A president that installed 3 finance ministers in one week can only be described as a cosmic gypsy; I shudder to imagine the apocalyptic level of unrestrained buffoonery currently playing out in the dark corners of south africa's corridor of power.

Pap is by far better than cassava in standard and decency.

Cassava is used for making:
>flour to bake bread and other snacks
>fufu(a world renown,highly nutritous Nigerian delicacy often eaten with soup)
>garri(a powdered coarse flake,often soaked in water and eaten as an elementary beverage or stirred into a thick pudding and eaten with soup)
>porridge(cassava boiled in a sauce stew,judiciously garnished with seasoning,peppered chilli and minced meat)
>fries and chips(fried cassava,artfully stained with onions and powdered pepper)
>cassava can also be cooked in salty water and dressed with fried egg for consumption.
>cassava is a rich source of vitamin A and C; making it a highly recommended food by medical health experts globally.

Shaka remains the greatest African king of all time in history. Like it or not. You don't have to go to internet to learn about Shaka. The world at large has been educated about Shaka from high schools.
http://answersafrica.com/african-kings.html

Greatest king indeed,I didnt learn about Shaka from any school and frankly,no one gives a damn about him.I only stumbled upon his history while rummaging through the internet: upon all his perceived military genius,he left a legacy of slavery behind,how is that for being "great"?.
Warriors like Ewuare the Great who has his brass bust proudly displayed in the British museum,and Haile Selassie who has a sect of worshippers spreading across the carribeans.Where is Shaka's monument?

mzilakazi:
I will bet $1 trillion if you can ever give me any traditional African king that is more renowned than Shaka. Shaka never ambushed British,he defeated them fairly and squarely.

I present to you:
> Ethiopian General Ras Makonnen,the Shum of Harar,a prime Governor of one of the provinces of Abyssinia{Ethiopia}; this was the man who led an onslaught against italian invaders in the Battle of Adwa,decisively shattering the italian advance and pushing them back to Eritrea.
> Menelik II,Emperor of Ethiopia,who rallied the different rivalling factions of Ethiopia against the Italian imperialist advance in the horn of Africa.
> Haile Selassie I,(The man hailed as the King of Kings,Emperor of Ethiopia,Emperor of the World; last monarch of Ethiopia): I dont have to explain to you who Haile Selassie was.
> King Ewuare the Great of Benin,(Oba)Emperor of the Great Benin Empire that spanned from the coast of Togo to the bight of bonny; a renown warlord and sorcerer.
Who is Shaka?

mzilakazi:
That jaja would have ran and never be seen again if he met valiant called Shaka.

bwahahahaha....I laugh in dothraki.Shaka indeed; forgive me if I dont gulp down melodramatic tales about a spear-totting madman whose only most noteworthy adventures were ambushing british caravans and instigating baseless skirmishes.
Compare your belove Shaka with renown Nigerian warriors like Ewuare the Great who established the first dynasty of the great benin empire,Amina of Zazzau(Zaria) who captured walled fortresses and ruled the vast hausa confederacy for 35 years,or even the recent General Ogedengbe.

DieVluit:
And that has to do with the military, how? Glad to see you've finally accepted that you should abandon your arguments against civilians helping your military. Your only option now is to to talk about South Africa's police work. Shame on you. Shame on Nigeria.

lol,you are being petty.
Trained civilians "helping" a military to fight terrorism is hardly unheard-of in modern warfare,I can spew forth a litany of fine examples if you like,but that is besides the point.
Terrorism itself is a battle of civilian ideology,one of the gory phases of the clash of civilizations: it is a civilian fight,if the CJTF aids the army in repelling terrorists,it is nothing to be shameful about,it further serves as a show of strength and resilience of the Nigerian people,and a testament of our mastery of the military arts.

DieVluit:
I don't see you denying that the C stands for Civilian. All we are interested in is that civilians are helping your military.Shame on you.

Just like private security outfits are helping your police carry out its common duties.Shame on you.

DieVluit:
The C in CJTF stands for "civilian", thanks.

And the military itself is made of what?,reptilian aliens from mars?,isnt the military fundamentally an institution of civilians trained in the art of warfare?.

