PoliticsRe: Emir Sanusi Wants Nigeria Restructured by dragon2(m): 12:51pm On Mar 11, 2016
Sunky200:
california is as big as the whole of west africa

back to the topic, the emir's idea is within reason but not visible

there will be everest objections from all regions and all holders of those public offices
This statement is not correct.
California land size. 163,696 mi²
Nigeria land size. 356,669 mi²
However we DO need restucturing because we ARE a LARGE country.

I think this is politics. It is in response to Madeleine Albrights statement that there is a special place in hell for those women who do not vote for women(Hillary clinton in this case) into elected position. The female supporters of the clintons opponent, Sanders, came out swinging. This is not based on religion.

johnydon22:
This is not impressive neither does it spell ingenuity... When are we going to stop celebrating these type of mediocre contractions.

Because a motorcycle fixed to a miniature plough is your idea of a tractor..

who in fuucks name gave these guys the impression that such imbecili_c contraption has the power to perform the work of a tractor.

A motorcycle lacks enough power for that and how can you say this was designed and built in Nigeria when neither the motorcycle or the plough it was hitched to was designed here.

This is embarrassing.. WTF is the meaning of having a Science and technology ministry..
Actually, that is not a motorcycle engine but a 10hp diesel engine used in two wheel tractors and diesel generators common in 9ja. The guy coupled the 10hp engine to a drive shaft connected to wheels,added implements and an extra wheel to make a stabilised 3-wheel tractor you can ride instead of push.

A competent judge can throw something as being inadmissible, can he/she prevent a Sahara Reporters from writing about it?

Has a competent judge or even the US intelligence agencies been able to prevent Snowden from saying his mind? Did they not lose face from all his revelations?
Before any evidence is made public in court the judge has to approve of it.As long as dasuki is not on the witness stand he cant reveal anything.

Akainzo:
Not necessarily!
No one kills a mosquito on his face with a sledge hammer talk less of killing one on the scrotum.

Dasuki is not an ordinary guy, he is a former National Security Adviser, meaning he has access to intelligence information that are termed "HIGHLY CLASSIFIED" and no nation on earth will trial such people in an open court!
No nation even tries former spies or intelligence agents in an open court, how much more the head of such agencies. It is the height of stupidity to expect a former NSA to be tried in an open court.

The aim should be that he is well represented by his choice of lawyers.

That Ben Bruce is a Senator and does not understand this fact, is a testament to how much bereft of basic leadership qualities the people that we have saddled with making laws for our country. This pronouncement by him, and that h even chose to broadcast it indicates how lacking in depth he is. SMH
Nobody said Dasuki has to come to the witness stand,also, a competent judge would have full control of what is acceptable in court.
Christianity EtcRe: How Prophet ‘Daniel’ Abodunrin Was Killed & Eaten By Lions At Ibadan Zoo In 1991 by dragon2(m): 1:36pm On Jan 21, 2016
Mathew. 4:7. Jesus said
to him, "On the other hand, it is written,
'YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR
GOD TO THE TEST.'"

Deuteronomy 6:16
Do not put the LORD your God to the
test as you did at Massah.

Pastor tested God and entered the den on his own will and got eaten.

Daniel was thrown into the den against his own will due to the jealousy of darius the king and because daniel, trusted in God.

16 Then the king gave orders, and Daniel was brought in and cast into the lions' den. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Your God whom you constantly serve will Himself deliver you."
Anybody that tests God is "OYO". Rather, wait upon the lord.

Two people (charles and Alfred) said it is darius,and darius said it is neither of them. Darius claim of the innocense of his accusers gives weight to the validity of alfred and charles accusations. However, this suggest that darius was within the vicinity of the crime not necessarily the criminal.The fact that brenda failed in noting the innocence of alfred and charles as backed up by the accused (darius) and indeed accusing alfred suggests that brenda is hiding something(lieing). Darius defence of Alfred and Charles is a silent accusation of Brenda. Hence, brenda is the culprit.

This sprinkler head cost N10000 each. It can cover 20metres radius.
Hello sir,

The 20 meters radius means approx 65.5feet radius or a diameter of 131 feet. I hope this is correct?
what pipe diameter is this particular rain gun(20 meters/65.5 feet) coupled to? 1,2 or 3 inches pipe? If I were to oder for 2 (=N=20,000)can you deliver to Asaba Delta state?
Finally, what is the cost of the 25 meter radius rain gun and what pipe size is it coupled to.

