 "Please, Nigerians, it's time to stop. You guys have damaged a lot of businesses" South African man begs after Nigerians grounded businesses in SA A man claiming to be from South Africa has released a video calling for a ceasefire from Nigerians after an online spat between both countries split into reality.

In a video going viral on TikTok, a man is seen saying he's speaking on behalf of South Africans. He begged Nigerians to stop the economic sabotage, adding that a lot of businesses have been damaged as a result.  Watch video below.

Mr Zuckerberg’s letter comes days after Telegram’s Russian founder Pavel Durov was arrested in France amid several reports and accusations regarding the lack of content moderation on the company’s messaging platform.

  Biden’s Visa Reform Temporarily Blocked by Texas Ruling A Texas judge has temporarily halted a key immigration reform policy introduced by President Joe Biden, which aimed to simplify the process for spouses of US citizens to secure legal status. On Monday, Judge J. Campbell Barker issued a 14-day administrative stay in response to a lawsuit filed by the Republican attorneys general of 16 states. The policy, announced in June, was designed to streamline the pathway to citizenship for approximately half a million immigrants married to US nationals. Judge Barker’s ruling comes as the 16 states involved in the lawsuit argue that the new policy imposes significant financial burdens on them due to increased public service usage by immigrants. “The claims are substantial and warrant closer consideration than the court has been able to afford to date,” Barker wrote in his order. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose state is part of the lawsuit, vowed to continue the fight against th...

 A 21-year-old Texas man loses his life saving a teen girl only one hour after his baptism, ensuring his place with the angels.  Lincer Lopez and a group of people from his church visited Lake Waxahachie in Garland, Texas on Saturday afternoon. While on the church outing, Lopez was baptized. As the group celebrated in the water, an hour later, a teenage girl began struggling. Lopez sprang into action without a second thought for his own safety. Sadly, Lopez found himself struggling soon after and slipped below the surface of the water.  The teen girl was rescued soon after by a boater who administered CPR and was able to resuscitate her. Unfortunately it was too late for Lopez, however the same boater was able to recover his body from the water. Lincer Lopez truly is a hero and selflessly gave his own life to save another life.  Our thoughts are with his family and friends in their time of grief.
