We will not tolerate recruitment of Nigerians to join fight in Ukraine - FG says

-

 

The Federal Government has said it will not tolerate the recruitment of Nigerians as fighters in Ukraine amid the Russian invasion. 

 According to a statement signed by Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Francisca Omayuli, and released on Monday, March 7, the government is in talks with Ukraine to prevent Nigerians from being used as mercenaries in Ukraine. 

 The statement comes after Nigerians trooped to the Ukrainian Embassy in Abuja to volunteer following the Ukrainian President's call for people around the world to join the fight. The statement reads: "The attention of the Federal Government of Nigeria has been drawn to an alleged ongoing registration of Nigerian volunteers into the fighting force of Ukraine at the Ukrainian Embassy in Abuja. 


 "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted the Embassy to verify the speculation. The Ukrainian Embassy refuted the allegation but confirmed that a number of Nigerians had approached the Embassy indicating their willingness to fight on the side of Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia.

 "Furthermore, the Embassy clarified that the Ukrainian government is not admitting foreign volunteer fighters and as such dissociated itself from the claim that it is requesting $1,000 from each Nigerian volunteer for air ticket and visa. "As a responsible member of the international community and consistent with our obligations under international law, Nigeria discourages the use of mercenaries anywhere in the world and will not tolerate the recruitment, in Nigeria, of Nigerians as mercenaries to fight in Ukraine or anywhere else in the world. 

 "The Federal Government will continue to engage with the Embassy of Ukraine in Nigeria and other relevant authorities to prevent this possibility."

 Actor and comedian, John Okafor, aka Mr Ibu, said he fathered thirteen children from multiple women. Mr Ibu made this revelation in an interview with Punchng.com when arguing against the notion that men with potbellies underperformed sex wise. “Some people have said that people with potbellie s are not good lovers or sexually active but being good on the bed is relative. My answer to this is that I have 13 children (10 boys and two girls) though I lost one of them. That is the evidence of my sexual virility. I hatch children like pigeons,” the actor told the paper. According to him, four of his children are from his current wife, adding “I don’t cheat on my wife. I had children before I married her. I left that life because many women wanted to have children for me but I cannot build a primary school in my house.” See some of his children below: Read Also  “The God Of The 11th Hour Has Done It For Me” Actress Nkiru Sylvanus Excited As She Gets Engaged At 38(Photos)
