TravelRe: Over 20 People, Children Die In Cars Trapped In Snow Storm In Pakistan(Photos) by AlphaTaikun: 7:17pm On Apr 11, 2022
Explorers:
At least 22 people including 10 children have died after a heavy snow storm left 100s of cars stranded in a mountain resort town in Pakistan.

Eight of the fatalities were from the family of Islamabad police officer Naveed Iqbal, who died alongside his wife and six children.

Police said most people had frozen to death in their cars but that others may have died from asphyxiation after turning on their vehicle's heaters to keep warm after getting stuck on the road.

More than four feet of snow fell in the hillside town overnight on Friday, trapping tourists and blocking all incoming traffic to Murree, around 70km northeast of the capital Islamabad, the next day.

The gent that died in the ring was a middleweight boxer.....hence his thin look.

Middle weights weigh between 54 lbs (70.5 kg) and up to 160 lb (72.5 kg).....hence his lean look.

Boxing has several weight divisions....see link here :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_class_%28boxing%29#Professional_boxing

Nigerian crossdresser, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju known popularly as Bobrisky has reacted to a bill by the House of Representatives to prescribe sanctions for cross-dressing in Nigeria.

Bobrisky in his post on Instagram said he is not a crossdresser but a transgender.

Her post reads;


In a following up post he wrote;



https://www.instagram.com/p/CcJUDM6Imgt/
Well Bobrisky is NOT a crossdresser but a transgender with the full features of a woman. Female hormones have also been pumped into "her" to get those feminine curves and voice on a hyper level.

I'm glad to be a man with my well-toned muscles, stubbles,
and swag. Can't ever give those variables and more up. Bobrisky has the latitude to do as "she" pleases as a trans. To each his
own. wink

I hope she will be happy when the hormones start antagonizing each other.
However, as a medical professional. I still find it very hard to understand the rationale behind it.
Most doctors decline trans as patients because they are cumbersome to treat.
It's ethically wrong for a medical
professional to decline a human being... including a transgender like
Bobrisky. Are you not bound by the

Foreign AffairsRe: Colonel Alexander Bespalov Killed! Putin Loses 9th Top Ranking Officer by AlphaTaikun: 4:23am On Apr 10, 2022
Igbofam:
A NINTH Russian colonel has been killed in Ukraine as the country’s armed forces say 19,000 of the invaders have now died.

Colonel Alexander Bespalov was given a funeral back in Russia but many soldiers corpses have been left to rot on the battlefield, to the despair of their mourning relatives.

Bespalov was a tank commander and he becomes the latest senior officer Vladimir Putin’s forces have lost in the disastrous invasion.

His death comes after Ukraine announced it had "eliminated" Colonel Denis Kurilo, commander of the 200th motorised rifle brigade, in fierce fighting outside the country's second city Kharkiv.

Bespalov was commander of the 59th Tank Guards Tank Regiment, Russia’s 74.RU news website reports.

No more details were revealed about the circumstances of his death but pictures show him with a large number of medals.

Throughout the war, video has emerged of large numbers of Russian tanks being obliterated by Ukrainian soldiers using missiles supplied by Britain and other countries.

Earlier this week shocking footage showed bodies of Russian soldiers piled up after they were allegedly ambushed in Sumy, northeastern Ukraine.

Many relatives of dead Russian soldiers have yet to see their bodies returned home.

Vadim Kolodiy's mum Tatyana has not received the body of the 19-year-old, who died after he was trapped in his armoured personnel carrier.

“No one cares about them. How many of these children, husbands, are there? How much pain had this all brought?”

Bespalov’s death comes after at least seven of Putin's generals were wiped out in the country.

In comparison, the Soviet Union lost just five generals during ten years of brutal fighting in Afghanistan in the 1980s.

One of the other senior officers killed was mown down was mown down and killed with a tank by his own men after leading them to huge losses on the battlefield.

Western officials say mutinying troops deliberately crushed their Colonel Yuri Medvedev of the 37th Motor Rifle Brigade.

