On December 25, 2025, the United States military, under the direction of President Donald Trump, carried out airstrikes targeting Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) militants in northwest Nigeria, particularly in Sokoto State. The strikes were described by the U.S. as powerful and deadly and aimed at weakening extremist groups that have been responsible for repeated attacks on civilians across the region.

According to both U.S. and Nigerian authorities, the operation was conducted in cooperation with the Nigerian government, with intelligence support and approval from Nigerian security agencies. The Federal Government stated that the mission was part of a joint effort to combat terrorism and violent extremism and was not directed at any religious or ethnic group.

As the situation continues to develop, Nigerians should understand what this action could mean and how to prepare moving forward.

1. Security Conditions May Change Quickly

Airstrikes are often intended to disrupt terrorist operations, but they can also trigger retaliation or renewed violence as militant groups attempt to regroup. Northern states such as Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, and surrounding areas may experience increased tension.

Opinion: Few things Nigerian female celebrities need to copy from Bobrisky
Hello and welcome to my opinion blog.


It's actually funny when I see so many female celebrities laugh and make fun of Bobrisky because he is a crossdresser instead of paying attention to the details they need to copy from him.

In this article, I will discuss reasons why some ladies need to calm down and pay close attention to this crossdresser, as well as some features they need to copy from him to remain relevant in society.

If you are a female celebrity or just an ordinary entertainer who wants to remain green in the entertainment industry, take your time and read this interesting article till the end.

Bobrisky might be a crossdresser or whatever else you have in mind to label him, but you can't deny the fact that he has paid his dues and he is still trending effortlessly in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

He has even stayed much longer than most of the female celebrities who have condemned him in the past and called him some unimaginable names because of his lifestyle.

Despite all that Nigerians and Gistlover have said about this crossdresser just to bring him down, he's still making waves and achieving great things in a country that disdains people like him.

One of the things most female celebrities need to learn from Bobrisky is how to.........................Continue reading: https://www.gistcent.com.ng/2023/01/opinion-few-things-nigerian-female-celebrities-need-copy-from-bobrisky.html

It's actually bad that a lot of people have accused Alex of being gay because of his failed relationship with Fancy. The rate at which people are using words against him has made me wonder if being gay is a crime.

It's a pity that we came from a society that doesn't allow people to leave in their truth but always rushes to condemn anyone who pretends to live according to what the society wants.

The fact that Alex stayed with Fancy for 5 years without having sex with him doesn't make him gay. Nigerians should refrain from reading meanings into words and painting one bad.

The funny thing is that Nigerians are yet to come to terms with the fact that we really have homosexuals in this country and that they are also humans. The more society makes rules and regulations to restrict them from living freely, the more they will continue to date your straight daughters and girlfriends.

There is no way you can deny some groups of people their fundamental human rights and still expect.......Continue reading: https://www.gistcent.com.ng/2023/01/leave-alex-ekubo-alone-its-not-crime-to.html
