The greatest defeat for PDP and supporters will be moral. The economy will grow with less, diversified, good HDI. Then people will ask their heroes very honest question
The last time Atiku was given responsibility in government, his boss was travelling abroad looking for investments. Atiku was privatizing government properties to himself. When your boss (OBJ) and your subordinate (El Rufai) say you are bad, only a psychologically afflicted Youth could still defend you.
Why do young supporters of Jonathan forgive these clueless statements from Jonathan? The man disappoints and disillusion them and they swallow it out of emptiness and cowardice. It is very SAD.
actually i was grinning like hell when i read the comments
especially the downgraded aircraft's part - it reminded me of ' when u dig a pit for others to fall, u will definitely end up in it '
and also the su35 radar part
even simplistically speaking which aircraft's nose cone is bigger ( internal volume )
and the SWaP constraints of both the radar systems on each of the aircraft's in question (inclusive of no of T/R modules, cooling system and backend processors)
and then retrospectively the implication on range and performance parameters of both the radar systems
how difficult is it to counter such claims on simple technicalities
It is not accurate to judge good radar by range alone and to shallowly extend the idea that aircraft nose cone size is directly proportional to range of detection. Half of the work is in signal processing and optimization of resources between scanning, tracking and aiming. And yes Sudan is not getting top of the line stuff.
bakaredc: I agree with you 100%, Buhari wont win any state in the south east or even south south, just like the last election, and I can also assure you that should Buhari remain the APC candidate, Atiku cant win any single northern state even Adamawa his home state. The battleline for 2019 election is the south West, Ordinarily you will expect that the south west will vote for an Osinbajo, but south west electorates know better and permit me to say are "probably" the only part of Nigeria( with all due respect to the others) where they don't vote based on sentiments but Reasoning,
Ebonyi and Imo for Buhari already. Cross River too. All SW states including Ekiti. As a candidate without patronage dispensing ability, Buhari was controlling 12million votes..now he is President. Where you guys on social media get stupid notions based on wishful thinking mystifies me. Atiku always had caucus power deriving from Yaradua not himself bit things have changed since 1999.
SupremeCourt: NAF defends itself with only f-7 till jf-17 arrival 2018. I think NAF put eyes on cheap $50 million mig-29M2 that Egypt got this year, but now if Sudan news of su-35 is true, NAF will worry about 3,000KM range stealthy jet armed Sudan just 1,000KM away from Nigeria, it can flyover Chad, enter Nigeria, do damage, go back with same fuel tank. I think NAF may change choice from mig-29M2 to the stealthy mig-35 to checkmate a nearby country posing with su-35. Only mig-35 can stop su-35 in Africa apart from Rafale. I hope arms race is not starting, Senegal's navy is negotiating for small fast attack ships with antiship missiles in our Gulf of Guinea, Senegal has found $2 billion gas field offshore and wants to build muscle to guard their golden water. Nobody wants to be pushed robbed like mumu nowadays.
My friend, JF17 versions NAF will own would have MIG 29 type engines, refuelling capability and a radar at par/ better than SU 35. Getting to Sudan is refuelling over Maiduguri and meeting the aircraft's on the way back.
There are so many factors to capability that you should not be shallow or mechanistic in thinking. Gadhaffi's Libya and Saddam's Iraq were examples of countries with loads of hardware and low capability. Iran, UAE, Nigeria and Jordan are examples of countries starting to emphasize acquisition of holistic capabilities instead of mindless buying of weapons that makes you prey to scams from developed countries.
quiverfull: Nigerians have gotten to the point that all these revelations of huge sums of money being looted does not move them anymore.
It will MOVE some people. It will MOVE them from freedom to prison. That is all that matters and revenue targets are already set for MDAs...they will achieve it. NAP and NRC alone can make $8bn for FG
Coup against President Elect Buhari? People would have seen the kind of trouble and confusion that would have caused unbelievable crisis. Please don't even go there. Unfortunately the man would have won and gained yet unseen amounts of popularity.
bidexiii: these was the only recent video BHT released; 10 days ago.
the video shows an ambushed that shows dead soldiers, other fleeing and abandoning two toyota hilux, one okota APC. and at the end of the vido shows BH captured vickers MbT in action against our own troops. it wasn't a T72 mbt, our journalist cant differentiate military hardware and there too lazy to make research.
