presidency:
Today June 9, 2021, the Honorable Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, presented to President Buhari the ITF Mobile, a new Android phone produced by the Electrical/Electronics Technology Department of the Industrial Training Fund’s (ITF) Model Skills Training Center (MSTC) in Abuja. The ITF Mobile is made from components 100% locally sourced in Nigeria (from Lagos and Aba), and is being readied for mass production.

That phone can not be 100% made in Nigeria. Many don't even understand the term 100%. All materials from chips , , screen battery, plastic, board, camera, microprocessor etc in the phone are not made in Nigeria. Even down to the flex. It's just gimmick. even their ordinary attire they are putting on both of them are not made in Nigeria not to talk of a phone

#100DAYSINOFFICE: GOV AKEREDOLU COMMISSIONS AMOTEKUN’S ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS, CONTROL CENTRE

•Says Security Outfit Not For Battle Against Any Ethnic Nationality

Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has declared that efforts to empower and strengthen the State Security Network, Amotekun Corps, was not a battle against any ethnic nationality in the country.

Governor Akeredolu said the existence of Amotekun is rather an uncompromising approach to deal with the forces against the unity of the country and well-being of the people.

The Governor spoke on Tuesday at the official commissioning of the Administrative Headquarters and Control Centre of Amotekun Corps at Alagbaka, Akure, the state capital.

The new headquarters houses a control room equipped with all necessary gadgets where situation reports are collated and transmitted to the approved channels of the security agency.

Governor Akeredolu expressed delight in Amotekun’s initiative of combining local and artificial intelligence to raise capacity in the fight against crime which has assumed a worrisome dimension.

“I am confident of the continued cooperation among our security agencies in the bid to continue to secure the lives and properties of the people. This I believe would be jointly carried out with Amotekun commanders in other States in the geopolitical zone. I wish to reassure you of my support,” he said.

Arakunrin Akeredolu added that the new edifice was a symbol of his administration’s desire and irrevocable commitment to the ideals that were sworn to at the launch of Amotekun initiative sometimes in January 2020 in Ibadan, Oyo State.

“You will agree with me that the challenges we have faced since then has heightened and has become morally necessary to ensure that our men are not just physically fit but mentally balanced to interpret signals as they receive from the various flashpoints.

“It is with this in mind that I wish to enjoin all stakeholders in and out of the State to give the required support to the Agency and other security agencies as they collectively assist us in the realisation of the 6th Goal of the REDEEMED agenda which focuses on the Maintenance of Law and Order through Adequate Security,” he said.

The Governor thanked the people of the Sunshine state for their understanding and cooperation in obeying laws and regulations guiding the movement of motorcycles.

He noted: “The inconveniences are worth it in the end when viewed against the negative consequences that disobedience attracts.”

He, however, solicited the cooperation of the indigenes of the State in the Diaspora to assist his administration in terms of funds and crime-fighting equipment in order to protect the state’s heritage and bequeath a peaceful and safe place to the next generation.

The event was attended by members of the State House of Assembly led by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Bamidele Oleyelogun; Secretary to the State Government, Princess Oladunni Odu; and other members of the state executive council; Traditional rulers led by the Chairman of the state council of Obas, Oba Fredrick Obateru, Olugbo of Ugbo Kingdom; Heads of Security Agencies, Amotekun Commanders in Ekiti, Osun and Ogun states among other dignitaries.

kudos to akeredolu for the building.but it really does not matter how many of such is commissioned as long as the people are not safe it matters little. The focus should be on how to strengthen Amotekun in terms of man power and equipment's.anyway good development

Christ is the conerstone. Tb is not just fake,he is a satanist

I try wondering how we come to the conclusion of his salvation. By the fruit we shall know them. TB Joshua lived a life of services to his creator and to humanity. He celebrated Jesus in is ministry .till he died Jesus was all he preached. Is last word were "Watch and Pray". Let those who keep judging him continue .he has ran his own race and finished.he is with his maker who would judge him. We should be worried about our own lives.

Obaseki plans new airport in Edo North

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki is in talks with investors, development partners and other stakeholders on the construction of an airport in Edo North Senatorial District to open up the area and rev up economic activities in the state.

Obaseki, who disclosed this during an enlarged meeting of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members across wards and local government areas in the district, said the government is working assiduously to improve the state’s transportation network.

The governor said: “There are some key projects that we want to implement in Edo North. There are major investors talking to us now and want to come into the state. We have huge opportunities in the areas of agriculture, mining and transportation.
"One of the major things that I want to do is to build an airport. Access is key, and if people can fly in directly, it will improve the economy of the state.”

He continued: "We have been working on improving the transportation network in Edo State; we have done some studies and found out that an Airport in Edo North is feasible, particularly given the level of investment that we are making in that direction.

“Don't forget that there are two cement plants in the state, major universities and several other economic opportunities that are involved, and to get people there, we need an airport to make access easy. We are in discussion with the relevant authorities already.”

On his part, a party chieftain and former deputy governor of the state, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe, commended the developmental strides of the governor, pledging the support, commitment and loyalty of party faithful from Edo North Senatorial District to his administration

We have all since known that the JF-17 could share data with each other, DATA-Link has been present in this aircraft since inception.

