This NEVER DO WELLS just blocked my sim. Why do I have to be inconvenienced as a result of their own NEGLIGENCE? I DETEST them and everything they stand for.

Fun times...

The next generation games are going to be submersive

Henry120:
There is no hope for them!

A number of varying factors which include,

-them not been properly stored,

- the company that sold them to us, no longer in existence

- NAF Jaguars parts, Pocket Pods and serviceable bombs have been taken out and integrated on our Alpha-Jets by NAF engineers.

The Jaguars are a 3 Gen relic that have been retired by Oman, France and all other previous users excerpt India. why do we keep going back to this Jaguar discussion over and over? We should be more concerned with getting newer more capable fighters!

Relics? But I'm sure they still have roles to perform in the NAF. Like the USAF planning on revamping the Warthog. I'd prefer we invested more effort in acquiring better assets whose quality and service life isn't questionable.

NAF OPERATIONAL/MAINTENANCE PICTURES


1st pic is of a decommissioned SEPECAT JAGUAR jet in,being inspected by airforce students.

2nd pic is an operation picture of a GAZELLE helicopter

3rd and 4th pic are NAF engineers/technicians carrying out maintenance and servicing work on NAF C-130 hercules transport plane.

Any hope for the Jaguars?

So, Ekiti, Ondo, Kogi, Gombe, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa etc are in the east?

I think you should scratch Kogi off your list. The coming Gubernatorial election may deal a deathblow to PDP in Kogi... Especially if the current governor is selected as its flag bearer. His reign without bias has been 4 years of outright STAGNATION. My prayer is may no state ever have to bear what Kogites have borne in the past 4 years, and yes that's how bad it had been.
They may have a chance if he's dropped but that'll mean no state machinery to support there ambition which would give APC and advantage. Either way it's a BAD situation they have at hand.
Ask any fair minded Kogite who is in consonance with the affairs of the state, what he'll tell you is "Kogi is FEED up", at this rate the people believe anyone at all would be an improvement to the status qou.
Whichever can guarantee progress in the state and Nigeria is welcome to me.

Agreed that we are not there yet, something must be done.
It is high time we stop blame game in this country, it should be "WHATSOEVER THY HAND FIND TO DO, DO IT WITH ALL THY MIGHT"

why would a government keep doing this "beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"

I understand where you are coming from but I don't want my countrymen reading this and feeling secure when in fact they are not. All that's needed is a determined enemy and our lapses would be exposed. Nigeria must progress.

When WW lll comes up we may not be given the privilege of being non-allined. We should live up to our name. NIGERIA.

I OBJ and other passed leaders had invested in the military like GEJ did we wouldn't have this problem today. So before another regime has to be forced by a prevailing condition like a conventional war, let's be prepared now.
I hope Buhari can deliver where necessary. #never_again #arm_up #go_east

When they say Nigeria Airforce is Zero

Your posts hints to the fact that your somehow affiliated to Beegeagle's Blog... If that's true then I do say you haven't lived up to the set standards.

You're right that we do not have a zero airforce... But the question is "are we were we should be?" obviously not this is a far cry from were we should be. The equipment the airforce operates gives Nigeria a bad. Our boys are trying their best... But we need them well armed.
I wonder what you'd say tomorrow if Chad decided to declare war against Nigeria... The airforce is capable of defending our sovereignty? No sir. Our air security must be stepped up. Anything less is treason.

I find this thread very distasteful and Somewhat annoying... I have only met a handful of people as patriotic as I am let alone more patriotic that I am.
Patriotism however should NEVER blind us to the flaws of our nation lest we fail bitterly.
The acquisition of this birds may be celebrated in some quarters, its all good celebrate but not too long nor loud. Because the truth is we as a nation deserve more... A nation as rich in terms of resources and enemies, and important as Nigeria shouldn't have such a low grade airforce. Armed Super Pumas, Alpha jets, F7s... Good God, they may as well surrender our country in advance to a foreign power.

In the words of a wise man... Oga Beegs. "The time of peace is the best time to prepare for war". And Nigeria is far from ready for a conventional war.

Our biggest flaw is measuring our capabilities with the likes of Cameroon, Ghana, Togo, Mali and Co. I respect these countries but we are simply not in the same security class. Nigeria is a leading African Power House, we should be compared with power houses from other continents.