Okay. I now believe Boko Haram is being heavily defeated. I counted just three dead soldiers. Camera angles and use of amateur animations prove they are getting short on propaganda materials. About four repeated scenes of a single battle on the same road. They showed a scorpion tank being towed and an MBT of Unknown date of capture. Indeed there are too many clips spliced it is not easy to determine the age of sub footages
I am sorry for Rivers State. Mark my words God is not mocked. The state that has churches like Salvation ministries should not be permitting this. The Ateke guy is a ritualist. He was sacrificing babies regularly to demonic entities to save his own cowardly neck. When you celebrate these trash you are inviting curses.
Baawaa: So it is true that Jona-dull is fucking these thieves called ministers,thank God that Jona-dull was boot-out he might hand over to one of these harlots called ministers
There was nothing in this story about the former President having affairs with other women in what Stella Oduah has said. It is inferior Nigerian education and low mind that is worrying you.
Fidha254: If egypt ever ends up in a conflict with ethiopia, the rest of the nile basin countries including Uganda,Kenya,Tanzania will most likely provide moral and/or material support to Ethiopia... Which by extension will mean the rest of Africa will be on the side of re-negotiating the nile treaty one way or the other... Kenya back in 2003 through parliament stoped recognising the nile treaty, Uganda too, the rest of the nile basin countries did the same...
If foreign powers were to actively support Egypt (to uphold a treaty signed during colonial period, this would rekindle old resentment -it would be like they are still trying to colonise us) this would lead to a wider backlash from the continent which would probably mean those foreign powers will have to choose between Egypt and the rest of Africa
The Nile is a black African river with headwaters in Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania. God made those waters find the sea through a pathway we now call Nile River
FarahAideed: Buhari is not a good leader PERIOD !!!! His thought process is very shallow and can only cause more problems for hardworking people like me ..I know what his bad leadership has caused 3 of my start ups that were doing very very well before he came .
LIES. Maybe Buhari actually has too much depth. When you have depth you tackle problems from the roots instead of patching.
You are a shallow business man that is why your start-ups failed. You lacked depth and a risk management plan and because you guys are born to feed from the bottle of patronage, the brains don't work and you feel entitled. There are many 'blank' fools in suits running around telling themselves there are going places but they are not adding value and since the reward systems of Nigeria is changing, they will knock engines.I know thousands of farmers and small scale industrialists who are now smilling. Exchange rate has grown, people now have to pay taxes. We have to reskill youths and stop value leakage - the average family loses 1/3 of income to roadside mechanics alone. The country was just STUPID.
FarahAideed: This is not enough reason to re elect Buhari again, Buhari is too dull and shallow to make any impact on the economy of Nigeria abeg.
"Economy of Nigeria". Do you know what it means?. I am sorry they have sold you already. You want to know about economy ?. Work hard, save, study, innovate, take calculated risks in business. This stupid " too dull for the economy" is the half educated, Nigerian bred, yahoo yahoo self delusion that there is magic wand aside from these five things. Maybe ifvyou have ever lived or worked in an advanced country you will have small sense. I am so sorry for young people in Nigeria. They will hear it.
Manned non-stealth nuclear bombers is a stupid move and waste of funds. Russia is not thinking right. Most central europe nations can even shoot down these planes before they leave Russia using mobile patriot missile systems.
There is a direction technology is going and Putin himself got it right.
lonecatt: Is it not the same you that said they are 5% or is it my eyes that is deceiving me. abi you are just realizing that Igbo is Nigeria and Nigeria is Igbo.
So I searched everywhere for where Buhari called Ibos 5%. I am still searching with faith. I know when Kanu shows face I will see it
