 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his. Authorities noted the inspections were part of broader efforts at the airport due to high outbound narcotics activity. In total, Tiernan was carrying 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, of marijuana. Homeland Security initially declined the case because the amount did not meet the federal threshold, a...

 FG Warns Abuja Auto Dealer Sarkinmota Over Condescending Remarks Against Civil Servants


The Federal Government, through the National Orientation Agency (NOA), has issued a stern warning to prominent Abuja automobile dealer, Alamin Sarkinmota, for taunting Nigerian civil servants in his promotional videos. The warning was contained in a letter signed by NOA Director-General, Lanre Issa-Onilu, on Monday at 1:00 PM WAT.


The controversy stems from a recent video skit by Sarkinmota promoting a Mercedes Benz 2023 C300 with Artificial Intelligence (AI) functionalities. In the video, Sarkinmota asked the car, “Can civil servants afford you?” to which the AI responded, “No! Maybe in 2062.” The remark drew widespread criticism for its condescending tone toward civil servants.


In the letter, Issa-Onilu expressed the agency’s displeasure, stating, “At a time when Nigerians are passing through so much social pressure and in an environment where get-rich-at-all-cost syndrome is pervasive, it is wrong to be speaking in such condescending terms about Nigerian civil servants.” He emphasized the critical role civil servants play in creating an enabling environment for businesses like Sarkinmota’s to thrive, adding that such remarks undermine the dignity of labor and decent values.


“Civil servants across sectors are the ones who work hard to provide an enabling environment for businesses like yours to prosper. It is therefore indecent to speak condescendingly about Nigerian civil servants who dedicate many years to driving the machinery of government for national development,” the statement read.


The NOA urged Sarkinmota to be mindful of his language in future promotions to avoid hurting the sensibilities of any segment of Nigerians. The agency noted that the warning was prompted by feedback from numerous viewers of the video. “Kindly please take note,” Issa-Onilu added, while expressing hope for a Nigeria where the dignity of labor is valued over material wealth.


Sarkinmota, a well-known auto dealer in the Federal Capital Territory, has a history of trolling civil servants for their inability to afford the luxury vehicles he sells, a practice that has now drawn official rebuke.
