Send her to make prison straight since she is man enough to marry a woman. She’s a man. She should be locked together in make prison. I can’t wait to see her get pregnant in 1 year

Wetin she go do for Russia? She didn't just go, she went with something they can use to pin her. Even paracetamol dem fit talk say na cocaine she carry. Trouble dey sleep yanga go wake am.

USA proposed a prisoner swap, Russia did not respond. cheesy

Exactly my point ! What on earth was she doing in Russia at this point in time ( she was playing for her BB team for some money ) why weed when it is illegal to do so.
This can be resolved with a phone call to Putin but which Biden can’t make personally.
Let him call Trump to help out grin

@ the bolded. I'm currently watching the news on CNN and according to Christine Brennan, Sports Columnist, USA Today, WNBA aren't paid well compared to other leagues.

She played in the Russian Basketball league during the US off-season, and that's why she was in Russia at that time.

Lmao@ the second paragraph. You just want to find trouble. grin

Countries have different rules for drugs.

One American executive once was arrested in Japan for bringing in drugs that are prescription drugs in the USA, illegal in Japan.

Remember what happend when Aregbesola allegedly called for legalization of marijuana in naija , and the amount of abuse he got that he had to retract his comment.

The woman is lucky. If she carried that stuff into somewhere like Indonesia....
Akeredolu, not Aregbesola.

Does a wife get married to another wife? Cos i don't understand what u are trying to posit. It clearly says her wife. She might be female by sex bt nt gender. Gender wise, she has an imaginary dick.

What a situation to be in. Where are the LGBTQIA+ to his rescue? Since you still claim she said she's a man. Where did she say so?

sharrap there, u goblin, I've never seen a case of drug trafficking where someone took such small amt of drug, pleaded for leniency after admitting guilt , being remorseful and saving court unnecessary stress and still got a 9yr prison sentence, even a stupid person knows this judgment is unjustified and clear case of judging someone based on d sins of d father, she should appeal d judgement, and US Biden should try to talk directly with Putin for a way to try to help her although I know she would still definitely serve jail sentence of maybe 2yrs or 1yr 6months, I urge Putin to be professional and act in good faith
Appeal Appeal Appeal

Nor be for the same Russia she go appeal?

I am afraid she might not escape with a prison term.


Its so unfortunate; but what scares me more is the sort of comments am reading here.

Sentenced for 1 gram of substance found inside her oil;
But what people are condemning her for, is her sexuality.!!!

Isn't nairaland/ twitter in Nigeria a cursed placed?
That's what we see even in our political space and others.

we are asking she gets justice thats equivalent to the crime she committed, she pleaded for mercy, admitted guilt and shown deep remorse, it counts for something, we re not saying she won't face consequences or abscond jail term, we re only saying she gets the right sentence for what she committed given the circumstances, Biden should call Putin in person

the lengthy sentence clearly has to do with the current frosty relations between US and Russia over Ukraine's war

Hopefully she will regain her freedom soon, though she broke the law by going to Russia with drugs



you think if she was foreigner and smuggled illegal substance to United States, the US would let her go or hand her over to her native country?. Hell no. She would serve her jail term in the US and gets deported afterwards.

Law is law. Respect country's law

Oh, they sentenced her at last.
Even Joe Biden couldn't do anything about the case.
Perhaps, she is guilty as charged.


25Kobo,
You have a good point there.
A very salient point.
It is a case of All man for for himself!


when you get a US passport - you are “strictly” advised by the US State Department to obey the local laws of the country you are traveling to - just because you are American does not mean you are above the local laws of other countries - the difference is that America will fight for you if you are a US citizen and being victimized overseas - but when you break laws - unnecessarily- hmmm OYO for you oooo - you are on your own!

An honest mistake?? How can that be.

Some things we consider as hard drugs in other part of the world, are actually legal medically prescribed medicine in the US.. So she was simply traveling with the medically prescribed medicine that she normally travels around with in the US..

US rules and Russia rules aren't the same. Its not her fault.. Its customs in America that shouldn't have let her on the plane because they are supposed to know.. Not her.
