Should I pity him, he must be one of those delusional people praising and hailing Putin everyday, thinking doing such thing will make the Russians to embrace him forgetting the racism that exist in the Russian society.
The same fate awaits any black man that joins the IDF, they won't even accept any of you guys worshipping them on daily basis, please wake up Africans, wake up Nigerians
This is what he got after all the sacrifices he made and risking his life
[Nigerian Student Who Abandoned Studies To Join Russia Military Operations In Ukraine Pleads For Citizenship
A Nigerian national, Adam Mohammad Bakur Mohammad Ibrahim, 24, has been seeking Russian citizenship since May 2024.
He joined the Skif Cossack battalion in November 2023, where he was given the call sign 'Vanka' and participated in special military operations (SVO) as a member of the unit.
In December 2023, Russian media featured a story on Vanka, a Nigerian national who had captured a Ukrainian soldier, as seen in a video posted online, RT reports.
After completing his six-month contract, Adam returned to Voronezh, where he had previously studied at the Academy of Sports. He hoped to resume his studies and obtain Russian citizenship, but faced obstacles in acquiring a Russian passport.
Seeking assistance, Ibrahim reached out to RT. His journey in Russia began in September 2023, when he enrolled in the Voronezh State Academy of Sports. Two months later, in November 2023, he took a leave of absence from his studies to join the special military operation (SVO), with the academy's consent.
“In November 2023, I wanted to volunteer for the Northern Military District,” Adam told RT. “I went because I wanted to stay in Russia after studying and become a citizen of this country.”
As a non-Russian citizen, Adam was unable to enter into a contract directly with the Ministry of Defense. However, there is a legal workaround for foreign nationals who wish to support Russia's military efforts: they can sign an agreement with an organization authorized to carry out tasks assigned to the Russian Armed Forces in the Northern Military District.
Adam enlisted in the Skif Cossack battalion, which is part of the Terek Cossack brigade, and was given the call sign 'Vanka' during his service.
Adam signed the agreement on November 11, 2023, and was initially assigned as a shooter.
However, he quickly demonstrated his versatility and acquired an additional skillset as a UAV operator while on the front lines. During his deployment, Adam participated in combat missions in the Soledar direction, earning a reputation as an exemplary warrior, as noted by the chief of staff of the Skif DRO in his official description of Adam's service.
The document reads, “During his participation in the special operation for the denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine and being in the Adam Mohammad Bakur detachment, Mohammad Ibrahim with the call sign Vanka, in the position of shooter, established himself as a responsible, courageous, conscientious, strong-willed, disciplined warrior.
“In the performance of his patriotic duty, he performed combat missions, despite the conditions directly associated with the risk of life. During the period of a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine for the specified period, as part of the 35th separate volunteer detachment "Skif" repeatedly participated in hostilities in direct contact with the enemy on the front line of defense of the detachment. He enjoys well-deserved authority and respect within the team.”
When Adam's contract with Skif expired on May 4, 2024, he returned to Voronezh, planning to resume his studies and expecting to do so as a newly minted citizen of the Russian Federation, having hoped to have his citizenship application processed during his time away fighting.
While Adam was serving on the front lines, President of the Russian Federation's Decree No. 10, dated January 4, 2024, came into effect.
The decree stipulates the conditions for foreign citizens, like Adam, who have signed a military service contract with the Russian Armed Forces or affiliated military formations, and their family members, to be admitted to Russian citizenship
According to the presidential decree, Adam is eligible for simplified Russian citizenship, allowing him to bypass the usual naturalization process and gain citizenship through a more expedited route.
Despite being eligible for simplified citizenship under the presidential decree, Adam's efforts to obtain Russian citizenship have been met with failure so far.
The young man alleges that he sought assistance at the Voronezh EMC, but was left without guidance or support. Meanwhile, returning to his home country of Nigeria has become a risky proposition for Adam, as he faces potential imprisonment for mercenary activities.
Adam said, “I stayed on the front line for six months, my contract expired on May 4.
“Now I have a problem with obtaining citizenship. For now I am in Voronezh and continue to study at VGAS. At home they could arrest me, they could give me 20 years in prison.”
Beey: Because our president is Biden’s puppet & he want to please his master. He sent our officers there in spite of a court order barring him from doing so. The African executive have no respect for their judiciary.
you are from Kenya, good to know.
Your president should have obeyed the court order, but this is Africa where the executive branch doesn't respect Court decisions
And Kenya is boiling at home, I wish them all the best in their mission sha, I wonder why the neighboring Caribbean countries cannot help Haiti that they have to seek help from faraway east African country
Police from Kenya stand at the Toussaint Louverture International Airport after landing in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, June 25, 2024.
Kenyan police arrived in the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, on Tuesday as part of a U.N.-backed multinational security mission to combat gang violence.
Last July, Kenya offered to head an international force to combat violence in Haiti, where gangs control most of the capital and killings, kidnappings and sexual violence are rampant.
“The people of Haiti deserve to feel safe in their homes, build better lives for their families, and enjoy democratic freedoms. Haiti’s future depends on the return to democratic governance,” U.S. President Joe Biden said in a statement.
