This western media and fake news

Ukraine's foreign minister is Western media? Interesting theory you have here.

GoodHardDick:
We have nothing to say until we have heard Timaya's side of the story

I like the phrase "picked him up for questioning".

Karemarealty288:
Mumu opportunist do the needful and report to police not social media.

For the Timayas of the this world, social media is more effective than police. Your report on social media then follow up with police if need be. Way to go if the story is true.

You were one of the people saying Ukrainians are racists for not letting Nigerians and other Africans in the train, what would you call this? Close to 100 Sokoto students in Ukraine both scholarship and self sponsored students were all evacuated to Budapest from Ukraine? Why the segregation now? Why didn’t they try to help the rest?

Seriously?

Actually python is harmless. It has no venom.
It can only swallow you if it is very huge.
I don't think the python in that hostel can swallow any human

Yea. This would be a royal python not a rock python.

Righteousness2:
LGBT , Abominations and Evils is what has crippled Nomerica , Europe and the Nations. It is Evil and will Cripple and Destroy those who Engage in it.

Putin is Gog! It is his time to rage. But GOD ALMIGHTY will deal with him and his Magog nations when they invade Israel

So America and Europe have been crippled. Interesting. So which countries are not crippled? Nigeria and Israel, I guess.

Simran94:
The train wasn’t for refugees. It was basically a train to transport people from the part of Ukraine that was under fire.
They didn’t allow not just Nigerians but also indians and Ghanaians in because they still had their citizens on the queue. I don’t know where you are getting your reports from but from the video we saw on Aljazeera, the soldiers at the train station asked the Ukrainians on the queue to raise their hands so they could identify and allow them in first before any other set of people.

Also, Indians were later allowed to board the train after they made a call through to the Indian embassy in Ukraine but they said they were not able to reach the Nigerian embassy yet so they couldn’t put them on the train without letting their people know where they are taking them to. I remember a lady shouting to the camera saying that the Nigerian embassy couldn’t be reached so they wouldn’t let them in on the train and that was when some Nigerians started making calls people in Top offices in Nigeria to help them reach the Nigerian embassy. It was all mentioned in the video we watched on Aljazeera.

Do you know what a refugee/displaced person is? Apparently not. Black folks running away from a fire should be sent back into the fire until some ambassador picks a call? In any case, you're only talking about one instance. There have been plenty that don't involve any embassy.

Simran94:
It’s not racism.
During a war, you don’t expect a country to use up all their resources to protect foreigners while their citizens are perishing behind.
Same applies to you, you would protect your family first before thinking of helping your neighbors or strangers

If black people are prevented from boarding trains that were designated to take refugees and you're a black person and you don't have a problem with that, I don't know what to say to you.

You and Reno would be making a bit of sense If only Ukrainians are evacuated first, followed by all others - Europeans, Africans, Arabs, Asians, etc. Here, Africans are being singled out and prevented from boarding trains and are being asked to provide visa to be admitted into a neighbouring country and you're talking about "resources". I hear. Why not extend the same courtesy to South Africans who are merely protecting their "resources" from Nigerians?

We're not saying they should extend free education to Nigerians or share iPhone for them. We're saying that all HUMAN LIVES should be prioritised in a WAR SITUATION. And you're talking about resources. What is wrong with you people?

aboyaji:
To me, there's nothing bad the Ukrainian Government did to Nigerians in Ukraine.

This is unrest and security breach. Priorities must come first.

Why were even Nigerian citizens in Ukraine running away from the chaos?

Why did they not stand by the Ukrainian Government to fight the war coming from Russia?

You do not run away from your house while your enemy attack, you stand and protect your interest.

Ukrainian soldiers are doing the work while the strangers were running away. So, there's no way same treatment can be given to all. It doesn't happen.

Priorities first.

I don't want to talk about the South African menace. They're worse off. Xenophobia is hell.

So you have a problem with SA's xenophobia not are cool with Ukrainian racism. Interesting.

CharleyBright:
Does your President jetting out on 2weeks private visit to France now makes sense especially at a time some Nigerians are trapped in Ukraine?
Does it shows he is concerned?
Let your answer be YES or No

I see you're just concerned about criticising Buhari - nothing more. Ok. That man is a failure. You want me to stay here shouting that with you or you want to see how the problem on ground can be solved? Anyway, carry go. Buhari is no good. END. Let's all go home.