It comes as it comes as a Kremlin spokesman admitted to "significant losses" of troops.

Vladimir Putin's mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov said the losses were a "huge tragedy" for Russia.

RUSSIA'S SLAIN COMMANDERS
Putin's top brass killed since the invasion of Ukraine:

Major Dmitry Toptun
Major Alexey Osokin
Major General Vitaly Gerasimov
Major General Andrei Kolesnikov
Major General Andrei Sukhovetsky
Colonel Nikolay Ovcharenko
Colonel Sergei Porokhyna
Colonel Sergei Sukharev
Colonel Andrei Zakharov
Colonel Konstantin Zizevsky
General Magomed Tushaev
Colonel Alexei Sharov
Colonel Yuri Medvedev
Colonel Denis Kurilo
Colonel Alexander Bespalov


As well as tank soldiers, large numbers of elite airborne troops have also been killed.

Haunting video shows the pictures of all 55 soldiers from one elite Russian regiment killed in Ukraine lined up on a table.

The pictures of the dead soldiers from the 247th Guards Airborne Regiment include Colonel Konstantin Zizevsky who was killed in the south of Ukraine.


At the end, a long line of photographs can be seen, testament to slaughter faced by Russia's forces and in particular its airborne forces in Ukraine.

Reports are now emerging of mutinies among Russian troops, with even paratroopers among those refusing to fight.


According to Ukrainian estimates, 19000 soldiers have now been killed fighting the Russians.

A senior NATO official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told AP that figure could be as high as 40,000 captured, injured or dead Russian troops.

This has prompted Russian elite paratroopers to stage a mutiny after witnessing their comrades being wiped out in battle, reports claim.

Among them are said to be soldiers from the 247th Guards Airborne Regiment.

Itohan22:
Nobody is buying from me on Nairaland cry cry cry
How can I boost my post
Hey @Itohan22,

First off, are you still a student or
you're done with school and just
using this as a side-hustle? Your
degree of motivation is key here.

I want you to go and learn about
WhatsApp marketing and you will
start seeing results alongside your use of Twitter marketing. Take a short physical or online training
in digital marketing in Lagos
where you are. I'm aware of a few trainings which do not exceed 20k.

Learn how to use WhatsApp Business to reach out to clients.

2. Second, the first advice given to
you by the chap above is brilliant so I don't need to repeat it here again.

3. Third, and this is very important.
Do NOT post your product ads
randomly on NL threads otherwise
the mods would "delete them" if they find out. I've been on NL since 2005 so I know this fact. NL also wants to make money through paid ads.

4. The main places you can place your contact and product details for FREE is in your NL profile and NL signature file.

I want you to change the colours of the words in your sig file to make them bolder or more visible to the eyes. Use red, yellow and black colour combos, and have your
Weblink in the sig file.

As you post your opinions about
topics on the NL front page and help people with advice or solutions as you post, they will
get to see your signature details.

You can then also place a paid ad via Nairaland Ads after paying
N20,000 for ad visibility to see how the response will be... If it's not significant or profitable then ditch it.

Last but not least, do NOT sell on
credit to some family and friends (as many people like you who sell
imported or locally made stuff
have learned the hard way) because they tend to owe and eventually you will not be able to recover your money or goods sold. Always collect your money in full.


Ciao. wink

We write threads and blogs about how men are this and that.. how "we are the prize" and are doing men a favour - yet, a few months into the average Nigerian relationship, women are already pressurizing their boyfriends to meet the family and propose to them.

We claim we are 'scared' of marriage and yet we join groups like Sisterhood Africa-Global on Facebook where thousands of women can be seen praying and fasting for a husband and posting their wedding testimonies.

We tell each other that marriage is not an achievement yet the married ones shame others for not having a spouse.

We claim our traditional duties of cooking and cleaning is a shared responsibility but refuse to share the 'traditional' duty of financial responsibility with our husbands.

