 Türkiye is planning to establish local defence production facilities and military training centres in Nigeria as part of efforts to strengthen security cooperation and increase bilateral trade to $5 billion. Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Mehmet Poroy, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja, saying the proposed facilities would enable Türkiye to support local military equipment production rather than simply supplying weapons and equipment. He also revealed that 200 Nigerian special forces personnel were undergoing a two-month training programme in Türkiye, with plans underway to establish a similar facility in Nigeria. “We are planning to have some local production unit also in that context, not only selling to Nigeria the tools, equipment, the arms that it needs, but also the possibility of having local production here in Nigeria,” Poroy said.

 'I FEEL BLESSED, BUT SAD' - 2FACE OPENS UP ON PAIN OF FATHERHOOD, FAME




Music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has opened up on the emotional strain of juggling superstardom with raising his eight children, admitting that while he feels blessed, he also carries a deep sense of regret.


In a revealing interview with the Voice of Nigeria, the award-winning singer spoke frankly about the challenges of fatherhood under the glare of public attention.


“I have eight kids now. I feel blessed and happy, but the sadness comes from the fact that I haven’t gotten to spend the type of time I should have spent with them collectively. It does something to me sometimes,” he said.


The African Queen crooner described his children as “amazing” and “brilliant,” but confessed that the reality of missing out on precious moments weighs heavily on him.


“They’re amazing, brilliant people. I just wish I was there more. It touches me from all corners,” he added.


On lingering public perception that paints him as a womaniser, 2Baba pushed back strongly, saying the label is one of the biggest misconceptions about him.


“The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a womanizer. I like women; I’m just straightforward. But I’m a lover boy. I love hard,” he said.


The singer also addressed remarks about his wife, Natasha, particularly claims that she dominates or controls him. According to him, such narratives are unfair and often driven by online speculation.


“Everybody has a say in everybody’s business now. Sometimes people say very nasty things. You grow thick skin, but sometimes it gets to you. Reality is reality she’s a brilliant woman, a strong woman,” he said.


In a surprising twist, the usually confident performer disclosed that he is naturally shy, despite his commanding stage presence.


“My profession doesn’t permit me to be shy, but I’m actually a very shy person. Sometimes I just want to be alone and chill. Other times I want to hang out. I like nature; I have my moments,” he said.


With these heartfelt revelations, 2Baba offers fans a rare glimpse into the man behind the music a global star grappling with fatherhood, public criticism and the pressures of life in the spotlight.
