Other countries show pictures and encourage a media parley with survivors, in Nigeria; its all about reckless journalism and a ploy to keep the news alive to continue looting.

Anytime my Delta flight arrives Murtala Mohammed Airport for vacation, I get so excited and ready to devour and ravish the excesses Lagos has to offer me, I hardly ever want to go back to the United States but after 2 weeks and $2200 spent; I begin to realize that "I am in Nigeria" and it's time to get out

All I know is that the British will certainly not go scot free for creating this "Niger area"

Most times I wonder if these people are normal, soldiers flogging people, a stupid governor demolishing people's property, all the billions donated by Dangote, Otedola and co thoroughly looted and yet you are telling the people to prepare for the worst.

I disagree with Nnamdi Kanu but quite agree with him on the "Zoo" theory.

My trip to Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Poland in August of 2019 clearly shows that those economies are clearly prepared for anything that may come.

I sincerely apologize for supporting Buhari in 2015, Jonathan's government with it's unprecedented corruption left I and some people with no choice than to support "anything"

Three US Marines stepped in to detain a passenger who allegedly made threatening comments during a flight from Japan to Texas.

Capt. Daniel Kult, Sgt. John Dietrick, and Pfc. Alexander Meinhardt were headed to Texas from Tokyo on Monday when a passenger on their flight barricaded himself inside a bathroom and began screaming, according to an online statement from the Marine Corps.

Dietrick said that even through the headphones he was wearing he could hear someone inside the bathroom who sounded "distraught."

That's when the three Marines gathered outside the restroom while a flight attendant unlocked the door, according to the release. Once it was open, the Marines restrained the passenger with flex ties.

"I knew I had to step in when he became a danger to others and himself," Meinhardt said. "I didn't think twice about helping restrain him through the rest of the flight."

After securing the passenger to a seat, the marines kept their eyes on him for the remainder of the flight.

It's unclear why the passenger was distraught.

"At this time we cannot identify the airline or comment on the disposition of the passenger, as the incident remains under investigation," Marine spokeswoman 2nd Lt. Kayla Olsen told CNN.

The flight eventually arrived at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport after initially being diverted to Los Angeles International Airport so the passenger could be transported to a local hospital for a mental evaluation, the release said.

The US Attorney's Office for the Central District of California and the FBI continue to investigate the incident, according to the release.

Buhari why?

Interestingly, I have made so much progress during this Trump era.

My immigration consultancy service is thriving due to the inconsistency and panick driven immigration policy from Trump's team, I wish he is there forever but I just don't like him, someone close to me was denied Visa

When I look at the actions of Nigerian youths, I believe they are even worse than the leaders. What a shame!

I am Yoruba but I strongly believe in the Theory of the "Zoo"

Meanwhile, if you are in Indianapolis, Indiana; holla at me, I can be of help.

Based on the nature of my job, I am opportuned to know so many Nigerian doctors and nurses here in the United States and I can just imagine that Nigeria has the most educated and sophisticatedly brilliant black people in theworld.

To think that some people have been our leaders for 30 years and counting is really sad and horrible.

If not for white people, we go don die since.

One of my regrets is supporting Buhari, Jonathan's looting and savage sharing of our common wealth made me dislike him and his cronies but when you look at Buhari and his unforgiven attitude; I am left to wonder what options would I have been left with in 2015.

A. A clueless drunkard surrounded by common criminals
B. A man that does not forgive

I am in a tight corner.

Sowore, Kanu, Fela, Fawehinmi; these people are seeing something that no one else sees.

You chained your children for 2 years but died in just 1 day of incarceration.

What an eediot!

The moments of glory is rare. When you have the opportunity, chance it and make the most of the moment.

I don't blame him, if it were me I will do a VIDEO.

God bless America! We die here!

I went to Winners Church for a Sunday service in 2008 looking for a job, Bishop prayed for me and I got 2 jobs that week.

I WILL NEVER FORGET!

Highly developed nations don't even spend half of what we spend in Nigeria on more mega project . What a cursed people! What a cursed nation!

Nigeria cannot be good in this generation and soon our kids will begin to sue us for raising them in Nigeria.

Man or Woman, Nigeria is a cursed nation. Buhari or Jonathan, Nigeria is a cursed nation. Nigeria cannot be good in this generation; if I were you I would leave Nigeria and come back decades later.

For me; I am in the United States and I would come back after a very long time. Hopefully, it would be okay by then.