CharleyBright:
Who gives Final approval for actions to be taken?
Where is your president as of today?
Catching cruise in France at a time when all other President's are at home coordinating evacuations of their citizens.
Is he concerned?

Key word here is "final approval". Those in charge of external affairs can recommend a lot. The president only needs to give final approval. I doubt these people are coming up with proposals and the president is turning them down because only southerners are suffering.

Remember how Viola Onwuliri made it expensive to mess with Nigerians when she was at the foreign ministry?

CharleyBright:
Carry Nigerian flag ke?
Means they no want to be evacuated be that.
Have they seen Nigerians being evacuated by their govt?

Truth be told, the govt know that majority of Nigerians trapped in Ukraine are Southerners (schooling or working), wetin a Northerner wan go do for Ukraine?
Hence the govt is slow in responding.
If the warring country was a country that Northerner are many like ( Arab countries), the govt would have been proactive to evacuate them.
Govt acting based on vested interests.

But the foreign minister and the chairman of the Diaspora Commission are both southerners.

Rollsnjaguar:
Those urging western nations on will be shocked at what Putin is capable of. I know Putin will never loose, instead he will deploy nuclear weapons.

Putin will never lose? You think he can deploy nukes and then win? Interesting.

Kobojunkie:
God no send you pay anything to anyone so what should I be telling you about your Pagan endeavors?

Are you sure about this?

Ezekiel 44:30
Verse Concepts
The first of all the first fruits of every kind and every contribution of every kind, from all your contributions, shall be for the priests; you shall also give to the priest the first of your dough to cause a blessing to rest on your house.

Also read 1 Cor 15:20.

Bible God sanctioned first fruits here. It's as clear as night and day. So how can you say giving my first fruit is a Pagan endeavour not sanctioned by God?

Egypt cannot be there... The country is free from terrorist, only Algeria and libya experience terrorism in the north Africa.

In East Africa, I would have choose somalia over Ethiopia but base on the position of Ethiopia in AU.... Ethiopia leads.

This G4 is good... NATO won't be happy right now..... Africa is getting stronger

Somalia over Ethiopia. Why?

Victerica:
Why do you say that they want us, to remain in this sorry state?

Because it's easier to blame others for your problems than to take responsibility for them.

CSTRR:
Resource alone is nothing.

The so called G-4 is supposedly to solve African issues.

A state that ruled by various militias has nothing to offer.

They themselves need help.

Egypt would have been better, along with Kenya.

Yes to the bolded. I guess the dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia got in the way. I'm also not sure of Egypt's stance on Western Sahara.

BloomingDale:
They should add an East and Central African country preferably Congo from Central Africa and Kenya or Tanzania from East Africa.

Ethiopia : Horn Africa
Algeria: North Africa
South Africa: Southern Africa
Nigeria: West Africa

For Nigeria to be effective, South and Middle Belt should separate from Arewa.

Congo is too dysfunctional. Kenya definitely. Ghana, perhaps.

Kobojunkie:
God does not bless that which is not of Him so where do you get this idea that God goes against His own Word to bless your tithing rituals?

You have not answered the question. Instead of confusing us further, please tell us who we should pay our first fruit to. Bless us with an answer - I know you can do it.

Goodplace:
Please, can first fruit offering be given to a biological father for God to reward?

If Given to a Priest or Pastor will it carry more blessings?

Can first fruit offering be put in the offering box as an act of faith for Gods blessings?


Th. you.

You must give your first fruits. To me. Note it's your full January salary we're talking about - in case you're planning to cheat God. Here's my account number: XX338Xurew. God bless you.

greatness77:
Shut up, many countries told their citizens to leave, didnt u see the Z shape on russian tanks? Nawa for u guys, buhari is a carnage

The US and some other Western countries told their people to leave - in the last few weeks. Nigeria did not. Many countries did not. But I doubt you have any respect for facts.

TechTack:
Why did they wait till this long? The whole world knew this would go down as far back as December last year

I doubt the whole world did. Putin said he wouldn't invade and some people believed him.

