CodeTemplar: A responsible govt and not another that will kidnap you and hold you for weeks under inhuman conditions.
You have been deceived. They imprisoned more people for social post than anywhere in the world but they claimed champion of free speech.
The reason you are not aware Is coz they control the narrative (mainstream media) thus they choose who to vilify while hiding in plain sight.
The free media is changing and you will understand soon that they lack the morality they championed also are even worse than those u traditionally think are.
The 🇺🇸 US Army has had two Apache helicopter crashes within 48 hours, with the latest sending two soldiers to the hospital when their aircraft went down Wednesday evening near Fort Carson, Colo., the service confirmed Thursday.
The AH-64 Apache from the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division crashed around 6:30 p.m. during a routine training exercise. The two pilots suffered minor injuries and were taken to the on-base hospital before being released the same night, according to the Army.
A team from the Army Combat Readiness Center at Fort Novosel, Ala., will investigate the crash, with all aviation assets grounded at the base until further notice.
The incident is the second Apache crash in just 48 hours, with the same helicopter model going down Monday at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.
In that accident, the two pilots were injured when their aircraft assigned to 4th Squadron, 6th Air Cavalry Regiment, 16th Combat Aviation Brigade crashed during a routine training exercise around 9:30 p.m., base officials said.
That crash is also under investigation.
The accidents follow two other Apache mishaps in February: A Mississippi National Guard Apache helicopter crashed Feb. 23, killing the two pilots aboard, and a Utah National Guard Apache went down Feb. 12, with both pilots surviving.
Those incidents prompted the Army to ground all of its National Guard helicopter units for a safety review.
The US military has also struggled with rotary-wing aircraft accidents in the past several years, with the deadliest such crashes in November, when five soldiers were killed when their MH-60 Black Hawk helicopter was downed over the Mediterranean Sea. The same month, eight Marines died in when their V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft crashed near Japan.
And in March 2023, nine troops were killed when two Black Hawks collided near Fort Campbell, Ky.
Rigie: Please is here any logical explanation why Nations shouldn't be allowed to trade with their traditional currency at the ratio of trade volume. Or is there any ritual around the USD myth?

Yes with dollarized trade America is able to export it's inflation to the rest of the world while printing cash with no commodity backing to meet needs since surely the rest of the world will gladly buy the dollar for trade.
Nigercity: Meaning? What's your point exactly? Do Igbos in northern Nigeria Reside inside market? Don't the go back to there different homes outside the market, after every day sales?
The level of sentimental reasoning I see in Nigeria, is just so annoying! Gosh
successmatters: The lawsuit is useless, the state is protecting their people and of course they have every reason to do that.
The garrki cattle market in Lokpanta has became a den of thieves, kidnappers and serial killers. Right there in the market, people could be stopped on the express road and taken into that market and killed, (we saw stories from there on front page here on nairaland) many people have been killed there needlessly, and yet the police and army remain on guard in and around to market daily.
There are two checkpoints each, to and fro the market, one police and one army on both ends, yet crime is centralized there, an archbishop of the Anglican communion was kidnapped just meters away from this market, it was on front page here last year, he mentioned in an interview that he was kidnapped by herdsmen, and herdsmen sleep inside the same market, well protected.
You won't even know the one that is their home and the one that is a kidnappers holding cell or torture chambers. They should live outside the market like every other Nigerian from every state, that way every activities will be scrutinized.
Same can be applied to Igbo run markets in the north
Obrigardo: Mynd44 remember I pointed you towards Russian propaganda on this forum? This user is just one of those appendages.
You all need to consider putin has used every form of dissent and protests to his advantage to:
1. Cause discontent in NATO 2. Weaken NATO/US partnership 3. Grow animosity against the west using useful idiots from Africa according to AfdB.
If you are a salient observer and an objective consumer of Democratic norms and news, you should be able to spot this disinformation campaign miles away.
STOP RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA ON NAIRALAND. IT'S DESTROYING YOUR CREDIBILITY, THE LITTLE YOU HAVE LEFT.
If the poster is Putin Appendage and spreads propaganda then you are NATO appendage and warmonger.
The “marriage” between a four-year-old ‘bride’ and a 54-year-old man in a Bayelsa community is a traditional rite to save the child’s life, according to her parents.
They claimed that the marriage, conducted in Akeddei community in Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa, was a spiritual rite to ‘untie’ the duo who were betrothed in their “previous lives”.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) learnt that the girl’s parents, the 54-year-old man, a traditional ruler and others, who participated in the marriage, were summoned by Bayelsa Government following a public outcry.
Parents of the ‘bride’ and three others on Thursday appeared before the state government’s Gender Response Initiative Team (GRIT) to explain their roles in the child marriage. The government’s team comprised the Chairman of GRIT, Dr Dise Ogbise-Goddy, and the Bayelsa State Coordinator of the Child Protection Network, Kizito Andah.
