Just a reminder to CBN

these guys are always guilty of any law they set

Johnnyessence:
both malami and magu are the same, they are just clueless fraudsters.

SmartPolician:
This has nothing to do with monopoly. For Dangote to personally get involved not minding what's at stake, Farouk is a crook. The ICPC should pick him up, seize his passport and charge him to court before he escapes like Ibrahim Lamorde

If phase 1 could chop ₦10b hnmmm, I hope it's not going to reach phase 12-16?

I trust this man so much. He was the first person to visit us in Kaduna during the Sharia clash of early 2000.. Our house was burnt that night, he was the one that move us to safety.

The North has been neglected by its own leaders.

Many archaic systems remain in place, systems that no longer work in today’s world. The Almajiri system, for example, could be reformed to include Western education, trade, and artisanship, giving children practical skills alongside religious instruction.

Agricultural and farming schools, with commercial-scale animal husbandry, could be established, similar to successful models in Brazil and China. Food-processing facilities could also be set up to prevent the waste of harvests every season.

Yet the leaders remain silent on development. Their voices are loud only when competing for power, and they often use that power to oppress their own people.

Consider this: the primary healthcare center in Buhari’s village is likely under-resourced, and students in local schools sit on the ground. Katsina natives have held power for over a decade, including Yaradua and Buhari.

Meanwhile, Dangote is worth $30 billion. Yet the public facilities in his hometown,schools, clinics,remain woefully inadequate. The contrast is stark and undeniable.

Una still dey probe after 2 weeks? If I am CG Musa, na this case I go first use score cheap wins. Very low hanging fruit.

The Beretta ARX160 is a modern modular assault rifle developed in the 2000s for the Italian Armed Forces' "Future Soldier" program. It features a polymer upper and lower receiver, short-stroke gas piston system, and quick-change barrel capability. The variant in question (7.62×39mm) uses AK-47/AKM magazines and is designed for compatibility with existing ammunition stockpiles in regions where the AK-47 is prevalent..
It weighs about 3.1 kg empty (with a 16-inch barrel), measures around 914 mm with stock extended, and has a cyclic rate of fire of 700 rounds per minute.

In contrast, the AK-47 (Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947) is a Soviet-era design from the 1940s, using a stamped steel receiver, long-stroke gas piston, and fixed or folding wooden/metal stock. It weighs 3.47 kg empty, is 880 mm long with a fixed stock, and has a cyclic rate of 600 rounds per minute. Its simplicity allows for mass production and minimal moving parts.

The ARX160's design emphasizes modularity and adaptability.

The ARX160 is also highly reliable, with a gas regulation system for various ammo types (including surplus) and a proprietary piston design that reduces fouling.

It's engineered to match or exceed AK-level durability while adding features like a chrome-lined barrel and heat-resistant components. Sources note its superior precision and reliability over AK variants in controlled testing, though it may require slightly more upkeep due to complexity.

Accuracy and Range


The ARX160 offers better inherent accuracy due to its tighter tolerances, adjustable sights (up to 600 m), and options for optics via Picatinny rails.
Effective range is around 600 m, with muzzle velocity of about 920 m/s. It's praised for superior precision compared to AK-47 conversions or originals.

The AK-47 has an effective range of about 350 m, with iron sights adjustable to 800 m but practical accuracy limited by heavier recoil and looser build.


Ergonomics and Features


The ARX160 excels here with ambidextrous controls (safety, magazine release, charging handle), selectable ejection side (left or right), folding telescopic stock, and extensive rails for accessories like lights, grips, and suppressors. It includes a hollow pistol grip for storage and is user-friendly for left-handed shooters or quick caliber swaps.
The AK-47 has basic ergonomics: right-side ejection only, non-adjustable stock in many variants.

Modularity and Versatility

The ARX160 is highly modular, allowing barrel swaps (12-16 inches), caliber changes (e.g., to 5.56×45mm NATO), and integration with grenade launchers like the GLX160.


Combat Effectiveness: Which is Best?

"Best" depends on context, but in modern combat scenarios involving trained forces, urban environments, or integrated optics/suppressors, the Beretta ARX160 is superior.
Its lighter weight, higher rate of fire, better accuracy, ergonomics, and modularity make it more effective for precise engagements, rapid adaptation, and sustained fire. It's designed as an upgrade for AK users, allowing seamless use of 7.62×39mm ammo and magazines while adding NATO-level features—essentially "retiring" the AK in professional militaries like Italy's or special forces in Russia and Turkmenistan.

However, in guerrilla warfare, extreme environments, or with minimally trained fighters and limited logistics, the AK-47 edges out due to unmatched simplicity, dirt-cheap cost (often under $500 vs. $1,500+ for ARX160), and proven resilience—it's why it's still used in over 100 countries after 75+ years.

Overall, for most contemporary combat (e.g., counter-terrorism, peacekeeping), I'd rate the ARX160 as better—it's a refined evolution that addresses the AK's shortcomings without sacrificing core strengths like piston reliability

DiamondSword799:
Nigeria would never solve the Northern problem until the Fulanis are completely routed from the leadership positions they occupy in the military and security services.

benardtotti:
Wait you cooked our legendary nairalander Beaf for your hubby ? No wonder we haven't seen Beaf in years on this forum , na you cause am !

ukaegbuikedia:
He should be squeezed and grilled thoroughly.

Malami, Pantami and Buhari are the cause of Nigeria's woesssssss

PAQ:
The gateman had to video it and post it on social media. The reason i will FIRE him, so he can focus on content creation and clout chasing.

iamL:
80% of BP machines in Nigeria are fake, their readings are never correct. I can categorically tell you that the best thing is to look for an authentic one and buy for personal use. If you are not above 40 years I don't recommend taking any BP drugs except you trust your doctor just work on what you consume.

This our country ehn.

Hello Nairalanders
I got this new nexus freezer Nx160hce on about 4 days ago , and I noticed that the freezer freezes at the top to the middle part while the lower part is cold but not freeze yet , although it haven’t run for over 6 hours straight due to the power supply . It is still going to freeze to the lower part as time past or I should return it

thesolutions:
It's the design. It is to avoid you having to scrape ice from the bottom that will ruin the foil. Same as mine. Same model.

Love800:
Feeders. You mean transformers?

And apart from the main topic concerning dis thread, can you brief me what 33 abi na 11 mean? I keep hearing dem alot. "Na 33 you dey use!" What's the meaning pls?
Thank you.

Kaczynski:
not for me



i tweaked mine prepaid meter so my meter blinks but doesnt read anything . its stuck at at last year recharge .cant remeber the last time i stepped into nepa office.

They know. But are too lazy to audit

TalkTalkTwins:
How is it done?
Do you get to choose the band?

T9ksy:
The curse laid by the so-called man of God is null and void. There is no religious genocide in nigeria rather it's ethnic genocide.

The death toll in my region (at least) comprises of both muslim, xtians and traditionalists in equal measures. They were slaughtered by fulani herdsmen not because they were xtians or non-muslims but principally because, they were yorubas.

I believe it"s quite mischevious and disingenious of those propagating this actrocious of religious genocide in the country.

Las las, everyone wiill reap whatever they sow.
