It's true, the soldiers have been sending messages of appeals to SA government to come and rescue them and an investigation was initiated and this may be the outcome as they are spilling the beans now.

The worst path to even take is to consider a legal way to sort things out . Lawyers go drain you ,while magistrate go dey adjourn case up and down . You will be left regretting why you didn't just accept your sack as a part of your fate and move on with your life

sow4me: You should have gotten hold of your daughter if you are truly sure she is yours.
A woman like that would raise a terrible child with her lies and hypocrisy.
My brother it's not easy claiming a child outside marriage in igboland. Infact if the guy had continued in their marriage, the child is his own according to Igbo culture. Anyway she held on to her like her life depends on it, because that's all she has now. And I don't blame her.
My brother I didn't. After her family rejected me when the guy show face ..see when film start. Omo my eye blurry! The guy was abroad and that made the lie easy, no ring. Nothing to show. It was when she was pregnant the family adviced her to reach out to him since he promised her American green card, he came and slept with her and that's how they pinned the pregnancy on him and me too was shocked with the whole thing and laid back with serious shock especially after they rejected knowing me, see people I visited down to their village. Anyway the guy later knew since he had friends in the bank we worked to the extent he called me and I told him to sort things out with the lady, that I was lied to and knew nothing.
To cut the long story she lost me and lost the other man too,along with the green card they had their eyes on. Still a single mother and me I had to move on.

Of course if you smoke you can't make money from it. You will consume your merchandise as the addiction increases, it's that simple. Listen to Notorious BIG 10 commandments
Okoroemekah: when we are growing up in the early 90s the hardest substance you can easily get is marijuana and you hide to smoke it.but now seeing the names of things avaliable is very scary
More harder substances will still be introduced. As the world evolves, so does evil. But whoever invented Colo na bastard devil straight from the abyss of hell.
One thing you must have at the back of your mind, most vendors don't smoke the drugs they sell. Ask yourself Why?
iwaeda: In one of Lagos’ busiest and most chaotic suburbs, Agege’s Isale Oja, dreams are quietly extinguished as dangerous substances tighten their grip on young lives amid deep-rooted societal neglect. With drugs sold openly, poverty entrenched, and hope rapidly fading, survival for many youths seems far-fetched. IBRAHIM ADAM writes that in this densely populated neighbourhood that struggles to cope with a crisis that grows more alarming by the day, families watch helplessly as their children slip deeper into a vicious cycle of addiction
In one of the bustling streets of Isale Oja in Agege Local Government, Lagos State, where life thrives amidst the daily buzz of commerce, a young man known in his community as The Law reportedly died after smoking a substance called Colorado, popularly referred to as Colos.
The Law, not yet 30, was one of three brothers grappling with addiction. His elder brother, popularly known as Mission, already bore the signs of the heavy toll substance abuse takes, while their younger sibling, Saddam, remains at risk of following the same perilous path.
During a visit by Sunday PUNCH to Capitol Bus Stop, Alagbigba Street, and the winding alleys of Market Street, it was evident that drug use is an open secret.
Explainer: Cholera
Youths smoked and consumed substances without fear, often mixing dangerous chemicals into soft drinks and sharing them casually among friends with impunity.
Investigations revealed that The Law and his brothers are originally from Kano State, but the pattern of substance abuse transcends ethnicity.
Across Agege, both Hausa and Yoruba families face the heartbreak of children drawn into addiction.
Authorities, such as the Lagos State Task Force, typically carry out operations at night, targeting individuals suspected of drug abuse or violent behaviour.
Crackdowns by security agencies, as reported by PUNCH on 21 May and 20 June this year, revealed that 114 suspected criminals were arrested in Agege.
These raids focused on hotspots such as the Railway Corridor (Ojurin), Oke Koto, AP, and the Isale Oja community.
Isale Oja Market, famed for its fresh produce, including meat and fish, and attracting shoppers from across Lagos, remains a vibrant hub,
Traders also sell materials for traditional practices, making the market a central destination for daily needs and cultural essentials.
The community’s rich cultural identity shines through events like the annual Gbogunleri Isale-Oja Day, which unites residents through cultural displays, sporting events, skill acquisition programmes, and lively performances by local musicians.
Even prominent visitors are not immune to the stark realities of the neighbourhood.
When Afrobeats star Adekunle Temitope, popularly known as Small Doctor, returned to his Agege roots, he was confronted with a sobering scene. In a heartfelt post on X, he shared:
“I strolled through hoods on Sunday, and what I saw was heartbreaking. The rate at which young chaps use drugs nowadays is alarming.”
He graphically described youths who appeared disoriented, noting that some were “sleeping while standing,” while others maintained unnatural postures, completely detached from their surroundings.

GravityDefier: Happy new day wonderful people of NL. A close friend of mine has been having severe migraine that seems to be increasing with each passing year. This is gradually putting her in a state of depression as the medication she has been taking (Lexotan) is not working effectively on her again. She's scared of tramadol addiction so she had to disregard it upon the Doctor's prescription.
This has given me much concern on how to help but just don't know how to. I confirmed it has no cure. The pain transfers to her ears, eyes and now to her tooth which made her to remove the tooth of recent (Doctor's suggestion).
She goes through this experience at least 2-3 times every week which makes her to take the drugs in excess as it's now almost non-effective.
Those who have experience + Doctors in the house, is there any means (herbal or any surgery) that can help?
He should go for medical examination. It could be a sign of stroke.
Toruibestate: Offcourse its me. If I really use my already gotten level well. My people produce over 90 percent of all Nigerian Crude oil deposit both onshore and offshore hence the unjust balkanization when we are not even scattered.
The entire Ijaw Nation gave me full time back up to lead them to the promise land.
Both Tompolo and Asari Dokubo are now politicians.
Even they themselves are backing me up because they have served and leave for me to get it right.
We have Ijaw Republic Suit for Referendum in Abuja High Court, we have given Ijaw Republic Documents to United Nations.
I’ve been pushing legislation to designate Nigeria a CPC and to impose sanctions on the Nigerian officials responsible.
Thank you to President Trump for his leadership in imposing the designation, and more broadly, for fighting to stop the murder of Christians in Nigeria.
