 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...

 Joke Silva Breaks Silence With Touching Tribute Following Husband Olu Jacobs Passing


Veteran Nollywood actress Joke Silva has broken her silence following the death of her iconic husband, Olu Jacobs. On Tuesday, September 30, 2026, the beloved screen star took to social media to share a quiet, emotional tribute to her partner of over four decades.


In her first public response since his passing, Silva shared a tender throwback photograph of herself and her late husband on Instagram. Her caption was brief but deeply poignant, containing only a white heart and folded hands emoji, symbolizing her grief and gratitude.


The touching post immediately drew a wave of support from fans, colleagues, and industry stakeholders, who flooded the comment section to offer their condolences and pay their respects to the legendary actor.


An Enduring Love Story and Professional Partnership


Olu Jacobs, born Oludotun Baiyewu Jacobs, passed away on September 16, 2026, at the age of 84. His son, Olusoji Jacobs, confirmed the sad news on social media, describing his father as the Lion of Lufodo and requesting privacy for the family as they grieve.


Joke Silva and Olu Jacobs were widely celebrated as one of the most enduring power couples in the Nigerian entertainment industry. The pair tied the knot in 1985 despite a 20-year age gap. Silva had previously shared that while her father initially had reservations about the age difference, her mother fully supported their union.


Together, they built a lasting legacy that went far beyond their marriage. They co-founded the Lufodo Group, a major media corporation encompassing film production, distribution, and the Lufodo Academy of Performing Arts, which has trained many contemporary Nollywood stars.


A Legacy of Grace Through Challenges


In their later years, the couple's bond was tested publicly as Olu Jacobs battled dementia. Joke Silva managed the challenging period with immense grace and unwavering devotion, earning widespread admiration for her loyalty and strength.


Before becoming a pillar of Nollywood, Olu Jacobs trained at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in England. He built a successful early career in British theatre and television before returning to Nigeria, where his commanding voice and powerful screen presence helped shape the modern Nigerian film industry.