Our politicians have corrupted and crippled our military with the aid of their cronies.
If we don't realize that WE HAVE FALLEN, we wouldn't see the reason to rise... After all there is no wisdom in fixing what isn't broken.

All said acquisitions should be probbed... Truth is we were reaped off. #Sad reality.

Good Bless Nigeria.

Racism
Nigerians are naturally racist. Yes I said so. I was at Ikoyi some few weeks back and a chinese man stopped by the road side to buy corn. The corn seller was like ''chinko wetin you wan buy''. Similarly, I was at maitama also and I boarded a taxi with an asian man. The Nigerian sitting next to him was like ''ching chong cho''. Looking confused, the asian guy replied him in english what he meant and the Nigerian said ''I just wan tell you sey make you shift for me''.

Education
One thing I like Nigeria for is that they value education a lot. They even go ahead to say education is the best legacy . But remember, 70% of the most successful people in the world today don't even have a degree to their name.

Inferiority complex
If you want to be treated like a God, change your skin color to white and travel all the way to Nigeria. They'll treat you like royalty there.

This two got me laughing... Nigerians are quite hospitable, I plead that the racism charge be dropped on account that it is mostly a misunderstood friendly gesture, same as the inferiority complex issue... Nigerians are simply hospitable... They'll prefer suffering while exempting "guests" from the hassles.

I wish Nairaland was exclusive to a set of people... The once of the enlightened kind.

I just see a bunch of mentally underdeveloped people writing shallow comments demeaning people whose shadows they tremble at. This is indeed SHAMEFUL.

I said it while GEJ was president and people shamelessly called him names like they were his mates. Respect our president, if you've got any beefs, write a letter with your name attached to it and forward it accordingly, or better still carry placards.

God bless Nigeria.

I don't know why some of you find is so hard or even impossible to celebrate a leader without dragging another into the mud. I guess it's a reflection of your persona. #SHAME

The great King is really inspiring, but he made the same mistake other kings of then made. They stood apart and eventually fell. The British intelligently knocked our heads against each other (divide and conquer) till we all fell.

Morale of the story is "be warry of the white man",
"your background has little to do with your future "
" United we stand, divided we fall"


KING JAJA reminds me of my Grand Father PA Agoroma And how grand indeed he was.

For intent purposes I have lifted these significant articles.

This is an article from Wikipedia on the Rwandan Genocide.

The Rwandan Genocide was a genocidal mass slaughter of Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority. During the approximate 100-day period from April 7 to mid-July 1994, an estimated 500,000–1,000,000 Rwandans were killed,[1] constituting as much as 70% of the Tutsi and 20% of Rwanda's total population. The genocide was planned by members of the core political elite known as the akazu, many of whom occupied positions at top levels of the national government. Perpetrators came from the ranks of the Rwandan army, the National Police (gendarmerie), government-backed militias including the Interahamwe and Impuzamugambi, and the Hutu civilian population.

The genocide took place in the context of the Rwandan Civil War, an ongoing conflict beginning in 1990 between the Hutu-led government and the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), which was largely composed of Tutsi refugees whose families had fled to Uganda following earlier waves of Hutu violence against the Tutsi. International pressure on the Hutu-led government of Juvénal Habyarimana resulted in a ceasefire in 1993 with a roadmap to implement the Arusha Accords that would create a power-sharing government with the RPF. This agreement displeased many conservative Hutu, including members of the Akazu, who viewed it as conceding to enemy demands. Among the broader Hutu populace, the RPF military campaign had also intensified support for the so-called "Hutu Power" ideology, which portrayed the RPF as an alien force intent on reinstating the Tutsi monarchy and enslaving Hutus, a prospect met with extreme opposition.

On April 6, 1994, an airplane carrying Habyarimana and Burundian president Cyprien Ntaryamira was shot down on its descent into Kigali, killing all on board. Genocidal killings began the following day: soldiers, police and militia quickly executed key Tutsi and moderate Hutu leaders, then erected checkpoints and barricades and used Rwandans' national identity cards to systematically kill Tutsi. These forces recruited or pressured Hutu civilians to arm themselves with machetes, clubs, blunt objects and other weapons to rape, maim and kill their Tutsi neighbors and to destroy or steal their property. The breach of the peace agreement led the RPF to restart its offensive and rapidly seize control of the northern part of the country before capturing Kigali in mid-July, bringing an end to the genocide. During these events and in their aftermath, the United Nations (UN) and countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Belgium were criticized for their inaction, including failure to strengthen the force and mandate of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) peacekeepers, while observers criticized the government of France for alleged support of the genocidal regime after the genocide had begun.

