whose ancestors invaded and occupied the land after the byzantines during the golden age of the arab - islamic conquest. who did they meet there.
however am a centrist on this subject

Who do you think displaced the jews from palestine? do you know about the Roman Conquest and Destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE when many Jews were killed, enslaved, or displace and again in 136 CE under Emperor Hadrian of the Roman Empire who renamed Judea as Palaestina, expelled many Jews and banned them from Jerusalem. When the caliphate conquered Palestine they mate Roman, greeks and arab christians not jews as they were a minority at that time and the caliphate never expelled those jews.

What's happening at COREN? Why are they taking forever to address this messy website issue.

Just got a message from COREN to log in as an applicant using 1-6 as password, and email as username, even though I wrote my exams last year and already have my Certificate and Iron seal.

What is the problem...

Same with me, I even paid the migration fee and printed the Notification of full registration from the Practitioners Portal, but now I can only log in as an applicant, and it's asking me to apply for the Exam again.

The terms "lack of culture of maintenance" and "culture of lack of maintenance" both highlight issues related to maintenance practices in Nigeria, but they differ in focus and implications. Here's an explanation and differentiation:

1. Lack of Culture of Maintenance

This phrase refers to a systemic absence of maintenance as a regular and ingrained practice in society. It implies that maintenance is not part of the norm or value system, and there is no structured approach to ensuring the longevity of infrastructure, machinery, or systems.
Key Characteristics:

Systemic Neglect: Maintenance is not prioritized in policies or practices.

Planning Failure: Maintenance activities are not planned or budgeted for, leading to reactive rather than proactive maintenance.

Cultural Gap: People do not see maintenance as essential, often waiting for complete breakdowns before taking action.

Example: Roads, public buildings, and utilities in Nigeria often fall into disrepair due to a lack of regular maintenance culture.


2. Culture of Lack of Maintenance

This phrase goes a step further, suggesting that the absence of maintenance is a habitual or entrenched norm. It implies a deeper societal acceptance or tolerance for poor maintenance practices as a way of life.
Key Characteristics:

Entrenched Behavior: The failure to maintain is normalized and perpetuated across generations.

Resistance to Change: Efforts to introduce a maintenance culture face societal or institutional resistance because people are accustomed to living with dilapidation.

Blame and Excuses: There is often an attitude of deflecting responsibility, leading to continued neglect.

Example: Public institutions that consistently ignore broken facilities or equipment, treating the dysfunction as "normal."

Thank you.

There are two sections in the exam,
Section A. Question on Engineer in the society
which is compulsory for everybody.
For the exam we were asked to Explain and differentiate between lack of culture of maintenance and culture of lack of maintenance in Nigeria.

Section B. Three Questions to test knowledge of 1. Electrical knowledge
2. Electronics knowledge
3. Computer Engineering knowledge
You will pick anyone you like

I picked the one on electronic.
The Questions are 1. What are Rectifiers
2.Explain and mention different types of rectifiers
3. And one other question which I can't remember

Oral defence

You will present your certified binded project writeup. There is mark for
1. Dressing
2. Current affairs
3. Follow coren writeup format, marks will be awarded based on what they want like safety standard, Bills of Engineering Materials(BEM )etc
3 Questions will be asked based on what you presented in the write up. Like where do you work. What's your duties, roles etc

Don't present voluminous project writeup like PhD thesis o. Just present a writeup up to 10- 30 pages.

Those that will register as Electrical Engineer, Electronic Engineer and Computer Engineer will write the same exam.

The questions are generally basic ,not difficult not too technical or theoretical. No mobile phone will be allowed in the exam center

Exam started at exactly 9:00, after registration
Oral interview start immediately after written test .The atmosphere is cool and no one will fail anybody if you follow their instructions. The interviewers are generally friendly.
Ensure your project write up is endorsed (with seal) by two coren registered engineer. even those not in your field can endorsed it

Currently, the Brazilian Air Force has a fleet of 60 A-29 aircraft operating in five different squadrons, totaling more 325,000 flight hours.

