A U.S. Marine of Nigerian descent died after falling overboard from the USS Iwo Jima in the Caribbean Sea, the Marine Corps announced Thursday, the first known U.S. death in "Operation Southern Spear."

You can't compare his situation with that of those who died in Russia, This is pure loyalty and no compelling, Russia is done via deception and forced. America don't force people to join it's army. America will give you everything, and in return you give loyalty. God bless America

Shut up.. America doesnt lure anyone to join their army.. it is regarded as a privilege.. i remember applying to join the ARMY OF ONE back then but couldnt make the cut because i was still living in Nigeria and wasnt resident of any of the recruitment zones.. Respect the USA or u can go join your brothers in sambisa forest..


Bird brain.

Ask your Nigerian friends in the US Army if they joined for "privilege"

The US lures illegal immigrants into joining the Army by offering them certain benefits like housing, money and citizenship. Same as Russia but you've been programmed from birth to defend anything about America.

I'll give you 1 million naira right now if you give me proof that the Russian Embassy or any Russian government agency are the ones luring people.

Indians running fake job agencies are the ones luring unintelligent people like you to come to Russia then trick them into joining.

Just like your travel agents have been doing since forever.

Quite weird how a soldier will "fall off" from a ship sha. Were they under attack? Sea storm? Or was he... You know... Pushed?
You know... This is the 2nd one that has happened. One happened last year also and no feed back till date, just the normal - "the circumstances is under investigation".
Why do Nigerian-American marines keep falling overboard? And there's always no reason given whatsoever.

Seeing as you love Russia so devotedly, why aren't you over there as part of a meat assault brigade?

The pay is rumored to be quite good

You have criteria to be met before you qualify joining the USA army, not every dick and Harry joins.
Russia imported Kenya's, Nigerians, Congolese, North Koreans and other poverty stricken nation to fight for them, without basic military training, some of them don't even know how to shoot a riffle, they just give them uniform and send them to the battle field. The American military will train you and send you to the highest military facilities before you become a soldier.
Been a marine involves a lot and you already know what it is, Russia pay less than 1500 dollars to those guys sacrificing their lives, ask what is the basic salary of a soldier in America

Brethren, you see how all western media houses failed to call him a Nigerian.

If it happened in Russia, they'll say "Nigerian man dies fighting for Putin". He was probably lured with money to come join the Army.

American propaganda is so strong that they can turn you against your own mother.

They are unmatched in propaganda. It'll take Russia 500 years to get to the US level of propaganda.

Western propaganda has become part of our every day lives, from the cartoons we watched as kids, to music to movies to literally everything.

APC propaganda is unmatched compared to US and Russia

The British Army pays less than £1500.

The US imports from all parts of the world, even from the poorest of the poor. Even illegal immigrants who were smuggled into the US.

The US army is 80% made up of foreigners from other countries.

I dare to to count all the Africans you've seen or heard fighting for Russia. If they are more than 1000 soldiers, i owe you 1 million naira.

Meanwhile there are at least 200,000 Africans in the US Army.

The US army threw 10,000 Africans in its war in Iraq. Africa from poverty stricken nations like Congo and Uganda.

A war that has nothing to do with Africa.

There are more Nigerians fighting in the U.S Army alone than there are Africans combined in Russia.
Which country would you fight for between Russia and USA.?
You are comparing a developed and humanitarian country to a monopolistic and racial country.

He's probably an American citizen with dual nationality. Many Nigerians and other Africans are in the US military because they have secured the US citizenship.
But you see Russia, they lure Africans to join their military with the hope that they will be granted citizenship. Many were deceived like that and ended up being cannon fodders for the Ukrainian drones.

Some times I question your level of education, because you're below expectations in your political judgment. Please go back to the classroom for proper grooming.

I've discovered that you Nigerians only love countries that allow you to enter their country as much as you like.

While those that don't, you call them oppressive. This is why you hate South Africans. You go to their countries and constitute nuisance.

How about you stay in your own country and develop it?

How many Russian do you see living in Nigeria?

Getting America Visa is iike gateway to heaven, not to talk of joining it's military.
The two can't be compare, it is dignity to serve in the American army, the badge command respect that can't be said of Russia, keep propagating Russia but don't lie when doing so, The marine that fell off will be honoured for life, his family will be taken care off and so on and so on, the Nigerians that joined the Russian army, the family didn't even know about them

You don't understand America as a country . Go to New Jersey, and see the population. There is no country in the world that has accepted migrants as US. Forget all the nonsense Trump is doing now, most of it would be reversed.

why then are the Russian embassy complicit in recruiting them without going through the proper channel? The order came from Putin
Embassy of Russia has nothing to do with the recuritment of Africans. Usually it's recuritment 'agencies' that recruit Africans and other nationalities with the promise of security jobs...only to find out that they are being sent to the front.

I also think both Russia and Ukraine do actively recruit fighters for their foreign legions..and some do go there with the full idea that they would be fighting at the front.

But the embassy has nothing to do with it.

He probably was an American citizen. Not a Nigerian

(Though the Marines do try to recurit from legal foreign residents of the US. A relative of mine studying in the US was once approached by a Marine recruiter. When he informed the guy that he wasn't an American citizen, the chap said NO PROBLEM. Anyway my relative didn't take the offer...this was around the Iraq war part 2 period.).

1.You know you are not an American. right?

2.While people can be pushed off, yes people do fall overboard in ships. At least one fataility due to falling overborard happens in US ships. Winds and current and pitching of the ship as well as carelessness are contributory factors.