DieVluit:
The bold in your own post buries you.
So-called civilian fighters sanctioned by the military to help the military.Shame on you.

You think fighting a war is a simple banter of bullets and cannons?,no wonder you have quack engineers running MTN.
Even prior to the inception of BH into the NE,every local district has its own civilian watchguard that monitors against suspicious activities and aids the police in acquiring information and conducting investigations; after BH started violent activities,the civilian watchguards were seen as an asset by the military brass due to their familiarity with the local populace and activistic symbolism,therefore upon volunteering,they were trained and armed to enable them serve as a reserve infantry and mundane recoinaissance unit: many of them are even familiar with BH members,and they therefore provide the much needed information needed to master both the local terrain and treacherous personalities.

Ibro105:
You don't need to reply his post.
They will never learn and that is why everything is failing in South Africa.
CJTF are always on ground in their locality and they helped seriously in Adamawa.

Thank you my brother,more chilled orijin to your tumbler.
I sincerely cant fanthom what archaeological wilderness these southies were uprooted from.

magane:
so much for the strong military in Africa according to the pundits here

mr mugabe,must we continue repeating verbose rhetorics all the time.
CJTF is a military sanctioned militia,a volunteer force armed and trained by the military; it is not an ordinary mob of outraged hooligans whipped into a frenzy by tantalizing promises of money and bloodlust,as being depicted by the media.

mzilakazi:
Comedy as usual. Civilians are helping military men on their fight. This is humiliating indeed.

lol.I laugh in dothraki....let me educate you:
normal Nigerian civilians do not possess firearms,this is to say that those so-called "civilian fighters" are actually militarily sanctioned CJTF fighters,who were trained and armed by the nigerian army to serve as local strike teams instrumental in holding towns already liberated by the army,protecting isolated locations within the theatre of combat,and serving as a coordinated liason force between the military and the local populace.
The CJTF in an incorporation of the military itself,and is therefore a civilian detachment of our infantry force.
There is nothing humiliating about the CJTF confronting rogue terrorists,it happens everywhere in the world.

lionel4power:
it's seems you've given this a lot of thought....we are Africa's superpower no doubt about it but there are areas that needs strengthening.
power
health care
social welfare
infrastructure (most important)

like I said before Rome wasn't built in a day. we will get there.

Rome was founded by extremely ambitious men,men who saw an opportunity to make a small prosperous city into an empire that spanned 3 continents,men like Marcus Licinus Crassus,Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus,Gaius Julius Caesar,Mark Anthony,and Gaius Octavius Thurinus; our leaders seem to be contented in being a local champion,bowing and scraping to european countries without getting a whisker in return,lol,India even insulted us by brandishing peanuts under our nose in form of "foreign aid to Nigeria and other african countries".
I want a situation where instead of a fickle annual "India-Africa summit",we have a "India-Nigeria economic pact".
I know that we will get there.

lionel4power:
we'll get there brother.. it might take time but surely we will.
.
long live The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Indeed,we will.
Nigeria must unite the black world and bring about the era of negros.
Imagine what will happen if we can generate massive electric power and use it as one of our foreign policy reagents in Africa; If we can power Africa,then,a Nigerian president wouldnt be only a president in Nigeria,but an emperor of the black race.
The best way to gain leadership is by using the most obvious weakness of your target to propagate your own grand agenda,for the greater good of all.

Nigeria needs to start building a powerful military that can project power outside Africa in 20 years time; much emphasis should be placed on R&(acquisition of technology in strategic areas of automobile engineering,ballistics,aeronautics and marine engineering,steel and metallurgy,computer/cyber-technology,thermo-nuclear physics,general reverse engineering,advanced pharmaceutical research,bio-warfare and nanotechnology) and a stabilized TRADOC.
The military should have 5 national command and control centres(NW,NE,SW,SE and FCT central command); with equipments including fighter jets,missiles,tanks,logistics,helicopters,drones,advanced radars etc stationed in each zone under a single regional commander.
Recruitment should be strictly based on merit and skill should determine advancement in military hierachy,anyone without a B.sc and field experience should never be promoted beyond the rank of lieutenant.
We should look towards controlling trade activities in the south atlantic ocean in the near future.

