It is risky everywhere as far as Naija is concerned but clowns trying to make it a Lagos affairs alone. A certain guy Brian Dennis Jones on Facebook has been dragging the people of Igbo-Etche for their notorious land grabbing and reselling an already sold land to another person. The issues have even been discussed on a national radio (Nigeria Info FM) but clowns only talk about Lagos. It's not a must to buy property in Lagos

Dear Good people of Etche

It is not my intention to profile your people as Land Grabbers, Organ Harvesters and Kidnappers.

But there are some truths that must be told and I have told them. This landgrabbing is an issue that has affected so many innocent people but you people have not said or done anything.

A family member was recently affected and I decided to raise awareness that you people refused to do and instead of you people to support me, you instead turned it to an issue of personal attack.

I have received all manner of threats and insults in my comments and in my DMs from The people that have never threatened and insulted the land grabbers in their communities.

If any Etche person feels hurt about my posts for the past few days, it is nothing personal against you. But if you are angry, channel that anger against the land grabbers doing damage to your collective image.

As for me, my campaign message remains DO NOT BUY LAND IN IGBO ETCHE. © Brian Dennis Jones (Facebook)

Not only in Lagos...... It's happening in the east and the north........

Putin is increasingly paranoid. However he can only defeat NATO politically and not millitary and a nuclear war will spell doom for all

ClassicNairan:
I just dnt see how this small island can repel attack from the military might of China, given its larger population, economy, and military resources. I just don't see it.

Dey play. The same way you don't see Ukraine standing up to Russia. Btwml. You fools keep opening numerous accounts here to defend your paymasters

If all things go according to plan, full internet would be restored to the affected African countries by third week in April, this is according to the National Communications Authority (NCA) of Ghana.

The NCA said that after meeting with the four subsea cables’ landing service providers and mobile operators, who provided the regulator with the estimated repair time.

Efforts towards finding solutions to the problem received a major boost over the weekend as Orange Marine, a subsidiary of Orange Telecoms confirmed it would lead the repair process with other telecoms engineering firms. It is expected that Orange would deploy its newly acquired state of the art cable ship Sophie Germain for the operations.

The Sophie Germain is a 100 metres long ship that is equipped with an underwater robot that can dive down 3,000 metres and lift a damaged cable to the surface to be fixed. The state-of-the-art 450 kW ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) can also cut, inspect and bury the sealed cable in a trench in the ocean floor.

The whole process can take about three days so full repair depends on how many points for repair on each of the three major cables.

According to Orange, the new cable has minimal environmental footprint that is fully equipped to meet growing global connectivity needs. A ship position tracking I did this morning show that Sophie Germain is heading to Toloun France.

MainOne earlier suspected that the damage may have been caused by tectonic activities on the seabed because the area the damage happened is impossible to be accessed by human activities.

However, the United States Geological Survey said it did not detect any earthquakes in the vicinity of the cable breaks last week, even though that does not rule out other possible earth related activity on the seabed.

The new ship is named Sophie Germain, after one of France most outstanding female Mathematicians and Physicists. Described as coming ahead of her time, Sophie was prevented from pursuing her chosen path in Mathematics because of her gender.

She was also prevented from attending the newly established Paris Polytechnic because she was a girl, so she adopted a pseudonym M. Leblanc through which she wrote her papers which won awards.

She is one of the pioneers of elasticity theory; she won the grand prize from the Paris Academy of Sciences for her essay on the subject. Her work on Fermat's Last Theorem provided a foundation for mathematicians exploring the subject for hundreds of years after.

How do they arrive at the figure. Another propaganda for their guiluble followers to masturbate on

China:

Applies double standards on non-interference when it comes to its allies vs its adversaries.

Promotes its political system (sometimes referred to as "developmental authoritarianism" as an alternative to Western-style democracy, but often props up kleptocratic regimes abroad that face significant opposition from their own people.

Criticizes Western democracy promotion efforts (citing cultural diversity and thus the need to refrain from imposing foreign systems of government) while also promoting its own political system.

Criticizes Western arms sales to Ukraine, but itself sells arms to other conflict-ridden countries, such as Syria and Myanmar, and is relatively uncritical of Russia doing the same.

Makes statements about "win-win cooperation" and "sustainable development", when kleptocracies are antithetical to these principles.

Calls for peaceful resolution of conflicts, but refuses to rule out the use of force to conquer Taiwan.

Uses economic pressure to coerce other countries to do its bidding, while criticizing US efforts to do the same.

Calls for dialogue to resolve conflicts and disputes around the world, but often refuses to compromise itself.

Prioritizes state sovereignty as an absolute principle, even when a country's domestic affairs can destabilize the entire region (for example, a massacre motivated by a kleptocracy desperate to maintain that system against popular will would likely lead to a refugee crisis, especially if the situation escalates into civil war), prioritizing kleptocracies' interests over the fallout that nearby countries have to deal with.

Russia:

Criticizes past Western military interventions abroad, but has also performed its own that have failed to produce their desired results.

Criticizes Western neocolonialism, while also asserting its own neocolonial practices on former Soviet republics that may not reflect the will of those populations.

Criticizes Western-style democracy as being specific to certain cultures, while also allegedly interfering in foreign elections (whose people do want democracy that is not subjected to foreign interference).

