The Nigerian stock exchange is not even worth much more than what Dangote is purported to be worth.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

What is the market capitalisation of the Nigerian stock market?

Also tell of the market cap of Dangote industries on the NSE?

3. F-35 may be operating at any hight. It will be stealthyer at low level than high level
Guy the f35 is a turkey that can be shot down any time anywhere with the most simple apparatus you could ever imagine. The stealth mode is overrated just give up on it!
1. 2011, the plane was grounded twice with
electrical problems. One incident in August
of 2012 resulted in a complete failure of
the aircraft's integrated power package,
which combines the functions performed
by an auxiliary power unit, emergency
power system, and environmental controls.
2. Developers have also discovered major
issues with its software, which Air Force
Maj. Gen. Christopher Bogdan once called
"the gorilla in the room."
3. And it's supposed to fool enemy radar with
stealth capabilities. But stealth coatings
have been found peeling off, and the
Pentagon report mentions — but does not
describe — a "classified" deficiency. Bill
Sweeney of Aviation Week says, "dollars to
doughnuts it has something to do with
stealth."
4. One variant of the F-35 has shown cracks
underneath its fuselage, making many
wonder if it can handle the rigors of future
air combat.
5. The advanced helmet is supposed to let
pilots see data from all the plane's
sensors, effectively allowing the pilot to
look right through the floor of the plane
and all around it. But it has big problems
with night vision, delays in displaying data,
and even jitter, under certain conditions.
Pilots have noticed a green glow at the
visor's edges and problems with
alignment.
6. Lockheed and The Pentagon aren't getting
along so well either. The relationship “is
the worst I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been in
some bad ones,” said Maj. Gen.
Christopher Bogdan in September 2012. “I
guarantee you: we will not succeed on this
if we do not get past that.”
All of these issues have Congress' eye as
well: On the senate floor, John McCain
said, "in a nutshell, the [Joint Strike
Fighter] program has been both a scandal
and a tragedy."

The problems with the F-35 make many
wonder why The Pentagon continues with
the program.
So you see what am saying? Give up.

That is entirely untrue because the greatest African to ever exist in the universe is a South African known as Nelson Mandela




BEE is a government policy and was a requirement in order to redress the socioeconomic imbalances of the past. Many BEE companies are doing business in Nigeria.


Mzilakazi, don't kid yourself. South-African blacks are generally un-educated, un-intelligent and mentally weak. You just can't compete, you don't like it, doesn't make it false.


Nelson mandela did nothing, and definitely is no great African. Many African leaders also went to Prison, Fmr.President Obasanjo was released from Prison in 1998, and he became President in 1999. No big deal!! Mandela been media worshipped doesn't make him great.

Actual Great African leaders are Kwame Nkrumah, Thomas sankara, Patrice lumumba, Gen. Murtala muhammed...... Not mandela.


BEE is a government policy that has enriched members of the ANC and their cronies. This is what it is.

Fact is, Companies from South-Africa that are operating in Nigeria are white, mostly Afrikanner owned. Not even 1 is black.

It goes to show how mentally weak and Docile Black South-Africans are. After 21years in power, you blacks cannot raise a company(s) that is/are Africa competitive.

Your Defence industry.......... We all know how that one is, LOL. It is self-explanatory.

Idleness is not a factor, xenophobia is fuelled by.

-Competition that the locals cannot tolerate relating to small businesses. The only means of survival by black SA during apartheid was thought small business management and since then that opportunity has since been seized by foreigners.

- Increased number of violence involving drug dealings by foreigners

- Increased incidences of money scams and dubious electronic bank smses that seeks to dub people of their money from their bank accounts.

- Widespread practice of hoodoo and fake magical healing as opportunity to dub people of their money. Often, victims are promised luck, success and prosperity.

-Over increase of number of foreigners with fake documents, etc. However that is not an excuse for SA to beat those people

Somebody is telling you the bitter truth below :

The boy is looking for excuses left right center

First they were taking your jobs

Then they were taking your women

Then they were selling drugs to your kids

Then they were opening up spaza shops and crafts shops, reducing prices and outsmarting you in business.

NOW it is they do not want to mingle with us.


Bunch of excuses to justify the locals anger and not being able to compete within the South African economic system. If you didn't know how to do it before the Foriegners, you damn sure aint gonna be able to do it after.

Those are lies. The reason why I have asked is because recently I was watching an overseas financial channel interviewing economists and chartered accountants who on their personal capacity do not believe Dangote is worth what he is told. They believe that he is not the richest man in Africa and that his net worth is much much less than $5 billion. Forbes was found to be planting propaganda about the man.

Forbes magazine is telling lies about Dangote.....but Defenceweb must be believed when they talk about German navy shooting? Right? Only your own sources are always right. Mumu + Mugu .

You drunk early this friday?

Mandela was the greatest South African.

He is NOT the greatest African, he fought for his own local people in South Africa as a country, he NEVER fought for Africa as a continent, the rest of Africa was already free while Mandela was coming out of jail...thanks to the other Africans like Obasanjo of Nigeria who fought to save Mandela from premature death in the jaws of the apartheid masters.

