Not Bucharest in 1989, but an anti-mobilisation riot in Lviv last night. A large crowd of people attacked recruitment officers, overturned and smashed their car.

In Lviv, a major confrontation has erupted involving Ukraine's Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC).
Hundreds of people gathered to defend a man who was being forcibly conscripted by draft officers. Chanting "Shame!", the crowd confronted the draft officers, and in the ensuing… pic.twitter.com/0awL5Kk8nK
🚨🇺🇦Ukrainians in Lviv Catch Zelensky’s Human Kidnappers, Ripping Their Uniforms Off!
Huge riots exploded in one of Ukraine’s biggest cities after Zelensky’s mobilization thugs tried to snatch a 20-year-old kid off the street and drag him straight to the front.
A large crowd of Lviv residents destroys a car of a press gang to stop forced mobilization. This is the most anti-Russian region in Ukraine. Will the Western media propagating the continuation of the war in Ukraine even report this? https://t.co/WDWLWembQIpic.twitter.com/MGuQh6bCwN

there's rejoicing in your camp, Mr WriterNig and his fellow Putinistas. That some draft dodgers have rioted. Must be good to have something to celebrate after the relentless and constant news and videos of burning Russian refineries and military formations. Congrats.
Eba50: them don surround our forests, targeting those going to farm or building houses in isolated areas. once aoc win next year, na full force of insecurity
Jakumo: This is a sad development for innocent drone hobbyists who might be unaware that they could wind up in a net over their hobby.
Oddly enough, drones are easily available from online sellers located in Nigeria, which shows that those resellers import their drones with ease.
The way I understand it, you need some form of documentation to use a drone of certain capacities. I'd be surprised if ALL drones now require a licence.
Kobojunkie: They are exactly that... part of the Islamic agenda. These folks have made themselves clear of the intentions behind much of their action. Why are you lot deadset on telling people to deny what is right before their eyes?
I'm beginning to realise the K in your name stands for combat. You should join the army.
All the SW governors need to get together and link their capitals by rail. I'm sure the obsession with "cargo airport" is sated already and we can rest from that one.
God1000: Iran has the right to defend itself and respond to any illegal aggression from US and Israel
It's now do me I do you, God no go vex
Defend itself bawo? By attacking civilian ships in international waters after the signing of a truce? Some of you have completely lost your way. You've become anti-war warmongers, anti-crime criminals, freedom-fighting oppressors. Smh.
callmeDDD: While Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Putin are drinking wines in their houses, but wasting innocent people's lives for something they will still stop and shake hands to, one day. Crazy!.
Putin do this one. Not Putin and Zelenskyy. Mr Putin started the war. He bombed Kharkiv and killed the student. The Ukrainians are only fighting for their lives. Stop bothsiding.
Wasn't Henan the one that left a student to rot in a DSS cell that year while she carried on her own studies in London? So she's peaceful. Good to know.
GreenCovering: In Islam, an adult is officially set at a maximum age of 15. Moreover, a female child should be trained well before this age to allow for the assimilation of the culture. Even if we put this at 13 (which is considered very late to start the training but let's soften our own stance), that still captures the greater percentage of the students who are being denied the opportunity to learn their religion. So this is absolutely wrong.
No right is more fundamental than what the constitution already provisioned.
Mind you, no one is saying that kids can't wear the hijab. Send your kids to a school that allows hijab and let them wear it to your heart's content. You say no, you must force it on a school that has set its uniform and did not include hijab. Sho.

