Navy Offers Free Medical Services To Rural Communities In Bayelsa

Nigerian Navy has extended its monthly medical outreach to rural coastal communities in Bayelsa State, as part of its effort to promote a cordial relationship with the communities where it operates.

The medical team at the Central Naval Command (CNC), which comprises of doctors, pharmacists, ophthalmologists and other medical professionals, offered full day free services at Otua community in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of the state, south-south Nigeria.

Flagging off the event, the Flag Officer Commanding CNC, Rear Admiral Mohammed Garba, noted that the free medical mission would henceforth, focus on rural communities who lack access to basic health services in Bayelsa State.

“The navy remains committed to building a cordial relationship with you our host community. We will do this by what you are seeing now.

“We are here to provide free medical and humanitarian services to the people of this community,” he said.

Rear Admiral Garba also urged the people to support the Navy in its effort to stamp out oil theft and prevent sabotage on oil installations within their communities.

On his part, an indigene of Otua community and a retired Rear Admiral, Thomas Lokoson, urged the people to desist from oil theft and pipeline vandalism, saying it results to self-inflicted adverse consequences that could be prevented.

He noted that oil leaks and spills resulting from pipeline breach by vandals pollute waterways and farmlands as well as threaten the livelihood of residents in the community.

The retired naval officer regretted that the funds that would have been channeled to development were used for clean-up exercises to solve environmental problems that were avoidable.

The traditional ruler of Otua community, Edward Tokpo, who also benefitted from the free medical mission, applauded the Nigerian Navy for the gesture.

“This is the first in my over 40 years reign as the paramount ruler of this community that we are experiencing this kindness. Thank you Navy, you have indeed done well,” he said.

Mr Tokpo further pledged the cooperation and support of the community to the Nigerian Navy in its effort to secure oil facilities and the coastal communities

Nigerian Airforce Acquires New Aircraft From Pakistan



The Nigerian Airforce (NAF), has increased the number of aircrafts in its fleet with the procurement of four Super Mushak Trainer Aircraft from Pakistan, for the training of student pilots.

Speaking during the induction and handing over of the aircraft in Kaduna, Nigeria’s Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, and his Pakistani counterpart, Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman, explained that the new platforms would boost the fight against insurgency.

He noted that the latest acquisition of the Super Mushak aircraft would equally impact positively on pilot training efforts of the Nigerian Airforce and also in line with President Muhammdu Buhari’s commitment to equip the service for enhanced professionalism.

The Super Mushshak is a military trainer / light attack aircraft designed and manufactured by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).

It was designed to provide primary flight training to the pilots of the PAF Academy and also could be used for both military and civilian missions.

The symbolic commissioning of the aircraft at the 301 Flying Training School in Kaduna marks the official takeover of the new platforms by the Nigerian Airforce

Abubakar, further stated that it will also help in fighting insurgency in the country, which is part of the reason why it was bought.

How Psquare’s Split Inspired Darey’s ‘Pray For Me’

Singer, Darey Art Alade, reveals that his classic ‘Pray For Me’, featuring Soweto Gospel Choir, was inspired by the relationship breakdown of pop duo, P-square.

He explained that although it was inspired by them, it went beyond their story.

The song according to him, centers on independence, ones sojourn in life, trying to find your way and the efforts of ‘Nigerian’ parents especially, in trying to put their children on the right path.

It follows the brave sojourn of the coming of age of an African young man and his quest to find his path to success.

Darey also praised the Soweto Gospel Choir who he said featured on a couple of other songs off his 2015 ‘Naked’ album.

Working with them, according to him was as a result of similarities he discovered between himself and the choir, more so, he decided to make it “cross continents”.

Speaking of his career in general, he said that in entertaining an audience one of the best feelings is when they can sing along to your songs.

“It’s a nice feeling especially when you are singing songs that they know and love.”

The multiple award winning singer, whose fourth studio album, produced the single ‘Pray for Me’, still continues to bask in the accolades received from the critically acclaimed song
