What was she doing in Ukraine after the war broke out? I know many Nigerians who were caught up in the war but relocated to the UK and continued exactly where they stopped in Ukraine. PS: I didn't bother to watch the video. 9 Likes |

SmartPolician:They actually didn't realize this was going to be war, they'd come close to it multiple times before that. I remember someone from Nigeria living there, posting on Nairaland seeking advise on whether to leave or stay 2 Likes 1 Share |

SmartPolician:No wonder na... Because she said they refused to carry blacks at first. But when did agree to move them out, she left immediately to Hungary. 4 Likes |

givedemwotowoto:She still looks so beautiful… Yet, a Ukrainian refugee seems to live with more dignity than we do freely in Nigeria. It feels like we are the ones trapped in a refugee camp. Our politicians have completely ruined us—I swear.” 8 Likes 1 Share |

SmartPolician:Easy to ask but you've failed to realised all fingers aren't equal. If she was living on the edge financially pre-war how'd she made those bold moves highlighted by you ? Some people here and overseas are running "daily economy" |

That is how Russia turned Ukraine upside down and Putin still have the guts to be advising Israel on how to handle Iran and their proxy terrorists organizations; Hampshire, Hezbollah, Houthis, etc |

esau0007:Lolz. Our politicians and in fact, "we ourselves" have "refugised" ourselves. When we are ready to get "derefugised", we know what to do. Until then, we will get more refugised by the politicians who take us for granted because we are not ready,and are not serious. 1 Like |

My ex shared similar story. Cos she traveled to Russia to study, from there she moved to Ukraine and then d war started... She didn't return home. Went to Polish border, wasn't allowed in cos of her skin color... Even Ukrainians won't allow them into the rescue bus that took em to Poland... She n others literally walked. Was Hungary that allowed them in... Later moved to Netherlands. Now she's in Germany... |

givedemwotowoto:^^^ For all the tools on this platform, stridently supporting either side in this senseless Russo - European war - I hope you are taking notes. I have no doubt in my mind this story is true because when this war started four years ago, several Nigerian (and black African students) had similar stories to tell. Stories of the unbelivably casual racism they had to endure at the hands of the so called victims of Russian aggression. For those reprobates ceaselessly flooding this platform with Ukrainian and Russian propaganda - note that the average Russian or Ukrainian wouldn't pee on you if your entire body was on fire. Stay out of their mess. You have no dog in this fight! Same thing goes for those who unthinkingly support the Palestinian cause without asking the hard questions. If you are African and you haven't asked why Joshua Mollel was murdered, you need to have your head examined. And for the useful idiots who automatically support American and Israeli aggression - the same question applies to you too. Do not sink yourself in the mire of the Middle East. You have no dog in their fight! If you unthinkingly support a nation (the USA) that made slavery of the Negro an article of nationhood...or you unthinkingly support a nation (Israel) whose Talmud denigrates the children of Kush...you are a waste of time and space. Black man, know yourself. |
