You spent $16 Billion without power but you want us to read a book to explain why.

If na so make we kuku dey produce books.

Don't mind Obasanjo him dey form Lee Kuan Yew dey give us book

OneKinGuy:
Returning it back to Nigeria will just add more spiritual problems for us. Lets just leave it there for the time being

Are you joking? These things are pointers to our past civilization because the white man would always say Africans have no history/civilization now u are saying it would add to our spiritual problem. What is Spiritual about these things? So sad too bad. I blame our leaders for this they should have made history compulsory for everyone, Africans don't know their history and past civilization

Hehehe. God have mercy

Erdogan-calls-muslim-countries-unite-confront-israel.
This one is mad in the 21st Century. Instead of calling for Peace, Unity and Cooperation, he is calling for war. Shameless mad Devil.

I don't think he was calling for war but he wants Israel to stop the brutality and gaza blockade. If the Arab world was united Israel and US won't have their way. Key Arab countries don't want to confront israel over the israeli-palestinian crisis because they have a common enemy and that is Iran so the Arab world is not united. I'm not a muslim I'm always objective in my analysis before you people start saying i hate israel

If you were a Christian,you would rejoice over this news. Truly,you would know that the promise God Himself made to redeem his lost children is being fulfilled. And moreover,if you were a believer then you would rejoice over this testimonies of God,which are preludes to the coming of Christ.

Are you saying you had been waiting for this time before you start preparing for the coming back of our Lord Jesus christ? Working out my own salvation with fear and trembling i dnt care if Jerusalem becomes the capital of Israel. Everybody will stand before God to recv his own reward whether u are an Israeli or not. My allegiance is to the federal republic of Nigeria and not Israel. Continue avoiding my questions.

DavidEsq:
Is dat ur answer to a simple question?

Don't mind him. He has nothing upstairs, i dnt blame people of his ilk.

Elliot2:
Christians don't ask this kind of question.

Pls what question does a christian ask? Does christianity stop us from thinking? If you know the word of GOD u would have answered my question but you couldn't because you have no answer than to rejoice over what does not add to our virtue as a christian. What does not add souls into God's kingdom, Give me the reason why i have to rejoice over this move.

Workingdays:
Does international laws supersede THE WORD OF GOD?

I'm a christian let me ask this question. What do we stand to gain from jerusalem becoming the capital of israel? E go increase our anointing or we go enter heaven automatically? Pls answer me i don't understand. Or naija youths would be employed automatically by Israel. Smh

I don't hate Israel but i think this move violates international law. Those who love israel shouldn't come for my head o

Am surprise you are taking a myopic view on this.

The best and enduring education is not the one impacted on you by your teachers, but the one sought by yourself, driven by an inner desire and hunger.

The internet is a vast avenue capable of feeding that hunger and drive, it will enable students to strive beyond the four walls of their classrooms or the limitations of their teacher’s repetitive and tired lesson notes. They will have opportunities and reseviour of knowledge only limited by their drives and desires. At early age, they will be able to see what their peers globally are doing and capable of, making them more apt to compete in the emerging global market place.

Smartphones are ubiquitous these days even in Nigeria, the price point of these devices keep coming down and they are no longer the exclusive reserve of the rich.

Agreed, social misfits will take advantage of it to further their nefarious activities, but that is not enough to deter it. We don’t stop building highways and bridges because Armed Robbers use them to commit their nefarious activities and as such, these concerns should not deter building the information high way or making it more accessible to more Nigerians.

Knowledge is power and advantage.

I feel like hugging you for this.

The so called Jet is yet to arrive and its already trending. That means when the jet finally arrive, person no go drink water drop cup again be that nah.

