Regina Daniels’ Mother Slams Senator Ned Nwoko: “You Married My Daughter for Status,

Dick Cheney, America’s most powerful modern vice president and chief architect of the “war on terror,” who helped lead the country into the ill-fated Iraq war on faulty assumptions, has died, according to a statement from his family. He was 84.

“His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed,” the family said, adding that he died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.

“Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing,” the family added.

“We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.”

The 46th vice president, who served alongside Republican President George W. Bush for two terms between 2001 and 2009, was for decades a towering and polarizing Washington power player.

Bush described Cheney in a statement Tuesday as a “decent, honorable man.” “History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position,” Bush said.

In his final years, Cheney, still a hardline conservative, nevertheless became largely ostracized from his party over his intense criticism of President Donald Trump whom he branded a “coward” and the greatest-ever threat to the republic.

It was very boring. Nothing to hold one's attention

mecuries:
In a saner clime, this man should be in prison... but, here in Nigeria, we have his son being a military officer. This should tell you that this country is a joke

Buhari4dullard:
why will Trump meet with a drug lord

Another new mafia thriving in South Africa

“They were born out of the university system during a time of activism and opposition to apartheid,” he said. “ was meant to be a liberal, inclusive group supporting equality and social progress.”

“In 2021, eight members were arrested in Cape Town for large-scale online scams connected to networks in Europe and the US.”

He added there are at least five major confraternities active in South Africa , Vikings,Aye-Aye, Buccaneers and Maites.

Ani believes tackling these groups requires cooperation, not just crackdowns.

“Law enforcement should engage them directly. If they truly see themselves as humanitarian or social organisations, they must help identify the criminal elements within their ranks.”

He added that many members are not criminals. Some are professionals, including lawyers, doctors, and politicians.

However, because of the secrecy and loyalty within the groups, even non-criminal members can end up protecting those who are.

Ani is in South Africa to attend a workshop on how these confraternities operate in the country. “We’re trying to understand whether they are purely criminal networks or social brotherhoods,” he said.

“It’s a complicated issue, but engaging them openly might be the only way to weaken these criminal networks that have taken hold.”
