Very useless invention from a useless country!! Scientist from other parts of the world are focused on making ground-breaking inventions & discoveries, retar*ded Nigerian scientists are focused on something as useless as refining urine.

It was even patented hahahaha, this is a clear case of patenting stup*idity, the paten*t office grants such much quicker.

There's a reason such things don't already exist (except for exhibition purposes) first, how much urine is required to produce at least one cubic foot of flammable gas?

Then comes the issue of practicality, how easy is it to process urine into flammable gas, how expensive is the process & how feasible is it when it comes to rolling it out commercially.

Our scientists are dumb and it reflects on the country. The other day I saw people praising a group of university students who created a large lump of scrap metal they called a car.... It was actually hailed as an achievement. Lool a country of mediocrity.

Which one did u and ur father invent and get patented

Its no insult but a question

If not pls shut up

You must be a child. Go and ask your elders. Your SS was a beliguered community under occupation by the Igbos. It was the northern soldiers that went and freed you from the Biafran shackles of domination as a defeated population. Hundreds of your young men and women were brought to shelter in the North and to study in ABU at expense of the north.
These are facts, go and check before you continue professing your new found love for your hostile neighbors.

That is a new one

WHO IS THIS ABOKI?

There are Seven Classical Maneuvers of War: penetration of the center, envelopment of a single flank, envelopment of both flanks, attack in oblique order, feigned retreat, attack from a defensive position and the indirect approach. A commander often must employ more than one maneuver to achieve victory; he may try to penetrate the center but fail, feign a retreat and then envelop a single flank. Each has advantages and disadvantages while may be more effective in some situations and less in others. There is also One Modern Maneuver of War: offensive revolutionary/guerrilla. This maneuver has actually been around for awhile but is only now becoming a legitimate, effective means of victory. These maneuvers were first listed by David Chandler in The Art of Warfare on Land.



THERE IS NOTHING LIKE RETREAT IN WAR TACTICS....




The AK-47 was designed after World War II by the Soviets, who issued the guns to the communist army's conscripted forces. In the past few decades, the AK-47 has become one of the weapons of choice for many groups — and one of the most commonly smuggled weapons in the world.

One of the first true assault rifles, the AK-47, or Kalashnikov, was designed for soldiers who have to endure terrible conditions on the battlefield: It's light, it can carry a lot of ammunition, and it can withstand harsh weather and poor handling. The gun's design and ubiquity also have made it popular among small-arms dealers — as well as insurgents, terrorists and child soldiers.

C.J. Chivers, a Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent for The New York Times, has encountered the Kalashnikov while reporting from Afghanistan and Iraq. His new book, The Gun, traces the migration of the AK-47 across the world, detailing the consequences of its spread.



"It's pretty hard in many parts of the world, particularly in Afghanistan, to go [into] territory under insurgent control, and not be ambushed by Kalashnikovs," says Chivers. "Their numbers are so outsized that this is quite a common experience."

One estimate by the World Bank suggests that 100 million of the 500 million total firearms available worldwide are variations of the Kalashnikov.

"There's a lot of measures of a weapon, and one of them is how they work against a conventional foe, like the United States military," he says. "That's not the best measure. The best measure is how they work against a larger set of victims: how they work against civilians, how they work at checkpoints [and] how they work in the commission of crimes for all of these things. It's a [terribly effective] weapon."

Chivers has covered wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Chechnya and served as the Times' Moscow correspondent from June 2004 through mid-2008. He also served as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps from 1988 to 1994. He received the Livingston Award for International Journalism for his coverage of the collapse of commercial fishing in the North Atlantic and shared a Pulitzer Prize in 2009 for his dispatches from Afghanistan and Pakistan.

On why child soldiers favor them

"It's out there. And the weapon that's out there is the weapon that tends to get used. But the other reason is the design. It's very, very simple. It's almost intuitive. You can take it apart very quickly and put it back together just as quickly. It's simple to clean. It's simple to maintain. Most of the Kalashnikovs out there are very well made for the actual conditions of war. It has an excellent protective finish. It's chromed on the inside of its barrel and its chamber. All of these things mean that if you're not particularly attentive in caring for it, it's still going to last and it's still going to work."

On the invention of the AK-47

"It was a weapon that was designed to be issued to the communist conscripted forces. It was going to be the standard shoulder firearm. And the Soviet Union was really quite brilliant at copying its enemies' patterns. ... The AK-47 was basically a conceptual knockoff — a copy of a German idea, which was to take a cartridge midway in size between those used by pistols and those used by the traditional rifles of the time and to take this medium-powered intermediate cartridge and build a weapon around it. And this brought several technical advantages. With a lighter-weight cartridge, you could carry more ammunition, which meant each solider could be more effective and could last longer in a fight because he would have more ammunition in his pack or kit."


