33 million people live in poverty in Nigeria, not over 100 million

World Bank Cuts Nigeria's Poverty Rate to 33.1%, Says North is Poorer

Quote:
Predicts 7.4% growth in 2014
James Emejo

The World Bank Tuesday said there had been positive economic trend as well as significant progress made towards poverty eradication in the country.

It said in its second edition of the Nigeria Economic Report (NER) which was launched in Abuja that going by the recent rebasing of the economy as well as analysis from the new General Household Surveys (GHS) conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) with the support of the Bank, new poverty estimates in 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 should be within the range of 35.2 per cent and 33.1 per cent respectively.

Three reasons South Africa will fail.

09 August 2012, 10:52
Ex British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once said anybody who thought the ANC could govern country was living in cloud-cuckoo-land. Could anybody, at the time she said it, have imagined that nobody would deliver a more vivid demonstration of her claim, than the ANC itself.

In fact, delivering an account of the ANC’s failures, in as little as seventeen years, will likely take as many years – for not a day passes that South Africans are not bombarded with reams of inanities, clearly depicting the state-of-disaster South Africa has become, under the ANC’s governance.

Indeed, I herewith challenge anybody to name anything-, even if it is just one item of success that can be directly contributed to the ANC government – for if you can actually find something, you will be presented with thousands of failures in return. Where else, in the known universe, would such an entity remain in government..? Oops, I forgot.., Zimbabwe...

In passing: let me remind you, the ANC had little to do with the 2010 Soccer World Cup – it was managed from Europe; Sepp Blatter (a Swiss national) simply seized South Africa for a month. The Gautrain was conceived and designed in Europe. The SKA is simply foreign technology in a remote place and so on.

Sport in South Africa survives, not because of the ANC, but despite the ANC. Since 1994, South Africa has only performed in a sustainable manner, in water-sports, golf and rugby.


What do we learn here, even World Cup technology was imported from Europe. Watch them scream again for citations, proofs and source.

on the Nigerian economy. The Nigerian economy was all ways this strong. Nothing has changed other than it was rebased. This strong Nigerian GDP has done nothing for Nigeria since SA's revue and budget still dwarf the Nigerians.

You can read better than us? Yet..you are still officially dumbest people on the planet? How so? You can apparently read better than us but you are only using your so called superior reading skills to find jobs working as house maids and farm workers for the whites. You might as well just lie down instead.

As for our stats, if you took the Muslim Northerners out of those stats it would all change.
It more do with the fact so many nigerians have zero educastion at all.

Anyway...This woman is not black in any way shape or form. I know in SA they are so f00lish they even consider Indians and Chinese people black, so i dont know what is going on in your mind..but in my mind she is Chinese.

Also you say Soweto is not a shanty town? ok.. You see yourself and your mudda riding bicycles through Soweto looking for drugs..

I also found a picture of the real "camp gay" while looking for Soweto on Google, you cannot fool me with your lies.

I never said she was was black. She is colloured who like indians have there own group in SA

- Camps bay? What is that a gay resort? Only in South Africa..
- Where is Drakensburg? Is that in Germany?
- Is the Blyde river canyon somewhere in Scotland?
- Yes you have plenty gold and platinum yet the large majority of blacks still live in dirty shanty towns like Soweto, so why are you boasting about it for?
- Also yes you may have a higher Per capita income but the black majority don't.

Why don't you boast about the fact SA is the number one crime, murder and r@pe capital in the world year after, year after, year?

No, you do not know anything about MANPADS.

The Hinds were brought down by Manpads used by the mujahedeen. If the tables were turned the casualty rate of Apaches would be the same.

The Hind can hover just as well as another helicopter.

Your paltry 10 90% french helicopters won't be able to stand Manpads either.
Hind strugels to hover when carrying a full combat load.

What went wrong?
So, what might have gone wrong in the case of the Sunday crash? Was it bad weather? The “Shaitan Arba” (Satan’s Chariot)” as the Afghan rebels called the MI-24 has been disadvantaged most by its limited deployment capabilities in terms of time of day and weather conditions.
Army spokesperson Felix Kulayigye told Daily Monitor on Tuesday that “We are aware that it was the weather that brought problems, nothing else!” 

A report by the Russian pilots, who used the Mi-24 during the Afghan war, say inadequate on-board navigation systems and poor radar, limited the use of the helicopter in adverse weather and at night.

According to Russian battle reports, technical shortcomings of on-board radar and navigation forced the Russians to employ MI-24 helicopters mostly during the day and fair weather when visibility exceeded 1.5 kilometers and pilots could get a clear look at their targets. Col. Gen. Pavlov, the commander of Russian Army Aviation, says these rules meant that 95 per cent of days in February 1995 were listed as “non-flying days.”

The US Centennial of Flight Commission, points in documents that cockpit visibility for the early Hinds was extremely bad, forcing Mil to redesign the cockpit so both the pilot and WSO sat under individual bubble canopies.

This gave the Hind a prehistoric appearance. Over the next several years, more modifications were made, such as replacing the nose-mounted machine gun with a cannon and adding sensors. Still, by Western standards, the Hind has a poor set of navigation and electronics instruments.

The Americans narrate that during one incident in the early 1980s, an American AH-1G Cobra was flying along the East German border when a Hind was ordered to intercept it. The two helicopters played a game of chase along the border, with the US pilot constantly pulling into a sharp climb to force his faster opponent to overshoot him.

Eventually the Hind pilot pulled back too hard and his aircraft started to tumble. He pushed his aircraft into a dive in order to recover, with the intention of pulling back sharply before hitting the ground. When he pulled back hard on his stick, the main rotor blades struck the tail-boom of the Hind and the helicopter crashed, killing all aboard. This problem—the Hind’s tendency to damage itself catastrophically when the rotors hit the tail-boom—has long plagued the aircraft.

Was it high Altitude?
It was in Afghanistan, where the MI-24 became most notable. Much of Afghanistan is a mountainous desert, and the helicopter was the best means of putting troops into rebel Mujaheddin controlled areas. Hinds often rode shotgun to provide support or were later used to attack ground targets.
Given their successful operations in high altitude areas in Afghanistan, some aviation experts dispel the notion that the helicopters that were flying in sequence over Mt. Kenya could have crashed due to high altitude.

However while the planes fly up to an altitude of 5,000 meters, Mt. Kenya, Africa’s second highest mountain, stands at 5,199 meters above sea-level. This means that an Mi-24 pilot cannot fly over the mountain and would have to go round it, according to Kenya Aviation website. The website goes on to say the helicopter that arrived in Garissa, MI-17, can reportedly fly as high as 6,000 metres.

Unforgiving
According to Dwayne Allen Day, a senior programme officer for the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board of National Academy of Sciences, the MI-24 is not easily maneuverable, making it a problem when flying at high speed close to the ground. “The Hind is a difficult and unforgiving helicopter to fly. Unless a pilot is very careful, he can cause it to fly out of control or cause the rotors to collide with the tail-boom,” writes Dwayne in the US Centennial of Flight Commission.

“Although the Hind is fast, it is not very maneuverable, and this is a problem when flying at high speed close to the ground. In addition, a fully loaded Hind cannot hover and has to make a rolling take off. The Hind’s performance suffered in the hot, thin air of Afghanistan,” he added.
