Serious allegations of deception, human trafficking and forced military recruitment have emerged as several African nationals claimed they were tricked into fighting for Russia in its ongoing war with Ukraine.
Victims from Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya and other countries say they were promised well-paid civilian jobs in Russia but were instead detained, trained as soldiers and deployed to the frontline against their will.


One of the alleged victims, 36-year-old Nigerian mechanic Bankole Manchi, recounted his ordeal in a widely circulated video. Manchi said he left Lagos after being offered what appeared to be a legitimate overseas job that promised him about N500,000 per month.
He said a middleman handled his travel arrangements and provided documents that required minimal personal information. Believing the process to be genuine, he travelled through Addis Ababa to Moscow, with his family fully aware of his trip.
However, upon arrival in Russia, Manchi said he was handed over to unidentified men who assured him everything was fine. Instead of taking him to a workplace, they transported him to a military-style camp where he met other recruits from Nigeria, Ghana, France, Brazil and China.


According to him, many recruits struggled to communicate due to language barriers and depended on translation apps. He claimed they were told there was “no way out” once inside the facility.
Manchi described how training began with basic drills before progressing to weapon handling, grenade practice and night operations. He said several recruits were injured during training but were still forced to continue.

2 Esdras 15:21 Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense in their bosom. Thus saith the Lord God;
22My right hand shall not spare the sinners, and my sword shall not cease over them that shed innocent blood upon the earth.

Russia sef, how long will it take them to win a small Ukraine!...

Nigerians who come to this forum to praise Russia and China just to spite the US are the dumbest among us.

If those Nlders knew how those countries treat their own citizens, you'd understand that they are hiding their disdain for blacks because they are aiming an evil target.

If there's an official link to fight for Russia and be paid 500k, Nigerians will rush it.

Bankole Manchi, after voting the dru**gie against all sound warning, you now want to run away from the mess you created?
Nice one Russia.

Why don't they make such links legitimate...

Train and equip them properly and allow them battle ?


A lot of people would readily accept to fight as mercenaries for Russia.


Or is it that some people know what they are going to do they and try to run away when they get there after signing documents?🤷


This kind of news isn't good for Russia s reputation as a country.


Putin should take note and do something about it. It's getting too much and Africans are now scared of going to Russia even with assured legal routes and approved channels!

You speak without wisdom. Shall we, because of political or tribal loyalties, glorify the slaughter of our own brethren — the same kinsmen who were led into captivity through ignorance and manipulation? No one is compelled to speak on matters they do not understand, and the hatred born of tribe and politics must end. We are all responsible for a system that enriches a few while the nation sinks into confusion. Yet there is still hope, if we choose to build one another up instead of tearing each other down.

You just went off on a preaching trip to make yourself feel good.
What I said is simply that one must be responsible for his action or inaction. We can't continue to excuse the intentional terrible choices of people yet we expect the country to work.

My response came from how your words sounded to me — as if you were trying to justify the kidnapping and killing of our brothers under any circumstances. The political and tribal tone I felt in your explanation triggered my reaction. It wasn’t about making myself feel good; it was about speaking against what felt like a deep injustice. Please don’t take offense.”