We insult men under the guise of feminism but cry blue water when they start to injest 'redpills' and decide to go their own way.
True that. The domino effect.
FamilyRe: MARTIAL BED: My Wife Says No Sex Until Her Mother Leaves Our House. by AlphaTaikun: 7:52pm On Apr 09, 2022
Oyindamolah:
MARTIAL BED.

My wife says no sex until her mother leaves our house.
FROM MY COUSIN:

I'm happily married with two young kids ages 2 and 4. We stay in a 2-bedroom apartment and usually leave the connecting door ajar so that if the kids wake up during the night they may have access to our room to seek comfort, which is very frequent especially during these noisy thunder storms.

My problem started with the arrival of my mother-in-law, less than a week ago to spend 2 months. Of course, she sleeps with her grand kids in their room.

This doesn’t stop them from frequenting our room during the night, so the door is still left ajar. Much to my amazement, my wife has now told me that she will no longer allow us to copulate during the time her mother is with us. She said her mum scolded her and feels we are rude to engage in lovemaking knowing fully well that she is in the adjoining room.

My wife has always feared her mum so it is impossible for me to convince her that this is her house, not her mum’s. I don’t see myself going one week without sex, talk less of 2 months! Is it my fault that the bed creaks or that my wife has to make noise at her height of ecstasy?

I feel that my mother-in-law is being very intrusive and insensitive and I’m prepared to talk to her and ask her to leave if she insists on tormenting my wife, but I know that my wife won’t find it funny at all.

What should I do?
LOL... They can lock the door and turn up the volume of the music system or radio set for 30 minutes with some soft music tunes wafting in the air to drown any moans, while they both have a decent time making out and copulating till they both deeply exhale. Period. wink

Bro take easy on yourself.

You may decide to learn a skill because of the money you hope to earn from it
But it's all assumptions, there's a likelihood you'd learn the skill and still be struggling
But still learn all you can learn now!!

Read books about Wealth creation, it would expose you to a different way of seeing money. Eg. Think and Grow rich, the richest man in Babylon etc.

As you're job hunting, start hunting for your life purpose. The moment you realize it, your view of life would shift and you'd stop worrying over every situation that looks like a problem.

Know yourself, discover your talents and what you're unique at, discover your calling.
Use this time to know yourself.
I pray you get all that you deserve and at the end, everything would be alright , and if it feels nothin is alright, just know it's not the end.
So preserve, keep trying things, you'd fail but if you learn you'd eventually succeed
Well said! Developing your
inner game or mental strength
first is the key to unlocking the
unlimited opportunities in the universe.

I first read and re-read the hard copy of the iconic "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill in the late 1990s, and it's good you mentioned it here for the young man (OP) to read.

"The 80/20 Principle" is another book that would enable anyone to manage time, relationships, and investments effectively. 20% of your daily activities will give you
80% of your daily results.

I have these 2 solid books in
my home library among other personal finance and management books.

If Sankara lived long enough he would have turned into a dictator. Blaise didn’t kill him alone, there were Belgian soldiers who confirmed the death and looted the man’s remains as souvenirs. Why won’t those ones face justice? Here I was thinking Thomas Sankara was originally Gambian.
He was a Burkinabe revolutionary leader not a Gambian. Lol.

I differ with you a bit here because
I witnessed the sequence of events back in the 1980s. Thomas
Sankara's spartan ideology and iconic speeches from when he came on the scene in 1983 to 1987 (when he was assasinated by
Blaise Campaore and his French sponsors who were uncomfortable with his strong values) show that
he wouldn't have been a dictator.
He would have been fair but firm
if he had stayed longer though!


Thomas Sankara was a strong believer in female affirmative action because he knew full well that when you train a woman, you train a nation.


Sankara was a close friend of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and whenever he
came to Nigeria for official visits,
he would go to visit Fela at the Kalakuta Republic in Lagos. When
Sankara passed on, Fela released the Underground System album that dealth with Sankara's values and memory.

Hope this helps.
