"Thank you for building with me" Banky W celebrates wife Adesua on the third anniversary of their introduction

Banky W is marking the third anniversary of his and Adesua Etomi's introduction ceremony  by reminiscing on their marriage.

He shared a photo taken on their introduction day and wrote:

The strength of a building is in its foundation. Many new homeowners are focused on the surface things.. the design, paint, finishing and accessories... the things you can see. But the part you can't see is actually the most important of all. The structural integrity of a home requires a foundation that is built to last. If you get the foundation right, everything else can be worked on over time. You can fix cracks in the walls. You can put on a new coat of paint. You can refurbish, redecorate, and renovate. But you need to get the foundation right if you want any chance of standing the test of time.

3 years ago today, we had our "introduction". We took that first step in the #BAAD2017 wedding process, and at that time, we were both very much still works-in-progress. And even until today, we still are. But God has been so good. He's been faithful. He's the reason we have made it this far, and the reason we are deeper in love and stronger in our bond than ever.

Grateful for the journey, every step has been worth it. Grateful for all the lessons learned, and the blessings still to come. Grateful for what we are building, and grateful most of all for our foundation.

Thank you Mrs W. Thank you for loving me, and thank you for building with me. I love you.

And most importantly, thank you Jesus. 
Happy Intro-versary @AdesuaEtomi

US military loses second drone in Niger Republic

Niger Republic

The US military in Niger said Thursday they had lost a second drone in two months, both through technical failure rather than from hostile action in the conflict-torn country.

“A… remotely piloted aircraft was lost near Agadez, Niger, April 23,” US Africa Command said in an email to AFP.

“U.S. forces secured the RPA on April 24. Reports indicate the RPA experienced mechanical failure. The RPA was not lost due to any hostile action,” it said.

A drone crashed in the Agadez region on February 29, the US military announced after that loss, saying that the incident was also due to mechanical failure.

According to the website Military Times, the drone lost in February was an MQ-1 Predator, a long-endurance aircraft.

US Africa Command operate a specialised drone base in Agadez that provides them with a major surveillance platform in the Sahel, where fragile governments backed by France are battling a jihadist insurgency.

The US has also flown drones from near Niamey, the capital of Niger, which is in the southwest of the country.

Niger has given the US permission to base armed drones on its soil.

The US presence in Niger was revealed on October 4, 2017, when four US soldiers and five Nigerien troops were killed in an ambush by fighters affiliated with the Islamic State group.

The Agadez base was completed last year at a cost around $100 million. Earlier this year, its closure was reported to be among options being considered by the Pentagon to reduce the US military presence in Africa.

Washington has some 7,000 special forces on rotation in Africa carrying out joint operations with national forces against jihadists, particularly in Somalia.
