Foreign AffairsRe: Built to Kill- United State Powerful Arsenals (pics) by bookface: 12:44pm On Mar 02, 2013
Maple: Meet the nemesis of US Aircraft carrier battle-group, the Rusian-made MOSKIT as well as the Russian & Indian made BRAHMOS supersonic antiship cruise missiles. They travels at a speed of Mach 3 to sink Aircraft carriers. They are currently the fastest and most lethal antiship cruise missile in the world today. They're sometimes termed "fire and forget", and the US has no answer for them.
You CAN'T sink a US carrier for many reasons!

First, they don't travel alone. They are typically escorted by destroyers, frigates and cruisers equipped with Aegis defense system - the world's most advanced defense system - and nuclear submarines.

Second, they displace 100,000 tons of water, making them the biggest warships ever constructed and they have thousands of watertight compartment such that typical missiles and bombs will lack the punch to send a carrier down. The only way, you can probably achieve success is via a heavy nuclear explosion, and since this carriers are considered 4 acres of US sovereignty wherever in the world they lie, this would imply declaring nuclear war against the United States. No one will be foolish enough to attempt that. Hiroshima still sends the chill down the spines of the most radical world leaders.

The US does not need to create answers to these things. It is still owns the world's biggest military muscle.

And i shake my head when you bring Iran into the picture. Iran cannot even stand head to head with either British, French or German forces, i even dare say Israeli forces as well. Israel can violate Iran's airspace if it wishes to do so, and Iran knows this. Comparing Iran to the US miliatry is comparing the strength it will take you to climb Mt Everest with what it may take you to climb your stairway at home.

Foreign AffairsRe: What Do You Think Of Oscar Pistorious' Explanation? by bookface: 10:01pm On Feb 21, 2013
Sagamite: Not really.

I can't reasonably comprehend how people go to use the toilet in the complete dark (as Oscar described) without switching the light on when the switch is always in easy reach by the door and toilet use can be messy or the toilet being messy.

I can't think of anyone that has that ritual, but I know many people lock the toilet door when they use it.
Perhaps there aren't many people with that ritual, but you may sometimes hear some people say they hate to turn on the light when they go to the toilet because it wakes you up and you may be unable to get back to sleep again. It is not that difficult if you've been living in the same house long enough.
Foreign AffairsRe: What Do You Think Of Oscar Pistorious' Explanation? by bookface: 8:15pm On Feb 21, 2013
Sagamite: I am less concerned about her locking the door. That might be a ritual to some people even if the person is their boyfriend.

But the light on the other hand is a damning thing.

Surely if she went to use the toilet, she would put on the bathroom light. When he got there and saw the bathroom light on, he surely must have thought about his girlfriend that he had not initially checked on?

Abi which intruder comes into a house and switchs on the light?

Worse still, switch on the light and then lock himself in the toilet?
Unless you can prove that you have a 100% understanding of people's toilet habits then surely, the below could also serve as an answer to the bolded portion of your argument.


Sagamite: That might be a ritual to some people

Sagamite: If I was prosecuting lawyer, assuming that pictorial is accurate, I would be asking how he intended to carry the fan of that size in.

Why was he not wearing his prosthetic legs to get the fan, it would have been a much easier process that way?

This also contradicts police claim that the trajectory of the shots where of someone standing while he claimed he only wore it after the shots.

[quote author=Red-Light]so what have u done in person for the nation? All u do is sit at the comfort of ur house criticisiing everything .... Are the paramedics , red cross etc not humans like u .... Why don't u organise a NGO to cater for things like this when it happens? No u wnt but it is easy to criticize....

What is the difference between you and the amebos? U only chose to do ur own amebo on nairaland becos u are not at the scene but u came to the thread to check the pictures of the injured ... That's hypocrisy .... .... Nigeria is in this current state because of people like u that wait For the governent to do everything for them ( do u think America become world power today becos government provide everything for its citizens?) ... BTW I Nigeria is a fail state why don't u book a ticket and get the fhuck outta here to probably Somalia or Pakistan[/quote]What have i done? Are you stuupid or just lost your gaddem mind? I spoke out, that's what I have done. I help the victims and future victims by speaking out at the incompetency of the current government. Paramedics & red cross are humans and their job/commitment is to respond to scenarios like this. If ours isn't a society so sick, you wouldn't even have nursed the idea that I should be taking on the responsibilities of the government, while those in charge spend tax payers resources on concubines and holidays abroad. Again, are you stupidd or just lost your gaddem mind?

