THE PRINCIPALITY IN CHARGE OF ISIS KICKS THE BUCKET IN AN AIR STRIKE DURING THEIR MEETING IN RAQQA

There are reports that ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, may have been killed in a targeted airstrike near Raqqa last month, Russia's Defence Ministry revealed that the leader of the most dreaded terrorist group was killed in a Russian airstrike on May 28 along with other senior group commanders.


The raid, which also killed about 30 mid-level militant leaders and about 300 other fighters, was carried out as ISIS leaders gathered to discuss the group's withdrawal from Raqqa, their de facto capital. According to the information given by the Russian military, Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was present at the meeting and most likely didn't make it out alive.

The claim that Russia has killed al-Baghdadi has not been fully confirmed, however, according to the US-led coalition. Al-Baghdadi, who has a £20 million bounty on his head, had been believed to be hiding out in the desert outside the besieged city of Mosul in northern Iraq but intelligence agencies believe he escaped from the city while it was being retaken by the Iraqi army. It is thought he then tried to get to Raqqa.

This will not be the first time the dreaded terrorist has been reported dead. More than a dozen times in the past, there has been reports that he was killed, yet each time a video is released to dispute that.

THE NIGERIA OF MY DREAM         BY AGADA IKECHUKWU It is no longer news that Nigeria is blessedly maximally potentiated with both human and mineral resources , neither is it news that despite the divine investments at her disposal , the poverty rate is simply astronomical. What is actually news is that these times are transient and shall soon faze away only when her people submit it’s affairs to the Almighty God to be the Chief driver as they transit to the promised land (New Nigeria). God created Nigeria for his glory and purpose and that purpose must be established. This is salvation time for Nigeria having been planted in the valley of dry bones for 54 years , it’s high time we spoke to the dry bones (Nigeria) to emerge operating in the office of prophets and prophetesses just like the biblical Ezekiel. I will use the opportunity provided by this piece to share my thoughts on the Nigeria of my dream ( The New Nigeria).It is my honour...

THE GREAT PHILANTHROPISTS

THE GREAT PHILANTHROPISTS BY AGADA IKECHUKWU philanthropy is a lifestyle which every living soul ought to cultivate irrespective of his/her financial strength or social status. It is pro-people, pro-poor, pro-jobs, pro-nature, etc. Philanthropists do not only spend and invest money but they try to help others to become a better version of themselves. Nigeria is blessed with many of such men and women who started from the scratch, kept their nose to the grindstone and turn seemingly insignificant ideas into behemoth industries then raced into the world of philanthropy in order to touch lives. In no particular sequence, some of them will be eulogised by the opportunity provided by this piece as their humanitarian services though in the public domain; should always be amplified to encourage others to follow suit in that line of servitude.
