 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. On trade, the ambassador said bilateral trade currently stood at approximately $2 billion, including oil and gas, but both countries were targe...

 Age Is Just a Number - Dame Joan Collins Stuns at 92 With Glam Gala Appearance


Dame Joan Collins made a striking appearance in London as she stepped out with her husband Percy Gibson for a charity evening supporting Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.


The 92-year-old acting icon attended the Summer Evening Gala held at The Ivy Chelsea Garden on Tuesday, joining other well-known faces to raise funds for children with life-limiting conditions across London and Surrey.


Joan brought her signature old-school Hollywood elegance to the night, wearing a crisp white satin tuxedo-style jacket decorated with a rose on the lapel. 


She paired it with a black shirt detailed with leather trim and matching tailored trousers, finishing the look with her trademark voluminous curls and a deep red lip.


By her side, Percy Gibson, 61, kept things classic in a white shirt, camel blazer, and black trousers. 


The couple appeared relaxed and affectionate as they posed together during the star-filled evening.


Percy, a Hollywood producer originally from Peru and known for his work on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” has been married to Joan for years despite their 32-year age difference. 


The actress has often brushed off comments about their gap with her blunt sense of humor, once quipping, “If he dies, he dies.”


The charity event also welcomed a number of familiar faces. “Strictly Come Dancing” judge Bruno Tonioli stood out in a bold mesh vest layered under a patterned blazer, paired with white trousers.


Actress Brenda Blethyn, 80, attended in a relaxed shirt dress, while TV personality Lizzie Cundy opted for a bright yellow gown with a plunging neckline and high slit.


Joan’s glamorous appearance comes shortly after she spoke out about her stance on weight-loss injections, saying she would never consider them.


With drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy gaining popularity, the star dismissed the trend and encouraged a more traditional approach to weight management.


“I don’t believe in needles and things,” she said in an interview with Hello! magazine. “I’ve never had Botox or anything in my face,” she added, making it clear she prefers natural methods over cosmetic shortcuts.