"The other thing it tells you ... is that, in some ways, it's a mediocre weapon. It's not especially accurate and it's used often by people who are often not especially skilled. I'm one of them, but there's many, many more [people] who have been ambushed by Kalashnikovs and not been shot. Because they miss you. And there's reasons they miss you that are rooted in the weapon's own design and also in the training of the people that carry them."

"The weapon is designed with a relatively short barrel and it's designed with a relatively loose fit of its parts and it's got a heavy operating system and it shoots a medium-powered ammunition. At longer ranges, it's actually not incredibly effective. At shorter ranges, it's a terrible weapon. But at longer ranges — which is pretty common in the arid regions such as Afghanistan and Iraq where there's not a lot of vegetation — they often miss."



1. Mikhail Kalashnikov, who was a tank commander during World War II, began his career as a weapons designer after a shoulder injury during the Battle of Bryansk. While in hospital in 1942, he overheard wounded soldiers complaining about Soviet rifles and decided to change that.

The first Kalashnikov rifle was produced in 1947, bringing its creator the Stalin Prize and the Order of the Red Star. The AK-47 has been the standard issue assault rifle of the Soviet and then Russian army since 1949.

3. Durability, low production cost, availability and ease of use are the features, which assured AK-47 global success. Kalashnikov’s creation performs in sandy or wet conditions that jam more sophisticated weapons. The designer called it a “symbol of the creative genius” of the Russian people.

4. The AK-47 has made it into the Guinness Book of Records as the most widely spread weapon in the world, with 100 million Kalashnikov rifles currently in use.

5. Military and special forces in 106 countries around the globe from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe are now armed with AK-47s.

6. Russia not only distributes the Kalashnikov rifles all over the world, but also licensed its production in over 30 other countries, including China, Israel, India, Egypt and Nigeria.

7. It is believed that AK-47s have caused more deaths than artillery fire, airstrikes and rocket attacks combined. An estimated quarter of a million people are gunned down by bullets from Kalashnikovs every year.

8. But Mikhail Kalashnikov himself never experienced self-reproach about the blood spilled with the help of his invention as he created AK-47 for protection. “I sleep well. It’s the politicians, who are to blame for failing to come to an agreement and resorting to violence,” he said in 2007.

9. Relative cheapness has always been one of the most important advantages of AK-47. The average global price of the assault rifle was estimated at $534 in 2005, according to Oxford University economist Phillip Killicoat. Though in African countries the price of AK-47 is on average $200 cheaper.

10. Osama bin Laden always had a Kalashnikov rifle with him during his video appearances. According to some reports, it was the US, which gave the Al Qaeda founder his first AK-47 to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan.

During the Vietnam War, many American soldiers gave up their M16s for the more reliable Kalashnikov rifles, which they picked up from dead enemies. Even now, the US marines carry AK-47 magazines with them because of how common the weapon is.

12. The image of AK-47 appears on the flag of Mozambique as well as coats of arms of Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso (1984-97) and East Timor. The Kalashnikov rifle is also present on the flag of Lebanese militant organization, Hezbollah.

13. The parents in some African states name their babies ‘Kalash,’ which is another nickname for the Kalashnikov assault rifle, according to a documentary by Russia’s Channel One.

14. Russia’s top basketball player, Andrey Kirilenko, born in the city of Izhevsk, which hosts the Kalashnikov rifle factory, has played under No.47 in the NBA and was nicknamed ‘AK-47.’

15. Egypt has immortalized the AK-47 by erecting a giant monument, portraying a barrel and bayonet of a Kalashnikov rifle at the Sinai Peninsula.

16. A gold coated Kalashnikov assault rifle was recovered by US troops from the weapon collection of former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein.

17. Coins dedicated to Mikhail Kalashnikov and his creation were issued not only in Russia, but also in such a peaceful place as New Zealand, which marked the rifle’s 60th birthday with special two-dollar pieces. They came in cases shaped after the AK-47 magazine.

18. French newspaper, Liberation, has named AK-47 the most important invention of the XX century, with the Russian rifle leaving the atomic bomb and space flight behind.

