Just in: Nigerian guy b**rns his NYSC and BSC certificate after 7years of going to uni and serving his country and then finally getting a job only to be told he will be paid N95k salary monthly and his transport fare to his office will cost N3k daily a total of N60k a month so he will be left with only N35k!!! 🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🏿‍♀️💨

When the world’s most powerful MILITARY landed in Somalia in 1993, they thought it would be a quick job — in and out, one hour tops. But the streets of MOGADISHU turned into a deadly trap that even the best-trained soldiers could barely survive. Black Hawk helicopters fell from the sky. Soldiers were outnumbered, outgunned, and surrounded by locals fighting for their land.

This is the true story behind OPERATION BLACK HAWK DOWN — a mission that changed how AMERICA fights its wars abroad. Many young soldiers paid with their lives, while Somali families lost even more. What lesson did the world learn? And did anyone truly win?

HISTORY holds countless forgotten HEROES, and EMMANUEL CHUKWU is one of them. In 1989, when LIBERIA plunged into brutal chaos that brought down SAMUEL DOE, this one NIGERIAN MAN risked everything to RESCUE more than 1,000 fellow Nigerians from sure death. His COURAGE reminds us that true leaders are made in moments of crisis. (Source: BBC Africa Archives)