The JF-17 is an excellent fighter jet, but it is not 4.5gen. The Block 3 is 4.5gen.

The part in bold is Data-link. No need repeating ourselves.

you are right but even the block 3 as claimed by china to be 4.5 is not really true.its just their usual over hype

Rafale cannot be compared with JF-17
Thunder according to retired Air Vice Marshal
Shaheryar Ehsan

Written by Shaheryar Ehsan

A former Air Vice Marshal revealed that the Rafale could be compared to the F-16 but it has no one-on-one comparison with the JF-17 Thunder. The revelation comes on the heels of the announcement that Pakistan is entering mass production of the most advanced JF-17 Thunder Block III which has the KLJ-7A AESA radar which can track 15 targets and engage 4 targets simultaneously along with a helmet-mounted display (HMD) and possibly an internal infrared search and tracking (IRST) system.

The debate has intensified after India got the Rafale jets from France recently. However, according to AVM (retd) Shahzad Chaudhry, the real game-changer in the region will be the J-20 stealth fighter. As per his analysis, the only other jet which is capable to go toe-to-toe with the J-20 is the F-35. Any country in the subcontinent who gets either of these first would be able to get air superiority.

In a statement, he said:

For the airspace that we have to defend, F-16s, JF-17s and other platforms emerge in an integrated shape as a formidable force and it was demonstrated in February 2019

The AVM also said that the induction of JF-17 Block II and the mass production of Block III was a significant advancement in the country’s air defence arsenal.

Earlier, the Chinese Ambassador also commented that Pakistan had become self-sufficient in developing JF-17 Thunder:

Pakistan has become self-sufficient in developing JF-17 Thunder and an advance fighter aircraft producing country in the world. JF-17 Thunder has finally become the backbone of Pakistan’s defence. Pakistan and China’s close collaboration will bring more success in the future.

Rafale vs F-16/ JF-17 Thunder vs Chengdu J-20

All three of these aircraft are multi-role fighters, meaning they are made to perform various kinds of operations, including long-range air-to-air and air-to-ground attacks.

While JF-17 is the fourth generation aircraft, Rafale is a 4.5 general "omnirole" fighter aircraft, which allows it to go out on at least four missions in one sortie. China claims J-20 is a 5th generation aircraft.

Both Rafale and JF-17 come in single as well as twin seats. China's J-20, on the other hand, is a single-seat only. India will get 28 single-seat jets and eight twin-seaters fighters from France.

In terms of weight, J-20 weighs 19,000 kg and can carry the weight of up to 37,013 kg. Rafale weighs 9,900 kg-10,600 kg and can carry up to 24,500 kg weight. JF-17 weighs 6,411 kg, with the take-off weight of 12,474 kg. This means both J-20 and Rafale can carry more firepower during their missions.

Rafale is around 15.3 m in length, with a wingspan of 10.9 m and height of 5.3 m. J-20 is up to 20.5 m long, with a wingspan of up to 13.5m. J-17 is 14.93 long, with a wingspan of 9.48 m and 4.77m height.


Rafale attains the top speed of 2,222.6 km per hour, while J-20 and F-17 possess the maximum speeds of 2,400 km per hour and 1,975 kmph, respectively.

Rafale's service ceiling -- crucial during dogfights when pilots want to avoid surface-to-air missiles -- can go up to 50,000 ft, while J-20 and JF-17 have the service ceiling of 65,620 ft and 54,000 ft, respectively.

Rafale can carry most-advanced and lethal weapons available, including air-to-air MCA missile; long-range air-to-air Meteor missiles; and air-to-ground Hammer missile. It can also carry laser-guided bombs with different warheads, and non-guided classic bombs. The scalp long-range missiles loaded in Rafale can hurt deep inside enemy territory.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) recently decided to further boost Rafale's combat capabilities by procuring lethal HAMMER missiles -- a new generation medium-range air-to-ground weapon -- from France. These missiles take out targets in high-altitude areas. Very important for the himalayas

Another major advantage for Rafale is its ability to climb up to 60,000 ft per minute during a dogfight. J-20 can climb up to 59,842.52 ft per minute, while JF-17 has a climbing speed of 59,000 ft per minute.

Another big difference is the battle experience. Rafale is an extremely experienced aircraft, used widely in war missions in Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. The J-20, JF-17 have no such experience.

Dassault Rafale Is Class Apart

IAF has already inducted 11 Rafale jets, and more will join shortly. The first squadron will have its full 18 aircraft by mid-2021 and then the second squadron will start forming. The Rafale is an Omni-role fighter and a battle-proven weapon platform, that has been selected from among the world’s best, after a grueling selection process.

This French twin-engine, canard delta-wing multi-role fighter aircraft built by Dassault Aviation is equipped with the latest avionics and a wide range of weapons. Rafale is intended to perform air supremacy, interdiction, aerial reconnaissance, ground support, deep strikes, anti-shipping operations, and nuclear deterrence missions.

