on his way out of the club by summer to a club that will treat him better.

TCN Logo
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has recently announced that the country’s power generation has reached a new peak of 5,543.20 megawatts when recorded on Friday, 14th February, 2025.

This surpasses the previous power generation recorded on Thursday, 13th February, 2025, at a value of 5,478.73 MW.

The company announced in a statement, saying, “This surpasses the previous peak of 5,478.73 MW recorded on Thursday, February 13, 2025.

“Notably, the new Maximum Daily Energy of 125,159.48 MWH is the highest ever recorded in the nation’s electricity industry, exceeding the previous record of 121,674.88 MWH on February 7, 2025, by 3,484.60 MWH.

“TCN successfully transmitted the new peak generation and maximum daily energy to the distribution companies’ load centers nationwide for onward distribution to their customers.”

Despite achieving this feat in power generation by the TCN and the generating companies, Nigerians are yet to see 24 hours of having constant power supply, the national grid collapsing every eke market day, debts unpaid, and other issues.

The video went viral on X, previously Twitter, wherein the suspects were bound to the ground as residents took turns interrogating them.

In the video, one of the alleged kidnappers came out to say that his name was Ifeanyi from Anambra State, and the alleged leader concurred with the nickname, saying, “Davido is my nickname. I came to kidnap.” The other two kidnappers claimed to be from Kwara and Imo states, respectively.

Dangote’s Fortune Doubles to N36trn—Back in Top 100!

Dangote’s Fortune Doubles to N36trn—Back in Top 100!

Over the last one year, Robert has regarded his $20bn Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Lagos. With Nigeria gaining publicity from the refinery, Dangote’s personal smirk seems to be coming back dear to him; indeed, Forbes claims that the man from various oil and, more recently, petro-chemicals-only sectors are less than the oil mafia had termed with reference to the monolithic institution.

Considered as African richest man by Forbes on Tuesday, the Nigerian entrepreneur achieved a rank from number 144 in 2024 to number 86 in the richest men on earth as his wealth grew from $13.4 billion to $23.9 billion.

The Forbes valuation of $23.9 billion was sharply impacted by his 92.3% ownership of Dangote refinery.

Dangote
Dangote

Once again, Dangote, who is aged 67, enters among the top 100 richest individuals on the earth, a position he has not seen since the year 2018, according to the real-time billionaire compensation list by Forbes.

This is well beyond South African Johann Rupert, ranked 161 in the world with an estimated worth of $14.4 billion, and Mike Adenuga-the second richest in Nigeria and 481st in the world, with $6.8 billion.

The massive refinery Dangote is building is one that could be said to have put paid to the government’s oil monopoly. He built this refinery facing serious challenge from the ones he called the oil mafia.

Dangote
Dangote

The Dangote Refinery is to be found on a vast expanse of land measuring 6,200 acres in the Lekki Free Zone: it will, at full capacity, process a remarkable 650,000 barrels per day (b/d), further ranking it as the seventh-largest refinery in the world and the largest in Africa. Notably, the adjoining petrochemical complex of the refinery has an annual production capacity of urea worth 3 million metric tons, making it Africa’s largest fertiliser producer.

The immediate impact of the Dangote Refinery is seen on the global energy market. Vortexa energy intelligence has suggested that petroleum imports into Nigeria are poised to witness an 8-year low, thereby affecting European refiners who have been primarily selling in Nigeria.

Further evidence from S&P Global indicates that Nigeria has become a net exporter of jet fuel, naphtha (a solvent in varnishes, laundry soaps, and cleaning fluids), and fuel oil.

Dangote views the refinery as part of a broader vision to build Nigeria-a top crude oil producer in the world into a major refined petroleum products producer that can compete with the refineries in Europe while supplying gasoline to the Nigerian consumers.

Dangote
Dangote

It was an impetus to an industrial blueprint for Africa,” the man says to Forbes. “We have to build our nation by ourselves. We have to build our continent by ourselves, not foreign investment.” Indeed, Africa has long been “a mere dumping ground for finished products,” and his refinery now becomes “the pivotal step to ensure that Africa will refine its crude oil, thus having the wealth and prosperity generated over its huge population.”

Speaking of the refinery, Dangote disclosed that it was the largest risk of his life, and if it failed, it would have affected him deeply.

