frumentius: Speaking of medium-lift helicopters, in 2025 we'll have to replace our 39 Oryx. We missed a trick by closing the production line and selling the un-used Puma air frames which could've formed the base for Oryx2. As it is, our current Oryx is on par with the latest Airbus H225M. With budgets being as niggardly, we won't afford the H225M.
2 choices really: new Mil Mi-17s which we would have to modify for African conditions (as we did with the Puma); or used Black Hawks which we'd also need to similarly modify. Personally, I'd plumb for the slightly used carefully-chosen UH-60. you can go for Mi171 or Mi38 dey have similar capacity to your oryx |

jakeporeshenko: The Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer announced today, Oct. 16, a firm order for six A-29 Super Tucano light attack and advanced training aircraft from an undisclosed customer. The aircraft can be used for tactical and advanced training as well as light attack and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) missions. Deliveries will be concluded in 2018. Embraer lands firm order for six Super Tucano light attack and training aircraft 640 001Embraer's A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft (Credit: Embraer) After more than ten years in service, the A-29 Super Tucano has gained an excellent performance record: over 320,000 flight hours and nearly 40,000 combat hours. With more than 150 weapons configurations certified, the A-29 Super Tucano is equipped with advanced electronic, electro-optic, infrared and laser system technologies, as well as secure radio systems with data links and unrivalled munitions capacity.
Embraer's Super Tucano CAS & training aircraft has been scoring major sales successes during the last two years.
The most recent is most certainly the potential $593 mn FMS the DSCA approved in August 2017 for 12 twelve A-29s. According the DSCA, they will be used by Nigeria to combat the Islamist militia Boko Haram and other extremist groups, such as the Islamic State West Africa splinter group.
Ghana also announced intention to procure six new A-29 Super Tucano aircraft during Paris Air Show 2015.

benzion72: If you design and don't fabricate and produce to check degree of errors how do you proof the veracity of your design.
That is the flaw in our education you design as undergraduate, you design at post graduate and support your design with ordinary theorem and calculations without the practice and collect all certificate and brag as an engineer.
No wonder we import almost all machines and when they are faulty we cannot repair because we are design and theoretical engineers. its same with an architect and a building engineer. its not a flaw but the way they are boh design to work |

Lilimax: I am an industrial Chemist. In my office we do the same work with Chemical Engineers but our overall boss in my department is a Chemical Engineer  Again an Industrial Chemist may not be able to design but a Chemical Engineer can do that... u can't design ? as an applied chemist, some of my 300 & 400l has to do with machine designs but not fabrication. as a chemist we can design but not fabricate |

Danjuma827: Both are not the same. A chemical engineer is a professional who designs the machines used and ensures that there is 'safety' in the processes involved. He is like a mechanical engineer who has sound knowlege in chemistry. An ind. Chemist knows better the best way to combine chemicals to produce marketable products. A chemical engineer can work in any firm where an industrial chemist can work, but an industrial chemist might not be able to work in some firms where a chemical engineer is needed. then wots the difference between applied and industrial chemistry |
Business › Re: Compare Nigeria's Naira To Other African currencie and Be Shocked At The Result. by giles14(m): 9:08pm On Oct 15, 2017 |
Zenithpeak: I wanted to do an online transaction with an online fashion brand abroad. Of course, I always make sure I check the exchange rate before I place an order, to know how much I would be spending in naira.
As usual, after calculating the exchange rate, what I wanted to get was on the high side. I just became humble and cancelled the transaction.
I started thinking if the disparity between dollar and naira is so insane, what will be the exchange rate of the naira to the currencies of other African countries. I picked 25 random African countries and compared their currencies with the naira.
Before I started my findings, I felt only a few African countries could have stronger currencies than the naira but boy I was shocked and ashamed with what I came up with.
Check out the latest exchange rate of the Nigerian naira compared to some random African countries' currencies.
1. South Africa - 1 Rand = 26.28 Naira
2. Ethiopia - 1 Birr = 13.30 Naira
3. Ghana - 1 Cedi = 81.96 Naira
4. Gambia - 1 Dalasi = 7.60 Naira
5. Kenya - 1 Shilling = 3.48 Naira
6. Liberia - 1 Dinar = 3.05 Naira
7. Swaziland - 1 Lilangeni = 26.55 Naira
8. Tunisia - 1 Dinar = 145.90 Naira
9. Zambia - 1 kwacha = 36.7 Naira
10. Angola - 1 kwanza = 2.17 Naira
11. Lesotho - 1 Loti = 26.55 Naira
12. Libya - 1 Dinar = 262.77 Naira
13. Morrocco - 1 Dirham = 38.32 Naira
14. Madagascar - 1 Ariary = 0.12 Naira
15. Mauritius - 1 Rupee = 10.5 Naira
16. Malawi - 1 kwacha = 0.50 Naira
17. Mozambique - 1 Metical = 5.8Naira
18. Namibia - 1 Dollar = 26.55 Naira
19. Seychelles - 1 Rupee = 26.38 Naira
20. Sudan - 1 pound = 53.89 Naira
21. Botswana - 1 Pula = 34.60 Naira
22. Cape Verde - 1 Escudo = 3.82 Naira
23. Algeria - 1 Dinar = 3.18 Naira
24. Egypt - 1 Pound = 20.45 Naira
25. Eritrea - 1 Nakata = 23.52 Naira
The currencies of some worse economies in Africa have better value than the naira.
So the question is - Do you think Nigeria's naira is the weakest currency in Africa and the world at large and what is the way forward to strengthen the naira.

PrettyCrystal: A gallant Nigerian soldier identified as Adams Francis, has been killed after an ambush by Boko Haram elements in Borno state. The soldier was killed during a gun battle with Boko Haram terrorists as they tried to infiltrate a military outpost with improvised explosive vehicles and persons borne improvised explosive devices.
The soldiers successfully repelled the terrorists attack at their outpost from Yamteke axis of Gwoza Local Government, Borno State.
The brave troops also neutralised the terrorists, recovering several sophisticated weapons from the sect.
Several other Boko Haram terrorists were said to have escaped with gunshot wounds.

HungerBAD: Interesting.
My advice is simple. The parents rushing to pick up their kids from school, believing the military wants to inject their kids, should also enrol in the same school with their kids after all these drama.
It shows they not only lack common sense,but that they too like their kids,needs some formal kind of education.
What does the military stand to gain harming the citizenry?and just like i told somebody yesterday. You will think with the constant complaint about the Military in Nigeria, that it is only populated by the Northerners and that there are no other tribes inside.
Anybody that has lived close to a Military formation/base knows the military conduct these exercises to civilians from time to time. From free Vaccinations, to checking of BP to eye treatments and one time they even shared Condoms along the streets.
But no,Buhari is President and wants to kill all Southerners.
Some years ago. I think Goodluck Jonathan was the President then(i stand to be corrected), 84 Northern Kids were killed when a fake teething medication(MY PIKIN) was sold to their parents who gave their kids to consume.
A Yoruba man (Adeyemo) and an Edo man (Eromosele)were both convicted and sent to jail for it. I did not read anywhere that Jonathan was trying to kill Northerners, since the makers of the drugs are Southerners.
We should stop viewing everything this Government does as evil. It is not healthy for us.

You cannot, nobody can effectively predict ambushes.
Oga, you are making baseless, blanket, unfounded statements that simply do not have any basis on the reality of the situation on the ground in the NE. the Russian general was not killed as a result of ambush but shells fired from a howitzer. |