Although not a full-aspect stealth, it is designed with reduced radar crosssection through wing-body shaping and extensive use of composite materials. The glass-cockpit is designed around the principle of data fusion. The primary flight controls are arranged in a hands-on-throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) arrangement.

The direct voice input (DVI) system reduces pilot workload across all operations. The Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) is integrated with weapons. The cockpit is fully compatible with night vision goggles. Rafale has an on-board oxygen generation system that eliminates the need to carry bulky oxygen canisters. The integrated electronic defense suite SPECTRA protects the aircraft against airborne and ground threats and allows independent missions for suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD).

Rafale’s ground attack capability is heavily reliant upon targeting pods, such as Thales Optronic’s Reco New Generation/Areos reconnaissance pod and Damocles electro-optical/laser designation pod.

The Thales RBE2 AA AESA multi-mode radar allows increased levels of situational awareness, multiple air target tracking, long-range interception, as well as real-time generation of three-dimensional terrain maps.

In the air supremacy role, it has passive electro-optical sensors, that allow silent attacks. The Rafale has 14 external hard-points and can carry a maximum of nine tons. The aircraft is nuclear-capable. The two, time-tested, Snecma M88 engines are modular in design allowing quicker turnaround servicing and maintenance. The engines enable super-cruise while carrying four missiles and one drop tank. There is a carrier-based variant, the Rafale M.

In addition to the French Air Force, the Rafale is being operated by India, Egypt, and Qatar. Rafale has been operationally tested in combat in Afghanistan, Libya, Mali, Iraq, and Syria. Several upgrades to the weapons and avionics of the Rafale are under testing and planned to be introduced in steps this year onwards. The Rafale is planned to be the French Air Force’s primary combat aircraft until 2040 or later.

I was going to say something about the ASELPOD but refrained from doing so like I do mostly so that they take the bait. People who barely know think they know something so wait for them to copy and paste online content before exposing they are no professionals.

You can imagine someone here full of himself all the time and his ilk liking ignorance all over telling us SA has something we know isn't true.

About the French Rafale the manufacturer makes us believe it is built with materials that gives it near stealth capabilities. It remains to be seen in combat where projections on paper can quickly go awry against a very capable foe.

But the truth also is that J-17 are not tried and tested

Re.tard

By the way before I put some sense into your empty skull I'll remind you I do so because you are the lowest s.cum of the entire human race

Abhinandan was let go to de-escalate an already tense situation which India too would have done. Pakistan already had the optics of winning the engagement it needed nothing more. Frankly I thought india would take back their pilots and still retaliate oh that's a joke but that's what big powers do to drive home the point. But India didn't because Pakistan would respond and the war would escalate.

You know nothing of International politics to bare indian version of events here with a bold face. To believe such an illusory of the Pakistani Army chief shaking in the legs lol shows exactly the brand of weed that withers your brain. You never heard of black arts.

Pakistan has the nuclear bomb and its Prime Minister is on public saying before Pakistan's retaliation that they had the ultimate weapon and if India so much as threaten Pakistan's existence they would not hesitate to use it. If Pakistan was so afraid of india to shake in the legs it would not so much as lift a finger but it did because it as the levers of military power.

Now run along to mommy. School is over.

You are totally wrong. Pakistan is never willing to confront India in any direct war. While india would be ready to strike pakistan on any slight provocation ,Pakistan is always wary of such cause in an outright face-off without the use of nuclear bombs they would be defeated hands down. and they know this .india as the upper hand in any conflit. and please forget about the J-17 thunder its just an over-hyped jet with little functionality

Great challenges which nigeria and biafra would know before going in for war
1.biafra needs to generate thier own power supply cause the federal goverment(fg) might sieze the electricity in biafran state
2.and if you are biafran and you still use naira to buy that dont give you a true identity of who you are if you hate nigera hate her currency
3.millions of people will starve cause there will be a great shortage in farming and biafran should know the hausa's generate up to 75% of farm produce in nigeria so be well prepared

1.if all state with crude oil support bifra the economic hazard these will cause will be massive your pause will be 47% empty

I live in the Northwest, the destruction of lives and properties by these Fulani marauders is more pronounced here than any other part of the country. They kill tens and hundreds, but most of these killings are not known in the South.
My opinion is that, it is all about land grabbing , because these killings are indiscriminately and Muslims are the most affected. If you say what of southern Kaduna? It is still the same grabbing of land and communities irrespective of tribe and religion.
Although Fodio led the jihad,it was more about land grabbing than the spread of Islam. If not, why do we still have sizeable population of xtians around sokoto axis(Zuru people). Presently in Niger north, and part of kebbi state, most of the villages had been sacked. These marauders in their hundreds continue continue to kill unhindered. Some communities have started contributions for them each month.
Now if this can be happening unabated within Hausa communities ,mostly of Muslims population, what do we call it? Re-islamnisation!!

Therefore, nothing like islamnisation,but the government trying to find land for Fulanis, roaming around Africa. Who says all Fulanis are Muslims?
In order to win this war, let us come together and defend our land against these marauders.

They are both synonymous.

There are various groups detection radars for force protection.
Funny enough this insurgents will flee to their bases, why is it difficult to track them on their return journey to their bases. It's just pathetic.