Maxymilliano:
Quakers had noted during cross-examination that on the said ID card, the witness was identified as Assistant Chief Medical Record Officer, while he told the Court that he was the Head of the hospital’s Medical Record Unit.

Under re-examination by lead prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, the witness, however, clarified that what was on the ID card was his rank and that by designation he is the Head of the Medical Record Unit.

Lawyers though.

Guyman02:
Stop lying sir, the abandoned some of the loot and vehicles after some brave youths used obstacles to block their escape route, give due credit to Edo youths for once in your corrupt life

You saw that line too.

mytravels:
Hi guys

Please i have a question, the way i am seeing EFCC and ICPC confiscating corrupt politicians and government workers assets, what if ones money is not from stealing public funds?

I am still young and have this big dream of becoming rich, and i know with government job you will never be rich( i mean rich).

So what if i start business and it become successful such that i have assets everywhere, will EFCC still seize those assets thinking i got them by stealing public funds, or what did Nigerian law says?

I think you're only allowed to FARM as a public sector worker. But why not shun the civil service, face business and become rich?

We know. We don't need an "investigation" to tell us this. What we need an investigation for is to fish out the bastards and punish them.

okoroemeka:
seems you watch too much DStv,these dare devils stakeout the area for weeks and knows every opposition point,I was in umunze when they came first and invaded the police station,army station and sars office after chasing every security men inside bush they robbed 4 banks and loaded 2 sienna full of cash and went away,

Who's watching too much DSTv now? Tell me how the suggestion that our police should have basic preparedness is proof of watching too much TV. You're comparing an insurgency to a bank robbery. Of course, criminals won't storm a bank they haven't been to. That takes nothing away from what I said.

Hammyaladin:
hmmm. But Edo was the state were the first jail break took place last yr, right?

Yes. When criminals took advantage of the ENDSARS protest, which was against criminal policemen.

Golan007:
So they would just station a whole unit of snipers there until the day there's a bank robbery?

Do you notice that the banks in that town are concentrated in the same place? Are you also aware that this town has been notorious for armed robbery in the past? No, sir, they don't have to station a whole unit of snipers. I didn't say so, did I? But they ought to have stationed SOMETHING, anything. That could a sniper or two, APCs hidden on streets not far from that banking hub, a rapid response team not far away. Anything, but something. Here, we had NOTHING. And that's the general story of security in Nigeria, which is what I had in mind.

Jakumo:
Those perfectly timed multiple and simultaneous bank robbers, and the expert deployment of explosives to breach fortified bank buildings, bear the hallmark of military planning and execution by highly trained men who have engaged in armed combat in the past, prior to diversifying into the realm of major violent crime.

Armchair police inspectors who decry the absence of a police response during the robberies fail to recognize that a shootout between the bank robbers and law enforcement would have resulted in far more innocent lives being lost in the crossfire. Robbers generally hold the upper hand in shootouts that occur in residential areas because they have no qualms about opening fire in ANY direction, while the police are under orders to avoid shooting into occupied buildings.

It is, therefore, no surprise that the police and army were left with no option but to take cover and observe the operation in progress, so as to later follow up with methodical investigations that will very likely result in the arrest of at least some of the numerous gang members who partook in the robbery. Given the large number of men who raided those banks, it is only a matter of time before informants expose the ring leaders who will then be rounded up.

Fair point. Good point, in fact. But in a functioning system, a helicopter or two would have taken to the skies for a crime of this magnitude. At least, checkpoints, ambushes, and pursuits would have ensued. It's over 12 hours now. Nothing.

Hammyaladin:
compared to the armed men, soldiers were few. And[b] that is as a result of people not wanting them around[/b].

I pray for peace.

i wonder where you got bolded from. Nowhere in Edo State people are opposed to soldiers. And no single soldier has been attacked for being on the streets. Recently, when soldiers shot some kidnappers on a highway in Edo State, people hailed it and called for more deployments. Even in parts of the SE where people have spoken against having soldiers on the streets, they have not actively opposed them.

I agree the soldiers were outnumbered. Besides, exchanging gunfire with robbers in a crowded urban street would have been foolish.
