Much better because, after all, Vodafone (formerly GT) owns the fiber backbone to the internet so all other ISPs (except Glo) pretty much goes through Vodafone.

afam4eva: Their decision to come to Nigeria cannot be far from the fact that despite Nigeria's abysmal failure in leadership, most African countries still see Nigeria as the Giant of Africa.
Giant Azzhole of Africa, that is.
PoliticsRe: South Sudan Begs Nigeria Police For Training by Abrantie: 7:38pm On Aug 21, 2012
ROSSIKE: So why did South Sudan not beg Sierra Leonean police to come and train them?

Or Ghana police? Shebi you people keep saying that Ghana is 100 times better than Nigeria? Why are they not rushing to GHANA to train their police? Why not Guinea, or Mali, or Kenya? Or Ethiopia? Or Uganda?

WHY NIGERIA?

I repeat, we are our own worst enemies because we fail to recognise what we have in this country. Sure the police is not perfect, but in terms of training and ability, very few in Africa can match it.
Because they see Nigeria as an Arab/Al Quaeda/Hausa/Non-Christian/Sahara desert dwelling/nomad/unstable country just like theirs. That means Nigeria's police force would have experience working in such fuvcked up environment.

Bottom line -- Nigeria police is the worst, but that's exactly what South Sudan needs to deal with their stubborn population.

TravelHow Did A Needle End Up In An Air Canada Meal? by Abrantie(op): 4:31pm On Aug 02, 2012
An Air Canada passenger found a sewing needle in a catered sandwich during a flight on Monday. It’s the seventh needle found in an airplane sandwich in three weeks; Delta suffered a rash of similar incidents in July. What sort of security screening does food go through before being sold on planes?

Mainly spot checks. Sky caterers must obtain and periodically renew TSA certification, but the agency has declined to describe in any detail what certification entails. According to airline security analysts, however, caterers inspect a random sample of the foods rolling off the assembly lines for foreign objects, weapons, and explosives. It’s an imperfect process, but it would be prohibitively expensive to hand-check or X-ray each of the hundreds of millions of chicken cutlets and cheese omelets that sky caterers deliver each year. The manufacturers won’t say what proportion of products is checked, and it’s not clear that sky catering supervisors would be able to spot every security threat even if they checked a tainted food item. Terrorist groups have allegedly developed, for example, a patty-shaped plastic explosive that could be difficult to recognize in a fully dressed burger.

In addition to the food spot checks, caterers are supposed to subject their sky chefs to criminal background checks. The screening procedure has its own weaknesses. It can take months to complete a background check, and some companies reportedly allow their employees to work during that time. During high-travel seasons in summer months and around holidays, many caterers hire temporary employees who don’t stay at the company long enough to complete a thorough check.

While security at a sky-catering company has a few gaps, many analysts think the more dangerous gap in airplane food security is at the airport itself. Security procedures for the people who unpack, load, and transport products within the airport vary by location. Airports typically fingerprint their employees and order a 10-year criminal background check, although many airports issue identification badges before getting the results. Airport employees have been fired or arrested well into their tenure after the checks turned up criminal pasts and outstanding warrants. Employees in some airports can enter so-called Security Identification Display Areas simply by flashing a badge or swiping it through a card reader. It wouldn’t be particularly difficult to pass through security with a stolen or borrowed badge, according to security consultants.

Catered meals are packed into cargo containers with a security seal to ensure that they aren’t tampered with between the time they leave the manufacturer and the moment they’re loaded onto a plane. A whistle-blower at a major sky caterer, however, shot video last year showing that unsealed containers often sit unsealed on the docks before loading.

Flight crews can provide a backstop for security breaches, but only if they know what they’re looking for. Following the series of needle sandwiches earlier this summer, Delta alerted its employees and says they were able to identify several of the problem food trays before serving them to passengers.

TravelBaarle-hertog: The Town That Got Scrambled by Abrantie(op): 12:18am On Jul 27, 2012
https://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/3739428.jpg


Welcome to the town of Baarle-Hertog, an ordinary town in Belgium, except that it's also in the Netherlands, and if you lived there, you might very well not know what country you're in at any one time. Here's a map:

https://farm4.static.flickr.com/3127/2672904938_82250219df_o.jpg

It looks like somebody dropped the town and it shattered.



The city is split between the Netherlands and Belgium in 24 separate divisions of land, some no larger than a Little League baseball field. This madness came about back in the Middle Ages, when feudal lords would gamble with chunks of their land instead of money. Today, having international borders running rampant through the streets like this has led to some quirky situations where the border will run straight through houses or buildings that have been built since. Or, through the dining area of a cafe:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Baarle-Nassau_fronti%C3%A8re_caf%C3%A9.jpg/800px-Baarle-Nassau_fronti%C3%A8re_caf%C3%A9.jpg

"Hey, you spilled your coffee." "Screw it, it's Belgium's problem now."



Some have even taken advantage of the screwy legal situation this presents. Like when Dutch laws required restaurants to close at a certain time, restaurants on the border would simply move their patrons to the Belgian side.

Then there's one story about a bank that had an ingenious method for money laundering -- Dutch authorities knew they were doing something criminal, but couldn't get to the vault since, even though the entrance was in the Netherlands, the vault was in Belgium. But likewise, Belgian authorities couldn't enter the entrance because it was in the Netherlands. So they both had to sit idly by and watch it happen, until someone had the amazing idea that the two nations should work together to make the bust. Now that's thinking outside the box.

[size=14pt]Lord Lugard's Analysis of Nigerians[/size]

By Lord Lugard:


""In character and temperament" wrote Lord Lugard, "the typical African of this race-type is a happy,
thriftless, excitable person. Lacking in self control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewelry. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future, or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than the that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the State he has reached. Through the ages the African appears to have evolved no organized religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural"

He lacks the power of organization, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility ....he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal -an instinct rather than a moral virtue......In brief, the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy.......Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his ability to visualize the future"