Lol. U get am

Lol. See my life outside. Thanks OP

Do you detonate old bombs? I think there is a way advanced countries dismember them. There are still some WW2 UOD unexploded ordnance in Germany till today and i have not heard German security forces saying they want to detonate expired bombs. Bomb na banger?

abraham1234:
Bros f117 stealth was destroyed using soviet era heat seeking missile, forget stealth. Do u know what 100 megaton nuke can do. Na country killer .. Russia I hail

Exactly it was downed during the Bosnian war, funny enough it was downed by an old soviet era air defence missile, now that S-400 is around some people think it can't detect a stealth plane, i think this stealth of a thing is an illusion

Heybeedee:
The United States, Russia and China all have one thing in common: they are all building some of the most advanced fighter jets in the world. Specifically, 5th generation fighters that, at least on paper, could dominate the skies for decades to come.
The planes that get the most interest, America's F-22, PAK-FA and J-20 all have their strengths and weaknesses, but could any really beat Washington's F-22 Raptor?
Could Russia's new jet take on America's best?
Could China's 5th generation fighter take down America in the sky?
While such a fight in the sky could literally mean World War III, sketching out the advantages and disadvantages the F-22 holds against either plane is important. So, for your reading pleasure, Dave Majumdar, TNI's Defense Editor, has analyzed what would happen if the F-22 faced either plane in combat. Below, in two separate articles, packaged together in this posting, both published last year, we take the issue on. Let the battle begin.
***
This year marks a decade since the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor was declared operational with the U.S. Air Force.
Billed by many as the most capable air superiority fighter ever built, the Raptor only recently proved its mettle in combat over Syria and Iraq about a year ago. But the jet wasn’t used to annihilate a Soviet air armada over the Fulda Gap or rip apart an advanced enemy integrated air defense system as its designers had envisioned. Instead, the Raptor has most been relegated to the role of a flying sensor platform.
Nonetheless, the day is coming when the F-22 could face a foe that might have a chance of going toe-to-toe with it and winning—albeit a small one. Russia and China are hard at work developing the Chengdu J-20 and the Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA. Of these two machines, the PAK-FA is probably the more serious challenger. Despite the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has somehow managed to retain a more or less credible defense industrial base—even if it’s just a shadow of its former self.
Everything about the PAK-FA suggests that it is similar in concept to the Raptor —being optimized as a fast, high flying and stealthy air superiority fighter. However, as one might expect, the Russians put more emphasis on certain characteristics and less on others.
One good example is stealth. The T-50’s design places far less emphasis on all-aspect low observables. Instead, it focuses on frontal aspect stealth—thus it has a so-called “Pac-Man” signature where as the F-22’s signature looks more like a spider if one were to look at it from a God’s eye view. Stealth is where the F-22 holds a huge advantage over the Russian jet.
In terms of sheer kinematics, the T-50 and the F-22 are probably comparable—especially once the PAK-FA receives new engines. The Russian jet’s current Izdeliye 117 engines are decent, but ultimately the plane will need to reequipped with the developmental Izdeliye 30 motors to fully exploit the capabilities of its airframe.
Both aircraft are capable of cruising faster than the speed of sound . The Raptor is able to maintain a hair over Mach 1.8 without afterburners while the PAK-FA can probably do at least Mach 1.6 without the blowers engaged. Max operational altitude is 60,000ft for the F-22 and is probably similar for the T-50. For max speed, the Raptor is redlined at Mach 2.0 because of the limitations of it radar absorbent materials, I would expect a similar limit for the Sukhoi.
While the F-22 might be holding a better hand when it comes to stealth, the Russians have the edge in maneuverability. The T-50 is equipped with three-dimensional thrust vectoring and all indications seem point to the PAK-FA having an edge in terms of agility. The Russians are also likely to have a helmet-mounted cuing system and high off-boresight missile integrated on the PAK-FA from day one.
Meanwhile, the Raptor will finally have the AIM-9X integrated in 2017 and the Air Force is slowing stumbling toward getting a helmet-mounted cuing system onboard the F-22 by 2020 . On the plus side, given the state of the Russian economy, the PAK-FA probably won’t be operational by then.
In terms of avionics, the Raptor probably has the edge in terms of sensor fusion and pilot-vehicle interface. The Russian don’t have the best track record for developing user-friendly cockpits— one look at the cockpit of a MiG-29 tells the story. But they are getting better. Overall sensor performance might be comparable, Russians make decent radars and they have excellent electronic warfare systems.
All things being equal, if stealth turns out to be everything it’s cracked up to be against a peer-level threat, the PAK-FA could be at a distinctive disadvantage. If the U.S. Air Force’s faith in stealth proves to be a fallacy, the PAK-FA holds the edge. But in the end, war has takes on a life of its own and it’s hard to predict an outcome with any certainty.

