North Koreans have been banned from laughing or drinking for 11 days to mark the tenth anniversary of former leader Kim Jong Il's death.

Government authorities have ordered the public to not show any signs of happiness while North Korea commemorates his death.

Kim Jong Il ruled North Korea from 1994 until his death in 2011, and was then succeeded by his third and youngest son, current leader Kim Jong Un.

Now, ten years after his death, North Koreans are being forced to observe the 11-day period of mourning where they are not allowed to laugh or drink alcohol.

'During the mourning period, we must not drink alcohol, laugh or engage in leisure activities,' a North Korean from the northeastern border city of Sinuiju told Radio Free Asia (RFA).

People gather at an event for the 10th anniversary of the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Wednesday.

At midday Friday, as a siren blared for three minutes, North Koreans across the country fell silent and bowed in respect for Kim Jong Il.

If na naija, dem for don give am run. Naija! Naija!! If you rule dem for two days, you go tire for dem.

Ask Buhari, he knows better.

Na wah for Buhari o.

This North Korea is just something else...

That's obtainable where people are "followers".

Dem for kee we finish for Nigeria

Top notch

This can't happen in my country. .na all these IG comedians go spoil am

If fake news could have a name it will be this piece of trash

So I should believe this because a "source" said so?
There many foreign media in NK none reported this "news" but a source decided to tell the world
But who cares? As far it's North Korea it is true

Omo which kind country be this

Ah!

They should have also added: " No love making"

Nonsense!!!

Were they laughing before? North Koreans that are going through hell day by day!
.
Ps. If there's anyone else that is interested in discussing about North Korea and Kim jong Un, then I'm always free to discuss. I've literally watched several documentaries, interviews with defectors, etc

North Korea always in the news for the wrong reasons. Just imagine, you took the freedom of the people away from them and the only thing which comes free, you want to take it again just because a dictator had died. HABA

Their own kinda leadership in North Korea is worst than tyranny. The leader tells the citizens virtually everything they should do.

If I am a citizen in the country, I would have been sanctioned by now because the law itself is funny




Na this kind President dey make Buhari look like a Saint

As if na the president dey feed me. Abegii.

Habbbaaaa..
Forceful implementations to follow.
Millions of deaths to be recorded.

Kai
No Smiling, laughing and joyfulness for 11 days??

Spits

WTF!!!

Every moment of my life I am smiling, if I was to live in this place how I go take cope, even in my worst moments, I still find a way to laugh and smile.
Freedom truly is Underrated.

This short dwarf real evil tyrant

Stories like this make me appreciate being Nigerian more!!




Proudly Nigerian!

I don't know if it is the media. North Koreans will see Nigeria just the way Nigerians are seeing Canada.

You just said my mind. If you want to sell a piece false news, just fabricate something about N.K.

Western media demonizing North Korea, that is what all this is about.

Wetin Adele no go see for the other side

Bad news for the professional comedians in that country. They won't earn a dime for 11 days.
