War: US Surprised Iran Can Launch Missile 2,700 Miles – Donald Trump

Donald Trump has expressed surprise over Iran’s ability to develop missiles capable of travelling as far as 2,700 miles.

Trump expressed this surprises on Friday while highlighting concerns about Iran’s growing missile arsenal.

It was gathered that Iran’s missile capabilities have been a subject of debate, with some experts saying Tehran’s claims of targeting US bases are exaggerated, while others warn that Iran’s advancements pose a significant threat to regional and global security.

Meanwhile, the US has acknowledged Iran’s growing capabilities, with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stating that Iran could hit Washington DC and other major US cities with intermediate-range ballistic missiles through proxies in Venezuela.

“The United States was unaware Iran had the capability to launch a missile 2,700 miles,”Trump said.

ASUU Issues Four-Day Ultimatum To FG Over New Lecturer Salaries

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has cautioned the Federal Government to commence payment of lecturers under the newly approved salary structure without delay or face the possibility of a nationwide strike.

The union issued a four-day deadline on Thursday. ASUU President Christopher Piwuna said that if no action is taken within that period, the union will take serious measures that could shut down public universities across the country.

Speaking at Sa’adu Zungur University in Bauchi State, Piwuna stated that the government must commence payment of the new salaries immediately.

“We have issued a four-day ultimatum from today to the federal government to begin the payment of the newly approved salary structure.

“Failure to comply will attract a strong response from the union,” he said.

He emphasised that the union expects prompt action, warning that non-compliance will provoke a decisive response.

This warning comes a few months after ASUU and the federal government reached a new agreement in January.

The deal was intended to resolve long-standing issues and end the repeated strikes that have affected Nigeria’s university system for years.

A key element of the agreement is a new salary structure designed to improve lecturers’ welfare and address problems linked to the 2009 agreement between ASUU and the government, which was never fully implemented.

Tonto Dikeh Wants To K!ll Me – Actress Doris Ogala Cries Out, Raises Alarm Over Alleged Spiritual Plot

Doris Ogala, the popular Nollywood actress, has accused her colleague Tonto Dikeh of attempting to harm her through spiritual means.

The issue came to light on Wednesday, after Doris took to social media to share a series of emotional messages about her experience.

 

 

She claimed that her only intention was to ask Tonto to help speak to a man identified as Chris about refunding money owed to her, and not to get involved in any personal relationship matters.

Doris said she was shocked by what followed, as she alleged that Tonto instead took steps that could put her in danger.

She claimed that Tonto reported her to a traditional herbalist, an action she believes was meant to harm her spiritually.

As part of her claims, Doris released an audio clip which she said was Tonto’s voice.

In the recording, she alleged that Tonto spoke about contacting a woman she described as a spiritualist in relation to her.

The actress expressed pain over the situation, recalling how she stood by Tonto during her past issues with her former partner, Prince Kpokpogri.

She said she supported her when many others stayed away, making the current situation even more difficult for her to understand.

Doris also warned people to be careful and pay attention to what is happening, stating that the matter should not be taken lightly. She maintained that the situation has left her feeling betrayed.

She said: “Tonto is reporting to k!ll me… why… why are you reporting me to your mamalawo. Guys, you will be shocked at how evil this girl’s heart is.

“Should I keep quiet after seeing this… Ahhh everyone should check oo. This is a bastard I help during her disgraceful ordeal with Kpokpogiri. Make una dey hear oo. Every other person left this girl. I stood by her kai. Why.”

Why Davido Should Have Distributed N200m Birthday Donation To Music Legends – Singer Konga Speaks (Video)

Veteran singer Konga has expressed his disappointment over what he describes as the lack of support from the current generation of Nigerian artists toward industry legends.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Hits Don’t Lie podcast, the Kabakaba crooner said Davido should have supported Nigerian music legends with the N200 million birthday donations he received from his friends and fans in 2021.

