Maybe this is what our senior commander was asking about: 'Infrared technology'. Thermal-infrared imaging is used extensively for military and civilian purposes. Military applications include target acquisition, surveillance, night vision, homing and tracking. Humans at normal body temperature radiate chiefly at wavelengths around 10 μm (micrometers). Target Acquisition is the detection, identification, and location of a target in sufficient detail to permit the effective employment of lethal and non-lethal means. The term is used for a broad area of applications. |

I wonder if the general can help me get the machine that can tell me next week's lottery numbers. The pay is huge $30 million dollars. Maybe the machine can also predict where shekau will strike next. Bunch of jokers. |

Ttalk: Since in Nigeria we have all being brainwash by our parents, like "do not protest, only person wey don chop belleful can potest" or "don't worry god will punish them" or "do what you can and leave this shyt hole" its going to be really hard to raise Nigerians to protest. The only solution i think its for Fed govt to cease federal allocation budget to each state, so the state will now be responsible for creating their own income. The reason why i propose this, is because, state will be forced to charge higher taxes on both the rich and poor. When the citizens of each state don't see development they will be forced to protest. Right now they tax but its so little, you cant even used the money collected from a state right now to develop a road, and usually the fund don't get to the oga at the top, because they don't care as they recieve federal allocation. The moment there is no allocation they will be forced to account for every revenue in the state to survive. Trust me the taxes will be so high they will not dare not fixing that road if not Nigerians will cut of their head.. Another advantage is states will become competitive, and try to lure investors to one another there by creating opportunities for them self, also right now FG has so much responsibilities,if they do this all they have to do is sit down every month and collect federal taxes from the state. They will also slim down the huge expenditure used to run the govt and tackle real problems like federal roads, Federal police system e.g FBI, over haul of some certain departments like an internal affairs to monitor the state police.. |

I was asked by a senior commander if we could sell them the machine that can tell if a car driving down the road contains a terrorist,” he added.“I tried to tell them that such a machine doesn’t exist, but then they just thought we were hiding it from them.” In one form or another most Nigerians have the mindset of the Senior Commander highlighted - it is one of the reason we've come further than most African Nations and yet one of the reason we may destroy ourselves - we want a quick-fix solution to National problems, National problems, which are for the most part caused by the fact that we're a developing nation. We need to strive as we do but be kinder to ourselves, work harder and be patient. There are no quick-fix buttons. 2 Likes |
