This video has made international headlines for all the wrong reasons. Helicopter pilots occasionally make hard landings during flight displays to rapidly bleed off air speed. Helicopter landing zones during exhibitions are strictly defined with little room for maneuvers to avoid rotor blade hazards.

France 🇫🇷 confirmed it has withdrawn all of its diplomats from Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 after the West African nation recently cut diplomatic ties with its former colonial power.

The French Foreign Ministry confirmed that all diplomatic staff returned to France late last week.

Burkinabe diplomats are also expected to leave by the end of the week, closing the chapter of french imperialism in Burkina Faso.

On Monday, July 13th, we will gather in solemn remembrance to honor the life, legacy and enduring service of our late boss, former President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, one year after his passing. He dedicated his life to the service of Nigeria with commitment, integrity, discipline and patriotism. His efforts and contributions to national development will remain an important part of our nation’s history.

As family, friends, associates and Nigerians come together in prayer and reflection, we ask Almighty Allah (SWT) to forgive his shortcomings, grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus, and continue to comfort his loved ones and our dear nation.

May Allah grant him eternal rest. Ameen.

Look at what your idiots like Jacinta have done! Xenophobia is now equivalent to apartheid

South Africa is seen as an aggressor now !

Many of our sporting teams will face this rubbish! Sadly they will
have to answer to rubbish they did not create.

[MZANSI AWAKe @Mzansiawake]

I don’t blame Ngizwe and Phakela for taking the R3 million.
They created a hustle and got paid, just like every other politician does.

My problem was with the harassment and killing of innocent Africans in South Africa.

At the end of the day, they came up with their own business plan and got paid for it.
For me, business is business.@Mzanziawake

NEW: President Trump praises Turkey as a "great ally," suggesting his influence stopped the nation from entering a wider Middle East conflict with Israel.

"They could have gotten into the fight, they're a very powerful military nation. They didn't do that.”

"Maybe they didn't do that because of me. But they could have gotten into the fight on the other side.”

As the focus of undocumented foreign nationals remains under the microscope, many of them are seemingly afraid of seeking healthcare. Civil society groups warn that this could turn into a humanitarian crisis. While some South Africans have welcomed shorter queues at some of Johannesburg's busiest clinics, others argue that foreign nationals are not the only cause of pressure on public healthcare.

I haven't stopped thinking about a brilliant little girl named Faith that I met outside the Malawian consulate in Joburg.

She was born in South Africa but her whole family is undocumented. Her dad - a gardener - said they were kicked out of their house and he lost his job

Will this claim not spark a new wave of reactions about the ethnic tributaries of the Yoruba people? I guess the Oluwo should be properly guided on why the practice of tribal marks originated in areas where it was done, or still being done.

[Oyo Matters @Oyo_Matters]

"Iwo and other Yoruba people are not from the origin of Ile-Ife. If Ile-Ife is the origin of the Yoruba, it would also have been the origin of tribal marks, traditional Aso Oke and talking drums. But Ile-Ife does not have all these." — Oluwo

This is one of the things I love most about Lagos , Yorubaland . Whenever a foreign celebrity visits, we welcome them with our rich, beautiful, and authentic culture. We never miss the opportunity to show the world the pride, hospitality, and heritage of Yorubaland. Our culture speaks for itself. 🫡🇳🇬✨
