Politics / United State Agrees To Sell Fighter Planes To Nigeria At $593 Million by Desmond39: 6:37am On Dec 28, 2017
The United States has formally agreed to sell 12 Super Tucano A-29 planes and weapons to Nigeria, the West African country’s air force said, confirming the resurrection of a deal frozen by the Obama administration over rights concerns.

Former U.S. President Barack Obama delayed the sale in one of his last decisions in office after the Nigerian Air Force bombed a refugee camp in January.

But his successor Donald Trump decided to press on with the transaction to support Nigeria’s efforts to fight Boko Haram militants and to boost U.S. defence jobs, sources told Reuters in April.

The U.S. ambassador to Nigeria presented letters of offer and acceptance to Nigeria’s air force earlier on Wednesday, the air force said in a statement.

It said the U.S. State Department had approved the sale and final agreements would be signed and necessary payments made before Feb. 20.

There was no immediate statement from the U.S. embassy or from authorities in Washington.

U.S. government and Nigerian Air Force officials would meet in early January to discuss the early delivery of the aircraft once payment had been made, the Nigerian air force said.

The sale of the 12 aircraft, with weapons and services, is worth $593 million, and includes thousands of bombs and rockets.

According to Reuters, the propeller-driven plane with reconnaissance, surveillance and attack capabilities, is made by Brazil’s Embraer. A second production line is in Florida, in a partnership between Embraer and privately held Sierra Nevada Corp of Sparks, Nevada.

Health / 40 Indian Doctors Miraculously Separate Twins Joined In The Skull by Desmond39: 8:06pm On Oct 27, 2017
Doctors in India have successfully separated conjoined twin boys who were attached at the skull in a marathon surgical procedure that lasted more than 36 hours and involved 40 doctors.

The two-year-old twins, who suffered a rare condition occurring once in about 2.5 million births, underwent the operation at a government-run hospital in New Delhi on Wednesday.

“It was a team work of 40 doctors, 20 nurses and many other paramedical staff. Without their help this would not have been possible,” the All India Institute of Medical Science hospital said in a statement.

One of the surgeons involved said the most challenging aspect was repairing the holes left in the young boys’ heads after they were separated.

The twins were born in a village in the eastern state of Orissa with shared blood vessels and some shared brain tissue

They had undergone the first phase of the separation surgery in August.

“The most challenging job after the separation was to provide a skin cover on both sides of the brain for the children as the surgery had left large holes on their heads,” said Maneesh Singhal, a plastic surgeon who was a part of the operating team.

“The skin was generated from the expansion

“The next step will be reconstruction of their skulls,” he added.

Conjoined siblings are identical twins who are born with their skin and internal organs fused together, according to the University of Maryland Medical Centre website.

About half are stillborn, and the survival rate is between five and 25 percent.

They develop from a single egg, which splits in the case of healthy twins, but not fully in the case of conjoined siblings.

of two balloons which were placed inside their heads during the first surgery in August,” Singhal told AFP on Friday.

Politics / Gov Fayose Escape Death, His N44m G-wagon Got Burnt In Lagos[see Photos] by Desmond39: 5:57am On Oct 26, 2017
A N44million white Mercedes Benz G-Wagon (2017 edition) belonging to the Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, reportedly got burnt in Lagos on Tuesday.

Fayose’s spokesman, Lere Olayinka, who confirmed the incident, revealed that the SUV caught fire while on motion to the airport but the governor was not in the vehicle.

He added that no casualty was recorded and the cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.

Olayinka said the governor expressed his gratitude to the people who helped control the situation and grateful to God that no casualty was recorded.

Firemen at the scene of the incident

According to a review by the autos team of U.S. News & World Report, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class ranks 7 out of 7 Luxury Large SUVs.

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class ($122,400) is the most expensive SUV in its class.


At the current exchange rate of $1 to N359, the SUV will cost N43, 941, 600 (Forty three million, nine hundred and forty one thousand and six hundred naira only).

The report reads:

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is more of a status symbol than an everyday SUV. It costs more than every competitor, and it isn’t particularly practical to drive anywhere but off road.

However, if you want something that’ll grab attention and impress, it doesn’t get more distinctive than the G-Class, also known as the G550.

While the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a part of the luxury large SUV class, it’s really in a category all its own.

The G-Class is not a good SUV for most people. With its jarring ride and ponderous handling, the G-Class is not suitable for daily driving or lengthy trips.

However, it’s at home on treacherous trails and in harsh weather. The G550’s twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivers smooth power, and plenty of it.
