Foreign Affairs › Re: Russian Strikes Chokes Ukraine's Economy, Shuts Down Steel Production (Photo) by Akalia(m):
Till date I wonder what Zelensky is seeking to achieve by carrying out unnecessary incessant attacks on Russian assets and in return provoking a Russian retaliation.

Russia is not even very determined to finish off Ukraine, Russia is laid back in this war.
If Zelensky is wise he would exploit any opportunity to negotiate directly with Putin to end the war.
Of course compriomises would be made by both sides but Putin must definitely have the upper hand. Zelensky should swallow his pride, come on Zelensky.

Because election is around the corner. This is clearly an incentive to carjole people into voting for APC. Please Nigerians be wise, this is manipulative.
Take their Trojan largesse but vote against them(APC) gomme next year. Make a fool out of them.

Get charcoal plus carbon rods from dead disposed torchlight batteries.

Grind into powder mixture then add some water to form paste.

Apply first coating on the blackboard , leave to dry then apply second and third final coat. Leave overnight or preferably over the weekend.

Your original blackboard is ready soon as it properly dries up.
Guy you really passed through school. I know your type attended a public school.

Personally, I can't be this selfish, insensitive,short sighted, foolish and callous because of transient position of authority and power.
Tomorrow when another ruling party clinches the presidency the likes of Kalu and all the APC stooges in power would dance to music of commoners.

You must be out of your mind and very insensitive to have such an opinion. Everyone is not like you that is always self-centered. People like you don't understand selflessness.

He should rather in a jiffy share how he made it big from nothing, that would be more inspiring and make an ideal grass to grace success story.

If they like. They should remove the entire bill board. The south will do its rightful 8 years!

😁😁😁😁
There is no law in the Nigeria constitution that says presidency is by rotation amongst the 6 geopolitical zones.
Your narrative is just a tribalistic sentimental gibberish. Objective Nigerians don't buy it.

Career › Re: How Do You Cope With A Company That Owes Salary? by Akalia(m): 3:00pm On Oct 28
DenreleDave:
Dear Nairalanders,

Have you ever had any experience working with a company thay owes salary for as much as 2 to 4 months?

If Yes, how did you scale through this issue pending when you are applying for other options?

To be sincere, this is my first experience and I must confess, it is affecting my mental health. I have never been known to borrow money but since I started working for this company, I have been borrowing to feed even as begging for data.....

Worst still, this happened to me when I have just rented a new apartment and I am basically exhausted.

Kindly share tips on how you basically survive this kind of experience especially when another job is yet to come.
Is the pay good? Is it an indigenous company, foreign, or multinational?

FSBoperator:
The wheel in this case is the Stg-44 which made the rapid improvement of firepower for every infantry rifle man.

The Stg-44 is the wheel

Every other semi automatic rifle is just borrowing and improving on its design.
Stg-44 is the wheel and also the first ever made assault rifle in this context. Other assault rifles that were built more advanced after STG 44 , though they were inspired by the assault rifle concept demonstrated by the the STG design-is my testament that the wheel can be modified.

No other gunsmith or inventor ever spent precious time and resources to re-make the STG that was already invented and in use but rather they copied the assault riffle concept of the STG 44 (the wheel) and modified the concept.

Bro if you don't understand my drift up to this stage of argument, please let's end the argument at this juncture. I am a freethinker, call me maverick if you like, I am typical outside the box thinker.

Have a nice day ahead.

FSBoperator:
You don't reinvent the wheel.

If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it.

And as per the German Stg-44 , it was what gave German infantry forces an edge in the battlefields.

WW2 allied Generals found out quickly that it required a force ratio of 10 Russians to every one German infantry to have an equalising balance. The Americans needed 4 men for every German infantry man while the Brits needed 2 for every one German infantry.

It is this weapon that made the battlefield skewed heavily to German forces just as the German Panza tank could easily take out 3-4 American tanks.
The wheel can be modified to be applied for other purposes, that is not re-inventing the wheel.
Now imagine if other inventors of assault rifles did not do such an ingenious work by making assault rifles more advanced than the German STG even though the STG was a big inspiration; imagine if the German STG was the only assault rifle in existence today.
Imagine if the first ever built car model is still in use today and there is no advancement in car technology. Imagine if the first aircraft model built by the wright brother is still in use today because there is no advancement in aircraft technology. Get my drift?

The German STG is no longer useful to a modem infantry because it lacks the capacity to perform by all modern standards of an assault rifle.

Even the AK-47 that was built in 1946/1947 still proves to be relevant till date but the German STG built 3 years before is now considered obselete.

Yes, you don't re-invent the wheel but you can modify the wheel. Yes, you don't try to fix something, if it's not broken but you can also upgrade to modernize.

The AK design was stolen from the German WW2 StG,-44 semi automatic rifle that was introduced into service as early as 1943.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StG_44
No doubt but the AK-47 beat its German inspiration by all indices used to rate the performance of an assault rifle.

My point is, if you are gonna copy something try to improve upon the copy.
Science/Technology › Re: DG-103: Nigeria's Indigenous Assault Rifle by Akalia(m): 8:29am On Oct 28
Simply say it's an AK-47 variant or type model of AK-47. Commendable.

I am Rapmoney aka WarriParrot
OP you are damn right. That's why I hurriedly bought a Nigerian used 2001 Toyota.

The car is in over 50% good shape. Small small I go dey fix everything in it that needs fixing.

When my wife was sick and was admitted at the hospital, that car made movement to and fro the hospital easy for me. It also saved me cost of chartering transportation each day.

Owning a car is a convenient necessity, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Politics › Re: Umahi Was Removed From The Microphone Mid-Speech At APC Rally by Akalia(m): 2:08pm On Oct 27
If I were Umahi I wouldn't had mixed politics with ministerial duties.

Now he is very unpopular in the southeast and also not considered a member in the political block that he restlessly seeks their validation and acceptance.

It's a shame!!

Kudos the NAF leadership.
Politics › Re: Remi Tinubu Popping What Appears To Be Pills Into Tinubu’s Mouth - Sowore by Akalia(m): 6:50pm On Oct 25
Honestly I feel for Tinubu. Why is he clinging to power at the expense of his ailing health.

People surrounding him including his own dear wife and son do not love him enough to advice him to retire.

They are using him like a workhorse. Not fair.

Anybody on Nairaland that is not comfortable with Tinubu second term after swearing in should drink Poison and just die.

Mods , I know you will delete this message but when they abuse president you are happy to post it.

It shall not be well with you Mods for being one sided
The crumbs falling down Tinubu's table of corruption and leadership ineptitude of which you eat would seize
the day Tinubu seizes to be president.

You will return to the majority of the masses that will oppose the successive regime because of hunger. No worry na turn by turn.
You too go lament and wail in successive regimes.

They are not useless, they can't display the level of performance they are not on. The Algerian team is on a higher level of predictable performance.

Our football science in Nigeria is not modern yet. Our teams lack the capacity to rise to the occasion when it matters the most.

We are not yet civilized to come to that level where insurance becomes a neccesity. Lack of trusts giving how most insurance companies do operate is a factor to consider too.
