 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.

PAMELA ANDERSON OPENS UP ABOUT RECOVERING AFTER HEPATITIS C ‘DEATH SENTENCE’ DIAGNOSIS IN VENICE SPEECH: ‘I’M NOT A VICTIM, I’M A VICTOR’.(PHOTO).


 Pamela Anderson opens up about recovering after hepatitis C ‘death sentence’ diagnosis in Venice speech: ‘I’m not a victim, I’m a victor’


Pamela Anderson used her recent appearance at the amfAR Gala Venezia to reflect on one of the most difficult chapters of her life: her hepatitis C diagnosis in 2002. She recalled being told by doctors that she had “around 10 years to live,” a prognosis that she described as a death sentence. 


The diagnosis, which she has said came from sharing tattoo needles with ex‑husband Tommy Lee, deeply affected her decisions at the time not out of fear for herself, but for her young sons, Brandon and Dylan.


Anderson explained that the financial burden of treatment drained her savings, but she persevered. By 2015, she announced she was free of hepatitis C, thanks to medical advances that had produced a cure in 2011. In her speech, she emphasized her resilience, declaring, “I’m not a victim, I’m a victor.


 I am strong and capable, more now than I could ever dream of.” Her words underscored a transformation from vulnerability to empowerment, rejecting the “damsel in distress” image often associated with her.


The gala, held during the Venice Film Festival, honored Anderson with the Award of Courage, presented by her Place to Be costar Taika Waititi. The event also celebrated Marina Abramović with the Award of Inspiration and featured performances by Mimi Webb and Bebe Rexha. amfAR, dedicated to ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic, has also advanced research on hepatitis C, making Anderson’s recognition especially poignant. 


Her story illustrates both the personal toll of illness and the strength found in overcoming it.