Greatest African? Where would you put Kmawe Nkrumah, Nnamdi Azikwe the Zik Of Africa, Haile Selasie of Ethiopia who made a country that would never be colonized in black Africa?

The business experts say he is overrated. However, there is an element of truth in what they say. Last year Nigeria had over 23 number of billionaires and this year that number has shrunk to only five. How could this be possibly true?

In 2013, Dangote was $2 billion richer and only in 2014 he was about $25 billion rich. Come on, forbes is playing hide and sick with our minds.

Will current xenophobia is SA, let us remember the other notorious xenophobic event of the past.

LOME, Togo, Feb. 1— Tens of thousands of hungry and impoverished people who have been expelled from Nigeria hurried today along the seaside road that leads to the frontier with ghana at the edge of this normally quiet West African capital. The refugees, expelled for economic and political reasons by Nigeria, passed through Lome in taxis, cattle trucks and on foot, most of them men in their 20's, many of them carrying a single suitcase as they walked along the Atlantic coastal road. Some two million unskilled foreign workers living illegally in Nigeria were ordered to start leaving by Monday. At least half of them were Ghanaians, and others were from Mali, Chad, Niger, Upper Volta, Benin and Togo. Under international and African pressure, President Shehu Shagari of Nigeria extended the expulsion deadline for skilled foreigners, mostly schoolteachers, until March 1. President Shagari announced the expulsions Jan. 17, saying the foreigners were the cause of economic problems and religious and racial unrest. 16 Reported to Have Died In Lagos, the Nigerian capital, at least 16 people were reported to have died as a result of the forced exit. Six people drowned in the Lagos harbor Monday night trying to climb aboard overcrowded ships leaving for Accra, ghana 's capital. Ten refugees were said to have starved to death. At the frontier, Togolese guards let the refugees pass by the thousands without a check. A hundred yards away, by a concrete arch with the words ''Welcome to ghana '' in large letters, Ghanaian border guards appeared to be making only cursory inspections of the refugees as they entered. As one truck carrying perhaps 50 refugees crossed the border, the Ghanaians cheered -but not loudly, more in relief than joy. A boy waved a small Ghanaian flag from the back of the truck. http://www.nytimes.com/1983/02/02/world/by-land-and-sea-they-stream-from-nigeria.htm

Stealth isn't about avoiding radar detection only.

The Sukhoi stand a tiny chance against the F-22.

Many western fighter have IRST systems, and these systems came from research and development of the west. Russia again followed.

2. Go read on it.

3. Stealth Fighters like the F-35 are a Trillion dollars waste of resources. Stealth technology can't even meet up with advances in Radar tech.

4. Air campaigns are all system based. From the campaigns in the North-East of Nigeria - the most widely imagined US v.s Russia combats, Airforces deploy varying degress of data linked systems which allow them better prosecute/ defend objectives.

5. Yeah, what ever it is, the USMC purchased harrier jump jets from the brits, turkey supplies the Americans MRAPs and boeing purchased Patria AMVs from finland and the stryker IFV is a mowag.

Simply put, nobody is an island.

However, each individual country can build whatever system they buy abroad as soon as relationships get hostile.

1. Fvcking citation needed - there were no radar guided missiles in WW2
2. Read what?

Cool, you have now admitted:

America used mercenaries in Iraq for defensive role. Never mind the fact that combat is both offensive and defensive, a fight is a fight. Defensive combat, offensive combat, all is = combat.

SADF used at least a whole battalion of foreign white and black mercenaries in Angolan war....never mind the fact that over 60,000 black Angolan UNITA rebels were finaced by South Africa to directly fight Cuban army for many years while SADF deployed only 4,000 troops..... so UNITA rebels takes 90% glory for the ground war efforts against Cuban army.

Meanwhile in Nigerian war on Boko Haram, NO SINGLE MERCENARY FIRED ONE BULLET....yes, we had a PMC of 5 trainers who mentored 100 Nigerian troops called strike force, lightly armed men with ordinary machine guns that could not cover 0.0001 % of the war zone bigger than Scotland.

The photo of a pilot flying the Hind helicopter is the backview of a faceless man whose jacket collar is assumed by you to be human blonde hair. Have you ever heard of international standard called positive identification? Have you seen where an embassy gives visa to a man whose international passport shows the back of his head and all covered with helmet and heavy jackets... please show us the face of that pilot, we need to see a white-man's face to prove your mercenary is flying Mi-35 Hind....show us the pilots face !

Camouflaged or covered images, backview of heavily clothed people, is inadmissible evidence/exhibit in court anywhere in this world.

US military hired mercenaries to perform minor security and protection roles. Protecting local leaders, compounds, oil facilities etc. They used them as well armed security guards. You use mercenaries as combatants and instructors for your men.

so Mandela made some bunch of iliterate Blacks free including himself and we should call him the greatest man africa have ever produced?