“It was the biggest risk of my life,” says Dangote about his decision to embark on the project. “If this didn’t work, I was dead.”

According to Forbes, Zainab Usman, director of the Africa Programme at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the Nigerians have come to regard Dangote as a hero and a true industrialist transforming the nation.

“He is seen in most parts of Nigeria as a hero. He is seen as a real industrialist who builds things,” she said.

Anambra Lawmaker’s Murder Suspects Vanish—Mystery Deepens!

These two suspects were arrested by the police and are now said to be connected with the murder of the late member representing Onitsha 1 Constituency in the House of Assembly of Anambra State Hon Justice Azuka.

The Police Public Relations Officer of Anambra State Police Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Awka, the state capital.

Azuka was kidnapped and attacked by gunmen on Christmas eve while he was returning home for the festivities.

His corpse was discovered earlier this month on the Second Niger Bridge. Speaking yesterday, Ikenga disclosed that immediately the report about the escape of the suspects reached the Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, he quickly mobilized human, operational, and intelligence assets to ensure the re-arrest of the fleeing suspects.

Not only that, but he has also ordered the disciplinary action of officers discovered to be negligent in the occurrence.

According to the police spokesperson, preliminary investigations suggest that the suspects were aiding police officers in the operation to apprehend a receiver of stolen goods and recover operational vehicles used by the criminal gang.

Ikenga stated, “The Commissioner of Police CP Ikioye Orutugu, on receipt of the report today February 18, 2025 about the escape of the two suspects involved in the murder of Late Hon Justice Azuka, Member Representing Onitsha 1 Constituency in the State House of Assembly.

“During the onslaught operation by the Operatives, the suspect (the receiver) was apprehended while two vehicles, suspected to have been snatched from unsuspecting members of the public, were recovered.

“However, the other two suspects took off.

” To this end, the CP reiterated that the Command is on offense against every criminal element in the State and that efforts are in top gear to ensure that the suspects are re-arrested and justice served.

Fiverr Wants AI to Share Your Hustle—Fair or Foul?

A gig market such as Fiverr wants freelancers to train their AI with their own work and later automate jobs for them.

Fiverr declared the unveiling of its new plans to entice gig workers onto the platform with generative AI to their jobs at the event, which took place on Tuesday. The most ambitious program will enable freelancers who do voice-over, graphic design, and other tasks to train AI on their content and selling access to customers.

Fiverr
Fiverr

Fiverr Chief Executive Micha Kaufman explained that it was supposed to ensure that gig workers “earn their proper credit and pay while also giving them unprecedented tools for scaling their work.”

“This is about making our freelancers irreplaceable, not obsolete,” Kaufman said in a statement. “We built [these new features] to ensure creators remain at the center of the creative economy.”

Its stark impact was particularly felt by the gig market, meeting cheap and widely available generative AI technologies coming into the scenario of service delivery. A more recent report found that tools such as image generators and OpenAI’s ChatGPT have turned out to be competitive agents for fewer roles, where the brunt of ill effects is borne mostly by writers, programmers, and app developers.

Fiverr
Fiverr

These job may never come back. In an earlier, independent study of gig marketplace patterns over a nine-month period, the researchers concluded that the trend toward declining levels of freelancing has only accelerated over time.

Fiverr’s grand plan to tackle this issue is what they would call the “Personal AI Creation Model,” which would allow contractors to configure an AI model trained on their own past work-gather artworks, say, or programs-and price the usage. Fiverr says freelancers will own whatever work gets generated through their model, including contents like song lyrics and illustrations, marketing copy, and designs for digital ads.

Fiverr
Fiverr

“Buyers have full flexibility to choose between a freelancer’s AI-generated work, human-created work, or a seamless blend of both,” a Fiverr spokesperson told TechCrunch via email. “Customers can instantly pay and download AI-generated assets or ask the freelancer for an additional edit. They can also contact the freelancer of an AI-generated work as a starting point for a project, as an example or inspiration, and ask for a specific service.”

When it also launches on Wednesday, at present, it will give access to “thousands” of “top, vetted” freelancers. Fiverr says it is using “advanced-language models” and “generative frameworks,” and “it won’t be free” to drive the capability. The Personal AI Creation Model costs $25 per month.