Thursday, US prosecutors charged 80 people -- mostly Nigerians -- in the widespread conspiracy that defrauded at least $6 million from businesses and vulnerable elderly women.

Of those, 17 people have been arrested in the US so far and federal investigators are trying to track down the rest in Nigeria and other nations.

"We believe this is one of the largest cases of its kind in US history," US Attorney Nick Hanna said.

A plan to smuggle diamonds:

The whirlwind online romance between FK and Garcia was all conducted on a Yahoo email address with no phone calls. Garcia told FK he wasn't allowed to use a phone in Syria, according to federal authorities.

Demands for money started after he told her he'd found a bag of diamonds in Syria and needed her help to smuggle it out of the war-torn nation. He said he was injured and could not do it himself -- and introduced her to associates he said would help facilitate the transfer, court documents allege. One said he was a Red Cross diplomat who could get the diamonds shipped to FK, court documents show.

Shortly after, another man who claimed to work for a shipping company asked FK for money to ensure the package was not inspected at customs, the complaint alleges. Requests for additional money kept coming, with the fraudsters citing different reasons each time on why the package was stuck at customs.

"FK estimates that she made 35 to 40 payments over the 10 months that she had a relationship with Garcia. During that time, the fraudster(s) emailed her as many as 10 to 15 times each day, and Garcia was asking her to make the payments, so she kept paying to accounts in Turkey, the UK and the US," the federal criminal complaint says.

The loss of money has left FK angry and depressed, authorities said. "She began crying when discussing the way that these losses have affected her," the criminal complaint says.

17 arrested and dozens on the run:

The scams were not just limited to romance, Hanna said. They included business schemes where fraudsters hack escrow company email systems, impersonate employees and direct payments that funnel money back to themselves.

"In some cases, the victims thought they were communicating with US servicemen stationed overseas, when in fact, they were emailing with con men," Hanna said. "Some of the victims in this case lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in this way."

Of the 80 people charged, federal authorities arrested 14 people mostly in Los Angeles, the local US Attorney's Office said Thursday. At least three other defendants were already in custody. The remaining suspects live in other countries, mainly in Nigeria, and investigators said they'll work with the respective governments to extradite them.

How the scam worked:

Investigators detailed an intricate scam traced to two key suspects who oversaw the fraudulent transfer of at least $6 million and the attempted theft of an additional $40 million.

Once co-conspirators based in Nigeria, the United States and other countries persuaded victims to send money under false pretenses, the two Nigerian men who lived in Southern California coordinated the receipt of funds, the indictment says.

The two men provided bank and money-service accounts that received funds obtained from victims and also ran the extensive money-laundering network, the complaint alleges.

The two men were arrested Thursday. All defendants will face charges of conspiracy to commit fraud, conspiracy to launder money, and aggravated identity theft. Some also will face fraud and money laundering charges.

Paul Delacourt of the FBI's Los Angeles warned people to be careful as romance scams escalate nationwide. The Federal Trade Commission has said scams that prey on vulnerable people cost Americans more money than any other fraud reported to the agency last year. More than 21,000 people were conned into sending $143 million in such schemes in 2018 alone, it reported.

"Billions of dollars are lost annually, and we urge citizens to be aware of these sophisticated financial schemes to protect themselves or their businesses from becoming unsuspecting victims," Delacourt said.

This guy grew up in the UK and enjoyed one of the best lives in Europe, sad he never lived long.

If you look at all the problems a country is facing and Bobriskshit imbecilic and disdainful stories comes up, the first question that comes to mind is if Buhari and his team are paying Bobriskshit to divert our state of mind.

If Sowore and Nnamdi Kanu can be arrested, I see no reason why this guy has not been arrested since Buhari and his team are technically running a "Saudi-styled" regime.

Port Harcourt, one of the most unsafe place on earth. They should hold their governor responsible for failing them. Crimes committed in Rivers State is despicable and sickening.

I just got back from an European tour, I visited Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Germany and London. These countries too are heavily populated but you need to see how thousands of trains, subways and buses helps people to connect so FAST and EASY. Dedicated rail tracks and roads for buses was clearly noticeable.

Almost all the population in Denmark had bicycles, at 4pm I saw people with Suit and Ties riding their bikes home.

I took a train from Copenhagen, Denmark to Malmo, Sweden and the whole trip lasted for 2 hours and 45 mins. The problem is not the population, the problem is black man-kind.

We may never get it right!

You are SMART!

