  The Battle of Imagbon (1892): How the Ijebu Kingdom Fought for Its Sovereignty The Battle of Imagbon, also known as the Anglo-Ijebu War of 1892, remains one of the most defining moments in the history of the Ijebu Kingdom. It was more than a military confrontation—it was a determined stand against colonial domination and a bold defense of a people’s independence, culture, and right to govern themselves. The conflict began after British colonial authorities in Lagos demanded unrestricted access through Ijebu territory to expand trade into Nigeria’s interior and allow Christian missionaries to travel freely. The Awujale and the Ijebu leadership rejected these demands, viewing them as a direct threat to their sovereignty and economic independence. In response, Britain launched a military expedition led by Colonel F.C. Scott. Equipped with modern artillery, Maxim guns, rockets, and well-trained troops drawn from different colonial forces, the British advanced from Epe through stra...

  ‘Boko Haram uses AI to make bombs, plot operations’ A report by  The New York Times  has revealed how Boko Haram terrorists turned to artificial intelligence, AI, for weapons making, including bombs, as well as improving their operations generally. Former insurgents, the report noted, used multiple AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek. According to the report, former Boko Haram commanders told terrorism and technology researcher, Antonia Juelich of the University of Cambridge, that after an assault on a military base was frustrated by a defensive trench, the group consulted AI tools for ideas. That was when they learned how to modify motorcycles to jump over such obstacles. Their mechanics altered motorcycles for speed and acceleration, and fighters practised manoeuvres before operations.

X user @kayi20311 raised the issue in a post, questioning why the aircraft was operating within Angola rather than Nigeria, where the airline is based. The post drew a wave of responses from other users, who clarified that the aircraft is operated by ValueJet, the airline managing Gateway Air’s flight operations on behalf of the Ogun State Government.

Gateway Air, which is owned by the Ogun State Government, was commissioned by President Bola Tinubu in April alongside the Gateway International Airport in Iperu. ValueJet, a Lagos-based...