The more addicted to porn you are, the less likely you are searching for it.
FamilyRe: Nigerians, We’ve Got A Sexuality Problem by dragon2(m): 9:53am On Nov 11, 2015
Actually,we have to notice a subtile difference.Yes,we are highly rank in Google searches for porn but,that's it.It's just searches. The key difference is that in the West and Asia these porn sites are long bookmarked by their people who have access to large bandwidth to home connections and don't have to go to cybercafes. Their PC in some cases boot to porn sites using active desktops. So in essence, it a stat that is flawed or should I say,lacks definitive substance. People hooked to porn would definitely bookmark it and not search using google.It therefore may suggest we are not as hooked to it like the rest of the world.

"Plans have reached advanced stages for the construction of another communications satellite by the National Space Research and Development Agency.

Investigation by our correspondent showed that the satellite would be designed by the Centre for Satellite Technology Development, one of the operational centres of the NASRDA, and constructed by an Italian firm, Thales Alenia Space.

It was learnt that the Nigerian space agency planned to build another radar earth observation satellite that would be able to overcome the challenges currently being faced by the country’s two earth observation satellites, NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X.

The communications satellite being planned with Thales Alenia Space will be executed in close collaboration with Nigerian engineers at the CSTD, who are supposed to get hands-on experience in the construction of satellites......"

Economic analysis from investment bank Renaissance Capital (RenCap) says that South Africa may come alarmingly close to losing its place as the second biggest economy in Africa.

According to RenCap chief economist, Charles Robertson, the group’s projections would see South Africa’s GDP output for 2015 slipping to $317 billion.

Nigeria officially became Africa’s biggest economy in April last year, leap-frogging South Africa, after the government announced a long-overdue rebasing of the country’s gross domestic product.

Solar panel is 1.5 w @ 5v or 300 mA.
Capacity is 25000mAh.
Charging time per day is abt 7hrs at solar panel efficiency of 80%.
Estimate current delivered to the battery per day from solar panel (without adding accessories to the power bank.) is 2000mA- 2100mA.
Est. time of full charge should be 10-11 bright sunlit days.

never mind these people, they proclaim to have the biggest economy im africa, but they have only $23billion budget compare to SA's $120billion budget 2014. Do your maths.
This is a tired argument but I guess you are new here.
Nigeria is a nation of Federated states. The Budget is for the Central/Federal Government only. The 35 States are not included.

According to you we are struggling to put 2 helos in the air yet we are operating 3 Oryx's and 3 Rooivalks currently in DRC.
For the sake of your health,read the article I based that comment on.

"......Going back 10 years, 22 Squadron would be able to put six Oryx into the air while the squadron’s current
situation is such it has one, possibly two, of the rotary-winged workhorses available at any given time."

Nigeria obtained three "Lynx Mark 89" machines, which featured Gem 43-1 Mark 1020 engines with 847
kW (1,135 SHP) and digital engine fuel controls for "hot and high" performance; Bendix Primus 500 radar
instead of Seaspray radar; and folding tailbooms.

Fact 1: USAF is short 600 fighter pilots

Fact 2: USAF is struggling to make up these losses

Fact 3: They are turning to the private sector for assistance with these matters

Exactly as the SAAF is doing.

And Nigeria is laregly unable to train its own pilots:

As of 2009, most of its fleets were grounded and its training institutions were constrained with shortages of technical skills such as instructors and institutional facilities.
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/nigeria/air-force.htm

Thats why you have white boys flying your hinds
Fact 2 is wrong, nowhere they said the are struggling to make up loses.
2009 is not 2015.The air force has been recruiting and training pilots in numbers since the return of democracy.The shortfall was as a result of the Military era fearful of its own.

THE

ARTICLE


The USAF is STRUGGLING to keep enough pilots BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING POACHED BY PRIVATE AIRLINES with the result that they are now short 600 fighter pilots and are trying to figure out better ways of keeping Commercial pilots in their reserves.

I dont post citations for fun.

Read them, understand them, comment accordingly
And I keep telling you when compared to the 12,920 pilots, 3,413 navigators and 1,443 air battle manager the US has it is insignificant to the defence of the country unlike your crises. They can always spit out more,which you are obviously struggling to do. Something Nigeria has no problems with.
