Soviet Mikhail Kalashnikov was conscripted into the Red Army in 1938 and served as a tank driver when he was injured during the Battle of Bryansk in 1941. During his time at the hospital, he began work on a firearm design specifically to fulfill the requirements to a gun competition being held for the new 7.62x41mm cartridge. Despite losing the competition, Kalashnikov - now part of a team - sought to fulfill a new Soviet Red Army need for an assault weapon chambered to fire the new 7.62x39mm M1943 cartridge. While the war ended in 1945, developments of new automatic weapons continued. The Kalashnikov design (the prototype known as the "AK-46"wink was successfully tested in 1946 and a revised, more reliable form appeared in 1947 for additional testing. The Red Army liked the robust qualities of the new weapon and formally accepted the type as the "AK-47" in 1949 (AK = "Avtomat Kalashnikova"wink
AK-47

When I was a kid growing in my village, Ogidi. AK47 bullets was a common sight when you are walking along the road. Many times we found rusting heavy guns in the bush. Those sights are not common nowadays.

gbanikiti: A Nigerian man who is married to a Kenyan for over 18 years is now being accused of drug dealings? why didnt they find out all these years? why not prosecute him over there in Kenya? I haven't heard of someone caught with drugs and he is deported. NEVER!! The person is made to face charges and probably go to jail. Why should Chinedu's case be different? huh
My sister, thank you jare. It's appaling that Nigerians are blinded by bigotry. Just because Chinedu from Anambra was mentioned, many Nigerians are declaring him guilty as charged. GBAWE, I salute and respect you for approaching this issue with objectivity.
Can someone tell me of any country in the world that deports drug barons? Only bigoted Nigerians will agree with Kenya's account. The issue is that they want to dispossess Chinedu of his properties and investments using false pretense. I challenge the Kenyan authorities to prove that Chinedu is indeed a drug baron in a civilian court of law. Let them jail him if he is guilty as charged.

Abagworo: Lol! I'm surprised you've not noticed a pattern here on Nairaland. I've asked why they are always doing that. Igbos need to make it a death penalty for any Igbo to talk down a fellow Igbo. Or better still the Igbos that see themselves as equal should form a new ethnic group where everyone will have deserved respect.
You should be put to the firing squad for being the leader of talk-down on Anambrarians on this site. Chino, Okija juju and Nri priest will go with you for talking down on Igbos on this site.

PoliticsRe: Enugu Shuns MASSOB Sit-at-home Order by ACM10:
Afam4eva: I'm talking of the people based in the commercial towns of Onitsha, Nnewi and Aba and not people who are from these places. These commercial traders that i'm referring to are Igbo from all parts of Igboland, so i find it strange that you people would think i was referring to people of Anambra origin. There's no gain saying that Enugu is home to more Igbo elites than any other Igbo town, so the response in Enugu won't be as much as in the places that i mentioned previously. Other places with similar idiosyncrasies with Enugu are non-commercial towns such as Awka, Owerri, and Asaba.
It's unfortunate that you subscribed to the age-old stereotype of traders being uneducated or semi-illiterate. Though some traders still falls in that category, but I can tell you that 50% of the traders in Onitsha are highly educated. My friend graduated with second class upper in electrical engineering, but today he is an Onitsha trader who travels to China to buys his goods. By the way, UNESCO defined literacy as ability to read and write. If we use UNESCO definition, then 98% of Onitsha traders should be classified as literate. Mind you that Onitsha is the powerhouse of Anambra education. Onitsha is the reason why Anambra is rated high in Nigeria. They continue to produce unbelievably brilliant students. Ask those that studied in UNN, FUTO, NAUTH, etc about the products of DenGram, CKC, St. Charles, QRC, etc. So, your comment that MASSOB is most active where there is preponderance of semi-illiterate population is regrettable. It should be that they are most active where you have more people with the burning desire for freedom from the cage called Nigeria.

PoliticsRe: Enugu Shuns MASSOB Sit-at-home Order by ACM10: 1:16pm On Jun 09, 2013
Afam4eva: First of all, i don't know why you're naming people from Anambra cos i never said anything about Ndi Anambra being illiterates. I only talked about Enugu town and not it's people. Was Enugu not jointly built by all Igbos with Anambra people even being at the forefront?