The genocide had a lasting and profound impact on Rwanda and its neighboring countries. The pervasive use of war rape caused a spike in HIV infection, including babies born of rape to newly infected mothers; many households were headed by orphaned children or widows. The destruction of infrastructure and the severe depopulation of the country crippled the economy, challenging the nascent government to achieve rapid economic growth and stabilization. The RPF military victory and installation of an RPF-dominated government prompted many Hutus to flee to neighboring countries, particularly in the eastern portion of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), where the Hutu genocidaires began to regroup in refugee camps along the border with Rwanda. Declaring a need to avert further genocide, the RPF-led government led military incursions into Zaire, including the First (1996–97) and Second (1998–2003) Congo Wars. Armed struggles between the Rwandan government and their opponents in DRC have continued to play out through proxy militias in the Goma region, including the M23 rebellion (2003–2013). Large Rwandan Hutu and Tutsi populations continue to live as refugees throughout the region.

Today, Rwanda has two public holidays commemorating the genocide. The national commemoration period begins with Genocide Memorial Day on April 7 and concludes with Liberation Day on July 4. The week following April 7 is designated an official week of mourning. The Rwandan Genocide served as the impetus for creating the International Criminal Court to eliminate the need for ad hoc tribunals to prosecute those accused in future incidents of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Here is another article from Concordia
Titled: Rwanda radio transcripts.
The Role of Radio (in the genocide)

During the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, radio broadcasts played an important role in inciting ordinary citizens to take part in the massacres of their Tutsi, and moderate Hutu, neighbours. Two major radio stations transmitted hate propaganda to the illiterate masses--Radio Rwanda, and Radio Télévision des Milles Collines (RTLM). Radio Rwanda was the official government owned radio station. Under the second Arusha Accord it was barred from continuing to disseminate hate propaganda. This led the Hutu Power circle around President Habyarimana and his wife to found RTLM as a private radio station. RTLM became immensely popular as a young, hip alternative to the official voice of the government. It played popular music, and encouraged the public to phone in and participate in radio broadcasts. Amongst its listeners, RTLM attracted the unemployed youth and Interhamwe militia.

From October 1993 to late 1994, RTLM was used by Hutu leaders to advance an extremist Hutu message and anti-Tutsi disinformation, spreading fear of a Tutsi genocide against Hutu, identifying specific Tutsi targets or areas where they could be found, and encouraging the progress of the genocide. In April 1994, Radio Rwanda began to advance a similar message, speaking for the national authorities, issuing directives on how and where to kill Tutsis, and congratulating those who had already taken part.

Radio Muhabura (Radio Beacon) was the official radio of the Rwandan Patriotic Front. The broadcasts of Radio Muhabura did not reach Rwandans all over the country and the logic of its broadcasts was that Rwandans were not divided into Hutu and Tutsi but shared a strong civic national identity. This was in marked contrast to the Hutu Power themes of RTLM’s broadcasts.

Although there were many pleas for the international community to jam the broadcasts of RTLM and Radio Rwanda before and during the genocide, both stations continued to encourage and direct the killing of Tutsis and moderate Hutus until they were forced off the air by the Rwanda Patriotic Front’s military victories.

I remember being young hearing of the deaths, the killings, and starvation. I thought of the senseless in their actions. That was ages ago, but now I see same being instigated in Nigeria.
Radio Biafra might me some adventurous man's idea of bringing justice to his people or perhaps an agent of doom (for all).

My goal is for all to read and get informed. Nigeria is peaceful (at least enough for you to do business and have fun unhindered in most parts of the country), let's not ruin it for ourselves.

All we have is ourselves, when problem starts nobody will come till the most populous black nation in the world is left with a population lower than Togo. For whatever we want, let's get it with wisdom.

Good Bless Nigeria.

The first time i saw two men kissing was in London, specifically at the St James's Park on a cool summer day many years ago. I still remember the shock and revulsion i felt.

I stood transfixed, staring at them for about 5 Minutes and was just turning my head around like AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING this,and then it hit me, i was no longer in Africa and even if i had been living in the US, i was yet to see two men kiss. It was a cultural shock for me to see two men make out.

I hated gays.

