9 years ago... 2008.

I know unrelated, but can Mr Muazu furnish us with the bank loan statements or can we also speculate it was built with money from Nigeria coffers.

While you all huff and puff at yourselves,
I'm curious to know about the fitness tests needed to join the special forces for some of the African SF groups posted here.

Example, 1.5 mile runs in 8/9 mins.

This guy speaks like a friend of mine from the north (an elite) who also acknowledges and speaks out about backward attitudes that limits development in the North.
In all, all tribes have their own faults, we can learn from each other while burying values that are incompatible with development.

As we all know ,this is the season for planting and cultivating. I decided to cultivate this year,going there today to clear;this what I killed.

How tall are you?

That's surely one of the biggest ever. Must be up to 6 - 7 feet long!

Wow... Though knowing Nigeria, you'll be hard pressed for more information about its specs and so.
They are primarily good for sandy, beaches or desert regions than road.

Seeing the military version, it looks like the top speced versions available.
Has the side compartments too for extra hardwares; ammo boxes, water, etc
The passenger side on the right, an extra armament of either grenade launchers or an HMG would do.

Other countries classify them as fast attack vehicles or desert patrol vehicles. Good for recce or attacking small outposts.

I mean the transaction (pay on delivery) happens inside or in front of the post office. And post offices still exist well in Nigeria, I have a P.O Box and I go to the post office at least once a week.

You'll have a company and you'll entrust 'Nigerian post office' to safely keep and restitute customer proceeds back to you? Even delivery men abscond sometimes. Do you know even after successful deliveries, some are waiting to waylay the cash with the courier?

Implement robust policies on returns and or exchanges, then streamline the ecommerce terms which if retailera flout, can be found wanting or shamed.

Citizens of developed countries also have apprehension on buying items online viz a viz quality, description, etc. They however have statutory ts and cs to sort out problems.

This can be solved if statutory rights are taken seriously in Nigeria. This would cover refunds, returns and defects on items.
Unless you're a retailer you wouldn't understand how disadvantageous payment on delivery is.

Losing upwards of 80 grand in a month on a single product line alone due to pod (theft, robbery,etc) is no child's play. It's worst when you have no insurance policy to cover you. That's not taking into account other issues with unserious customers who disappear after sending their items from Lagos to obudu cattle ranch. They'll refuse to pick up their phones or tell you they travelled!

Final push Video showing maneuvers, also footage of NA tanks, dune buggys and troops.
Not behind my desk, would have done more screenshots

This is not a very decent cause in my opinion.
America already has one of the biggest gun deaths in the developed world.
Massachusetts is probably the only outlier in the gun violence stakes in the US due to tough gun laws.

In general, American deaths per year are 3 times the death rates for countries already developed.

Note gun deaths also includes suicide, violence, mishandling, etc. It's no wonder, death can visit them faster than a bullet train takes to reach its destination.

Still sad that for us to feel safe, we got to lock ourselves in like its a maximum security prison.

Henry240:
....

If anyone went to a military school in Nigeria, you'll know those flags.
From the flags on display
I see Tiger, Flying Horse, etc.
The other names were dragon, octopus and scorpion

Moneyyy:
Yes his adoptive father is from Bateke which then makes him from Bateke but that doesn't change his Igbo heritage and Biafran birthplace

Hmmn... I didn't know that about his history but ok.

Correction:

Mr Ondimba is from the Bateke ethnic group of Gabon.

If true or not, I'm only disappointed we seem to have those languishing at the bottom of classes as our leaders.

naijaking1:
Nonsense explanation. Which other muslim fanatical tribe has Ajao as last name?

I can surely not be blamed for your terribly limited education and low iq.

What part of he has no links or even origin with Nigeria can't be understood. His step father only had to adopt him after marrying his mum who had previously bore Mr Khalid for another man, a non Nigerian.

His mum is non Nigerian and she had him before marrying his step father (a Nigerian) whose name he later adopted.

gypsey:
please don't blame the UK prison, I have been in the UK prison numerous times, but I did not become like this guy. these people have or had a choice .

Quite understandable, but you can not discount this fact that people get radicalised in prison. A significant number.

There's something seriously wrong about the UK prison system then...quite a few black British guys due to their disadvantages and peer pressure stupidly tow the path of road life. Eventually, a few advance to the level of criminality and get sent to jail where they become indoctrinated and converted.

However, he is as British as Dele Alli of Tottenham in that he was probably more British in all aspects than Nigerian.

That boko flag should be turned upside-down though ^^

2 types of bullet proof vests are available.

Soft body armour - like worn by some police. Features fabrics like kevlar.

