I always thought the NA could learn from the other insurgencies, like eg Syria. The video of the frontline shows little progress albeit not enough. Our soldiers did have protective gears, few MRAPs but with limited airpower, limited intelligence and 'logistic problems'. Please go read https://peccaviconsulting./2020/02/13/boko-haram-iswaps-christmas-2019-offensive/where with the current defensive 'Super Camp' strategy, the nature of attacks mostly faced by the army when on patrol are ambushes. Apart from equipment, the whole strategy is faulty where the army hierarchy is content with laying back and absorbing attacks while going on patrols which achieve nothing than engaging enemy forces. Its why the army chiefs should be changed, but what do you expect from Buhari who took 6+ months to select his cabinet. 1 Like |

That video suddenly made things clearer than we'd have known. I wish I knew what to say. I hope the army's strategies continues to get refined and learning from their experiences to be ahead of the enemy. |

wingmanIII:Correction taken seeing you can input your height and get BMI results. However, its claims of measuring body fat, bone mass and muscle mass is marketing bs. |
Phones / Re: One Of The Gadgets I Use During Self-lockdown #staysafe by BlackBaron: 10:20am On Mar 27, 2020 |
I stand to be corrected. It cannot definitely give you accurate BMI. Body fat and other readings can not be read on scales. It's no more than a marketing fad from Xiaomi. |

Litmus:Reverse engineering is more difficult than it sounds. Only few countries (US, China, Russia and ~) have successfully reverse engineered 'high tech'. You need to have lots of advanced industries and research institutes at your disposal for a start. Its better to start production under licence, then learn from that. |

I hope in those movies the army is releasing, they're doing subtle products placement of ARA, ATVs and Ezugwu? A bit of soft power showcasing Nigerian built hardware won't go amiss. 1 Like |

Good progress with indigenous hardware by Nigeria. How far is the scope of their current projects? Are they venturing into say developing vehicle mounted systems and such? |

How can you have peace of mind investing in an economy where a governor openly seen collecting bribes, gets a so called anti corruption President holding up his hand, win re-election fraudulently and sacks a traditional ruler because of 'disrespect'?! The courts are also mere caricatures... That's why most lawsuits against the country are being conducted in foreign countries. |

Potential foreign investors that'd see this continuing to happen would shun Nigeria in the future as they cannot be assured of the government's integrity. P&ID, this and others reported are just the ones we know reported. Corruption and lack of protocol when awarding this contracts should mean those responsible should be in jail! |

No. This actually emanates from a time they were having a row on social. Fury taunted Joshua and stated he's more Nigerian than him. Then promised to fly the Nigerian flag when he'd be fighting.

Politics / Re: Sanwoolu Launches Lagos Ferry's Commercial Operations. by BlackBaron: 6:49pm On Feb 04, 2020 |
Quite possibly the story of Lagos state mass transit might have been different if the ruling party hasn't been siphoning funds for the Lagos metro rail with very little to show for it. Boat patronage as mass transit is low in most countries (exception of Australia, Hong Kong). Also there's very little infrastructure on ground to even support it. By the way, let them open up the BRT monopoly given to the nephew of the self styled Lagos ruler. He clearly hasn't got the capacity! |

masseratti:This is a very apt response. Gej was massively supported into power against vested interests until the wheels came lose, especially in the areas of LOOTING and security. I think SR may also be complicit in their reportings sometimes where if you can dig posts and read between the line, you'll find they were mischievous in reportings about someone very close to the top of government (family friend). Buhari was thought to be the better of the an unelectable pair only to recycle himself as a REPRESSIVE leader who takes to literally oppressing us. If they like, let GESTAPO-DSS ala Stasi police come after me too. No shakings. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I don't care if Buhari builds a bridge to heaven. For me, he is a Despotic TYRANT who as I predicted many years ago was only fit to be EFCC chairman. Making him president has got to rank as one of Nigeria's terrible mistake. 19 Likes 4 Shares |

BeachTime:This! I'd sort of come to similar conclusion albeit with lower projections as we have availability of cheap labour. The biggest cost remains the technology to build such infrastructure. I'm yet to see any sort of progressive mindset or brilliance from the Presidents we've had so far in accomplishing a 3rd of this goal. The longer it'll take to achieve these goals the more expensive it becomes!! |

I'm only here to say that we otherwise have a very narrow view of law and regulations in Nigeria. Developed economies are built on laws and regulations. Forget witch hunt, if they find questionable deals, they won't sweep them under the carpet. Many billionaires have been hauled to inquiry, police stations et al. Dangote is the richest African and Nigerian but never been probed regarding grey practices might have done in the past. Otedola was once a subject of probe until it lost steam. Gates, Zuckerberg, Mike etc have seen scrutiny. Bernie Mardoff, Stanford and other billionaires are in prison. If they were Nigerians, they'll be free as a kite. 2 Likes |
