These countries’ citizens aren’t – These countries’ citizens aren’t…
These countries’ citizens aren’t – Imagine your country stopping…
Imagine your country stopping you from leaving. You can’t just buy a ticket, pay for your flight, and leave the country.
In some authoritarian countries, it is almost impossible for citizens to leave the country, as they are essentially stuck there.
Some also make travel requirements so difficult that it’s almost as if you are stuck there. Here are three of such countries.
Eritrea

This country in East Africa is very strict about citizens leaving the country. The Eritrean government punishes those who fail to complete their national service requirements and places restrictions on citizens’ legal capacity to leave the country.
The government carries out yearly roundups to find and apprehend evaders, and border security personnel have the authority to shoot anyone trying to escape without authorisation. Financial penalties and incarceration are examples of penalties for noncompliance.
Offenders who return after 40 years risk extended imprisonment and loss of rights. Penalties extend to their family, with fines, seized properties, forced replacements, or jail.
Due to concerns about players requesting asylum overseas and never coming back, the Eritrean football team, which hardly ever plays in international tournaments, has decided to skip the 2026 World Cup qualifying round.
North Korea

It is illegal for North Koreans to travel outside of their nation without permission from the government.
Those who do so risk harsh punishments like torture, forced labour, and life in a political prison camp.
The people are permitted to travel overseas are under strict surveillance and are required to return to North Korea for special ideological debriefings.
Turkmenistan

According to Turkey’s Law on Migration, which stipulates that a citizen’s departure may be prohibited if it compromises national security, the government still forbids some citizens from leaving the country.
According to the NGO Prove They Are Alive!, law enforcement agencies have the authority to prevent citizens from travelling, including young males, people who are being prosecuted or facing civil or criminal accusations, family members of those found guilty of the 2002 coup attempt, journalists, civil society activists, and their relatives.
According to the group, 20,000 people were prohibited from travelling for political reasons.
In the past, Iran and Cuba had strict policies against their citizens leaving the country, but they have been relaxed.

2Baba set to marry again – Is 2nd time the charm? X reacts

Congratulations to 2Baba and Natasha Osawaru—the newest engaged couple in town!
Nigerians woke up to yet another surprise from the African Queen crooner, a proposal video! Just when we were still processing 2baba’s new world. Recall that in an earlier video, he said:
Now this is my world. Make una help me beg am to marry me.
Unknown to us that he was eager to be the groom, 2baba wasted no time. In a viral clip, a blushing and shy Natasha swayed from side to side as 2Baba proposed to her, surrounded by what appeared to be their close friends.

Despite multiple baby mamas, seven children, and a history of cheating scandals, 2Baba still managed to win over a 31-year-old, never-been-married deputy majority leader of the Edo State House of Assembly with a law degree. It begs the question—are men the prize?
Natasha age 30, bagged a law degree from igbinedion university.
the current deputy majority leader of house of assembly of Edo state, never married, but willing to settle down with a well known promiscuous man, with 7 kids from 3 women,What does that says?

Are men really the price?
Natasha is 30, she has a law degree from igbinedion university.
She has never married, and is currently holding a position in the house of assembly Edo state. Yet she’s willing to settle down with a well known promiscuous man, with 7 kids from 3 women?— progress ejiogu (@progress_ejiogu) February 12, 2025
How is 2baba still a catch in the light of all these? Is it true love? Is it because of his fame? Did he sing you are my African queen to her and she fell for him? Natasha is the grand daughter of the wealthy Igbinedion family so its certainly not the money, right?
Some people are even pitying 2Baba, saying Natasha comes from a powerful family that won’t stand by and let him treat her like his past women. Could she be the one to finally make 2Baba a kept man?

This lady here is Natasha Osawaru Igbinedion, Member representing Egor constituency in the Edo state house of Assembly.

Or maybe we’re just overanalyzing. Maybe this marriage will last, and Natasha is the woman who finally brings him peace, who knows? He never denied her, publicly begged the entire country to beg her to marry him, and still went ahead to propose. If that’s not the sign of a truly finished man, what is?
Natasha Osawaru is a beautiful woman. 2face was brave to come out from the dark to propose his love for her in the light with that, it kills the rumor naturally. Like he said in the video he posted, everyone will be fine at the end. Let love lead. Let peace reign.