Dnt forget that I said good doctrine....NDA needs 2 do a loot of work.the military also needs 2 change its trainning methods..the act of turning men into animals via koboko and body punishing actions rather than training their minds and heads plus to their legs..to be creative underfire,alert and swift in advancement..this is.the reason why the army usually brutalize civilians..u will always here from them"u know wetin i suffer join army"...trainning should be made to harness the mindset of every recruit and combant of adventure and service(if they really have it) discipline.slowly creeps in during trainning..dat is our fundamental problem NA dont turn men 2 animals turn them 2 fighters

If you take a look at Nigerian army you will understand that they have this savage mentality, their brutality and force s funny, these days war and military is not about the force but intelligence. Look at how they burnt buses, you do not do things that way.
Today, in modern warfare, we are looking at accuracy and this is done via training. Mind you if you give these set of people that will act (iR)rationally on a slightest provocation you will shudder. I have been outside the countries and I have seen how soilders behave. Army isn’t for jobless people nor for cowards

Please let us stop blaming our armoury but on morale, lets take a look at these pictures and tell the different types of guns the terrorist and our army are using, they are basically the same, the only difference is morale. Morale wins war not guns and equipment, you can give a very sophisticated weapon but without good strong will he cant just use the damn guns , but AK 47 is the best gift Russians gace to the world in wars.
The AK-47 is the perfect weapon for children

The AK-47 can be stripped in under a minute and cleaned quickly in almost any climatic condition. Even if it isn’t cleaned, an AK-47 is still more likely to fire than any of its rivals given similar treatment on the battlefield. With only eight moving parts the AK-47 is cheap to manufacture and easy to use — so easy in fact that children can be taught how to properly handle this weapon in a single hour. Sudanese child soldier Emmanuel Jal picked up his first AK-47 when he was 9 years old. A fully loaded AK-47 weighs four kilograms: “I don’t know how I lifted the AK when I was tired. It was so heavy,” he remembers. “We only had a few AKs but we weren’t scared, it was like a game with toy guns. When the fighting starts you can put the gun down and run away, or pull the trigger. Once you’ve done that you are hooked; it makes you think that no one can touch you. Once you've fired an AK-47 you become brave.”

America may have given bin Laden his first AK-47
Since 1998, Osama bin Laden has regularly included an AK-47 in the propaganda videos he releases after terrorist outrages. Consequently, the gun has come to represent the global jihad, and AK-47 is an integral part of the regime at fundamentalist camps, as far apart as the English home counties and the jungles of the Philippines.

These groups and their adherents are dedicated to the destruction of Israel and America — yet it is highly likely that it was Israel and America that inadvertently put an AK-47 into bin Laden’s hands. When the Israel Defense Forces invaded Lebanon in 1982 to “crush” the Palestinian Liberation Organization they captured thousands of AK-47s.These guns found their way, via the CIA and the Pakistani Inter-Service Intelligence Agency, to the Mujahadeen resisting the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. It is probable that amongst them would have been the AK-47 that equips bin Laden.


The AK-47 is the U.S. army’s most resilient enemy
U.S. forces first came into large-scale contact with the AK-47 during the Vietnam War. Their own M16s malfunctioned in the heat and damp of the jungle, but the Chinese-supplied AK-47s used by the communists continued to fire. Consequently, thousands of GIs picked up AK-47s from fallen Viet Cong guerrillas. This led Americans to open fire on their own side because they presumed the distinctive pop-pop-pop sound of an AK-47 revealed an enemy position. So many GIs threw away their guns in favor of AK-47s that a House of Representatives hearing in 1971 discovered that the U.S. Army attempted to stop the media reporting the phenomenon. Today, nearly 40 years later, in the sand and heat of Iraq, American soldiers are once again giving up their own U.S.-manufactured weapons in favor of the AK-47.

The AK-47 is the weapon of choice for U.S. mass murderers
On January 17, 1989, Patrick Purdey walked into the Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton, California, armed with a Chinese-manufactured AK-47. It was fitted with a barrel magazine holding 75 rounds — both of which he bought legally over a gun-shop counter. When he walked out again five children were dead and 29 were injured. In December 1997, Arturo Reyes Torres entered his former place of work, the Caltrans Maintenance Yard, with an AK-47, killed four and wounded two. There are many more examples of AK-47 murders in the U.S. The online Urban Dictionary defines “Columbine” like so: “The constant bullying of the preppies and jocks has caused him to pick up his AK-47 and go Columbine on everyone.”
Ironically, the Columbine killers did not use AK-47s, but it doesn’t matter; in America gun crime is now perceived as AK crime.