Gig workers may not feel they have much of a choice. Not participating can somehow put them in bad competition in a merciless industry. Many face economic insecurity and bills that stay unpaid while they lack benefits and protections specifically for full-time employees.

Fiverr stresses it will not use gig worker data to train in-house models (ones, like these, that might compete with them) and that the Personal AI Creation Model would be disable-able at any time.

Fiverr
Fiverr

The spokesperson added, “Creative work and the AI models freelancers train belong to them.” “Fiverr may collect aggregated, anonymized usage data solely to improve platform performance and user experience, but never to replicate or compete with freelancers’ creative work or services …

If a freelancer disables their AI Creation Model, they will have access to any content generated by the model and no one else will have access to it.”

Contractors on Fiverr using the Personal AI Creation Model will also be eligible to get Fiverr’s “Personal AI Assistant” ($29 monthly or included as part of Fiverr’s Seller Plus Premium plan), which is essentially a customer service chatbot fine-tuned based on contractors’ chats with clients. According to the assistant, which is customizable and can “provide actionable business insights”, it can take on “routine tasks”, entering a user’s reply in cases where the contractor is offline.

Because of the sensitive nature of some of these interactions, gig workers, however, might be wary about allowing the training on them.

To date, Fiverr has not indicated whether users will control which specific chats the Personal AI Assistant will use to fine-tune its performance.

Musk’s DOGE Cult: Genius Move or Wild Gamble?

Musk spent almost his entire life establishing a universe of companies that have stood as a nursery for aspiring engineers and a testing ground for his innermost circle.

That universe-an ecosystem built around Silicon Valley tech titans, veterans from his companies such as Tesla and SpaceX, and the next generation of fresh-faced hackers and software engineers-now hits up against the U.S. federal government.

Musk
Musk

The many dozens of people who either work for or advise Musk – the Trump-created Department of Government Efficiency – are representative of something more than just the billionaire’s love of harvesting talent. These are real-life examples of Musk’s spider-web reach through the tech industry.

As TechCrunch noted, those data sets from several of the many individuals serving as Musk’s representatives in the U.S. government have reflected numerous sources that TechCrunch has identified or confirmed independently-for example, either from internal files or toward public records.

Musk
Musk

We have set out to report or confirm the individuals representing Musk in the U.S. government. Importantly, we have sought to show the connections between them, and how and when they entered Musk’s orbit. Along the way, TechCrunch has made some new discoveries, including new details about DOGE and its workers and an xAI-powered chatbot on a DOGE-related site subdomain that is hosted on a Musk acolyte’s website.

This is how we’ve come to this point. TechCrunch has spoken with people who have worked both with Musk and the DOGE staffers. We confirmed portions of our reporting by public and open source data, such as historical internet records and chat logs.

We have also depended on the services of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, which provides access to archived copies of websites that are no longer online. Additionally used were public sources like court records, payments transactions, other media reports, and previous TechCrunch reports.

Musk
Musk

TechCrunch worked its way through all of those named to give an opportunity for comments. For those about whom there are not contact details, contact was made through known representatives-including the Trump administration.

When contacted, a White House spokesperson had this to say for TechCrunch: “On background”, as the spokesperson termed it, was how the email was sent, but we are publishing in full as we were given no opportunity to decline the terms.

“DOGE is fulfilling President Trump’s promise to make the government more accountable, efficient, and restoring, indeed, the proper stewardship of the taxpayer’s hard-earned dollars. Those leading this mission with Elon Musk are doing so in full compliance with federal law, appropriate security clearances, and as employees of the relevant agencies, not as outside advisors or entities.

Musk
Musk

The ongoing operations of DOGE may be seen as disruptive by those entrenched in the federal bureaucracy, who resist change. While change can be uncomfortable, it is necessary and aligns with the mandate supported by more than 77 million American voters,” continues the statement.

BREAKING: Police Declare Portable Wanted for Assault!

On Monday, Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable was declared wanted over his alleged role in the violent attack of public officials in the line of duty.

A statement from the Ogun State Police Command quoted the Command Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola.

 

According to Odutola, on February 5, 2025, at about 1000hrs, three officials of the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office; TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi were engaged in enforcement work at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota. When they encountered an elderly man later identified as Portable’s father, at Odogwu Bar in the area.

