Nigerian Volunteer Fighters Required To Pay $1,000 For A Visa And Ticket

When scores of Nigerian men converged on the Ukrainian Embassy in Abuja to declare their willingness to join the Ukrainian side in the war against Russia, they learned they would need $1,000.

Some 115 young men pledged to join Ukraine in its struggle against Russia, at a time when Nigerians in Ukraine are trying to return home. The men who besieged the Ukraine Embassy in Nigeria’s capital in early March put down their names in a register provided by the embassy.

I pray she is found quickly.

But if na me find her first, eeh

Check the mirror

Naijanascam:
You will soon hide yourself like this because of shame

It is really sad that some people will never give up.

Even those of us that do not like Tinubu accept that he won free and fair after losing his home State and adopted State.

Give up and give the devil his due. The criticism of every move Tinubu makes is nauseating.

You got that right!

Ibadan, the only CIVILIZED place you live and work without thinking you are going to get fired before the end of the day because of your race, ethnic group, tribe or the shade of your skin.

marlow1962:
Yes, Ibadan is more beautiful and developed more than Boston Massachusetts

If you want PICTURES:

https://www.nairaland.com/4116083/beautiful-pictures-ibadan-city

Like I stated before, this is not about building or edifice you can find in any city.

Pictures do not display the Economic, Social, Educational or Cultural systems that made this Ancient City the capital of civilization where everyone from all over the world feel comfortable and secured than any place in Africa.

You are Welcomed as long as you know your place and respect culture.

Do you want to know how many heads of States received treatment at their teaching hospitals, how many professors from Africa and beyond stayed put and refused to leave, how many big and small businesses stayed put etc.

Look all cities look the same in pictures these days. This is a fact, not a project for me.

Do you realize Ibadan is bigger than some states in Nigeria?

When comparing a case like this, think about institution, culture and system making up the City. Economic, Social, Educational, Hospitals from health clinics to Teaching hospitals and then safety and security. A big civilized city is not just made up buildings.

Take Oke Ado which I completely forgot for example. This is where many of the old money are located including Liberty Stadium, old secondary schools like Ibadan Grammar School, St. Ann, St. Theresa and many others.

Ibadan, the producer of old clean money and movers of Africa.

I have not been to Ibadan for ages and I am not from there!

researcherdotcom:
Op pls send picture.
I am not saying this to disagree with you. I lived in ibadan for not less than 15 years. I am yearning to see those development in pictures.
Ibadan: Home of wisdom

Abuja cannot compete with Oke Ado.

Ibadan remains the most beautiful city of all times. Many people only see the different part of an elephant.

The vast land mass of Ibadan, an ancient city, do not allow strangers to realize that the most beautiful cities in Africa can fit snugly into Ibadan.

Put Abuja inside Ibadan, it cannot compete with Bodija.

Put Lagos inside Ibadan, it cannot compete with Agodi.

Put Cairo inside Ibadan it cannot compete with Bodija.

I do not even know about the late developments in Ibadan. But it is better to keep those developments out of reach, otherwise the next chorus would be Go Ibadan Young Men Go Ibadan. Not Go West Young Men Go West.

But distractors are only interested in the slum areas as if New York City does not have slums. But Nigeria would never send those pictures home.

If Ibadan is divided into cities, no city in the world could compete.

You don mari naow

BloomingDale:
I want to marry an Akwa Ibom virgin man.

Ignoramus calm down jor.

Ask those older than you how long you have been slaving for Fulani even when you had the opportunity to be Executive Prime Minister.

You siddon for back seat in the slave quarter and hand it over to Tafawa Balewa. You wan hia Tory

taylor89:
Which one be “ the two officers who beat Isah to death were quietly dismissed”


Dismissed to which street? To which neighborhood to kill more people?

You see North and their slave subjects (I no call any region name but if you know say your region na Hausa slave na you I dey talk to) they’re the problem and the major setbacks we have in this country

Make una divide this country una go gree dey beg for unity by fire by force

It shall never be well with the children of the corn

What a shame. Proud hardworking people brainwashed into terrorism by power hungry political thugs.

Reduced them to Boko Haram while their own children are schooling abroad like the rest of Nigeria's political class.

Pity.

Election has come decided and gone but not within a group that voted 95% for themselves and nobody else.

We see vestiges of what brought the first Military Coup. None of the people killed came from them.