Soon,we will be among the top 10 countries in the world.
Much emphasis need to be laid on power,military and diplomacy.Africa suffers from acute power shortage,if in the next 20 years,we can build our power generation capacity over 150,000MW,we will power Africa and seize the continent as a neo-empire.

Msauza2:
Just like Botswana for Batswanas, Mozambique for the Shangaanis; and Lesotho for Basothos; and Swaziland for Swatis, we are calling for Biafra for the Igbo people.

Multi-tribal coexistence is what makes Nigeria unique in the world.There is no point destroying it.

Msauza:
Those are just only petty talks. Let Igbo people rule among themselves and you must stop acting like a sooth sayer.We will cross the bridge when we get there.
Biafra will just be a country like any country that has its citizens married to other nations outside as well as having properties and businesses outside. Does Nigeria today not having its citizens married to other nations outside and even having businesses as well as property?Those who have intermarried will remain with their foreign wives in SA,Nigeria,Ghana,etc.So is that a problem?

The Igbo people love complaining.
54 years ago,the British gave power to the hausa people,which prompted a hausa political aristrocracy lording over the federation,even calling Nigeria "an estate of our father,uthman dan fodio",and viewing political positions as their birthright.
But today,the yoruba people have attained political and social superiority over all other tribes.
Complaining solves nothing,take power into your hands.

Msauza:
That's why we Igbos do not want to associate with stupidd people like you. We want self I determination so that next time when we visit Enugu in Biafra we should do so with pride.

Your father has poisoned your heart with baseless propaganda; saddling his son with the ideological burden that lead him to his failure as a youth.
Do you even know what Biafra signifies?,what type of leaders will biafra have; Godswill Akpabio?,Diezani Alison Madueke?,Pius Ayim?,Ike Ekweremadu?,or David Mark who ruled as senate president for 14 years without benefitting either Nigeria or his region?: do you want biafra to spend another 45 years suppressing military coups and ethnic unrest,building its democracy for the scratch?
How will biafra fund itself?,or do you also plan to annex the niger-delta oil fields,as well as the gulf of guinea?,what about igbo people who have intermarried with other tribes?,what about their businesses all over?,or do you plan to annex lagos too?.lol. hahahaha..

Msauza:
The English and broke away from Nigeria seven years after independence and Nigeria used imperialist forces to reclaim it.

#BiafraMustComeBack. The Igboland our treasure. Our promised land Canaan.

Biafra indeed.

Msauza:
The English and broke away from Nigeria seven years after independence and Nigeria used imperialist forces to reclaim it.
#BiafraMustComeBack. The Igboland our treasure. Our promised land Canaan.

You know not what you speak of.
Your leader,ojukwu,fled to cote d'ivoire after losing the succession war,leaving behind a disillusioned army of rebels and a starved nation; that tells you the calibre of leaders that propagated the dubious idea of a sovereign state of biafra.If he had stood his ground and perhaps,even died for his cause(like hitler,napoleon and others did),he would have been a matyr and biafra would have been in existence today.
As it is,60% of educated igbo people do not want biafra; they understand that succeding from Nigeria would only spark another vicious cycle of socio-political flunctuations range from the military occassionally seizing power to greedy politicians inciting violence between minority clans.
Biafra would have to relearn democracy.

Amen to that; if you did your best,then God is gonna certainly do the rest.

Elect/elect engine

Thats are nice course,if you have a high jamb and post jamb score,your admission is assured.
The first list was probably 60% remedial admission,the second list will capture more of utme conventional applicants.

Room mate(male) needed for an apartment{room,kitchen,toilet and bathroom} at marck junction,oke odo.
Price: N60,000 (N30,000 per person)

DharmyYinks:
Okay sir..wich dept re u?

Microbiology.
What course did you apply for?

DharmyYinks:
lol..abi oo. If u lik alias..u wil like "person of interest".

I'll check it out at my leisure.