Portable

“The father informed them that his son was not on the site when they introduced themselves and asked to see the valid building plan.”

“But moments later, Portable armed with a gun and other weapons led a nine-man gang with a violent attack on the unarmed officials.

Portable

“The enforcement officers sustained various bodily injuries but managed to escape and reported the incident to the Ota Area Command, which then escalated the case for further investigation to the State Criminal Investigation Department.

“Nine accomplices have been arrested, whereas Portable fled the scene and has been on the run.”

She continued, “Multiple formal invitations were sent to him, requesting his presence at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, which he deliberately ignored without cause or legal representation.

Portable
Portable

“After all, efforts to invite him proved abortive; Ogun State Police Command secured a valid court order declaring him wanted.

“The public is by this notice advised to assist the police with any useful information that could lead to his immediate arrest in such a manner that anyone found to conceal or assist him should be charged in violation of the law.”

“Any relevant information should be reported to the nearest police station or through any communication channels made available by the Ogun State Police Command or the police public relations department.”

Portable

About two weeks ago, nine associates of the singer were brought before a Magistrate Court sitting at Isabo, Abeokuta, for the alleged assault of officers of the Ota Zonal Planning office of the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.

They were Nurudeen Waris, 21; Adetola Alashe, 25; Samuel Adeleke, 28; Oluwaseun Ayenuwa, 19; Oluwapelumi Adeosun, 20; Gospel Kanu, 20; Precious Ohiegebo, 19; Ifeoluwa Babatunde, 27; and Fatimo Muhammed, 26.

The defendants were arraigned on five counts of conspiracy, assault occasioning bodily harm, armed with cutlasses and guns, conduct likely to cause a breach of peace, and attempted murder.

They, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against them.

N5.7bn Goat Scheme: Katsina Gov Empowers 3,610 Women

Dikko Umaru Radda, governor of Katsina State, flagged off the distribution of 40,000 goats under an ambitious Goat Rearing Initiative Programme with the intention of establishing the state as a leading powerhouse for livestock production.

Katsina

On Monday, governor Radda addressed the beneficiaries of the programme and stakeholders in Daura Local Government Area of Katsina, articulating a transformative vision for the initiative.

Katsina

“This moment marks not only a giant stride in our agricultural journey but also a transformative one toward achieving our ambition of making Katsina State a leading hub for livestock production in the northern region and across our great nation, Nigeria,” declared the governor.

The initiative specifically aims at empowering women economically through the Ministry of Women Affairs and community committees.

“The Goat Rearing Initiative which cost N5.7 billion is to empower local farmers, especially women groups, through the Ministry of Women Affairs and community-level committees by providing them with the resources, training, and support they need to rear goats successfully,” elucidated Governor Radda.

Informing the press of the total approach to the programme, Mr. Radda said there will be training in modern livestock management for extension workers.

“We will implement training programmed for our people, furnishing them with the skills required for effective breeding procedures. This training will cover key issues like animal nutrition, health management, and sustainable farming practices,” he specified.

Acknowledging that the initiative sits within the framework of national agricultural policies, Governor Radda said,

“We want to thank President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the establishment of the Ministry of Livestock Development in the nation,” noting that the state government “will remain steadfast in our commitment to support our farmers in every possible way.”

Katsina

The people of this state will experience an upgraded economic landscape and a spatial firebreak of communities from pushing our state to the forefront in livestock production, he said. Apparently offense-optimistic about the program’s effect, closing with that, “This Goat Farming Initiative program is not any other program.

It is a shining hope for agriculture in our state.”

This, according to the State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs Hadiza Yar’adua, is the very meaning of the empowerment initiative as it makes a hefty investment with deliberate consequences in economies of existence and livelihoods.

While commending the governor for this beautiful initiative through the Goat Rearing Initiative, Mrs Ya’Adua stated, “Indeed, everybody knows that Governor Radda is a force to reckon with in women empowerment not only in Katsina but the entire nation.”

Nigerian Students Protest as Airtel, MTN Hike Prices

Making a significant change in its data price structure, the second-largest telecommunications company in the country joined others in the exercise.

According to the revised scheme, newly introduced changes, which have recently come into effect, are the result of much-increased operational costs across the company.

