NAF fighter pilots raids Boko Haram camp

By
The fighter pilots of the Nigerian Air Force have destroyed some fuel and ammunition dumps of the Boko Haram insurgents in the Sambisa Forest.
The Director, Public Relations and Information of the NAF, Air Commodore Dele Alonge, said in a statement on Tuesday that the Alpha jets used in the operation also destroyed the insurgents’ vehicles’ workshop in the terrorists’ enclave.
Alonge said that the operation was made successful by intelligence and surveillance missions carried out with unmanned aerial surveillance vehicles and the ATR-42 platforms of the service.
He quoted the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, as having said that the operation had further weakened the insurgents and thus allowed ground troops to move into the area in line with the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari to end the insurgency in December.
This feat by the Nigerian Air Force came as a result of a painstaking intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance efforts by the NAF’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and ATR-42 platforms.
“In view of the above, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal, Sadique Abubakar, wishes to assure Nigerians that with these successful strikes on the insurgents, their capabilities have been further degraded to pave the way for the final onslaught by the land forces to meet the Commander-in-Chief, President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive to bring insurgency in the North-East to an end.

OMG Davido opens up about baby mama

By
In 2015 May, I became the father of a love-child. DNA testing determined with maximum proof that I indeed was the father of my daughter, delivered by a head-butting casual lover, Miss Sophia Momodu. I met Sophia when I was barely 21 years old. She was many years older than me and was able to manipulate and exploit my youth, naivety and generosity.Sophia is the mother of my daughter, and no more ! She never would be my wife and she was never qualified for that status. Her background is very dissimilar from mine, and she has very paltry education and equally diminished physical attributes. Cunningly, she moved into my house because she claimed she has no place to stay in Lagos and that her father is late and her mother is resident in Abuja. I have accepted what providence brought my way including my own personal indiscretions. But I also have been burdened by the grate lapses in the character of Sophia and have thus suffered for my daughter who I love as much as my late mother, Imade....