Nigeria is not an Islamic theocracy under Sharia. To be considered an adult, you must be 18. Sorry.
Training up the child in the parents' religion is the business of the parents. Sorry. Thank God the kid is not in school 24 hours.
The Constitution allows school authorities to regulate schools, set rules and discipline kids. Sorry.
When the issue of hijab in NYSC came up some years ago, I argued strongly that a hijab has never harmed anyone and that the NYSC has no business rejecting it. But you see kids? We have a responsibility to ensure that they learn to live by societal rules by obeying school rules. A school is not Dugbe Market where you wear what you like, and an aggressive minority should not be allowed to bring chaos to our schools.
GreenCovering: No institution, school or system has the right to set rules in violation of a fundamental provision of the constitution which allows for freedom of religion.
Hijab wearing has nothing to do with extremism. As much as muslims try to separate extremists from Islam as not part of us, muslims also should not be hurt where the constitution already protected them.
I agree a hijab is a fundamental right. But that applies to adults. Schools have the fundamental right to set their uniforms. A school is a regimented and regulated place. No one must be allowed to turn it into Dugbe market where you wear what you like
Moment IGP Bluntly Confronted Governor Adeleke- "You Are Hibernating Unwanted Criminals Inside The Government House". Adeleke should submit the thugs he has been harbouring in government to the Nigeria Police Force in Osun State. Enough of violence in Osun. pic.twitter.com/GvNELNS5Pj
Gentlesoul2021: This same guy has been advised by the general pastor to upgrade to the latest aluminium window fabrication which he didn't take serious but wanting to be a pastor.
GreenCovering: Why should wearing hijab be an issue for God's sake. Something that is worn proudly by both major faiths in Nigeria in their earliest pure roots except that one group decided to throw theirs away and even began to hate on it because of the love of the world. Moreover it is a plain denial of constitutional provision. It shall not stand. Funny how a private schools uses the name "University of Ibadan International School". They should be stripped of the "University of Ibadan" part of their name to start with because that is riding on the popularity of the name of a federal institution.
It's about the right of a school to set it's own rules, including uniforms.
Namaster: Because, how else would someone INTERPRET what is clearly an attempt by an ILLEGITIMATE Military Regime to CONTROL what the masses learn in order to CONSOLIDATE power as a SUPERIOR way to improve education.
However, this Burkina Fasso new education policy is the only way to make the country educational system to work. Just extend it to Health and automobile.
Yea, I have mixed feelings about this. Whatever I think of Mr Hudeyin and Mr Traore.
He has little to no patronage as the general populace no longer consider that kind of window. He's now covering up with church work doing brother brother thing... I want u to know I am not faulting him but asking critical questions...
I need genuine opinions on a relationship dilemma.
My younger sister is 31 years old. She's highly educated with a master's degree, works with an NGO as a Programme Coordinator and Mental Health Counselor, and is also a skilled fashion designer with equipment worth over ₦2 million. She's hardworking, focused, and has consistently supported our family. Her job has taken her across different states, exposing her to diverse experiences and opportunities. Above all, she's deeply committed to her Christian faith.
She recently met a fellow church brother who has expressed serious interest in marrying her. However, he left school after Primary Six and works as a traditional window louvre fabricator. While there's absolutely nothing wrong with learning a trade, he has had opportunities to upgrade his skills to modern aluminium fabrication but hasn't pursued them. Instead, he seems more interested in becoming a pastor or working in a church, though he currently has no clear or realistic path to achieving that.
Another concern is the family dynamic. My mother and the young man's mother serve in the same church unit. On several occasions, whenever he goes out for a job, his mother would call him back or redirect him for other errands, and she would even mention these things to my mother. This has given us the impression that she relies heavily on him, raising concerns about the level of responsibility he already carries within his family and how that might affect his future marriage.
My mother strongly opposes the relationship, believing the gap in education, career progression, ambition, life direction, and even family expectations is too significant. I understand her concerns and tend to agree, but it also raises an important question.
Can love alone sustain a marriage when there's such a wide difference in education, ambition, exposure, career growth, and family responsibilities? Or should long-term compatibility, shared vision, emotional maturity, and the ability to build a stable future together carry more weight than love?
I'd genuinely appreciate respectful and honest opinions from both married and unmarried people. Please keep the discussion civil and objective—this isn't about looking down on anyone because of their educational background or occupation, but about understanding what truly makes a marriage work in the long run.
Unfortunately, most people have still not realized the one thing to look it for in a future partner. Kindness.
TopBanter: MTN is a privately-owned business. How can it be held accountable for the wrongdoing of the Citizens of a nation it is linked to ?
This is crude and no different to demanding innocent children be punished and jailed for the sins of their parents.
Brilliant
TopBanter: It is the Nigerian Government that must take the lead and cut off trade ties with South Africa if they are serious and not about playing to the gallery alone and empty sabre rattling.
Not brilliant. Cutting off trade ties will hurt us too.
Government must think of the national interest. I don't really think there's much Nigeria can do to hurt South Africa that won't amount to cutting off your nose to spite your face. Remember there are SA investors here exploring where to put their money as we speak. And there are Nigerian investors over there too.
We should take our L (whatever that means) and move on.
Of course, citizens can boycott MTN, Multichoice and others. That's how you respond to things like this.
Emeskhalifa: Is this the game Atiku wants to play?
Isn't there a form of law that prevents that from happening? You can't work for Mr A then resign to work for Mr B when you know they are in competition
I wonder if the defectors know something we don't: that Mr Atiku is going to win.
