EreluRoz:
You said maybe,so it holds no waters.

EreluRoz:
I'm also not saying she shouldn't pay but why is he threatening her as if she's just a stranger. For me ooo I can give and overlook anything and I expect the same. I hate it when couples can't act foolish for each other, I hate it when everyone is trying to outsmart one another, that's not marriage please.

sylve11:
This is where you got it all wrong.

Nothing like jokingly there.

Meanwhile, why us your husband insisting you pay him the money he loaned you?

Na wa o.

EreluRoz:
Yes I would have said the same thing if his wife is threatening rubbish. One thing that keeps couples stronger is the ability to overlook a lot of things for each other.

EreluRoz:
And he should carry out his threats if she doesn't want to pay back? Wahala have started bdat

EreluRoz:
He's a childish man in an adult body. He's not even appreciating the fact that you are productive.

Kingsnairaland:
Sanctions holds no water

Dream25:
No country help for free especially a superpower like Russia...

Russia must be offering them something better or equal for them to do such..

123yes:
Russia is a great country most of these USA sanctions are not working. They have oil and gas and produces 90% of the products they used domestically and even export abroad. They are super world power and don't depend on any country to defend them in case of any aggression from the West and NATO. I think USA is playing politics here always using sanctions to percefy the West.

because he was murdered and a secret burial will foreclose any possibility of an autopsy which will reveal the cause of death

Russia authorities have so far refused to hand over the opposition leader’s body – as Western nations line up to sanction the Kremlin over his death

Russian authorities told Alexei Navalny’s mother that she had mere hours to decide whether to agree to a secret funeral for her son or allow him to be buried in an Arctic prison where he died, his spokesperson has claimed.

In a statement on Twitter/X, Kira Yarmysh said Navalny’s 69-year-old mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, had refused the ultimatum, insisting that they did not have the legal right to offer it.

An investigator called Alexey’s mother and gave her an ultimatum. Either she agrees to a secret funeral without a public farewell within 3 hours, or Alexey will be buried in the colony,” Ms Yarmysh wrote.

“She refused to negotiate as they are not authorised to decide how and where her son should be buried. She is demanding compliance with the law, according to which investigators are obliged to hand over the body within two days of establishing the cause of death.

“According to the medical documents she signed, these two days expire tomorrow. She insists that the authorities allow the funeral and memorial service to take place in accordance with normal practice.”

Navalny, 47, Russia’s most well-known opposition leader, unexpectedly died last Friday in the Arctic “Polar Wolf” penal colony, with his wife Yulia accusing Vladimir Putin of killing her husband and then hiding the body to allow traces of the nerve agent novichok to disappear from his system.

Western leaders have lined up to accuse the Kremlin over the killing of Navalny. On Friday, the US and the European Union heaped new sanctions on Russia on the eve of the second anniversary of its invasion of Ukraine and in retaliation for Navalany’s death.

In specific response to Navalny’s death, the state department targeted three Russian officials the US says are connected to his death, including the deputy director of Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service, who was promoted by Mr Putin to the rank of colonel general on Monday, three days after Navalny died. The sanctions bar the officials from travelling to the US and block access to US-owned property. But they appear largely symbolic given that the officials are unlikely to travel to or have assets or family in the West. Earlier this week, Britain froze the assets of six chiefs of the “Polar Wolf” prison and banned them from the UK.

White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said to “expect more” action later related to Navalny's death, adding that “today this just a start”.

The US government also imposed roughly 600 new sanctions on Russia and its war machine in the largest single round of penalties since Russia’s invasion began. The EU, for its part, added sanctions on several foreign companies over allegations that they have exported dual-use goods to Russia that could be used in its war against Ukraine.

President Joe Biden said the sanctions come in response to Mr Putin’s “brutal war of conquest” and to Navalny’s death.

“We in the United States are going to continue to ensure that Putin pays a price for his aggression abroad and repression at home,” Mr Biden said.

Navalny’s mother and lawyers have been trying to retrieve his body since late last week – drawing support from prominent Russians – but have faced resistance from the authorities.

Navalny’s mother said on Thursday that investigators allowed her to see her son’s body in the morgue in the Arctic city of Salekhard. She said she repeated her demand to have Navalny’s body returned to her and accused authorities of “blackmailing” her into holding a secret burial with no mourners. “They want it to do it secretly without a mourning ceremony,” she said.

Ms Navalnaya also said she was made to sign a death certificate saying her son died of natural causes.

Authorities in Russia have detained hundreds of people as they seek to suppress any major outpouring of sympathy for Mr Putin’s fiercest foe before a presidential election he is certain to win next month.

Posting on social media, prominent Russians have appealed directly to Mr Putin to demand that he return Navalny’s body to his family.

“Just give Lyudmila her son,” Nobel prize-winning journalist Dmitry Muratov said, adding, “It’s awkward to talk about this in a country that still considers itself Christian.”

Nadya Tolokonnikova, who became widely known after spending nearly two years in prison for taking part in a 2012 protest with the band Pussy Riot inside Moscow’s Christ the Saviour Cathedral, also released a video.

“We were imprisoned for allegedly trampling on traditional values. But no one tramples on traditional Russian values more than you, Putin, your officials and your priests who pray for all the murder that you do, year after year, day after day,” Ms Tolokonnikova said.