About 5,416 flight hours per A29 Super Tucano so far

https://edition.cnn.com/2017/04/12/politics/us-air-force-extends-f-16-lockheed-martin/index.html

(CNN) The US Air Force has decided to extend the service life of its F-16 fighter jet from 8,000 to 12,000 flight hours, a move that will keep the multi-role combat aircraft in the skies beyond 2040 and help fill the service’s short-term need for more aircraft.

https://www.sncorp.com/news-archive/the-a-29-super-tucano-light-attack-multi-mission-aircraft-affordable-combat-capability/

The Super Tucano's attributes of rugged, durable, low maintenance and unprepared surface capabilities, along with its unmatched affordability – just $1,500 per flight hour

The super tucano cost just 1,500 dollars per flight hour compared to 15,000 dollars for A10

First i debunked your statement that the F-35 cannot perform CAS operations,the F-35 is multirole and can effectively perform CAS operations now u are trying to shift the goalpost by posting an article that is saying something different,basically the US doesnt have insurgency issues within their borders so most of the pilots havent been trained on how to use the F-35 for CAS,thats what the article is saying to break it down for you....The owner of something is saying he want to replace A with B you are here crying...go hold am for hand naaa.

You won the argument sir, I am here to learn, the US is considering replacing the A10s because most CAS platforms ( A10, A29 Tucano etc.) cannot survive in high threat environment, so they might use their F35 fighter for CAS instead which have a much higher chance of survival. Though in a lot of articles they said it clearly is not a direct replacement for the A10, and they are still worried that in the future might need a dedicated CAS platform. And the US is definitely considering a turboprop to use too just like us in Nigeria like sir Kabe pointed out tucanos can perform most of the role of the A10 at a much cheaper price in maintaenance and operations.
I never said the F35 cannot perform CAS, almost all fighter jets that can do strike missions can do CAS just may not be as effective as a dedicated CAS platform like A10.

neyobills:
Basically i hate to argue with ITK,s like you,the F-35 is a multirole aircraft i just sent you the screenshot from the USAF themselves,or probably you are the JCOS chairman in the US so u know better right,this is a public forum,try to learn about stuff first before displaying your ignorance,dont let your fingers be faster than whats between your ears.

https://www.sandboxx.us/news/f-35-versus-a-10-showdown-revived-as-new-documents-come-to-light/

“The ability of the F-35 to replace the A-10 has never been demonstrated,” he wrote. “Further, Air Force leaders have yet to take even preliminary steps to prepare their F-35 pilots to perform the most important combat role with which they have been entrusted.”

That’s not how the Air Force sees it, though. Last year, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall called the A-10 “an old aircraft” that was “not survivable against modern threats,” joining the service’s yearslong call for the plane’s retirement. Kendall has since added that the aircraft “doesn’t scare China.”

These statements get to the heart of the greatest tension in defense planning and investment: should services continue to spend on what they know has worked in past conflicts, or pour resources into the tools and systems they believe will serve them well in the future. The F-35 is built for standoff missions against sophisticated near-peer foes; it’s not made to specialize in dogfights or close air support. The war in Ukraine illustrates the challenges of close air support on a modern battlefield where both sides have effective anti-aircraft weapons. Yet critics of the move to retire the A-10s rightly point out that having no direct replacement leaves the U.S. military vulnerable if an operational need for close air support does arise.

The Air Force’s current plan has all A-10s headed to the boneyard by 2029. The newly public flyoff report makes clear that the move leaves many questions unanswered about what will happen when the era of the Warthog ends.

neyobills:
First point is that i never said its multipurpose,i said it will be a game changer in COIN operations,so this your multipurpose of a thing is totally off point,the A-10 still has potentials on long term use in terms on counter offensive operations in conventional wars if literally anything happens as this is 2024 because the A-10 is still a legendary MBT and armored vehicles destroyer.

Take for instance the installation of the S-300 defence system in Niger,by your assumption that Nigeria decides to proceed with the Ecowas intervention what advantage does the 24xM346FA jets and the 12 super Tucanos over a fleet of Warthogs in enemy airspace.

The US military is replacing them by the F-35,and they are doing this not because they have become obsolete,there are debating in congress about whether to donate a few to the Ukraine military and sell the rest,some congressmen want them still in service,some want them sold,so your idea of them been obsolete is far from it.

Oh so u are crying about the sales of the AH-1Z Viper which is at least a generation older than the Warthog now yet you are saying Nigeria doesnt need a much more legendary battle tested alternative....once again dont forget to highlight what advantage does the M346FA and the Super Tucano have over there Warthog

US military replacing A10 with F35? completely different aircraft one meant for air superiority and strike missions, while the other is meant only for close air support. The US Military is not replacing the A10 (at least not with a similar plane) but they are considering using something similar to the tucano for CAS which is much cheaper to operate and maintain. AH1Z (this is the most advanced version which the marines started flying in 2010) is one of the most advanced helicopters currently in the world.
