Looks like WriterNG is finally being censored by the mods here. Post a news story, that is fine. But spare us from the brain-dead bilge in posts after the post. Good to see it was deleted.
Nairaland is the only place where it allows posters to celebrate tragedies and at the same time post misleading information about a war in Russia he knows nothing about.
The question is why does Nairaland keep enabling his lies and manipulation by pushing every post you the front page? The answer is not a very hard one to figure out.
How are advertisers supposed to be attracted here?
American citizens themselves are allowed to critize and ridicule their country... But it's you a random buffoon that wants to act as a policeman on their behalf? GTFOH! 🤡
The Putin brown nosing shill reacts. Yes you can post whatever you want, the trouble is when others are forced on your lunatic ramblings.
I miss the days of explorers. He would post this article with no agenda and it would be seen as a heart warming story of neighbours helping out those in need
Yet what we get now is this lickspittling lunatic having every post pushed to the fp. I sometimes wonder if it is an alt account of Seun. It is bringing Nairaland into total disrepute. A national embarrassment.
Empiree: Kick that amnesty international out of your country. Let them go and probe Benjamin Satanyahu first. They keep mute on Gaza genocide for 15 months.
Don't believe everything you see online, especially regarding war.
Why is Seoul so keen on providing updates on a war they're not directly involved in?
Then seek out the truth. There are tens if not hundreds of videos confirming them as North Koreans, including from pro-Russian telegram channels. One only has to look.
Iweakbro: They so badly want to send their troops to Ukraine's aid.
Sincerely, Ukrainian men are the real MVPs, how come their spirits are not broken? Then didn't surrender like Afghan or Syrian soldiers.
Afghans and Syrians are a collection of tribes and religious sects whereas Ukraine has a strong national identity. They are fighting for the survival of their homeland.🇺🇦
Tributes have been paid to a nine-year-old boy who was killed in an attack on a German Christmas market.
André Gleissner died after a car drove into a crowd of shoppers at the market in Magdeburg on Friday evening, a local fire department said.
A social media post, reportedly attributed to André's mother, called him "my little teddy bear" and said he would "always live in our hearts".
Four women, aged 45, 52, 67 and 75, also died in the attack. Authorities are holding a suspect in pre-trial detention on counts of murder, attempted murder and dangerous bodily harm.
Another tribute came from a fire department in nearby Schöppenstedt.
In a statement it said André was a member of the children's fire brigade in Warle, which is about an hour's drive from Magdeburg.
The children's fire brigade is a youth organisation open to kids aged six to 12 with an interest in firefighting.
"Our thoughts are with André's relatives, who we also want to support during this difficult time," the statement said.
The Lower Saxony youth fire brigade also paid tribute to the nine-year-old.
"Our condolences go out to his family, his friends and everyone who was close to him," it said in a statement.
"We stand by their side in these difficult times and express our deepest sympathy," it added.
An online fundraiser reportedly set up to raise money for André's family has received more than €60,000 (£49,900) in donations so far.
The attack on Friday left at least 200 people injured, with some left in a critical condition.
The four women who were also killed have not yet been identified.
The car ploughed into the crowded market via an emergency vehicle access lane about 19:00 local time (18:00 GMT) on Friday, police said.
Eyewitnesses described jumping out of the car's path, fleeing or hiding. Unverified social media footage showed the vehicle speeding through a pedestrian walkway between stalls.
Police said the driver then returned to the road and was forced to stop in traffic, where he was arrested.
Around 100 police, medics and firefighters attended the scene, according to city officials.
A 50-year-old man has been remanded in custody on suspicion of five counts of murder, multiple attempted murders and dangerous bodily harm, police said.
The suspect has been identified in local media as Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, a Saudi-born psychiatrist who arrived in Germany in 2006.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear but authorities say they believe the driver acted alone.
German authorities are facing questions about security after reports they were warned last year that the suspect could pose a threat.
The Saudi foreign ministry said it warned the German government about al-Abdulmohsen's extremist views, but received no response.
An EU nation has made it mandatory for schoolchildren to take part in firearms training.
Poland has taken the dramatic step in response to fears of a potential attack from Russia.
Children aged 13 and above are now taking lessons on how to assemble and operate weapons including assault rifles.
The lessons take place under adult supervision, and the weapons use laser-based systems instead of live ammunition.
