 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.

 Daryl Hannah slams her portrayal in Ryan Murphy's Love Story


Actress Daryl Hannah has spoken out against her portrayal in FX’s hit series Love Story, which dramatizes John F. Kennedy Jr.’s relationship with Carolyn Bessette. 


In an op-ed for The New York Times, Hannah criticized the show as a “tragedy-exploiting television series” and said viewers have wrongly assumed its depiction of her relationship with Kennedy is factual. 


She stressed that the character representing her bears no resemblance to her real life or conduct, and she firmly denied several scenes, including claims of drug use, press manipulation, and inappropriate behavior at family memorials.


Hannah explained that while she has endured false stories and unflattering portrayals in the past, she usually chooses silence to protect her privacy and that of her loved ones. 


However, she felt compelled to respond this time, noting that her discretion has been misinterpreted as agreement with lies. 


She also emphasized the Kennedy family’s long-standing preference for privacy, suggesting they too would be displeased with the series. 


According to Hannah, much of what is presented as intimate knowledge of her personal life comes from “self-serving sensationalists” trading in gossip and speculation.


Her essay highlighted the broader issue of how dramatizations can distort public memory. Hannah warned that in the digital era, entertainment often becomes collective history, blurring the line between fact and fiction. 


She argued that using real names in dramatized stories carries serious consequences, as those names belong to real people with real lives. 


By speaking out, Hannah sought to reclaim her narrative and remind audiences that television portrayals should not be mistaken for documented truth.
