They didn't come to Africa to recruit us by forxe into their army. Let's stop heaping blame on people who simply said "okay" when we chose their wars to legitimately stay in their country.

Why dem norva con carry me go join their army.
leave that mumu

He isn't Nigerian... A USA citizen of Nigerian descent

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.

Which is why you must question everything that comes from their media. Or you might find yourself unable to think for yourself.

Actually large swathes of russia are very rural and messed up, and don't have much in the way of facilites. And corruption is a thing there..it's not for nothing they call Russia 'Nigeria with snow'


The US is a shit h0le country. Should i show your Kamala Harris hometown? A whole Vice President. Should I show you American villages? They are competing with the dirtiest slums in Africa.

Large swathes of America are disease ridden, poverty stricken, dirty, stinking, drug infested with dilapidated infrastructures.

Is there any country more corrupt than America? Imagine comparing America that has no metro systems to Russia that has the best urbanized cities in Europe. Far better than anything America has.

Did you know that the Baltimore bridge that collapsed last 2 years is America is yet to be constructed? Even the debris haven't been cleared yet.

America is just another Afghanistan with snow.

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.

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."


Punch News || CBS News
Damn! Aregbesola was the FIRST EVER Nigerian-American this would happen to when he allegedly fell off his Military ship into the sea in rough weather.

This is the 2nd time such an event of a Nigerian-born American Military officer falling into the sea would take place.

Though this is one of the harzards of the profession, BUT these two situations should be investigated to exclude sabotage.

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.
1. Whether I'm American or not, every soldier deserves Respect. In live and in death.

2. You saw where i asked if it was as a result of attack? Storm? Why dwell on just the push question.

Lured by who?

By the Russian government? Or a fake job ad by a random nobody?

Good riddance.

Joining a state military should involve serious thought; you may end up fighting people you shouldn’t and taking part in actions that harm civilians or break basic human rights.

Choosing to serve in an occupying force like the USA is still a choice, especially when that force has helped create suffering in many parts of the world.

He is dead now, facing his accountability for a choice he has made.

Lmao. A group that are known to kvll civilians, rvpe children and women, torture people.

Tell that to the Venezuelans and the Cuban and many other countries who have suffered from the actions of the US soldiers.

If you think it is worth it, I pray God hold atpu accountable in this life eor the next.

The military says the multi-branch search included;

Five U.S. Navy ships,
a rigid-hull inflatable boat, and 10 aircraft from the Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force.


The infrastructure deployed to search him

Oga I asked you a question.

Can you not read?

I asked you, who lured them to Russia?

Because I have never seen any of these so called Africans fighting in Russia mention that the Russian government or Russian embassy or any Russian official were the ones who recruited them.

It's always one random job agency that no one has ever heard of.

Fun fact: America send more than 20,000 Africans to the meat grinder in Iraq.

20,000 Africans died fighting for America in another man's land.

There are more Nigerians fighting in the U.S Army alone than there are Africans combined in Russia.

America is the one living in old glory gan gan.

All those nice things you see in America were built in the 60's, 70's and 80's.

There haven't been a single new construction project in the US for years now.

But Russia? New factories and infrastructure springing up daily. Do your research.

As for poverty, the US has far more poorer people.

The US poverty rate is 17% while Russia is 6%.