America has always been worst than Iraq. It always puzzled me how people on this website could support that monster Trump. He is trying to rid America of all brown and black immigrants including Nigerians, and he openly called Nigeria a shythole country and he is still loved by a lot of continental Nigerians.

Have you noticed when it's Muslims who attacks Americans the press will call them terrorist but when it's whites who are doing the attacking they are called mass shooting? This is purposely done.

Trumps hatred and bigotry of non whites has made it ok for all of the white race soldier to show themselves. Black Americans used to defend Hispanics when whites we're discriminating against them but we stopped years ago when they started their bigotry towards blacks which was taught to them by the whites. They actually thought they were respected by the whites but whites respect no other races. The Hispanics want our support but they will never get it, as some of my people like to say "They can hold their own nuts."

What is also sad are the Nigerian Americans. They betrayed us in order to get in with whites, or so they thought. Trump has influenced the whites to show their true selves to them as well and now they are trying to get them out of the country. Now the Nigerians want our support by fighting for them through immigration but unfortunately for them they have to "hold their own nuts also."

This is a race war and black Americans need to get armed.

That stat is a lie, and the vast majority are in dangerous hoods, gang related crap.

The GVA (Gun Violence Archive) said there have been 33,237 total shooting incidents, resulting in 8,796 gun deaths and 17,480 injuries, as of Monday afternoon.

Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan all combined still dey learn work.

CTPlayer:
LOL total hogwash.

With Trump's tweet and reckless rhetoric; people are being slaughtered (Americans inclusive) and you call it hogwash. I don't blame you, you are a Nigerian and lives don't mean nothing to you.

I see how some Ignorant people on Nairaland praise Trump for loving Americans and putting Americans first, it's so shocking that some of those comments gets 350 likes, that shows how Ignorant people on these forum are. Some people even claim that Trump is the best president ever. How dumb can some people be Trump does not love anyone who is not white! QUOTE ME ANYWHERE! The level of hatred amongst Americans themselves is unprecedented.

I live in the United states and I can tell you now that America is now worse than Iraq, no one is safe, even Mitch McConnell and other top people are currently living in fear. The hatred Trump has created is overwhelming. Sad!!!

Foreign nations are warning their citizens that traveling in the United States could put them at risk of becoming a victim of a mass shooting.

A statement Monday from Uruguay’s Foreign Ministry warned about “growing indiscriminate violence” in the U.S.

It urged Uruguayans traveling there to avoid “theme parks, shopping centers, festivals, religious events, gastronomic fairs and any kind of cultural or sporting events.” U.S. authorities are unable to prevent mass shootings because of “indiscriminate” gun ownership, the statement said.

Venezuela’s foreign minister released a similar statement, also warning its citizens to avoid large gatherings where mass shootings might occur.

The Japanese Consul in Detroit on Sunday published an alert that said Japanese nationals “should be aware of the potential for gunfire incidents everywhere in the United States,” which it described as “a gun society.”

The advisories come after two deadly shooting attacks in the U.S. in the span of less than 24 hours.

First, a gunman opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, killing 22 people and wounding dozens of others.

Hours later, nine people were killed when a man sprayed bullets into a crowd of people on a busy street in Dayton, Ohio.

The shooting in El Paso has sparked particular concern from Latinos around the world.

The suspect in that incident allegedly drove from Dallas to El Paso with an intent to target Latinos.

Eight Mexican citizens were killed in the attack, and seven more injured, according to Mexican Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard.

On Monday, after touring two hospitals where survivors were being treated, Ebrard told journalists that Mexico’s attorney general may charge the suspect with committing terrorist acts against Mexican citizens in the United States.

Foreign countries have issued warnings in the past about the propensity of mass shootings in the U.S., including France, New Zealand and Germany. El Paso police said Monday that one of the victims in the Walmart attack was a German citizen.

Nigeria is a nation that should still be under colonial rule so that the right people can be in the right place doing the right thing.

This is not a nation, this is a disaster, a total mess.

A country is bedeviled by hardship, instability, insecurity, agony, flood, corruption, and criminals cum ministers taking a bow at the National Assembly and all what can be sensationalized is a senseless, low profile and semi-literate called Taa!cha?

Chai! What is the offense of Nigeria?

Some African Americans were given a choice to go back to Africa almost 173 years ago; these guys settled in Sierra Leone and Liberia of today; if they knew what will be in stock for their generations they would have stayed back in the Americas.

What a disaster called Africa!!! What a shame!!!
