  The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has claimed that some police and army officers collude with Fulani militias in deadly attacks and mass abductions, which target religious communities across Nigeria. USCIRF has now urgedCongress to bar individuals who lobby on behalf of foreign governments that Washington had blacklisted. Those governments were blacklisted for severe religious freedom violations. This is even as US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, revealed yesterday that President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to prioritise Nigerian Christians targeted by ISIS, adding that the directive quietly led to the killing of ISIS’ second-in-command in Nigeria. “There’s a lot of things we do that the media pays attention to, and a lot of things that the president empowers the department to do on behalf of the American people, that he deserves great credit for,’’ he said. In a May 2026 report, titled “Non-state Violators of Religious Freedom in Nigeria: Fu...

  Tristan Thompson has revealed he would still like to have more children with Khloé Kardashian, but she quickly shut the idea down during a recent podcast conversation. Appearing on Khloé’s “Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast, Thompson admitted he does not want more children unless they come from the embryos he previously created with Kardashian. During the conversation, the NBA player directly asked whether they should have another baby together, but Kardashian immediately responded with a firm “no.” Khloé explained that they still have frozen embryos and that Thompson also has stored sperm, but noted that she has full control over the embryos because he signed them over to her.   The former couple already share two children, 8-year-old True and 3-year-old Tatum. Despite their breakup, Thompson appeared to admit he still struggles with the idea of Kardashian dating someone else. When the discussion shifted to her love life, he said he preferred an “ignorance is bliss” approach an...