Hard body armour - as worn by the army. Features ballistic plates and heavier.

The product as illustrated is more a tactical vest with pouches which still useful, can be used for holding cannisters or even mags if the wearer prefers no protection.
It'll be a good idea if they could make ammo pouches or webbings as that's an area sorely lacking in some of the dicon produced variants.

Local extortion racketeering boss...
Proudly sponsored by Mr T and the only ruling party in Lagos and so since...

In the past 15 years, another country like Egypt managed to add 10000MW to their national grid.

Nigeria has unfortunately struggled to continue to offer meagre returns on generation of power despite expending billions of dollars and still continuing.

deflover:
My advice to you
Keep buying the dollar for keeps
Keep your bulk money in dollars
The trip to hell is about to get nasty
God save our soul

You have analysed correctly (without giving solutions) However, you're now exacerbating the whole issue by spreading panic buying and spelling doomsday before its arrived.

Some Solution may be ;

If the government can back it up by supporting or seeking trade deals for local exports (which is not done yet) then it's likely it could gradually replace to some extent our foreign exchange needs. At the same time, supporting or incentives to local business who can process raw materials for industries would be helpful.

Not supporting or having the essential infrastructures affects industries for raw materials who simply can not operate or run to meet demand.

The others that depends on these raw materials are then the ones who have to seek alternatives by importing raw materials from abroad keeping pressure on the naira.

The truth is our middle class is not yet 'wealthy enough'. The market is still a long way matching few other countries who can purchase hundreds of thousands of cars quarterly.

However, Mr Innoson can choose to aggressively pitch to the others who do actually buy new. He does have competition though and so better sit up.

lionel4power:
why you cant have joint R& D with your neighbors is because when the shooting war starts you both will be holding the same bucket of equipment and you wouldn't know what to do with it.

for example imagine two similar T-72 MBT engaging each other what do you think the outcome will be like.

It's time to grow up though. Petty bunch of Africans I see it as.
Britain isn't posturing to Germany nor France and trying to show themselves bigger militarily. Two of the countries above also have the biggest economies in Europe. A looser form of defence cooperation is done via ECOWAS.(Their collective efforts put paid to Gambia) However, it stops short of deeper ties that could make them stronger by way of development and extra bits.

Anyway, it's why I said if we had decent 'heads'

Easier to blacklist the phones across all networks. Surely that's common sense. Only Nigeria just defies belief with some non existent policies.

Off topic.

Instead of the constant attempts to outbuy neighbours or the constant mud fights about whose **** is bigger and 'badder'in military terms.

Assuming we had enough decent heads in charge on the continent, why can't we just have joint arms research programmes to reduce costs of weapon development.

Many costly lessons (conflicts) on the continent have come, gone and still continuing, rather we remain stagnant to solving unique problems until the cycle kicks off again.

Funny I was going to bring it up in one of the military threads. Looks like an implosion as it's amazing the windscreen and surrounding areas got relatively unscathed.

It implies any window of opportunity to assassinate terrorists can now be taken without fear of possible collateral damage.
Many opportunities in the past to kill wanted terrorists like Osama, Zarqawi and co got suspended due to collateral damage.

The most obvious thing to every Nigerian of course.

Others political office holders equally left office richer than the coffers of the constituents they governed.

What we should be looking is how to hold them to accountability other than a meaningless update on paper of how some looted the country's wealth.

Earphones or headphones...?

Sennheiser, Ultimate ears, Sony nc series and Soundmagic.
Solid pieces for their price range

Impressive bringing another concept to reality, Despite limiting factors. Looks really suited for its role perhaps with little to nought additions.

Meanwhile, I had been looking up the concept of tanks especially the Merkeva Mark 4 of how it was built with feedback from tank crews from past engagements.

Subtle additions like 2-3 hmg for infantry engagement or suppression, sloped turret and ability to increase or decrease suspension is what they came up with.

If say Proforce are apparently building a tank, are they using a rigid design or is it also based on input from our tank crews in the North East?

BH in Africa is deeper than poverty. It's still down to misinterpretation or overzealousness of religion.
Saudi, the chief exporter of terrorists cadres and ideology is the one of the most prosperous countries on the planet. So even if we managed to become richer and wiser, it's still very likely some would still hold on to warped views and continue to cause havoc. It's not rocket science rather its the misinterpretation of religion. Nigeria's south is not exactly a bastion of wealth, so why are the muslims down south incidentally poor not also forming terrorists units.



Pictures are throwback to Nigerian troops during the world wars. A contribution little acknowledged outside of Africa.