The initiative reflects Poland’s concern about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine – with whom it shares a 329mile (529km) border.
Ewa Golinska is principal of Nicolaus Copernicus primary school in Skarszewy, a small town in the north of the country.
She said: ‘It is a compulsory subject in Polish schools, and the lesson content consists only of assembling and operating weapons.
‘With the state of the world today, I think this type of training is very valuable.’
German public broadcaster DW interviewed a number of pupils now taking shooting lessons alongside maths and history.
Emalia Labudzka said ‘it feels good to hit the target’, while Alan Jaron simply commented with a smile: ‘Shooting is fun. Holding a gun in your hands and shooting feels really cool.’
Marta Stolinska added: ‘I think it’s a good idea. Life is scary these days, so you have to be prepared for anything.’
There are 18,000 schools across Poland, and all of them are in the process of receiving the laser-based training technology.
While schools had offered firearms lessons previously, they were optional until three months ago – but overall, many parents are happy for their children to learn how to use and assemble firearms.
One mum, Monika Stolinska, said: ‘We are very proud that our children want to be on the right side of history, to defend our country and to be patriotic.’
Alina Labudzka, mum to a 14-year-old girl, added: ‘I feel she is capable of making her own decisions about her future, and knows what she wants to do in life.’
Poland is already a fairly gun-friendly country, allowing modern firearms ownership under police-issued permits for people who provide a reason to own the gun, such as hunting, sport shooting, training, and collecting.
Civilians can also apply for self-defence permits, but these are awarded at the discretion of the police force.
Arms dealer Krzysztof Gasior, based in Gdansk, described Poland’s firearm laws as ‘probably the most liberal in Europe’ – saying in some ways it’s easier to get a gun licence than a driving licence.
WrriterNg: The rebels have issued a statement that Russian troops presence in Syria is welcomed and they're free to remain in their bases. Russia say they'll work with the rebels.
Putin in December 2017 in Syria:
"If the terrorists raise their heads again, we will deal them blows they have never seen before."
Welcomed? Don't be so delusional. The same rebels whose leader you just lambasted at the start of the thread.
RemoveKebab: Why OP used pictures of F16 for outdated alpha jet
Dem use alpha jet swear for 9ja?
This!
Nairaland is the home of false information. No checks and balances. F16s are what Ukraine was given to flight Russia. The difference between them alpha jets (1970s design) is like night and day.
@OP, Don't worry Trump is here to bleep you and zelensky.
Zelensky will be thrown under a tank, the handwriting is clear...
Do you even read the article before regurgitating?
"State news agency Tass reported that the men had been convicted for murder "motivated by political, ideological, racial, national or religious hatred".
WrriterNg: UEFA clowns have no right to warn anyone after banning Russia from participating but allowing genocidal Israel even after killing over 200,000 children.
Also being paid to comment on other posts using one of your alt accounts? I wonder how many cents per post.
WriterNig: [color=pink]The 🤡 Russian military on Tuesday launched massive naval and air drills spanning across both hemispheres and including China in joint maneuvers.[/color]
The “Ocean-24” exercise spans the Pacific and Arctic Oceans, the Mediterranean, Caspian and Baltic Seas and involves over 400 warships, submarines and support vessels, more than 120 planes and helicopters and over 90,000 troops, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement. The maneuvers will continue through Sept. 16, the ministry said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in comments to military officials that the war games are the largest of their kind in three decades, and that China's warships and planes were taking part. China confirmed that on Monday, saying the two countries' navies would cruise together in Pacific, but gave no details.
A total of 15 countries have been invited to observe the drills, Putin said, without naming them.
“We pay special attention to strengthening military cooperation with friendly states. Today, in the context of growing geopolitical tensions in the world, this is especially important,” Putin said.
The Russian leader accused the United States & NATO of “trying to maintain its global military and political dominance at any cost," seeking “to inflict a strategic defeat” on Russia in its war with Ukraine and to “break the established security architecture and balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region.”
1Alex: There was a referendum before Russia annexed Crimea. Crimea people voted massively in favour of joining Russia.
Just like there were 'referendums' in Donetsk and Luhansk. The most classic ploy to give dictators a pretext to invade their neighbours. Most sane-minded people see it for what it is.
