That's what community is all about. Amazing!

[Kwena Molekwa @Miz_Ruraltarain]

When a cargo truck carrying alcohol overturned in Botswana, the local community did something unexpected: instead of looting, they gathered to collect the bottles and stack them neatly by the roadside.

This powerful display of civic decency forces us to look in the mirror. Can we, as South Africans, learn something vital from our neighbors?

It is easy to blame systemic frustrations for crime, but Botswana just reminded us that poverty is not an excuse for a lack of integrity. True community wealth isn't about seizing a free opportunity; it is about holding onto your dignity when chaos strikes. It is time we trade opportunistic chaos for collective accountability

@SeaJustified @instablog9ja Heart attack is government propaganda. Did the government send a doctor to the boko haram forest to verify the cause of death and issue a death certificate??

@Chikauniqu @Cleverlydey4u I haven't seen Nigerian celebrities, pastors, bloggers, politicians speak out against the scourge of kidnappings of children, women and men in Northern Nigeria. Everyone is pretending as if everything in Nigeria is perfect and it's the safest place on earth.

Six Nigerians Ran an AI Deepfake Romance Scam from a Nonthaburi Riverside Condo. A Cocaine Bust Led Thai Police to Them.

Thai police raided a luxury condominium on the Chao Phraya River in Nonthaburi on May 22 and arrested six Nigerian men running a romance scam ring built on AI-generated faces and fake video calls.

The trail started with cocaine. In April, police arrested a Nigerian man named Patrick and three associates on trafficking charges and seized 2.5 million baht in assets. The money trail led to foreign nationals on student visas living five or six to a unit in a high-end riverside condo near Phra Nangklao Bridge, none enrolled in school, none working.

Police executed three warrants on three units, forcing entry after the suspects refused to open. One man tried to climb over a balcony. Another lay hiding on a bathroom floor, texting the other units to warn them. Officers seized 18 phones, three laptops, and three bank passbooks, the phones still open to active romance scam chats.

The group posed as pilots, US military officers, doctors, and engineers, built relationships with older Thai women, then claimed a valuable package was stuck in customs requiring a transfer fee. Investigators recovered AI-generated Western faces used to produce fake video calls, and "sexy chat" scripts written to push older women toward transferring money. Police said a single well-crafted line could convince a victim to empty her account.

All six face initial charges of illegal association (อั้งยี่) and immigration overstay. Fraud and romance scam charges are pending.

@ImANorthernGirl @itswpceo @grok Hmm Nigeria has really fallen from grace! And this comes after the kidnapping of 50 school children and a security crisis that's taking a toll on several communities!

@ZimbabweHistor2 @cliff_doctor Assimilation? You're very naïve. The Arabs had a deep hatred for Black people that they'd never allow assimilation. Black people were systematically wiped out in the Arab world. The mass castration of black men in the Arab world meant no offspring or future

[Rich @RichPerceptions]

@BoogieHarrySA @WithoutHistory @MalcomEhx Allegedly? It's a fact. Russia doesn't care anything about Africa except strategic interests, business, and also to create a distance between Africa and the West. Many Africans are very easy to manipulate and deceive. Just that staged ceremony is enough!

[Rich @RichPerceptions]

@ChatuBellamine This is an opportunity for you to turn your life around and stay away from trouble completely. Your father was an African revolutionary and an accomplished intellectual and there's so much you can learn from his story. Be good, avoid trouble, don't break the law!

[Rich @RichPerceptions]

@BBCAfrica Calm down guys 🤣🤣 this was just a light hearted joke that some people seem to have taken seriously. William Ruto is known to have a good sense of humour and sometimes will throw some playful barbs every now and then. And he speaks eloquently!

[Rich @RichPerceptions]

@masspaul_ Yes, he is a citizen by descent so he is a full citizen with full citizenship rights. Any child automatically becomes a citizen whether born at home or abroad as the citizenship is automatically inherited from the parents.

@DanielRegha @instablog9ja I know the congregants give their offerings to the church which is run by the pastor and we assume the money goes to his accounts somehow. So when he says he gives $12,000 offering per week and he's the pastor, whom does he give his offering to? Idk how it works

[Rich @RichPerceptions]

@ValaAfshar Posting a video of black children shivering in the rain and cold is what makes you feel better and grateful for what you have?? Someone else's misfortune is what makes your day better and teaches you to be grateful? What a way of thinking!

[Rich @RichPerceptions]

@thekanoblog @NigeriaStories You're still pretending that Boko Haram is not actively kidnapping and killing Nigerians daily because they're your own?

[Rich @RichPerceptions]

@Darlingho8 @CorrectBabie Well spotted. A made up story!

[Rich @RichPerceptions]

#Uganda #Jamaica #Nigeria & other commonwealth members have their flags flying outside the British Parliament today , 13th March 2026. It's an acknowledgement of the common values of democracy, unity, development and also a shared history.

[Rich @RichPerceptions]

@k_sithebe So sorry for your loss. The loss of a loved one, especially a child with a whole life ahead of them is a tragedy beyond comprehension. May you find the strength and resilience to help you navigate this difficult time. My deepest sympathy goes out to you.

@ImANorthernGirl Patriarchal societies and systems are partly to blame for the suppression of women's dreams and voices. Fortunately, the world is changing fast. The world will become 100 times better if every individual regardless of gender fulfills their potential
