Trump Renames Pentagon as ‘Department of War’

President Donald Trump has announced plans to rebrand the Department of Defense as the “Department of War,” a move the White House says is aimed at projecting a stronger image of American military power. According to a White House document released Thursday, the order authorizes use of the new label as a “secondary title” for official correspondence, public communications, ceremonial events, and other non-statutory documents. Defense officials may also be addressed with titles such as “Secretary of War.” The formal legal name of the Pentagon remains the Department of Defense, but Trump said the new label conveys “readiness and resolve.” He is expected to sign the executive order Friday afternoon during an Oval Office event. Trump, who has frequently criticized the Defense Department’s current title as being “too defensive,” argued the change revives a legacy tied to past American victories.“The […]

DHQ Warns Ex-Soldiers to Stop Illegal SDA Protests

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has cautioned discharged soldiers protesting at the Federal Ministry of Finance over the Security Debarment Allowance (SDA), describing the demonstrations as illegal. Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Markus Kangye, issued the warning on Friday, saying the protests were obstructing official activities at the ministry and would no longer be tolerated. “The Defence Headquarters acknowledges freedom of legitimate protest, but the veterans are strongly advised to trade with caution and vacate the premises of the Federal Ministry of Finance in order to pave way for normal government functions to be seamlessly conducted,” Kangye said. He clarified that neither the government nor the DHQ owed any arrears of SDA, noting that payments were being made according to the wage charts applicable at the time of each soldier’s retirement. According to him, gratuity and SDA are calculated […]

Trump Ends Protection for 250,000 Venezuelan Migrants

The Trump administration has announced it will terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 256,000 Venezuelan migrants, opening the way for large-scale deportations. TPS was first granted under President Joe Biden in 2021 and expanded in 2023, allowing eligible Venezuelans to obtain work permits and protection from removal. A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson said the decision was based on “public safety, national security, migration factors, immigration policy, economic considerations, and foreign policy.” The spokesperson added that TPS had created “a magnet effect” for irregular migration and undermined the Trump administration’s border security efforts. The protections will formally expire on September 10, but DHS clarified that the termination will take effect 60 days after its notice is published in the Federal Register. Pending applications — including 3,728 new requests and more than 102,000 renewals — will also be […]

Colombian Footballer Slaps Female Referee After Red Card

Colombian footballer Javier Bolivar is under heavy criticism after slapping referee Vanessa Ceballos during a midweek match between Real Alianza Cataquera and Deportivo Quique. The incident occurred in the 66th minute when Bolivar, who was already off the pitch, was shown a red card by Ceballos. Before she could fully raise the card, Bolivar confronted her and struck her across the face with his right hand. Ceballos reacted furiously, attempting to kick Bolivar before players intervened. One goalkeeper pushed Bolivar away as outrage spread across the pitch. Footage of the altercation has since gone viral, sparking condemnation from fans, media, and football stakeholders, with calls for strict disciplinary action. Bolivar later issued a lengthy apology on Instagram, describing his behaviour as “disrespectful and inappropriate.” He denied intentionally hitting the referee, claiming he had only tried to grab the whistle from […]

WHO Urges Nigeria to Allocate 20% of Budget to Health

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has called on Nigeria to increase public health spending to at least 20 percent of the national budget to strengthen its healthcare system. The appeal was made by WHO Regional Director, Prof. Mohamed Janabi, on Thursday in Abuja during the National Health Financing Dialogue themed “Reimagining the Future of Health Financing in Nigeria.” Janabi described sustainable healthcare financing as the backbone of resilient health systems, stressing that higher investment would reduce out-of-pocket spending, protect households, and improve access to care through stronger prepayment and pooling mechanisms. “With over 223 million citizens, how Nigeria finances health is critical not just for its people but for Africa’s future. Healthier populations are more productive, more resilient to shocks, and better positioned to drive inclusive growth,” he said. Commending Nigeria’s health reforms, including the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund, the […]

US Warns Citizens in Nigeria, Defends Visa Revocations

The United States government has defended its recent revocation of valid visas issued to Nigerians, describing the move as a national security measure. This comes as the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria issued a fresh security alert on Tuesday, warning American citizens against unnecessary travel to military and government facilities, particularly in Abuja. Reports earlier in the week revealed that dozens of Nigerians — including students, business professionals, frequent travelers, and families — had their visas revoked without prior notice. Former NNPC spokesperson, Femi Soneye, raised the alarm, saying many affected individuals received formal letters instructing them to submit their passports to the U.S. consulate, only for their visas to be cancelled. In response, a U.S. Embassy spokesperson told BBC News Pidgin that the cancellations are in line with Section 221(i) of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which empowers […]