There's nothing wrong with calling people to sit at home to mourn Igbos that have been murdered in the North. It's a problem when people are threatened to do so. That's what happens when you have pseudo illiterates running a sensitive group as MASSOB. They should learn to employ diplomacy when doing things. There's a reason why the top echelon of the Igbo society don't associate with Biafra.
By implication you are referring to Onitsha people in Anambra. Cos the sit-at-home directive was well-observed in Onitsha. Stop pretending!
PoliticsRe: Enugu Shuns MASSOB Sit-at-home Order by ACM10: 1:09pm On Jun 09, 2013
Afam4eva: Enugu is always different. If there's one thing i've noticed, it is that MASSOB seems to be dominant anywhere you have a lot of pseudo-illiterate traders.
I'm disappointed with this comment of yours. Seems you are prone to gaffe. Onitsha is the home of the most enlightened Igbos and indeed Nigerians. Think of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Prof. Chike Obi, Philip Emeagwali, Justice Ikpeazu, just to name few. Soon you will start wailing of Anambra superiority complex when Chino stumbles on this comment.

PoliticsRe: A 1988 NY Times Report On Nigeria's Quota System by ACM10: 12:27pm On Jun 09, 2013
Aigbofa: Nice ranting. Not long ago on this forum, I said Ironsi laid the foundation of mediocrity in Nigeria by making Nigeria a unitary state. I was abused by some Igbo here and one of them asked why subsequent administrations did not revert the system back to what it was.
The question is; why would the beneficiaries of Ironsi's action want to change anything. If you are playing a game in which your opponent score an own goal, giving you an advantage,would you ask the referee to revert the score to where it was.
This is why the south is clamoring for restructuring and the north is resistant.
Stop reasoning like a goat by making unnecessary correlations. Unitary schools were established in 1979 by Obasanjo's administration. It is part of the dumb policies of men in khaki. Gen. Ironsi has nothing to do with it. I'm surprised that those in favour of true federalism which allows regions to develop at its own pace will pitch their tent with the backward policies of quota system. If this is not hypocrisy, then hypocrisy has lost its true meaning.

ShyM-X:
Deal with it.

Is GEJ the most qualified person to rule Nigeria? If not for quota system(and giving the SS a chance) - do you honestly think someone as ridiculously dumb as he's should be ruling a country as complex as Nigeria? That's how your country is structured - deal with it, brother.

I don't care about how they choose to lead their lives in that part of the country. If the purpose of unity schools is to unify the country - then they deserve their quota regardless of whatever score they get, period!

If you don't like it - avoid unity schools and look for alternatives. That's the beauty of having options.
Between Jonathan and Obasanjo, who is dumber? Jonathan is well educated(by Nigerian standard), Obsanjo is poorly educated(by any standard). What makes Jonathan dumber than those that came before him?
PoliticsRe: A 1988 NY Times Report On Nigeria's Quota System by ACM10: 11:32am On Jun 09, 2013
ShyM-X:
After reading what Katsumoto and DK posted on another thread about the same topic - I understand why the quota system is necessary in such schools. If the concept of "Unity Schools" was to unify the country by getting kids from different parts of country to attend the same schools - I honestly don't think there's anything wrong in applying quota system a la affirmative action for parts of the Nigeria that are educationally backwards. If you don't apply that; then it defeats the reason why those schools were created in the first place.

There's a similar policy in the UK and America for kids from inner cities. Since most of you believe in Nigeria; you need to stop moaning about everything and help the other side get to your level. That's the spirit of one country and being your brother's keeper.
It is very easy to come to this assumption if you spends all your life oversea and when u did not pass through Nigerian system.
PoliticsRe: A 1988 NY Times Report On Nigeria's Quota System by ACM10:
My question for the supporters of quota system is this; what is the primary aim of establishing a school?

Is it to educate or to achieve unity?

The idea of unity policy/federal character/quota system in all levels of the our country has been defeated.
1. In education, it produced half-baked Nigerians with paper certificates.
2. In government, it entrenched mediocrity, nepotism and magnified corruption a million fold.
3. In NYSC, it produced disillusioned Nigerians who are often target of extremist.

Methinks that the idea of a unity school should be discarded and replaced with a school where students develop at their own pace.

Proponents of this idea points to US Affirmative action. But US Affirmative action policy was designed for the racial complexities in US, not suitable for tribal complexities in Nigeria. Affirmative action rejects the idea of "quota". Finally, it was designed to level up the playing field and not to prop up a group that is backward by its choice.

We may argue ad infinitum in favour of quota system, but the available evidence shows that it favours mediocrity, while meritocracy is sacrificed. We as Nigerians must decide if we are comfortable with mediocrity.

Shall we continue with a failed experiment and expect a different result?
