I'd like to make another suggestion.
3D printed Prosthetic hands are available from the openhands project. Very inexpensive compared to others.

He'll be able to gain some functionality and make almost full use of all fingers.

Probably the worst governor ever...after the widely derided Theodore Orji

Y,all keep on fighting like this.

It's the reason slave traders could exploit and cart away some of your ancestors as slaves to Europe and America.

The latest threats to your development is your collective lack of a common purpose to achieve greater things. It's instead spent on pulling each other down.

They all lack genuine empathy. All the noise made whenever their fellow Muslims are attacked now looks like a religious obligation to moan, fight and chastise.

Some of the Syrians who moved to other middle eastern states faced discrimination rather than acceptance.

It took the same western nations whose flag they readily burn in their streets to take them in. Meanwhile other middle eastern countries have been more concerned with gaining influence in Syria by supporting and supplying proxy groups to continue killing each other.

For the war in Syria to end, ground troops from the Muslim countries should go sort out that shït. Crush IS and their fellow related groups. This is beginning to look like WW3 only this time confined to Muslim states.

Nigerian flintstones ?

Lack of gainful employment makes people jump and exclaim 'ftc'.
Their wages are usually the number of 'likes' they then gather which sadly can't buy them a pin online or offline.

Not good for our farming sector.
But from the little I understand about large retailers, they can often fine a supplier if they fail to meet demand or fall behind the quantity required.

May have branched out to others to get a regular supply of the fruits. I don't however, believe it may be the reason. May instead be related to convenience or other issues.

Government should force every retailer to market 'Nigerian made produce' where possible. That'll be a good start.

Awww, beautiful animals.

But don't forget to...









'kill it!'kill it with fire!!'
They are probably are the only set of animals I'll chase and kill whenever I see one. 'This is coming from an animal lover'

All good.

We Nigerians don't have time for 'sme sme' anymore. If any politician can not do the 'do', let them, 'honourably' resign!
We are all marking score cards now.

This should be declared as Terrorism on the same level as Boko Haram.
We can not continue to tolerate primitive practices from people who don't want to accept their age old ways are unacceptable.

Used to see the scrawny newly hatched babies whilst in secondary school.

It's a Gaboon viper. Easy to identify with intricate triangular patterns, large head, fat mid section. Very venomous.

It's like Hollywood always got just 1 generic accent for every country in Africa.
Sounds like the product of a Ghanaian and South African accent.

Makes a bit of sense for Hezbollah to snitch on his impending visit. The two terrorist groups are locking horns in Syria and in Lebanon.

I think in the face of all this BH problems, Nigerian Immigration should key into the Interpol database or at least share a database with international intelligence agencies to cross match their biometrics against any impending visitors especially from foreigners of certain nationalities.

Travelers with suspicious travelling history visiting or linking known terror hotspots should get thrown up and vigorously inspected.

I don't care if Fashola was the best thing that happened to Lagos or not. The fact points to huge misappropriation of funds and I think he should be put under scrutiny.

The country or states are collectively bigger than this individuals. A bunch of people who think they're untouchables who then get away with laying the foundations for underdevelopment that still holds us down till today.

You should define an alpha male first. And also define a 'bad boy'. Some of their characteristics are parallel to each other, it's not even close.

Most 'bad boy's can be likened to boys with ADHD and mostly get hit upon for their spontaneity.

I'd also hope cattle nomadic lifestyle would be limited to regions with less possibility to overlap human population.

Ranches should be carved out of the huge landmass in the north rather than the constant conflicts these rustlers instigate when they encroach on other people's space

Figures for weaponising Pumas are outrageous, if true.
There's the reason why hardware purchases should be made transparent.

From Fashola's borehole sinking to this, those in the corridors of power seem excessively prone to steal.

Chop no pay...

Some of it sounds implausible to be honest and I take some of his writings as a bit of wild guesses.
Plausible for support from external sources but not for our own intelligence service to turn a blind eye to another external government apparatus funding insurgents in our country.

Of course, the Kanuri which forms the bulk of BH stretches across the other 3 countries involved in the fight, so you'll expect that it'll be easier to form logistics network and also foot soldiers. That is already well known to anyone that's conversant with the whole crises.
Weapons, safe houses, smuggling is therefore possible for the terrorists to gain access to.

Damn...balls of steel.

Very rare to see a Nigerian army chief on the frontline or newly liberated areas in modern times. That's how it should be...not like those ex chiefs sitting easy in Abuja.

Those radios.
Nice...

Now can we see more of them. Each platoon should have at least a signaller embedded with them.

I am from the south and I am not oblivious of facts concerning the North.

I know about the different languages, ethnic groups and don't call every 'northerner' I meet Hausa or fulani. Though I can't deny I'm more familiar with southerners than northerners, I do not exhibit any of the aforementioned ignorance mostly from southerners to northerners.
We're not smarter than northerners but comparatively the literacy gap is my greatest gripe with that part of Nigeria. (not all part of the North)

I keep hearing leaders are to blame, well the southerners also had their collective fair share of terrible leaders who preferred to pocket money for good schools than anything. However, the difference is that the southerners chose not to be limited by this.

Most strived, even if to put their wards through the poorest schools. Even building community schools themselves. Others tried to at least get to a decent level of education before dropping out if no longer capable of financially paying tuition.

It is very different in the core north where it is not preferred by the guardians to educate their children. Maybe to do with religion or plain recalcitrance to 'foreign teaching' I can not tell.
This is as a result of an 'engrained culture' that'll require shaking off by those heavily affected areas in the north.

The same way the northern majority pushed aggressively for introduction of sharia should be the same way they should aggressively push for bridging the massive educational gap with the south. Now there lies my 'misconception' with the North.

And the other being the religious extremity in certain areas of the North.

It'll be better off this way, to engage the communities at a local level where each would ultimately be accountable to the NNPC than conferring total control to an individual.

Responsibility for each area would be designated to a local authority who would also be held responsible for lapses.
The last administration inspite of the largest security contract ever dished out, still managed to oversee the largest oil bunkering in our history.

Shell & co which a lot of people don't know deploy mercs/private contractors to guard in their operations closer to them and saw less losses comparable to previous years.

Wow. Great stuff from the OP!

She's got really impressive credentials.
Her family looks like a line of high achievers too.

Congrats to her.

I hope a bill would be passed to make it a criminal offence for guardians or parents of children below 16 years to keep them out of school.

Not forgetting that MASSIVE contribution should be made in the educational sector. It's just as important as the quest for power, hospitals, infrastructures, etc.

I maintain its joblessness and lack of exposure.

How 'supposedly grown' men would spend hours on the internet trading words because they happened to be born into any of the other tribes. Despite the massive amount of hate and vitriol I see here everyday by warring tribalists, it doesn't move an hair on my person.

You could easily have jumped over my comment.

The F7 is 'supersonic' moves too fast to engage ground targets. It may also explain the sometimes lacklustre effect of the Airforce in battle when they can not hit ground targets effectively because they fly too fast.

The Alpha jets are made for this type of stuff with extended hardpoints to effectively counter enemies on ground. It's also subsonic and can deliver better performance than the F7.

An SU 25 pairing with the alpha jets would see BH scampering every time those 2 jets are deployed against them.