Yes, Nigeria is a failed state, that's why you have accident victims sitting and writhing in pains with no hopes of receiving good medical attention with an utmost urgency. Another evidence of the failure of the country as a whole would be people like you who happen to be products of its institutions and would rather absolve the government of its responsibilities, while hoping private citizens could use their personal svaings in filling such gaps, again, are you just stupiidd or just lost your gaddem mind?

See everyone standing there watching the dude writhe in pains. No paramedics at the scene, no first-responders, Police are nowhere to be seen, not even a damn community healthcare worker is out there attending to the wounded.

Only amebos, and gbeboruns, who will rather stand there and take pictures (for Nairaland threads), then they come here and say "God Help us oooo". Why can't humans help themselves first?


Click out of here and check out a couple of threads and you will very likely find the likes of Rossikk frothing from the mouth on why Nigeria isn't a failed state.

What does it matter if this statement is very true or partly true? Giving a criminal a justifiable cause for his crime wouldn't help us rid this earth of lowlife scumbags like this.

I suggest the Poster should work to optimize google search result on his website.

Include tags such as "Nigeria's Biggest Fraudster", "Nigeria's biggest Scam", "Fastest way to Lose your money", "Nigerian scam emails"

Just make this scumbag more popular than he is already. Also make sure the link to the website is passed on via twitter, tell your friends to twit it to their friends and their friend's friends. If every Nairalander visiting this page will also tweet out the links, that will be great. This douchebag is only resting because he's not getting enough attention, he needs to be out there, to be known, make him a celebrity.

Israel has got hundreds of nuclear weapons mounted on Submarines and land based ICBMs pointed at every mullah country in the middle east. Technically speaking, Israel has got the military capability to sink the middle east in a single night if it wishes to.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Is It Proper To Reduce Your Age To Get a Job? by bookface: 11:08pm On Feb 01, 2013
manny4life: Why would any prospective employer ask for age, isn't that discriminatory?

Ans to your question, NO it isn't proper. If I were a recruiter, I will fire you before you could even say "it was the devil". Lying to get a job is totally unacceptable, that's why I pity those who beef up their resume because when they find out, some sins aren't forgivable. Let alone a Christian, that a NO NO...Don't even think about it.
You make this sound like the worst thing on earth. I'd rather take the risk that my employer may find out about my age at some point in the future, and then terminate my appointment based on that, than have my chances at a prospective job cut short despite having the necessary qualifications and experience, based on age. It is for the employer to find out and prove that I'm older than what i say i am.

Is it moral or ethical? Probably not, but it's a Jungle, man, and the bills have to be paid. It's not my fault i came into the world earlier than my potential employer would have preferred and i don't think i deserve to be punished for it.

Foreign AffairsRe: BEIRUT (AP) — Syria And Iran Threatened To Retaliate For An Israeli Air Raid. by bookface: 6:32pm On Jan 31, 2013
Frazy: Maybe the much talked about 3rd world war is just around the corner.

The scenario will play out like this >>>>

scenario 1 - Israel bombed the supposedly Syrian chemical weapons installation or whatever it is .

Scenario 2 - Iran and Syria lauches a long range missile hitting Tel-aviv.

scenario 3 - iran orders it's proxy Hizbollah to lauch long rang rocket into northern Israel

Scenario 4 - Israel retaliates by hitting the much talked about Iran nuclear facilities with long range missiles, cuz Turkey couldn't allow it's airspace to be used by israeli fighter jet.

Scenario 5- The US enters the scene to back their tradition ally Isreal.

Scenario 6- Russia enters the war by claiming they stand as side and watch Americans and Israel bombed it's ally Iran.

Final scenario the 3rd World war begins. shocked shocked shocked the annihilations of mankind!!!
People talk as if these things will just happen automatically. Too much movies, video games and war propaganda.

