ADC Coalition And Their Military Era ‘Telephone Is Not For The Poor’ Mentality David Mark is 77 years old, and Rauf Aregbesola is 68. And these are the people who will lead the new coalition party. Can you, as a Nigerian youth, have any hope in such a gerontocratic party, headed by a man who inspired the headline, ‘Telephones Are Not For The Poor’, and another, who as Osun Governor caused religious crisis in his state by forcing Christian Missionary schools to merge with schools they had no affiliation with, which led to religious violence in Osun? What is their purpose for coming together? They have stated it clearly. It is not to make telephones affordable for the poor, but to simply take power from President Bola Tinubu.

IT IS A RISK TO MAKE CALLS WHEN APPROACHING ANY MILITARY CHECK POINT - Nigerian Army A quick reminder The Chief of Civil Affairs in the Nigerian Army, Major-General Usman Mohammed, has said that the use of phones when approaching a military checkpoint is wrong. According to him, it is security loop for anyone to approach a checkpoint and at the same time, make use of his or her phone. “It is a security measure for when you are approaching a checkpoint, you don’t make phone calls because the tendency is that if you are making a phone call, you might be communicating with some bad guys or you may use that particular device to set up some certain devices. It is a general convention; it is not peculiar to Nigeria, it is everywhere. People who have travelled abroad know that you don’t make phone calls when approaching a checkpoint” he said. join us on Jaconna on all social media

BREAKING NEWS: NIGER MILITARY NEUTRALIZES FULANI BANDITS NEAR BORDER, CAPTURES KEY FIGURE ISMAILI GARGA DIALLO In a major security breakthrough, the Niger Republic military has successfully neutralized several suspected Fulani bandits and terrorists at the nation’s border region with Nigeria. The operation, which took place yesterday day, left many of the assailants wounded and a number of them captured, including a notorious figure identified as Ismaili Garga Diallo. This decisive military action comes amid intensified efforts by General Abdourahamane Tchiani's administration to clamp down on terrorism and cross-border criminal activities. According to reports, the General had earlier issued warnings in the Fulani language—three times—to dissuade the armed group from further violence, but the warnings were ignored. Observers say this latest operation demonstrates the government’s firm stance on restoring peace and stability in the region, with General Tchiani showing zero tolerance for acts of terrorism. Authorities are yet to release an official statement on the operation, but the development has been welcomed as a positive step towards enhanced security in the region.

Iran Admits Nuclear Facilities ‘Badly Damaged’ By US Strikes Iran yesterday said its nuclear installations were “badly damaged” by US airstrikes, the first such comments by Tehran as debate grows over how much the bombardment managed to dent the Islamic Republic’s atomic programme. “Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that’s for sure,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei told Al Jazeera TV in an interview, quoted by Bloomberg. Baghaei did not give further details and said authorities were still assessing the situation on the ground. He added that the US attacks were a “detrimental blow” to international law and the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to which Iran is a signatory. The comments are the first time an Iranian official has addressed the scope of damage caused by the June 22 strikes which involved US attacks on three nuclear facilities in Iran using more than a dozen 30,000-pound bombs. The comments came hours after US President Donald Trump disputed a US intelligence report that said the attacks had limited impact on Iran’s nuclear programme below ground. An assessment from the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency said the bombing likely didn’t cripple the core components stored underground including centrifuges, according to people familiar with its contents. Commenting on the intelligence leak, Trump said the report was “very inconclusive” but that he still believed the sites were demolished, the Bloomberg report added. “The intelligence says we don’t know,” he told reporters at a NATO summit in the Hague. “It could have been very severe. That’s what the intelligence says. So I guess that’s correct, but I think we can take that we don’t know. It was very severe. It was obliteration,” he added. But International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi said “very significant damage is expected to have occurred” at Fordow, Iran’s main uranium enrichment site which is built under a mountain. The IAEA has not had access to Iran since Israel started attacking Iran on June 13. Satellite images showed that US military planners were careful not to hit reactors at the Isfahan research facility which appeared to have been intentionally left untouched, according to four senior officials in Vienna. The Israel Atomic Energy Commission said the US strikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear site rendered the enrichment facility inoperable. It said both Israeli and US attacks set back the country’s ability to develop its nuclear weapons by “many years.” Trump brokered a ceasefire to end the 12-day war between Israel and Iran that appeared to be holding on Wednesday. The president had lashed out at both countries a day earlier, and particularly Israel, over what he said were early violations of the truce. Both nations have said they’ll honour the ceasefire provided their enemy does the same.

