Reference: But what will have made you believe that a flying jet can be captured. How do you capture an aircraft in flight.

The locals also reported that it flew so low they could make out the 'door'. An alpha jet has no door. I suppose they mean canopy because the cockpit canopy is the object of intuitive attraction because the airmen are right there. If the pilots were visible through the canopy then the jet was within a thousand feet of the ground. That in a hilly area like Adamawa means one thing, crash.

hardbody: Those were rational and logical thought processes. I also thought about some of those and that is why this is a discussion forum. He may be wrong, indeed completely wrong, but he showed that he was thinking of possibilities. I will give you my personal experience. I was working for Glo sometime when information filtered in that robbers were operating at Oceanic Bank and that was around past noon. While we were discussing it downstairs at the time the operation was ongoing, i recall contributing to say that the only way a sensible criminal can expect to go with any loot from there was to come in with a speed boat, operate, leave, take cover around any of the creeks towards apapa/tin can and then speed away to safety by nightfall. I also said if i was the security chief in Lagos, i will use an helicopter to comb all the creeks and bushes around that arena. Guess what? the next day, the Glo CSO came to my office to tell me that 'oga, those thieves came through the water and left through the water, but policemen were busy mounting road blocks in and around V/I.' Am i a professional? No. It was just rational and logical thinking process. If you have suggestions, make them and appreciate it when others make theirs.

I hope i have stayed away from insult, please if you need to respond, kindly do same.

olrotimi: who is this one? #hisses

Amanwulu1: I'd prefer it crashed to d BH capturing it, tho' I never really feared dat it was captured as in being in d hand of BH.

eunisam: I don't like this type of news at all at all.I thought we just aquired 12 war jet,how come they didnt use them? Am so dissapointed!

tivta: Could this be the same jet I saw on friday flying around the airport aimlessly? The colour is grey with a star on its tail, I swear when I saw this plane flying aimlessly for close to 30mins I was dead scared. Someone should pls list out the possible damage this plane can cause so that we all can be prepared to say our last prayer or run. This is not serious anymore it is deadly. If it means Johnathan should step down for peace to rain pls let him do so, he is playing politics with peoples lives oh. Am dead scared right now.

brownlord: Best news so far.

The topic should have been, Sahara reporters Video Journalist killed in action.

God Bless the N.A

Jodesky: Again, you have missed your drugs. That explains why your memory has shut down.
The issues are pretty clear. Reuben Abati posted a picture of GEJ holding a security meeting on Boko Haram with the Chadian President AND with Bunu Sheriff, a suspected BH sponsor seated, in attendance.
The issue is not about airport reception. My grouse is why a suspected BH sponsor (so says our own DSS) would sit with two presidents to discuss same BH issue. Apart from the question of his locus standi at that meeting, does it make any sense at all having such a discussion to his hearing?
Is he a Govt official of either of the two countries? Why would people allow politics to becloud their sense of reasoning in a matter with such negative security implications?
Most of the idiotic comments as yours on this thread are capable of drawing us back.
I guess the people claiiming the president is benefitting from BH crisis may have a point afterall, now that an alleged sponsor is now involved in bilateral talks on same crisis.

xtervaganza: Question for d op





How did u manage to have an archive of such disturbing pictures?





How do u manage to sleep?

stevecantrell: Now tell me, what happens to those who arrested her ? Don't they immediately become contacts ? Will they not have to undergo surveillance ?

Unless Nigeria takes drastic measures at curtailing immigration from ebola hot spots, the min of health shouldn't make unguarded statements like "No ebola in Nigeria"

jerseyscustom: It a pity we only need to step our effort to battle this issues yet our leaders are concentrating their effort towards 20150 election

aljharem: is sahara reporters apc

mistudreh: Ribadu isn't a politician. He has not been able to understand the political cycle of Nigeria. The very moment he opted for PDP has ruined his future political ambition... He has betrayed the trust many young Nigerians had in him. Many see him as one of the few credible figures that could lead and develop Nigeria. Take it or leave it, Ribadu's political career has been finished.

maestroferddi: Unfortunately, the evil expectation of people like you will never come to pass given the potency and gallantry of our armed forces.


Boko Haram are merely exploiting the goodwill of the government to carry out isolated attacks.


The moment a full-scale war is declared against them, they would be extirpated out of existence within days.

Now go and tell that to Shekau...

OrlandoOwoh: Keep deceiving yourself. If not for foreign media that give us the true picture, will some day be taken unaware that Boko Haram had gotten towns from the north to Lagos.

OrlandoOwoh: The DHQ always claim no town is lost, only for them to turn round to say the towns have been regained. I need a reliable source from BBC, Aljazeera or CNN.

ogbronx: My friend, your thinking is too low. So anyone who doesn't approve of GEJ govt hates him? Do you even know that the presidency is an institution and not a person? That is why only competent pple run institutions for achievement of goals.
Stop liking someone because ethnic or religious affiliations. Only bigots do that. If GEJ is sworn in 2015, your misery would be doubled. Hater ke! haters ni!

hensben: you are a big f.o.o.l for thinking this way, we are concern about liberation of nigeria and you are spewing rubbish..id.iots, f@g, m0r0n, zombie, nitwit, etc. #spit on you#

elomepee: Why you sef no volunter since they don't deserve to be paid. Go volunteer your life for Ebola.


I don't know why people just like saying whatever comes to their mouth. Must you comment?

lomaxx: I need to check my dictionary for the meaning of "volunteer" again. Maybe the definition has changed.

FrancisTony: I wanted to ignore this mention but the bolded caught my attention. I don't want you to feel me as a snub.


Okay! Who is the first African to Win Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature?

FrancisTony: Why should they be respected when what most of them do is "la cram, la pour.

What should be respected is what they achieved in life not ordinary paper award.

You don't expect me to be respecting someone with 1st class in EEE when he hasn't achieved anything meaningful to the society.

Wole Soyinka made 2.1 in University and he is being respected today for what he has achieved in life not paper certificate. You dig?


EDITED- I have a secondary school classmate who always score high in every subject. Her result percentage is always a way higher than second position.

She always hit 92, 93 in Physics and Chemistry exam added with test but during Physics and Chemistry practical(s), she fumbles.

Nigerian education is solely based on theory and little or no practical. So, First class should be disregarded except what you are able to reproduce in labour market. Kapish?

JayJohnson: I keep pondering and thinking how the most populous black country on the planet found ourselves in this quagmire. Can you imagine that an independent negotiator appointed b the government named some alleged financier of boko haram that has been tormenting Nigeria for years and the government is still thinking or confused on what to do? This is a big, big shame! Whether they are financier to the dreaded organisation or not, it is the duty of the court to prove this, but the clueless and inept government does not even know what to do. Now this is not about opposition or APC, this has to do with government knowing the right thing to do. I just hope Nigeria will do the right thing in 2015, vote out this marauders in government

manny4life: A lot of people have talked about yam pounder, that stuff doesn't work well like the real pounded yam. There is a difference between pounding in a mortar and crushing/smashing in an equipment. The texture and the feeling are different. Take it from someone who knows.