One thing i know about Russian aircrafts is their super manueverability and the PAK-FA/Su-57 possess that too. Thanks for the enlightenment

F-22 are superior to any Russian made fighter jet.......The US now have 5th generation deadly stealth jets in F-35........Even the most advanced Russian air defence S-400 has been circumvented by the IDF in Syria. The truth is that, F-35 can make an entrance into Russian airspace, destroy S-400 and still leave without being hit. After all, it is only F-16 but with Isreali avionics that IDF is using against Russian made S-300 currently deployed in Syria, and the IDF are hitting target in Syria even up till this morning . The F-16 that was downed few months ago still made it back to Isreal........The pilot was at fault as he made an operational error that was avoidable.

The only thing Russia has as a deterrent to the US is to go nuclear, but if it is about conventional warfare, US will destroy them. Isreal has the best airforce in terms of training...they are at par and maybe superior to their US counterparts in terms of training. Russia and China are still way behind them though China and Russia have assets more than Isreali, but nothing compared to what US has.

Russian and Chinees jets have not been tested in war....they have not been deployed against any advanced air defence in the world.........The best they have gone is to go after ISIS militias who only have small hand to surface missiles. I am sure Russian and Chinees fighter jets will be easy prey to America's Patriot, and Isreali Iron Dome, David Sling, and Arrow 3.

I think S-400 only protects Russian assets in Syria and not Bashar al-assad assets. Russia deployed the S-400 after its Su-24 was downed by Turkey in 2015. So how did the IDF circumvent the S-400? Before the IDF could circumvent the S-400 they have to enter Russia controlled territory and why would IDF go after Russia? Pls answer these questions. And S-500 is in development take time to read about it

CSTR1003:
Russia is not an empty barrel though. They are deadly.

I just feel stunts like these is beneath them .

It should be left for paper tigers like North Korea, not a nuclear superpower.

Lol, France does this every year it is called Bastille day parade in France and Donald Trump has been requesting for this kind of show. Do you know what? It sends a strong message to your potential foes. And that NK you called paper tiger could fry Seoul the South Korean capital. If US and SK see them as paper tiger they won't try and make peace with them

hoMegas:
It is not surprising to see our beloved country in the state that it is today. Simply because, most Nigerians will mindlessly gobble down whatever is presented to them hook, line and sinker. There is nothing preventing any of the mindless Fools above me from going to the internet and reading about the JCPOA agreement. In the first place, Obama never paid Iran American money as a part of any agreement, the financial exchange that occurred was simply a transfer back of Iranian assets seized during the Iranian Revolution back to Iran. The four hundred million dollars that was reportedly paid was as a compensation for the fighter aircraft Iran ordered prior to the revolution that were not delivered.
America claims today that Iran violates the terms of the JCPOA agreement,meanwhile the IAEA (organization responsible for inspections and verification of the deal.) has submitted reports to the consistency that Iran has been complying with the agreement. Benjamin Netanyahu's histrionics is reminiscent of George Bush 's clamoring for war with Iraq. This is just a recurring situation of Drumf trying to destroy his more illustrious predecessors legacy.
Lastly, to the Nigerians that babble endlessly about the subject of homosexuality and Obama .It was a conservative U. s Supreme Court justice that legalized homosexuality throughout America. The siege of Mosul and the Alliance that dismembered Isis Was The work of President Obama.
While I agree that President Obama was not the perfect leader, Ignorant Nigerian youths should do their best to Investigate before making mindless claims on such matters.
Thank you.

I feel like buying a rolls royce for you. You are well informed, i salute

How did they encourage abuse? The NAFDAC that didn't do their job, Who should fine them?

Emzor and others produced legitimate drugs and sell. It's not their headache that its abused, its the ministry of health that should figure that out.. Not sure they have a functional minister though, had this been d Ebola era, maybe-just maybe Nigeria may have been decongested (pun intended).


They are supposed to churn out medicine even much more than beverages so people get treated properly and with the right drugs. Don't be overly sentimental.


All the fines the govt have collected, what were they used for? Relooted I suppose

God bless you

Trump go dey vex now.

Security is an illusion, hackers would still bypass it these guys work day and night just to break into the most secured system.

How? And they were able to study without fear of bokoharam attack.