Some men are applauding 2Baba for finally choosing a “high-value” woman who matches his status. With Natasha’s impressive credentials, it’s clear she’s not just bringing something to the table—she’s bringing her own table.
One thing i love about 2face going for Honourable Natasha is that, finally men are beginning to go for high value well Qualified women.
not one yeye girl that think a man should do everything just because she is beautiful nothing more. the world of men is healing 🥱🍃 pic.twitter.com/aT4DfYOlfL

Men are taking jabs at online feminists who wrote off 2Baba after his divorce announcement. They assumed no Nigerian woman would accept him, but here we are, with a blushing bride-to-be!
Hungry feminists online: 2face is a bad person, no one will marry him again.
Natasha: pic.twitter.com/zJJggWUE91
— B O S S™️ (@averybadboy_x) February 12, 2025
And then to the other big rumour: Is Natasha really pregnant for 2baba? Is number 8 incoming? Whether it’s a deep love for children or a habit of leaving his mark, one thing is certain—2Baba’s genes are so strong, a DNA test is hardly necessary.
If Natasha is really pregnant at her age , with all her accomplishments, for a man that has not even started his divorce process, then true true, men are the prize.
Cos what do you mean you are pregnant for 2Face?— Last B 🌼🌸 (@Ony1nyechi) February 12, 2025
We just hope Natasha knows exactly what she’s signing up for. With all the Annie drama, we’re not saying she’s walking into a battlefield instead of a marriage, more like stepping onto an unpredictable battleground.
The only woman that should be with 2face is the woman that knows exactly what she’s getting in to
You don’t decide to be with a man like 2face and go there to be doing lover girl, romantic head and understanding woman
A woman like Tonto would have given 2face a run for his…— JB (@JB_Shares) February 13, 2025
But did we expect 2baba to leave the rest of his life alone? or maybe its because it’s too soon. Wo, I don’t know jare, make I go find food chop.

5 unexpected ways your ex is still affecting your current relationship
![5 unexpected ways your ex is still affecting your current relationship 14 93454602 8a59 4ebd a3b2 cec2adf57655](https://turo247newz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/93454602-8a59-4ebd-a3b2-cec2adf57655.jpg.webp)
Moving on from an ex is not always as simple as deleting their number or unfollowing them on social media.
Even when you believe you’ve moved on from the past, certain experiences from your old relationship may still be subtly influencing your new one. You might be carrying hidden emotional baggage without even realising it.
If left unchecked, these seemingly these little things can cause problems in a new relationship. The good news? Recognising these hidden effects can help you break free from the past and fully enjoy your present relationship.
Here are five surprising ways your ex might still be influencing your love life.
1. You compare your partner to your ex
It’s natural to compare things in life, but when it comes to relationships, this habit can be dangerous. If your ex was romantic and always surprised you with gifts, you might expect the same from your new partner. On the other hand, if your ex was emotionally distant, you might be overly cautious and misinterpret your new partner’s actions.
2. You have trust issues
If your ex lied or cheated on you, it’s understandable that you might struggle to trust again. You may find yourself doubting your partner’s words, feeling suspicious when they go out with friends, or even checking their phone.
However, trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship. Constant doubt can push your partner away. Instead of assuming the worst, give your partner the benefit of the doubt and focus on building trust together.

3. You fear getting hurt again
A painful breakup can leave emotional scars. If your ex broke your heart, you might subconsciously fear the same thing happening again. This fear can cause you to hold back emotionally, avoid deep conversations, or even reject love before it has a chance to grow.
4. You struggle with emotional baggage
Old wounds don’t just disappear when a relationship ends. If your ex made you feel unworthy, unloved, or not good enough, those feelings might still linger. You may feel the need to prove your worth in your current relationship or feel anxious about being abandoned.
Self-awareness is key. Take time to heal, practice self-love, and remind yourself that you deserve happiness. A good partner will support you, but healing is something only you can do for yourself.
5. You expect the worst
If your past relationship ended badly, you might believe that all relationships are doomed. This mindset can make you overanalyse every little disagreement or assume that your partner will eventually leave you.
Instead of living in fear, focus on the present. Every relationship is different, and just because something happened before doesn’t mean it will happen again.
Give love a real chance.
