Lost my Vietnam Vet father a month ago, lost my brother yesterday. Thanks for the content, it helps pass the hard times. My father enjoyed your energy and stories.
Best wishes to you and yours John.
A fellow GWoT Vet.
People sure can suck, bigtime!
What a nightmare we live in!
You have to give it to these riders what bad A's to rally together to save their friend. My heart goes out to those who lost their lives but for those who did this will get what they deserve either in this life or the next.
So what I’m seeing is we don’t need the police 9/10 they are corrupt or just plain don’t wanna do their damn job. The power just went straight to their heads. It’s like the really bad people and the police go hand in hand. We can’t do anything or will be killed or threatened. Love seeing people say we have a voice no you don’t your voice either gets cut or buried underground
Good story telling but this is clearly fake
I remember watching a video on the Nigeria's hospital issues where an American woman was pregnant and due to lack of facilities , they just cut open her stomach with a blade , literally ! The woman survived . Her side story was her ex-fiancé had died and she didnt have enough money for the American life , hence she decided to open a bar with a Nigerian friend who was going back to Nigeria. They gathered enough money and actually started the bar , which became successful .She started dating a local man and got pregnant . That is when , people became jealous and started creating ruckus at her bar . One day she saw blood on her front door and a ritual performed of some type as a headless chicken was present inside her garden . Things changed an paranormal activities started inside her house , with some sort of animal like being present which was seen by her house maid and her husband ! Her house maid never came back to work again , but met her outside some days later to say that probably some ritual has been performed by a local ! Then her husband went ahead and called a local witch who used to perform such a ritual to cut of the situation they were in , and surprisingly everything became calm after it . Unfortunately they saw another ritual performed on their bar after 2 months.. Crazy ! She left the country and have now settled in Thailand .
God Bless all the innocent people on this earth from human slavery and organ harvesting. This is such a gross disgusting example of the evil on our world… Perpetrated by other human beings. So much evil.
Welp, I'm never going to Nigeria.
Seems to me the authorities were complicit in this endeavor! The lady said "policemen took her", then the police demolished the warehouse before ANY form of investigations were performed. (To hide any evidence of their involvement.)
It never ceases to amaze me how cruel and heartless people can be to one another. If we spent 1/3 of the money that we use on weapons of war, on helping people in need, or invested it in making poverty stricken areas profitable, the world would be a much better place.
I wish I had friends like that. Have my back until the very end..
So many of these stories include the phrase, "And the police just kind of blew them off."
Sadly there’s only a few that are innocent in Nigeria. Many Okadas (now mostly banned) were just as bad. Wouldn’t put it past them to have their own “death factories” all over. All Nigerians are “raised by wolves” if you understand that. Each one ready to take advantage of any situation, it’s the culture. There’s no police, military, government, business, or religion free from corruption. West Africa is crumbling.
I have spent some of my time trying to help against insecurity in Nigeria but I have become discouraged.
This happened in 2014, and it’s still carrying on in 2022, imagine how unsafe nigeria is now?
The police never wanted too do anything, and after the older woman said two men from the black van looked like police and told her she was under arrest. I believe they were police and the police was involved in it all.
How tf is this not more well known?? The Wikipedia article is a few paragraphs!
And that black lady said on bbc that white people was the most violent race on earth! This is just barbaric
🫢🫢🫢
Those people were probably just moved to another remote warehouse. To face the same fate. So sad. The cops were definitely involved even paid I believe. How horrific.
how in the hell does anyone become this evil, oh wait, we all know the answer
That really bums me out that they didn’t find dude 😔
Or the friend was part of it and got killed else where for saying something.
But this okada men were brave what if they are outnumbered by this cruel monsters but that's what a true friend will do if not for them this place will not have been exposed.
That stupid man with black Jeep will also be going to church or mosque and be spending huge money on worship day's and on religious leaders and everyone will be influenced by him that what a generous man on earth without knowing the source oh his/her wealth, shame on pastors and imams.
Africa has been engaging in this cruel trade since 1000BCE to make money and after the transatlantic slave trade and Arab slave trade they still continue till this days in secret so the white are not the one enslaving us anymore but our brothers and sisters and this people are usually very funny and crack jokes and everyone will always want to be around them because they are nice but in reality they are wolves in sheep clothing and those close to them are in den of death.
I bet you – they was talking shit to him lol on that phone call “foolish man – teeth suck – how you Dey go get kidnapped. “ lol
The police were in on it
Unarmed?!?!?
A FULL BODY alergy test likes. That wil do it.
So heartless…. what kind of broken person does this? makes me appreciate being gay and my hubby… Hate this world and its evils… that police is a joke…
Lots of people think it's for black magic but recent evidence suggests it's was for black market organs, its sold to other countries.