Bro u point is noted I only replied an individual in his same words..info now is dat the NA seems 2 have learnt their lessons a lot of educated individuals are making it easily into the army ..my neighbour is atypical example..ND holder with no connections in the army.he.is in depot right now....we are.learning

Dont mind them...you will see people that really want to join army they will be told to pay
.can u imagine that


They recruit bunch of cowards and expect anything

I have always loved military but due to the fact i dont know any general i couldnt join and i cant join again...got better things


This is where tribalism has landed us


They should win that war or we divide..those are options left

Your post was good

Gave a nice post...

[color=#1980BC] [b] I wouldn't blame the FG but the age old military traditions instituted to kill merit for nepotism,creativity and passion for medocrity..everyone is into the army for monetary/social gains and we pretty sure none envisage the spectre that was BH never mind engaging them.Skirmishes like these never need aerial assets if they cannot be available but men who are not only well-trained but are bold and passionate?? enough to stand their grounds else a little frontal BH assault turns into a turkey-shoot at our expense.I can bet that mayowa was a victim of incoordination,cowardice and just plain fear on his part and that of his comrades...is it the fear of BH technicals? something a single well placed sniper/ sniper teams can pick off or the sight of gun wielding urchins streaming across the horizon? Another thing well placed GPMG emplacements can easily mow down.The NDA is graduating half baked student officers who cant command and control battlefield scenarios and crises thus setting them up for stories that touch....Or maybe the instructors are just useless desk officers.[/b] [/color]

That is what i wanted them to knw

Dont blame the weapon power blame the will power


These boko boys are just civilians with the same type of weapons also

Cannonleo:
I beg 2 humbly disagree an upgraded Ak with optical sights and a pistol grip (optional beats ur theory of will be an overwhelming improvement 2 a certain degree...if it is operated alongside a good orbat doctrine and.common sense...
When a target is beyong 300 meters say.400-496m switch 2 semi automatic even while underfire.prone and fire studies,simulations have shown that the minimum acurracy u can achieve underthat condition is 92% percent same a a dragnov sniper rifle under pressure ..when ur hostiles aee within range.switch 2 full automatic and engage..even thou i certainly agree with u.i prefer 2 fight with what I can produce quickly and deploy and also improve,however monotomy in weaponry for infantry men makes no sense now in modern warfare..

With the propensity of the west to hit sanctions at any time nd the fact that even the germans will no give us a licence even 2 produce WW2 MP40..i will stick with this modified AK for infantry nd AK-74 for special forces with 40mm grenade attached shekina

My man ur writing thesis

Give these combatants isreali uzzi or howitzer they cant use it..why

Majority of them aint got education...they are trained in hausa and there is common sense application low

Just like givin an iphone 6 to an illiterate..he wont use the full capacity

Dont blame the gun blame the morale

Now isis are stoped in south turkey with just riffles

Dont under estimate the will power

Look at biafran war

Locals produced their weapons held the whole country hostage tears and years

PenSniper:
Collynzo, the ongoing Syrian war is barely 3 years old and the total casualties of both combatants and civilians is just about 300,000. That millions of boastful Biafrans perished in a 3-year war does not speak of bravery but lack of brains and low cognitive reasoning which make empty barrels to make the most noise.

When they say million died in biafra are they civilian or army

Did they count the bodies

We cant even count the living accurately not to talk of death

Did they starve civilians in syria

The soilder died in cowardice

R i p though

Dont let me worked up

Nigerian army lack ingenuity..they cant even take on boko civilians

They begged uk russia etc to supply them weapon to fight biafra

The breeze has blown now we can see the anus of hen

You dont use nepotism to recruit

U use patriots


Now to some people

Its good to die standing than in ur knees or runing


Its not the weapon ...ak 47 is a good gun but cowardice i can say

A bad workman quarells wit his tools

An army went tp war during greek times i think its sparta war..the general burnt their ships telling them they should not and cant retreat..that is bravery they won the war

Another army went to war crossd the bridge burnt it and won the enemy...no room for retreat..its cowardice for them

R i p soilder...but if i might say

Vietnam fought usa with rusty weapon and usa suffered
Biafra held nigeria hostage for years

Its not the weapon but the low morale and bravery of the army

Now this is army fighting civilians


This is the problem we have depending on foriegn powers we should be ashamed of ourselves as country

Biafra manufactured their weapons converted aircrafts to bombers built great bombs and guided their missiles

Here we cant even build simple pitsols but beg usa to sel us guns....they are making guns in awka

This is what we get hating igbo

Ihejirika has been vindicated

In biafra africa died

R i p soilder