How Israel Tricked Iran 20 Top Military Leaders With Fake Meeting to Kill Them At every step, Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad, has dominated Iran over the past 10 days. Each action could be its own movie. Who knew that the Mossad had created inside of Iran a drone factory. These drones proved strategic as the war began in destroying missile launchers and defense systems. Now we find out that the Mossad was able to lure 20 top military leaders to meet together at the same place so they could be neutralized. Understand, these are brutal killers. Iran is the top state sponsor of terrorism in the world, and it oppresses their own people daily. Christians are forbidden to meet, and if you are the leader of a house church, you can end up in jail. According to Israeli Journalist Amit Segal (pictured), who can be seen daily on N12, Israel’s most popular news channel, “Israel … create[d] a fake phone call for 20 members of the air force senior staff and call[ed] them to a specific bunker in Tehran.” All Israel News reported, “The fake Israeli phone operation called for an emergency meeting for top IRGC operatives.” “The ruse successfully drew the entire senior leadership of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC),” claimed Segal. At this point, it was quite easy for the Israeli Air Force to zero in on that location, taking out some of the most evil men on the planet. //Leaders neutralized: • General Amir Ali Hajizadeh and his deputies, who oversaw Iran’s Aerospace Force/Ballistic Missiles. • Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the head of Iran’s Armed Forces. • Maj. Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, second in command • Head of IRGC Commander Hossein Salami, known for repeatedly calling for Israel to be wiped off the map • Two top nuclear scientists “The elimination of Iran’s top military leadership meant that there was no one who was ‘alive to give the command to strike back.’ [It] paralyzed the Tehran regime for several hours. However, the ayatollah regime and the IRGC fired a barrage of some 100 ballistic missiles against Israel some time later,” according to All Israel News. An Israeli security official told Fox News, “We carried out specific activities to help us learn more about them, and then use that information to influence their behavior. We knew this would lead them to meet, but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.”

Russia has signed new agreements to strengthen trade and economic relations with Mali, as President Vladimir Putin hosted the West African country’s military leader, Colonel Assimi Goita, in Moscow on Monday. The two leaders met at the Kremlin for a two-hour discussion, according to Russian state media. Putin described the relationship between Russia and Mali as following a “positive trajectory,” though he acknowledged that current trade volumes remain modest, Reuters reported. He emphasized potential areas for deeper cooperation, including geological exploration, natural resource development, energy, logistics, and humanitarian efforts. One of the key deals signed was focused on nuclear energy cooperation. The two countries have previously discussed a strategic plan to build a Russian-designed low-power nuclear plant in Mali. The junta-led country is following a similar path to Burkina Faso, having taken a major step toward embracing nuclear energy by officially signing the final administrative document of a historic intergovernmental agreement with Russia last week. This landmark deal represents a significant milestone in Mali’s efforts to diversify its energy sources and tackle the country’s growing electricity needs, as it seeks long-term solutions to power shortages and boost national development. Russia’s expanding footprint in Africa Earlier this month, construction also began on a new Russian-backed gold refinery in Mali. Set to be constructed on a five-hectare site near Bamako’s international airport, the refinery will have the capacity to process up to 200 metric tons of gold annually, a significant leap from Mali’s current processing capacity of about 50 tons. Though Mali is one of Africa’s largest gold producers, it currently lacks a fully functional and globally certified refinery. The country’s two existing facilities have been unable to meet the standards required by global bodies like the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), forcing miners to refine their gold abroad. The new refinery will produce gold with a purity of 99.5%, adhering to international certification standards.

Iran Brought Israel On Their Knees, Now Begging For Ceasefire - Femi Fani-Kayode 👇👇👇 According to him "I congratulate the Islamic Republic of Iran for standing up to the Zionist bullies and Talmudic troublers of the world, teaching them the lesson of their lives, bringing them to their knees and forcing them to go running to their big brother America for help in the field of battle and to beg for a ceasefire. In its entire 77 year history the Zionist state has never suffered such shock, panic, trepidation, terror, infrastructural damage and shame and their cities have never been so savagely attacked and destroyed. They picked a fight with a strong and proud nation and got not just a bloody nose but a thorough beating. Never will they launch an unprovoked attack on Iran again. I thank God for the ceasefire and for the fact that lives will be saved. I commend the courage of the Armed Forces of Iran who were restrained in their military engagements and operations and who refused to commit atrocities, level Tel Aviv or Jerusalem to the ground or target civilians. Finally I commend the remarkable strength, faith and fortitude of Ayatollah Khameini @fr_Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, who kept his head held high throughout this war and inspired millions of people in Iran and indeed from all over the world with his humility, resilience and courage. He refused to bow to Bibi Netanyahu or Trump and his faith in God shielded him from death, harm and defeat. The Zionists and Americans not only failed in their objective to destroy all of Iran's nuclear enrichment plants and nuclear and ballistic missile threats, despite all pretentions to the contrary, but they also failed to kill Ayatollah Khameini, to effect regime change, to spark off a wider war in the Middle East, to take us one step closer to WW3 and to flatten the cities of Iran and slaughter its people in the same way as they have done in Gaza. I pray the ceasefire holds and I urge the Iranians to continue to be vigilant and to watch and to pray because the Zionists hate peace and cannot be trusted. Permit me to end with the following. I will continue to display and voice my utter and complete contempt and disgust for the child-killing, mass murdering, ethnic cleansing, genocidal, ethno-supremacist, fascist, racist, religiously fanatic, apartheid State of Israel as long as it continues to occupy the land of the Palestinians, to detain and torture the captives, to indulge in abominable and unspeakable practices, to bring turmoil to the Middle East, to bring war and destruction to its neighbours, to call its citizens God's chosen people and members of the master race and to slaughter the people of Gaza. I urge every right-thinking person who has managed to retain his or her humanity, who seeks justice, who cherishes peace, who loves God, who regards the Palestinians as human beings and who has a modicum of decency and compassion to do same. Until they refrain from their wicked ways and horrendous atrocities I shall continue to resist the sons and daughters of perdition, to expose the Ashkazi of Israel and the worshippers of Baal, to spit on their 'Star of Remphan' and to oppose the cult of the Synagogue of satan who falsely claim to be semites and Jews." (Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, Sadaukin Shinkafi) -