Nigerian

The new pricing structure, which has received mixed reactions from subscribers, was confirmed through an examination of the *312# USSD code and the company site.

Among daily plans include N50 for 40MB (valid for 1 day), N100 for 100MB (valid for 1 day), N200 for 200MB (valid for 3 days), and N350 for 1GB (valid for 1 day). These plans were further listed on their site. While for the week’s plan, it is now N350 for 350MB (valid for 7 days), N500 for 750MB+1GB YouTube Night and 200MB YouTube Music/Spotify (valid for 7 days), N500 for 1GB+1GB YouTube Night with 50MB Socials (valid for 7 days), and N500 for 2GB (valid for 2 days).

Nigerian

Changes to the monthly plan include N2,000 for 3GB (previously 1.5GB at N1,200), N2,500 for 4GB (previously 3GB at N1,500), and N3,000 for 8GB (previously 4.5GB at N2,000). Other changes include 10GB at N4,000 (previously 6GB at N2,500), 13GB at N5,000 (from 10GB at N3,000), 18GB at N6,000 (previously 15GB at N4,000), and 25GB at N8,000 (from 18GB at N5,000).

Nigerian

Airtel’s call rate increased to 25 kobo per second from about 18 kobo per second. Airtel, like MTN, has left some tariff plans untouched. Thus the 5GB plan/week for N1,500 remains unchanged.

News came in the wake of such tariff increases that recorded almost 50-percent increases-internationally charged by MTN Nigeria under new terms of Federal Government just under a week after implementation.

The commission’s approval, as earlier approached and obtained by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), is the regulatory body that oversees the telecom industry and accordingly sets tariff changes.

The commission further justifies its approval based upon increasing operational prices, together with the concomitant sustainability requirement for the industry.

Nigerian

The commission mentioned that the application for approval was done as provided for under section 108 of the Nigerian Communications Act, 2003 (NCA).

It will be recalled that in June 2024, Davido, born David Adeleke and the hitmaker of the “Unavailable” song, made headlines for showcasing his luxurious aircraft, Bombardier Global 7500 private jet.

While his cousin Nike Adeleke has given an extended version of her tour of the Bombardier Global 7500 private jet for her YouTube show, “Niko’s Living,” the singer for his part did tour the private jet.

Nikos while engaging on the tour of the private jet, introduced Davido manager’s section Asa Asika, she introduced section belonging to that of Davido right hand man Lati DMW, then she introduced their two cousins section before landing on Davido’s section.

Davido’s side, however, is a different story; comparatively, his room was very spacious and had its own bath. In the video, the singer talks about a video shoot for his forthcoming album, 5ive.

The entire ambience of Davido’s Bombardier Global 7500 private jet worth N117 billion is not for the faint-hearted; it speaks absolute luxury.

As expected, the video of the private jet elicited mixed reactions online, with many claiming the PJ does not belong to Davido but rather to his father, Adedeji Adeleke, the elder brother of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Check out these reactions below;

Drama as Regina Daniels Deactivates IG, Lady Reacts

A Nigerian turns on the Nollywood actress Regina Daniels for deactivating her Instagram account over an alleged romantic link between her billionaire husband Ned Nwoko and veteran movie star Chika Ike.

Before you remember, on February 10, Chika Ike announced her first pregnancy with beautiful maternity photos. In little unexpected news going viral today, February 17, a faceless blogger, GistLover, revealed that the child was the product of the marriage of Regina’s husband, Ned Nwoko, where they had a child together.

Outrageous news spread through the social media platform, which caused a stir leading to the deactivation of Regina Daniels’ Instagram account.

In her words, “Listen, baby girl, please activate that account back if the news is true because you know you are not the first, second, third or even last.” “It is not possible.

They accept you, so you have to accept her too wholeheartedly. Baby girl, don’t be selfish, the women before you accepted you, so you also have to accept other women. Not easy to be a 4th, 5th wife; so you have to be calm.”

But, according to the nameless lady, Regina Daniels would be delusional to think that she will be the last wife of Ned Nwoko.

Ned’s earlier wives accepted Regina without reservation, and so must Regina accept Chika Ike.

The lady emphasized that every lady wants a billionaire man like her husband, advising Regina to calm down and activate her Instagram account back.
