 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.

A PROMINENT SOUTH AFRICAN ANTI-IMMIGRATION ACTIVIST WAS REPORTEDLY TELLING A COURT THAT HE COULD NOT AFFORD LEGAL REPRESENTATION BECAUSE HE IS UNEMPLOYED.(VIDEO/PHOTO).



A prominent South African anti-immigration activist has sparked widespread debate after reportedly telling a court that he could not afford legal representation because he is unemployed.

South Africa continues to face some of the highest unemployment rates in the world, alongside deep-rooted issues of poverty and inequality—problems many analysts say cannot be attributed solely to immigration.


The case has once again highlighted the deep divisions surrounding migration, economic hardship, and social tensions in Africa’s most industrialized economy.