Iran, Israel, Syria, Hezebollah, Hamas, Lebanon, have been fighting their wars for years without the US or Russia just jumping in the middle of it. The US will not commit its troops unless it fears a bigger power the size Russia or China is about to bully Israel, and since there's no bigger military in the middle east than that of Israel, Washington will only stay back and watch Israel fight. Even when Israel had multiple attacks in the six day war, US troops weren't directly involved.

Russia is NOT interested in having a War with the US or NATO for that matter, and neither is the US. It's called Mutually Assured Destruction, millions will die in both countries if it happens, so it WON'T happen, fact! If you are the leader of a nuclear armed state, you don't just make foooolish decisions that you know will cause millions of your own people to die, and all for what? Because Iran or Syria is getting hammered? abegi! Russia will only shout and warn, so also will the United states.

The worst that would happen is a cold war scenario where both countries will supply their proxies with deadly weapons.

Truckpusher: You do really have a point though most Nigerians will look at it from the moral point of view.

I do believe that life could get to a point where there is absolutely nothing to live for. When you look at your present situation and it's very clear that tomorrow brings no hope and your story would always be trying to make the best of bad situation and you present situation is totally bad and getting worse, in that instant it will take a lot of will power and very nice people for one to overcome especially young people.
I expected people will likely and blindly judge from a moral perspective. Ironically, these moral preachers wouldn't probably allow the dude to live in their garage for free if he had chosen to stay on and fight.

I am personally of the view that someone with a family who loves him/her deeply should never contemplate taking his own life if facing extremely difficult circumstances, as he/she wouldn't be the one to feel the pain but those he'd be leaving behind whose lives are likely to change forever from missing him/her sorely.

But this dude has absolutely no one. No one to offer him a shoulder, no one who feels for him, no one gives a shyt about him, he's lived all his life alone in institutions, probably for the wrong reasons or just because of depression, he has struggled to live his life and the UK was about to make that much more difficult by shipping him off to a country where his problems are guaranteed to be multiplied by 10. And yet, the moral preachers expect him to stay alive and fight, for what i ask? why is life a better choice than death?

CGKing: What u haven't given thought to is that: u know what life is, howbeit easy or hard. But you do not know what death is. U have never been there. U have never experienced it. U r only assuming u know what it is. U think it's an empty darkness where u can't think, feel or be.

In btw, I feel for the guy.
Yeah, you are definitely right, it's impossible to say what death must be like. But then, life is not programmed to continue forever, death is an obligation everyone must fulfill at some point. This dude realized there is no point living another 40 years or something in a very difficult life only to eventually fulfill the inevitable obligation at the end of the day. The options were clear: Either die today, or live a very difficult life and die some time in the future, he chose to die today. Maybe death offers a fresh start, a peaceful state, or a much difficult environment, who knows? It is for him to find out. One thing that is pretty obvious however, is that he wouldn't be living his difficult life without anyone to care for or cry to anymore.

Must you commemt if you dont have tangable thing to say. People self
Can you tell me in plain words why Living a difficult life is more pleasurable than being dead and at peace with yourself? To the society, this outcome is far superior than getting into crime.

He took his OWN life. No one gives a damn about him when he was alive, no one will be hurt by his absence, no one will miss him.

The dude has a really sad life, no families, no friends, no future, no home. His life was about to be made much more difficult by getting deported to a country he barely knew. He's expected to toil and boil in the streets of Lagos and to fend for himself in a place where even the toughest breeds crack under pressure. To him, this is not an acceptable choice, perhaps dieing is a lot easier? What difference would it make if he got hit by a car or stabbed by a random junkie? or burnt at stake by an angry Nigerian mob?

You speak like you are retarded. If you are not in other people's shoes, you probably won't know where it hurts. Imagine if someone deports you, a Nigerian, to Somali with an empty pockets, and without family and friends? You can't imagine how that must feel can you? Because you are probably in your fathers house drinking garri with chin chin? Oshisko!


I don't honestly understand why people think death is the worst thing that can happen to someone--who have lived all his life in institutions and about to be deported into a country he barely knew. With no one back home to fall back on, he'd die quickly on the streets of lagos in the first few months of getting here. To this dude, Nigeria is not home. He's got absolutely nothing to live for.

Perhaps those who are dead are better off than those of us living? how would you know this is not the case since you've never been dead before and cannot tell if it's an exhilarating experience or not