Preferred Abacha to Abiola that was duly elected.

Prefer Obasanjo, Northern choice to Falaye, West's choice.

Nna, what do you guys have against those from the West?

Obiedun:
Akwaba(Welcome)

Can't wait for Bini meaning

Unfortunately, you can be in love with your husband and the gateman at the same time, two sisters at the same time, two friends at the same time.

On the kong run, one turns into infatuation while the other man or woman leaves you.

The question is when does love turns into infactuation or when does infactuation turna to love.

Time!

Is this a blind spot or just ignorance as usual.

Do you know this difference between Igbo killing Igbo and Fulani killing others?

Yoruba killing Yoruba and Hausa killing Yoruba.

Beromi killing Beromi and Kanuri killing Beromi.

We spoke up when Boko Haram went from killing Christians to killing their own.

Some people are just too incorrigible to reason with. We all cry out and even cooperate to fight outside invaders into our communities.

This is Igbo killing Igbo daily as political deterrence to hold unto monolithic political views. So that 95% can become political clan. Where else in or outside Nigeria is that enforceable without reducing your population to the minimum?

Baroda, stop killing your own people. Use your people to fight invaders. This is why Danjuma told people in the Northcentral to defend themselves.

Your only problem here is that outsiders must not tell us to stop killing yourselves. If insiders are too scared to tell you because of jungle justice, others must.

There are killings all over Nigeria for one reason or another.

But political and vicious killings of Igbo by Igbo as deterrent must be looked into by Igbo Elders and Ohanaeze. People are afraid to go home, even on vacation.

This was how Boko Haram started, attacking Churches first before graduating to killing Fulani and Hausa as deterrents.

African lives means very little to Africans but we expect others to respect African lives outside.

OneCandleAway:
Your last paragraph doesn't apply to African politicians. Only death can put an end to the greed of an African politician.

There are many Africans, apart from politicians as you rightly pointed out, that are trying all they can but not loud for fear of overwhelming them.

One is Sir Mohammed Fathi Ahmed Ibrahim KCMG a Sudanese-British billionaire businessman.

Wait O!

So Gbadebo Chinedu don ress speaker for Abia fas fas

As far as you know the first military coup d'etat against Democracy was in 2022!

Funflipper:
Which first blow against democracy? Where you born in 2022?

Are you one of the Unity beggars

yarimo:
what do you mean by US ? speak for yourself next time

Whatever Nigerians remit home, politicians, businessmen and their cronies use trucks to carry Naira in exchange.

Those crying they cannot wait to papa think everyone has enough to live on or send money home.

When you get abroad (in Sudan), be begging the country you call all kinds of names to come and rescue you

After the founding fathers and their colleagues, point to one of the leaders that have done anything to prevent his people from going to abject poverty.

Every time Nigeria gets into trouble, one can easily guess the source of over ambitious obsession for Power by any means with impunity.

Most of us have given up on Nigeria.

So, who was he going to have a meeting with at 10 Downing, Jesus Christ?

These people will turn anything in their favor.

Maybe he meant a meeting at the White House!

Jonathan, a Biafran with powerful Igbo Cabinet did not achieve anything.

Ironsi with all powerful Igbo cronies plunged us into Unitary Federal Government. Achieved nothing.

Zik preference for Ceremonial President got Igbo powerful Cabinet from Balewa was not enough.

What else could Nidi-Igbo do that they have never done?

They just want POWER by Tulasi with nothing to show for it as usual.

Your cry taya me, no be small.

Another werey!

Who cursed Nigerian voters?

Everyone in Nigeria knows each of the three Presidential candidates is a looter and money launderer.

Yet when caught red handed, we defend them senselessly. Even those in high places or in foreign countries shameless do. Indicating they did the same when serving in Nigeria or if they get the opportunity to loot, they will launder money.

We then wonder and cry that the masses live in abject poverty capital of the world.

There are certain illegal activities a Presidential candidate should not be involved in personally.

Money laundering because you do not trust anyone and drug mules must not be associated with even leaders of a banana republic.

Some ladies may have been forgotten but their families still remember and grief.

Gloria Okon

Chinenye Ezewuzia

And many unknown victims like Dele Giwa that had information on Gloria.

I hope your wish and prayers are granted.

Dr. Godwin Maduka created a whole town with the tallest building in Anambra.

Unfortunately, it is a waste land like many of your big mansions back home