Five Members Of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps Killed Five IRGC Members Killed in Israeli Strike on Khorramabad, Iranian Media Reports ERBIL (Kurdistan24) — Five members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the western Iranian city of Khorramabad, according to a report by Iran’s Mehr News Agency on Saturday, as cited by Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency (AA). Khorramabad, the capital of Lorestan province, had not previously been identified as a primary target in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, which erupted on June 13, 2025. The strike on Khorramabad represents a geographic expansion of Israeli targeting, reaching further into Iran’s western provinces. Iranian state media said the fatalities were IRGC personnel, though no official names or ranks have been released as of yet. Earlier on Saturday, Iranian outlets also reported that two people were killed and four others injured in an Israeli strike on the city of Qom in central Iran. Both cities have now joined Tehran and other regions on the growing list of targets in Israel’s campaign against Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure. The conflict began on June 13 when Israel launched widespread airstrikes on multiple sites across Iran, including suspected nuclear facilities and high-level military positions. Iran responded with a barrage of missile and drone attacks aimed at Tel Aviv and other locations within Israel. According to Israeli authorities, at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured by Iranian missile attacks since the hostilities began. Meanwhile, the Iranian Health Ministry has reported that at least 430 people have been killed and more than 3,500 others wounded as a result of Israeli airstrikes. The figures underline the intensifying human toll of the conflict, with both nations continuing to exchange fire amid international concerns about further escalation. join us on Jaconna on all social media and register on our website for more #everyone #Topcomment #jaconnaafrica #JTT #Jajiotheteacher

Fear of Assassination: Iran’s leader Khamenei chooses three successors, skips son The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly handpicked three potential successors in case he is killed during Israel’s ongoing military campaign — a revelation that signals unprecedented urgency inside Tehran’s highest ranks. According to an investigative report by The New York Times on Saturday, the 86-year-old Supreme Leader, now operating from a fortified bunker, privately named three senior clerics to assume power should he die during the conflict. The Times cites “senior Iranian officials” who say Khamenei made the selections after a string of high-level assassinations by Israeli forces. Significantly, Khamenei’s influential son, Mojtaba, long rumoured to be groomed for succession, was not included in the list. This marks a dramatic shift from years of speculation that a dynastic handover was being engineered behind the scenes, Jerusalem Post also reports on Saturday. “Khamenei has nominated three clerics as potential successors while hiding in a bunker… Mojtaba is not among them,” reported The New York Times, citing confidential Iranian sources close to the leadership. Meanwhile, The Jerusalem Post corroborated the report, noting that the Supreme Leader has also “selected replacements down his military chain of command” in anticipation of further Israeli strikes that could decimate his inner circle. Under normal conditions, Iran’s Supreme Leader is chosen by the Assembly of Experts — an 88-member clerical body. But Khamenei’s reported actions suggest he is attempting to shape that outcome in advance, potentially bypassing traditional structures to preserve his ideological legacy and prevent internal fractures. Analysts say the selection of three clerics, rather than one, reflects both a lack of consensus within Iran’s ruling elite and the urgency of contingency planning as the threat level escalates. While names have not been officially released, the report indicates the candidates are figures trusted by Khamenei and aligned with the regime’s hardline core. Implications Beyond Iran The move has immediate geopolitical consequences. With the region on edge following Israeli strikes on senior Iranian and Hezbollah commanders, the specter of regime instability could further inflame the Middle East. It also raises questions about the viability of Iran’s leadership structure should Khamenei be incapacitated. “Khamenei’s action signals a regime that sees the risk of decapitation as real,” said a senior regional intelligence official quoted in The New York Times. “It is succession planning not in theory — but under fire.” - At jaconna we support peace, follow us on Jaconna on all social media.

BREAKING: Benue Attackers Are Not Nigerians And We Will Go After Them – Chief Of Army Staff The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, has linked the recent wave of violent killings in Benue State to suspected foreign mercenaries, suggesting that the perpetrators are not Nigerians.