 

Recall that Davido added N50 million of his own money, bringing the total to N250 million, which he donated to 292 orphanages across Nigeria.

 

 

 

However, Konga argued that it would have been better if he had used the funds to support struggling music legends, stressing that the funds could have rejuvenated their careers.

He said, “The present crops of Nigerian artists need to humble themselves. Nobody is dragging their money with them. But they have used peer pressure to chase a lot of Nigerian music legends into doing menial jobs abroad.

“If I were part of Davido’s management, one time his friends contributed money to him, I would have said – ‘Davido, carry this money, go and give it to all these legends… bring Baba Fryo back, bring Daddy Showkey. Give Daddy Showkey, Baba Fryo and others N5 million each.’

“If he had done that, the industry would have waken up. Our legends would have dropped a lot of comeback hits. Our music legends are running away due to lack of support. Look at Lord of Ajasa, is that a joke to you? And someone like Olamide will come out to say Wizkid is the greatest Nigerian artist internationally. Where is that coming from? We have been doing international shows for ages.

“You guys are only taking it forward from where we stopped. Fela, King Sunny Ade, Majek Fashek and others have been touring the world for years. Just because our achievements were not documented back then does not mean we did not do anything.”

I Don’t Even Know What To Do — Blessing CEO Laments After Revealing Stage 4 Cancer Diagnosis (Video)

Relationship expert Blessing CEO has spoken out about her health after revealing that she is battling stage 4 cancer.

In a video, she expressed deep appreciation for the support, prayers, and contributions she has received, admitting that the situation has been overwhelming for her.

She explained that the illness started last year as a lump in her breast. After initial tests, she was told it was not cancerous, which made her delay removing it due to other personal commitments at the time.

However, she said when she later returned for further checks earlier this year, another biopsy revealed that the lump had become cancerous and had already spread.

According to her, doctors are now considering surgery, but she said there are still uncertainties about the full extent of the condition until further procedures are carried out.

She also used the moment to highlight the need for more awareness about cancer, admitting that she previously did not fully understand the seriousness of the disease.

Blessing CEO added that the situation has been difficult for her to process, especially as someone who rarely falls sick and is not used to hospital environments.

While stating that she is not one to seek pity, she appealed for support, explaining that medical treatment has left her feeling vulnerable and unable to function at full capacity.

It’s Time To Experience What Pain Feels Like – Nigerian Actress, Sarah Martins Mocks Blessing CEO Following Cancer Diagnosis

Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has alleged that the spirit of the late Bimbo Ogbonna, wife of IVD, is behind Blessing CEO’s illness.

Martins made this claim while commenting on Blessing CEO’s alleged battle with stage 4 breast cancer.

Earlier, 626Blaze reported that Blessing CEO, a popular self-acclaimed relationship expert, on Wednesday solicited financial assistance from the public for chemotherapy treatment.

Reacting to the controversial claim by Blessing CEO, the actress blasted her for speaking against late Bimbo who died from injury sustained from a fire outbreak that happened during a violent incident with IVD at their Lagos residence.

While applauding the Bimbo’s spirit, Sarah urged her to make sure she kills everyone involved in her death.

Speaking in a post on her Instagram page on Thursday, the actress said “What a day to be alive. Dear Bimbo, I see what you did there, keep it up Kpai them all. Either through cancer or whatever means!

“They bragged and mocked your death, now it’s time to experience what pain feels like. Blessing no be for here u go jogodo!

“You mocked the death of a woman that did nothing to you and still went ahead to flaunt her husband after personalizing him!

“God neither sleeps nor slumbers. His timing is always perfect. No be only cancer you go face o, craze go later join. Agba amu”, she wrote.

Recall that Blessing, who claimed to be IVD’s official relationship therapist, took sides with him in 2022 when he was accused of having a hand in his wife’s death.

However a few months after Bimbo’s death, Blessing announced her relationship with IVD, and the duo tied the knot traditionally in 2025.
