Haha, it's pointless trying to talk some sense into a fool.

I wonder how many people in this thread who're actually advocating this bs is going to join the U.S. army?

Actions speak much louder than words. Will the cowards expose themselves, or will they continue spewing hot air?

America does not give a hoot about Nigeria.

One thing too many people tend to forget is that America is always out for its interests [not anyone else].

It's laughable some see their recruitment offer as a "helping hand".

Sweden would be your best bet overall, then Canada. . . . .Norway. . . . . . .Spain.

32m dollars as in $32,000,000?

Fraudulent.

I've done my research on AFRICOM, the guy on the video is seriously onto something.

-Larger land are than most African countries
-Higher population density than most African countries
-Higher than average birth rate

The population is likely higher than reported.

Wow, these men are really choosing the wrong path. Good on NDLEA.

This belongs in the Crime forum btw.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!

Lagos — The power problem in Nigeria is giving the Chairman of Zinox Technologies, Mr Leo-Stan Ekeh serious concern. Not only does the problem create a lull in the economic growth of the nation, it also reduces the development of ICT which computer is a key driver.

To him, the situation is not a healthy one for those in the computer manufacturing business where his Zinox technologies is in the frontline.

The remedy according to him is for concerned stakeholders to be more innovative than ever, to be able to give users a new lease of life. And like the proverbial Moses he decided to lead the way with a recent launch of laptop computer, BigimiPRO, tagged the Digital bull, which can store power for a whole of 13 hours.

The product according to Zinox is a result of 18 months of extensive research with its technical partners has added 4 exciting new and innovative products to her product portfolio. However, the company said it not spend 18 months in the research room to come up with only a product. This is as it added other three products which are also geared towards resolving most of the problems that users experience in their day to day computing.

These are the Zinox Bijimi Sage Laptop, The Zinox Smart Plus and the Zinox Classmate Notebook. The products are said to hold power for their users for up to 7 hours respectively. The company's Head, Corporate Communications, Mr Echika Ezuka, while unveiling the products for the media, last week, noted that the Nigerian energy problem could be said to be resolved permanently for computing with the launch of the products.

Introducing the products, Ezuka explained that the Zinox Bijimi PRO is actually the digital bull, describing it as "a new robust but very stylish Laptop built for professionals that wish to survive the global financial crisis. This Notebook which has been certified by Intel Corporation and Microsoft runs on latest Intel Power Processors T3400 and P8600, with 2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 15.4 inch display screen, Webcam, Bluetooth, Microsoft Vista Business/XP PRO and comes standard with additional battery that gives the user a minimum of 13hrs interruptible usage. The product is for the exemplary workaholic, adds real value to the bottom line and is exclusive to Zinox" he added.

Meanwhile, announcing the release of the Zinox Bigimi Sage Notebook, Ezuka went historical. "The issue of the development of the African continent is the struggle against neo-colonialism and its agents of acculturation. This product is designed to promote a consciousness in appreciation of the African continent's great sages like Nelson Mandela, Jomo Kenyatta, Ahmadu Bello, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Abdul Naser, Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah, etc.

These great men laid the foundation of modern Africa and you can not appreciate Africa in the Digital Age without according them great respect".

He said the Zinox Bijimi Sage Laptop is powered by the latest Intel Dual Core T3400 processor, with 2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 15.4 inches display screen, Webcam, Bluetooth, Microsoft Vista Home Basic and comes standard with additional battery that allows the user a minimum of 7hours of uninterruptible usage with one year comprehensive warranty and a specially dedicated support hotline.

"This is the best way to re-brand Africa and remind all Africans that their destiny lie in providing responsible leadership for the African continent" Ezuka enthused.

For the Zinox Smart Plus, Ezuka said that when it comes to size, convenience and speed, the product offers immense relief. "This new generation Notebook is driven by the latest Intel Atom Processor and certified by Intel as a lead product for 2009 for highly mobile but knowledge acquisition focussed citizens. The Zinox Smart Plus is in a class of its own. It has 10.2 inch screen, 1.6 GHz, 1GB RAM, 60 GB HDD, 1.3 mega pixel camera, wi-fi antenna, 2 USB (2.0) ports, headphone and microphone jacks, 6 cell Li-ion battery, Realtek audio system, a 1 year comprehensive warranty and its affordable".

The product according to him, comes in different certified colors of Red and pink that passed through the best coating certification laboratory in Japan and considered not expensive for the quality and design.

The fourth addition in the laptop category, according to Ezuka is the Zinox Classmate Notebook, tailored towards celebrating the efforts of scholars and students. The product has outstanding performance with an 8.9" screen, 1.6 GHz, 30GB storage, 512 MB RAM, 1.3 Mega Pixel Camera, Wi-Fi Antenna, with a choice of Win XP Starter Edition or Linux as operating system with lots of software installed as standard. All these are in addition to a 1 year comprehensive warranty.

Ezuka said that with over 16,000 units sold, the Classmate PC goes a long way to address the dearth of instructional materials in schools, adding that these products are just a few of the many that would be introduced before the year 2009 runs full course.

So your concept of sanity includes perpetuating an armed group(s) to attack, kill and maim another while the other group stays unarmed?

No, not at all.

What I'm doing is looking at the full scope of things.

Why is CAN sending out a bill that will enable many more people to be armed, when they could instead send out a bill that can help disarm those you're complaining about?

If more people are allowed to carry arms, and tension persists, you are asking for nothing short of civil unrest on a massive scale.

Fluent: English, Spanish

Semi-Fluent: Igbo (forgot a lot, and can only understand verbally)

Learning: Portuguese (very easy to learn if you know Spanish)

Plan/Want to Learn: Swahili, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic

I wonder how fast it would take for "self-defense" to turn into pre-meditated murder if this bill was to pass?

We're in the middle of a global financial crisis with millions of people losing their jobs around the world (including Nigeria)- IMO, the last thing this nation needs is more people carrying around weapons.

The people proposing this have to be insane.

Haha, when you posted this article, it became your [b]419[/b]th post.

Kobojunkie:
It used to be WHEN IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS DO, not WHEN IN ROME, TRY TO FORCE THE ROMANS TO ADAPT TO YOUR WAY. We have abused tolerance and we need to stop it now before it gets out of hand.

Exactly.

Good news.

This is a step in the right direction. More intra-African trade will help tremendously in the fight to eradicate poverty on the continent.

75k would not last you, Depending on the type of life style you expect lead. Do you plan on having a job what city do you plan on living in? do you have any family ties over there and i hope you are not trying to go start a business over there.
Why Nigeria? you have a warrant or something that you are running from? I hear statute of limitations on some crimes run for 5 years

What an idiot (both of them). Send his self home, no point in harboring criminals- especially in this economic climate.

Wow, how tragic. This young woman took her own life because her boyfriend broke up with her.

Life lesson: Things change, when that happens, MOVE ON!

The lord has a plan for these people, 56 bullet holes and no one hurt? I'm convinced.