Then one day in Church, at a bible study. Somebody asked the pastor that if the Church preaches a lot of things about repentance and acceptance,why then do they still find it hard to accept gays?the pastor's reply was an eye opener.

And then it hit me. Why do i exactly hate gays?they don't bother me, they sleep with each other,they marry each other,they pay their own bills,i don't even know them.

As i grow older, i have learned to be very tolerant of others. I have also learned to mind my business with how others handle their lives, that is why i do not judge married women/men when they cheat in their marriages, i am not in their marriage so don't know what lead to the infidelity.

While i do have my personal reservation about the gay thing, i have come to accept the fact that my feelings will not stop people from being gays, or stop them from loving each other. i have also come to accept the fact that no matter what, there will be others that will have sexual orientation that is different from mine.

In Nigeria, there have been instances where men have been caught making love to goats and chickens. Nairaland even carried some of those pictures.

So what am i saying?people should let other people live their lives the way they deem it fit. what you cannot correct, leave alone.

Your response is quite informative. But the fact is being GAY is more social than biological. It is a social factor. You can't be what you don't know. Ever wondered why the influx in the number of 'homosexuals' in the world today? Our kids are raised with the mind set of either being husbands to wives or wives to husbands and this is what they'll envision to be. The moment you create an extra option, they start to dream of that too.

The orientation we give them largely determines who or what they become. We can argue on liberty, right, Respect, understanding, tolerance and what not. But the fact is, homosexuality is an aberration to nature.

How dare this people who now call
themselves 'refined' and 'world leaders' try to force on us what only approximately half of their population have accepted. We have a right to decide what's good for us and what not.
If they are having problems deciding what to be must we share in the confusion? A key was made for a lock and a lock for a key. Majority aren't always right you know... A while back they thought slavery was good so they practiced it to our detriment and now they have "repented" but that idea was shared by most 'developed' countries of then.

They are the same folks against punishment or beating children for developmental reasons, so now they just scold them and send them to their rooms because they want to be 'good' people. And I ask "How's that working out for them"? Crime rates are higher than ever, the use of drugs are higher than ever, dropout rates higher than ever, and teenage pregnancies are on the rise. Till your kid tells you he/she is GAY, you may not understand.

We can't afford to make easy choices... Those little foxes are real and they do destroy the vine.
Child marriages, extramarital affairs, drug abuse, and those things that brings the worse out of us cannot and should not be accepted simply because a large portion of the population has surrendered to it.

When a man starts having preference for men, we should know something has gone wrong because IT IS NOT NATURAL. So too with men and animals. So if people in the US now start having preference for animals should we accept same?

Ask yourself, if Nigeria passes a law permitting canal knowledge between men and animals, would the US do same? Even if 90% of the population wants it, it should NEVER be permitted. What's bad is bad. Anything less is us compromising on standards.

PS: I love gay PEOPLE but not the gayness in them.
When a man old enough to be called a man starts walking NAKED we call him MAD. The US folks call it Nudism. Soon people would have the right to go NAKED on the streets mark my words. We are different from this folks, we are, and we can't afford to compromise because they have.

OK....my tribe has never had president job.

E no dey concern me...what concerns me is how my governor is doing, and how my LG chairman is doing.

Besides.....what benefit does appointing Ibo man as COAS have? What benefit does appointing Yoruba/Tiv/Hausa/Ebira/Ogoni/Yakurr/Zuru/Jukun have? Is it in how the war is fought...or are you looking for appointment/job/share of cash.

You Nigerians.....all of you....go home and get your governors to work for you. And be thankful the new COAS is from Borno....at least he will take Boko seriously...especially as his hone turf is in the mix.

I honestly stand still to recognize your awesome stance. I hereby doub this the best comment of all time.
Forgive my excitement. But I've been trying to convince people that what really matters is how they are governed at the state, and local level.
My tribe has never produced not even a mister. But unfortunately my Governor isn't a governor.

You have to adapt to the strategies of your enemy. It's pure "art of war" tenants.
If they weren't blinded by religious subjectivity, they'll have seen the wisdom in the move. At least the army hasn't band it's use, that's mutual compromise.
Left to me...for Areas where people fail to comply with the frisk, the soldiers and police officers should either redeploy or look idle in the face of attacks. I am not being insensitive here, I just feel, people who aren't willing to sacrifice part of their religious dictates for their safety are most certainly not worth dying for.