More than 580,000 people across the country have been left homeless because of the gangs
This is too bad, why killing innocent civilians asking for change through peaceful protest, and this same Kenya is sending police officers to quell violence in Haiti.
Shame on President Ruto, he has blood on his hands
The government has been taken by surprise by the intensity of opposition to its tax proposals mostly led by young, Gen-Z Kenyans which culminated in the scenes at parliament that played out live on television.
Images shared on local TV stations after crowds broke through the barricades showed the building ransacked, with burnt furniture and smashed windows.
As police fired at the angry crowds, leaving several bodies strewn on the ground, protest organisers urged people to walk home together and “stay safe”.

Auma Obama, the half-sister of former United States President Barack Obama, has been teargassed by police during an interview with CNN live on air, while protesting Kenya’s controversial finance bill Tuesday.
Obama, a Kenyan-British activist, was speaking to CNN’s Larry Madowo alongside a group of young protestors when the group was teargassed in Nairobi.
“I can’t even see anymore, we’re being teargassed,” Obama said in dramatic footage captured by a CNN team on the ground.
Kenya is in the grip of nationwide protests against proposed tax hikes, culminating in a planned “total shutdown” of the country.
The demonstrations, sparked by the Finance Bill 2024, have seen citizens rally under the banner of “7 Days of Rage,” as the nation faces more days of upheaval.
“I’m here because look at what’s happening. Young Kenyans are demonstrating for their rights. They are demonstrating with flags and banners,” Obama said.
President William Ruto has said he wants to have dialogue with the protesters and that he is “proud” of them. However, security forces have been accused of abducting prominent Kenyans, particularly those who have large social media followings.
Amnesty International Kenya says it is investigating the whereabouts of up to 12 people who were “abducted in the middle of night” ahead of Tuesday’s planned protests.
The list includes bloggers, content creators, human rights defenders, a doctor, and a parliamentary staffer, Amnesty Kenya executive director Irũngũ Houghton told CNN.
We are horrified by some of the testimonies we have heard over the last 24 hours. We have about 12 people unaccounted for who have been picked up, in many cases, by people who are uniformed or not uniformed,” Houghton said, adding that that they had not received legal assistance and their families didn’t know their whereabouts.
“We are now seeing not just abductions but disappearances,” he said.
CNN has reached out to the Kenyan police for comment.
The protests come as Kenya’s standing gains global prominence as US President Joe Biden designated the country a “major non-NATO ally” on Monday, marking the first time a sub-Saharan African nation has received this status.
In May, Biden announced his decision to elevate Kenya to this designation while hosting President Ruto at the White House for a grand state visit, celebrating 60 years of diplomatic relations between the two nations.
Popesuccess: That was what one rich female Pastor did to my brother. When you refused to be used and quit, they will start using the police and the corrupt and useless judicial system to deal with you. Do you know that the police woman is charge who is clearly a friend to this Pastor insisted my brother pay even when all records showed he took nothing from that woman. Thank God some of the junior officers investigated the matter and clear my brother after he has spent 4 days in police cell.
The so-called madam should be arrested and prosecuted, I don't know why some rich women treat their househelp so badly in Nigeria, they degrade and dehumanize them for no reason.
I think government should step in and put in place legislation that will protect these girls from their wicked madams
It is always madam doing this evil, men don't even have time for such thing
This is 31yrs old Odoma Veronica from Benue State Oju LGA (igede by tribe) has been suffering in KIRIKIRI maximum prison since December last year.
According to what was narrated to Ukan Kurugh, her Uncle said "she was a cook of a certain big woman in Lekki by name Kimberly Laguda, she has informed the woman she wanted to stop the work since the woman won't pay or allow her go for Xmas/New Year to see her own children.
It was just after two days of stopping work that the madam called her to come and sign an undertaken for telling the other house help that the woman's 9 months old son will die"
That was actually where her problem began and she said the allegations are baseless because she had no reason to even say such thing to anybody. the woman again accused her of the missing Korean beads, a pair of shoe & Gold amounting to N15.5million.
The said big woman got her arrested and locked up before her poor uncle got to know what happened, the house help was charged to court and sent to Kirikiri prison since December last year. The uncle said he sold almost every of his little belongings to get a lawyer and all the 5 times the case came up, he discovered his lawyer appeared one time. He got another Lawyer who has appeared twice but he can't go further due to financial constraints. The next adjournment is 18 July 2024 and he doubt about sponsoring his lawyer again. The woman had told the court she won't be around on the previous adjournment because she will be going back to London.
She basically has nobody to fight for her considering the fact the woman Na big madam and using her money to fight her way through. The uncle also told Ukan Kurugh he spoke to the woman one time and she said she can wave off her missing beads & gold but the girl must plead guilty to the shoe she took for everything to end but the man insisted her relative did not take anything out of her house since she was searched by the security men in her building before leaving on that fateful day.
Her uncle Edwin Omaha Jarius can be reached on 08033686873.