Others are the Chairman of Bayelsa Non-Governmental Forum, Mr Taritei Boco, and representatives of the DO Foundation, National Human Rights Commission and Civil Society Groups.
The team heard submissions from the father of the toddler, Mr Morris Aboma, the “groom”, Mr Akpos Napoleon, and the Paramount ruler, Chief Moneyman Binabo.
In their separate submissions before the government team, they all insisted that the purported child marriage was a traditional practice termed “Koripamo” aimed to save the little girl’s life.

THE BEARING: Why You Need To Be More Than A First Class Graduate In Nigeria Ibadan: Inside the exciting I00-year-old Hausa community The government’s team comprised the Chairman of GRIT, Dr Dise Ogbise-Goddy, and the Bayelsa State Coordinator of the Child Protection Network, Kizito Andah.
Others are the Chairman of Bayelsa Non-Governmental Forum, Mr Taritei Boco, and representatives of the DO Foundation, National Human Rights Commission and Civil Society Groups.
The team heard submissions from the father of the toddler, Mr Morris Aboma, the “groom”, Mr Akpos Napoleon, and the Paramount ruler, Chief Moneyman Binabo.
In their separate submissions before the government team, they all insisted that the purported child marriage was a traditional practice termed “Koripamo” aimed to save the little girl’s life.
They explained that it was a cultural practice in Akeddei community, Oyakiri clan, that if a girl child always fell sick, a man would be required to drop a symbolic amount as a token to save the little girl from dying.
The community representatives said that what transpired between the little girl and Napoleon was not a marriage but an Ijaw cultural practice called ” Koripamo”.
They further explained that whenever the traditional rite of “Koripamo” was conducted, the man who paid the token was not required to take the girl as a wife.
“The traditional rite will also not stop the girl from marrying any man of her choice when she grows up to the age of marriage.”
According to the Ijaw tradition, this rite can be done on a boy child or girl child
Father of the child, Aboma, who spoke in Ijaw language, said his daughter was always sick to the point of death.
He said that according to Akeddei tradition, the only way to save her life is for a man to pay a symbolic price and save the child’s life and that it had nothing to do with a real marriage.
According to the “groom”, the outcry that trailed the rite is regrettable as all he did was just to save the child’s life as she is no longer sick again.
Islam was sent because the real bible and religion of Prophet isa Blessings of Allah be with him (Jesus) has been corrupted over time just like we are seeing today.
Lot of people don't understand why the west are fighting Islam with propaganda and violence because they have already succeeded in corrupting Christianity but Islam is the only religion standing in their way before ushering Satanism.
Racoon: See the kind of humanity Lord Lugard yoked sane people to be sharing nationality and a country with? Unbridled ethno-religio-regional supremacist agenda. Before you know now, those states will be engulfed in sectarian crisis. FG should be take proactive measures now.
They deceived gullible Christains that the Muslim Muslim combination was based on competence but where that competency have landed Nigeria today is clear for all to see.
However, competent Christians governors winning elections in the middle belt or North Central Nigerian are Karfirs who suddenly now are threat to Islam? Guess everyone can see the bloody hypocrisy of these manipulators? It can only be right in their own eyes. Tufiakwa!
If u accept OBI call 2023 election a religious war then I think the Muslims have ever right to think the same
Odingo1: Why is almost all Muslims countries are fighting
Why is it that all terrorist are Muslims eg Al-quada, Boko Haram, Islamic State( ISIS), Hezbola, Mujahadeen, Islamic cult, supporter of APC, Taliban etc
Why are Muslims killing people when they insult prophet Muhammad.
Pls look at who are responsible for the crisis in Muslim countries, pre September 911 majority of Muslim countries where peaceful. Christian west are responsible for the crisis do ur research
“FBI-Orchestrated Conspiracy”: Judge Orders Release of 3 of Newburgh 4 Tied to Fake NY Bomb Plot
For the past 14 years, relatives of four men jailed on terrorism charges in Newburgh, New York, have accused the FBI of entrapment. On Thursday, a federal judge agreed and ordered the release of three of the men known as the Newburgh Four: David Williams, Onta Williams and Laguerre Payen. The men had been sentenced in 2010 to 25 years in prison for a government-orchestrated bombing plot of a New York synagogue. In a stunning decision, the judge accused the FBI of inventing a conspiracy. With the men set to be released within 90 days, we speak with lawyers Kathy Manley and Stephen F. Downs from the Coalition for Civil Freedoms about the monumental ruling, the legal issues with entrapment and what the ruling means for the many cases like this one. “This was the government’s standard operating procedure right after 9/11,” says Downs. “They were out there going to create as many terrorists as they could to show the public that they were on the job.” The fourth man convicted, James Cromitie, is expected to seek compassionate release.