DharmyYinks:
lol..amen
Bout d merit list..I tink dats a dead name camouflaging an actual life occurrence.In Unilorin derz merit list just connection list.
Afta she was fired...dey work on some stuffs..buh d major one was rambaldi(cnt rememba d spelling) artifact..d knowledge dat culd lead to immortality. At d end...Sloane got it..bcam immortal..Jack sacrificed his life in order to trap Sloane and simultaneously saving Sydney. Sydney was saved jack died n trapped Sloane in a cave(a big rock pinned him down making him immobile). D end!

Dont be discouraged my friend,I myself got admitted last year strictly by merit.
Unilorin is probably the least biased university in Nigeria.
Anyways,I didnt finish watching Alias 4,I got to the point where sidney bristow discovered that her sister works for the CIA and her KGB mother tortured and interrogated her after capturing her.
Sloane seem obsessed Rambaldi's artifacts,lol,the man even turned the SD6 to his personal treasure hunting militia.

agaugust:
Egypt is too powerful for any country that is not a major world power.
About 200 F-16 jets, 24 Rafale jets, 50 Apache helicopter gunship, 9 AWACS aircraft, 1,000 Abrams tanks and 30,000 armoured vehicles, artillery and missile launchers, dozens of missile armed frigates, corvettes, torpedo armed submarines, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and 1.5 million soldiers.
Who can challenge Egypt today? Even Israel is careful with today's Egypt.

True,however,I disagree.
Israel has almost twice the size of the Egyptian air fleet,boasting more upgraded fighter jets than the Egypt's poorly maintained aircrafts.
Israel managed to invade Egypt's air space and crush the Egyptian airforce in the pre-emptive airstrike of the 3 day war,and they can do it again.
Egypt has no missile technology(only purchasing ready made missiles) or advanced military industrial complex comparable to that of Israel.
Egypt certainly do not have up to 30,000 armoured vehicles.

DharmyYinks:
Wel am a fresher by faith...lol..I get ur description...I watch dos types too buh I kinda connect more wit d ones I previously described. Der re stil some reasonable sci fi films nt based on alien or celestial rebellion...films lyk fringe(tho dis is ali2 old), alias, person of interest, scorpion - am currently watching dis one..I tel u..u wil lyk it..no romance or stuff just pure science n detective scenes(true life inspiring story).

Fresher by faith; I pray you will soon start complaining about harsh lecturers and lengthy notes.lol.
If you made above the required cut-off marks,then be rest assured of your admission; the magic required to obtain admission into unilorin is simply to score a very high percentage in post-utme(70-99%).
It is mostly by merit.
Alias is one of my best sci-fi movie series,that arvin sloane man is super amazing,the last season I watched was season 4 when sidney bristow was "fired" from the CIA and covertly transferred to APO.

DharmyYinks:
lol...wetin man go do naa. I enjoy science,intellectual n all dis abstracts n detective movies etc not to talk of thriller novels...I tend to copy der acts sumtyms.
Am sure u do too..lol

lol,I do too,are you already a student of unilorin?,I would very much like to meet you.
Though,I'm more into epic fantasy novels and movies(like game of thrones,rome,borgia,spartacus,vikings,baek dong soo,faith etc..),I also enjoy intellectual/detective genres,with passive interest in occasional sci-fi plots that make sense(few of them seem to make much sense these days,its either the stereotype alien invasion of planet earth or a celestial rebellion that pitts angels against humanity; these are simply recycled plots).
Thrillers are the best.

jln115:
Jap i definitely get what your saying mate, being diversified obviously has its advantages, but come war time, i feel being self sustainable is your greatest weapon....and in this regard Israel comes out tops between the two!!

Of course!,it is non-negotiable that Israel has the strongest military force in the middle-east.
They have the most advanced military industrial complex in the arabian sub-continent,owing to years of joint R& programmes with many of the world's most technologically advanced nations.
Isreal has both ICBM(missile) and nuclear technology,coupled with exotic technologies like AESA,submarine and aeronautics.

jln115:
You pretty much hit the nail on the head mate! Although I do feel Israel isn't any more dependent on Western Equipment than Turkey is.

Very correct,however,the turks have a more diversified western and even eastern technology acquisition,Israel seem to be overly fixated on US technology.