“Putin, have a conscience, give his mother the body of her son,” she added.

Navalny’s mother has filed a lawsuit at a court in Salekhard contesting officials’ refusal to release her son’s body. A closed-door hearing has been scheduled for 4 March.

First time I will be hearing construction happening in the state in 9yrs

Who is this man secretly dating? Hmm I can't be deceived and I'll surely find out. He doesn't look innocent to me.

Weldone all the same

The Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has approved the construction of a 16-kilometre road to end a 46-year-old land dispute between the Nigerian Air Force Tactical Air Command Makurdi, and its host communities.

The move comes after a meeting he held with a delegation from the Air Force, as well as representatives of Ugondo and Mbaivur communities to discuss ways to resolve the lingering land dispute.

At the meeting on Wednesday in Makurdi, the state capital, Governor Alia said the road would link the borders of Makurdi and Gwer-West, up to the Gwer-West boundary with the Gboko Local Government Area, to make the communities more accessible.

According to him, resolving the dispute will attract more Federal Government presence, thereby bringing more development to the state.

The Governor thanked the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, for his efforts to ensure that the decades-long dispute was resolved, and reiterated his administration’s readiness to ensure that more developmental projects are brought into the state.


He added that the road would serve as a permanent boundary between the natives and the Air Force.

Earlier in his address, the leader of the delegation and the Air Officer Commanding Tactical Air Command, Nigerian Air Force, Makurdi, AVM F. O. Edahosa, noted that efforts made in the past to resolve the land dispute had failed.

According to him; the Chief of Air Staff has also shown interest in the resolution of the case, considering how strategic Benue State is.

He appreciated the Governor for his tireless efforts and desire to ensure peace in the state, pointing to some of the meetings the governor had held with the heads of different security agencies since he assumed office.

Responding, the Mue Ter Ugondo, Chief Clement Kurugh, and Amir Ishor, the representative of the Ter Makurdi, all appreciated the governor and the Chief of Air Staff for wading into the land dispute, saying they trust the governor’s efforts to resolve the issue and bring a lasting solution.

I think the whole world knew the plan already.

They have also claimed the oil and gas reserves in Gaza, and same time already have a road map to build a canal through Gaza.

That has been the plan all along. The genocide was planned.

If approved, project to be largest settlement decision since Oct. 7

The Israeli authorities intend to approve within the next two weeks the establishment of more than 3,300 settlement units in the occupied West Bank, according to official Israeli media.

“The relevant committee is expected to meet within two weeks to approve the establishment of 2,350 housing units in the Maaleh Adumim settlement, about 300 in the Kedar settlement, and 700 units in the Efrat settlement,” the official Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said on Friday.

The decision comes in response to the shooting attack on Thursday near the Maaleh Adumim settlement, which resulted in the death of an Israeli soldier and the wounding of at least eight others.

“A section of the road leading to Al-Za’im checkpoint east of East Jerusalem will be closed to Palestinian movement for a period of at least two weeks,” it added.

If the settlement project is approved, it will be the largest settlement decision since the Israeli war on Gaza on Oct. 7.

The current Israeli government, headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is known for its great support for settlement in the Palestinian territories.

Estimates indicate about 700,000 Israeli settlers live in roughly 300 illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

All Jewish settlements in the occupied territories are considered illegal under international law.

Tensions have been running high across the West Bank since Israel launched a deadly military offensive against the Gaza Strip following an Oct. 7 Hamas attack.

More than 400 Palestinians have since been killed and 4,400 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice over its deadly onslaught on the Gaza Strip, which has left more than 29,500 people dead.

In an interim ruling in January, the Hague-based court ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.

you guys are not ready yet

The Benue State Security Council has handed a 14-day ultimatum to herders violating the state’s anti-open grazing law to stop rearing their animals outside ranches.

The Benue State Security Council has handed a 14-day ultimatum to herders violating the state’s anti-open grazing law to stop rearing their animals outside ranches or have themselves to be blamed.

Our correspondent reports that the security council meeting which was chaired by Governor Hyacinth Alia resolved that herders must comply with the state’s Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Law (2017), insisting that the law is still in force.

Addressing journalists at the Government House in Makurdi on Tuesday night, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Tersoo Kula, said the council also constituted a seven-man committee to ensure the enforcement of the ultimatum given to the violators which began on Wednesday, February 21st, 2024.

The council further called on herders who recently flooded the state with their cattle grazing openly to immediately leave the state and return to where they came from, warning those who invited them to immediately desist from the act.

Meanwhile, the council urged people of the state to remain calm and be security conscious as the state government is making efforts to secure the lives and property of all citizens.

The security council, therefore, tasked security agencies, traditional rulers and the general public to report for prosecution any person in the habit of collaborating and inviting the armed herders into the state.

The council added that the hardship and looming food insecurity across the nation was being looked into and urged the people of Benue State to remain calm as efforts are being put in place by the government to address the challenge.

Benue State is one of the north central states in Nigeria that has been ravaged by herders/farmers crisis for over a decade now, with the promulgation and implementation of the anti-open grazing law exacerbating the crisis.
