Tragedy In Iraq: US Air Force Refuelling Jet Crashes.
A United States Air Force refuelling plane has crashed in western Iraq amid the ongoing military operations linked to escalating tensions with Iran.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed on Thursday that a KC-135 Stratotanker was lost during Operation Epic Fury, the U.S.-led campaign targeting Iranian military infrastructure. Officials clarified that the crash occurred in “friendly airspace” and was not caused by enemy or friendly fire.
Two aircraft were involved: one went down in western Iraq, while the other landed safely. Rescue teams were immediately deployed to locate and assist the crew. Authorities have yet to confirm casualties, urging patience as they gather information and notify service members’ families.
The incident comes amid a widening regional conflict following the February 28, 2026, U.S. and Israeli offensive on Iran, which targeted military sites, missile systems, and leadership networks. Operation Epic Fury involves thousands of troops, fighter jets, drones, and naval assets to weaken Iran’s military reach and regional influence.
In retaliation, Iran has launched missile and drone attacks on Israel, U.S. bases, and allied Gulf nations, escalating the crisis into one of the region’s most serious confrontations in years. Military officials emphasize that refuelling aircraft like the KC-135 are vital for sustaining long-range air missions, allowing fighter jets and bombers to stay airborne for extended operations.
This crash marks the fourth U.S. aircraft loss publicly reported since the conflict began, highlighting the intensity and complexity of ongoing military operations in the Middle East.
Nigerian singer Chike Ezekpeazu has revealed that he is not currently interested in getting married, although he already envisions having a daughter in the future.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Reports indicate that he made the disclosure during an interview with Chude, where he spoke about his views on relationships and his approach to meeting and understanding women.
The singer explained that he often pays attention to a woman’s upbringing, particularly whether she grew up with her father present in the home, saying it is one of the factors he considers when getting to know someone.
According to him, the presence of a father during childhood can significantly influence how relationships develop later in life, and this belief shapes some of the questions he asks women he meets.
Chike added that one of his early questions in conversations with women often relates to their relationship with their father.
In his words, he said he is not planning to walk down the aisle anytime soon but already knows he wants a daughter. He also explained that he believes women who grow up without a father figure may sometimes experience challenges in their romantic relationships, which is why he tends to ask about it early on.
His comments come amid ongoing online discussions linking him to rumours involving media personality Frank Edoho and his former wife, Sandra Onyenucheya.

An All Progressives Congress (APC) Abia South senatorial district aspirant, Prince Paul Ikonne, has said that the Igbo people are not interested in a president who would serve only a single four-year term.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Ikonne made the statement during a media interactive session in Abuja on Thursday while reacting to a pledge by Labour Party presidential aspirant, Peter Obi, to serve just one term if elected.
He dismissed the promise, arguing that when it is finally the turn of the South East to produce a president, it should be for the standard two-term tenure of eight years, like other geopolitical zones in the country.
According to him, political stakeholders in the South East, including governors such as Abia State Governor Alex Otti, are supporting the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Ikonne claimed that Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has also established a mobilisation team tasked with sensitising Igbo communities nationwide to support Tinubu’s re-election bid, including door-to-door and market-to-market campaigns.
He insisted that the expected votes for Tinubu in 2027 would come from Igbo populations across the country, not just those in the South East region.
The APC aspirant further argued that the idea of a one-term presidency for the South East is not acceptable, stating that such an arrangement would shortchange the region. He maintained that when the opportunity arises, the Igbo presidency should last the full eight-year cycle.
He also criticized Obi’s four-year promise, questioning its practicality and suggesting that it would waste time in governance processes.