Accuses the West of actively seeking to destabilize Russia and its allies, despite itself doing the same to Western societies. For example, Russia criticizes Western funding for independent media and NGOs in authoritarian states, despite itself promoting its own narrative on geopolitical issues that can destabilize democracies.

Portrays itself as an anti-colonial power in Africa, despite engaging in resource exploitation deals that lack transparency and disregard human rights.

Claims that its political system is popular among the Russian people, while also trying to impose it (albeit indirectly) on other countries where political freedoms and the rule of law are more highly valued, culturally.

More broadly, accuses the US of being a destabilizing force in the world, when many of its own foreign policy actions have also led to instability.

UNITED STATES

Applies double standards on criticisms of human rights violations when it comes to its allies vs its adversaries (for example, the US is a vocal critic of the persecution of minorities in Xinjiang, China, while being more silent on persecutions of minorities in India, a strategically important country).

Criticizes Russian (and potential Chinese, particularly when it comes to Taiwan) military interventions abroad and has imposed sanctions in response, but has also engaged in unlawful interventions itself (in some cases, against democratically elected governments, particularly during the Cold War, putting its own interests against the right to self-determination) with few consequences.

Maintains a sphere of influence in the Western Hemisphere and strongly opposes Russian and Chinese activities in the region, while also denying Russia its own sphere of influence.

Claims to be the champion of democracy and human rights, while sometimes failing to uphold them domestically and abroad, even when it has the power to do so.

Uses sophisticated tactics of economic coercion to pressure other countries to do its bidding, but strongly opposes the use of sanctions by non-Western powers against Western allies.

Promotes its own narrative on political systems and geopolitical events around the world, while putting significant effort into preventing the proliferation of alternatives.

Attempts to covertly undermine/disadvantage presidents in Latin America or sub-Saharan Africa deemed hostile to US interests, even if they legitimately have popular support.

Accuses its adversaries of being destabilizing forces in the world, despite engaging in destabilizing foreign policy activities itself[/b]

Dey play. Huge number of people outside the usa does not mean huge profit. Tiktok made 16B$ from usa last year. Highest revenue from a single market. You think they will just forfei that. Btw tiktor is also banned in india

Houthis should continue attacking umdersea cables. Americans needs to suffer gravely. Lmao. Una eyes go clear. By the time you guys are sent back to the stone age. While america is still standing gidigba.

Telecoms infrastructure should be classified as strategic security assets. Imagine just 4 cables & 10 countries shutoff?

One would expect that this should be a topic of serious considerations whenever some of the highly paid African experts at the African Union and ECOWAS sit to sip Coffee, Tea and Wine. The vulnerability of Africa, and our overdependence of external structures is a major cause for concern.

Classification is more than acknowledging such in textbooks of strategic studies, international relations and diplomacy. Classifications without backing and protection is of no meaning.

Did we not classify our airports as national strategic security assets, yet people walk through our airports airsides to steal runway lights.

Back to the issue at hand.

While the managers of the said cables are yet to determine what caused the damages, to have four major cables --The West Africa Cable System (Wacs), MainOne, Sat-3 and Ace sea cables — arteries for telecommunications data — all affected at the same time calls for not just reflections at the continental levels, but at sub-regional levels too.

Imagine eight West African, and two Southern African countries, and Portugal, severely affected, disrupting services from banking to aviation, e-commerce to education, communications, governance etc etc.

Cloudflare said yesterday that the repairs can take weeks to months, depending on where the damage is, what needs to be repaired, and local weather conditions.

MTN Group said that Ace and Wacs have jointly initiated the repair process, and that they would send a vessel to fix the damaged cables.

Microsoft reported disruptions to its cloud services and Microsoft 365 applications across Africa. Telkom’s Openserve fibre unit and Standard Bank were also affected, with Openserve adding it had rerouted traffic.

Microsoft services were hard hit by the cable problems causing many companies to lose access to e-mail systems and other cloud-based services such as the Teams video-conferencing tool for several hours.

This has also highlighted the need for diversification of access points so service providers would have alternatives when such emergencies occur.

The intervention of the Angola Cables has been quite commendable and reason most of us can still make posts and communicate at present because they are using their newly built Sacs Cable to redirecting international data and traffic to the Sacs cable, which connects Angola directly to Brazil and from there to the US and Europe.

Also, the newly commissioned Google’s Equiano cable, which came into commercial service last year, has been unaffected by the outages. This means the system can be used to reroute traffic to Europe that had been carried on the affected cables.

⚡Ukrainian MP Hennadiy Vatsak has become the first European owner of a $600,000 electric Rolls-Royce Spectre.

While ordinary Ukrainians are dying in the trenches, Kiev corrupt officials no idea where to waste their stolen money.

Putin own more than this. While ordinary Russians are also dying in the trenches. lol
Low budget propaganda

DystopianMuse:
"The latest directives from the main military-political department of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation indicate that the standards for voter identification among military personnel have been simplified to the extent that their physical presence at the polling station is no longer necessary. Moreover, to confirm one's identity, neither a passport nor a military ID will be required – even photocopies of documents are sufficient.

This is why Russian democracy is so much better than American democracy. They even let you vote if you’re dead. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
