afroniger: I'm sorry but you come across as being pained by this news. Why? The envoy was clear in her submission. If you have contrary data to prove her wrong do you care to share it with us?
BiniShrine: Gory picture attached please.
Doctors in the house pls come to my aid.
Has this gone beyond bed sore?
Is there any hope for my dad to get healed?
Is there a remedy for the wound on us back to get healed again?
Is this beyond medical prognosis?
Should we look for alternative?
Please mod do the needful.
meilleur: I AM LOSING MY MIND, KINDLY ADVISE. I am a doctor and corper, posted to one of the military hospitals in Lagos. I was actually pregnant b4 service and few months in service, I was delivered of a baby. I was made to observe my maternity leave and I resumed this January but ever since resumption, it has not been easy. I returned this Jan to meet a newly posted military boss (doctor) who hasn’t made life bearable for my daughter and I I was initially taking my baby to work, but as a baby, she is susceptible to infections of all kinds. I opted to take her to a day care. I worked 8am to 2pm before this new boss, but now, 8am to 4pm. And two weekends in a month, I do ‘weekend call’ which makes the matter worse, for such a week, I practically have few hours to spend with my baby and the government is talking of 6 months exclusive breastfeeding. I met with another LGI who said corpers were not meant to do calls. I don’t need all time off work, all I need is my normal 8am-2pm, Mon to Fri I was doing and I will manage to cope without complaining. I thought NYSC promised married and nursing mothers a better treatment, if not, I would have waited till this yr, now that I am even 30. My concern is my baby, she is growing seriously lean by the day, she lacks attention and my boss doesn’t care. She has had persistent rashes and big boils for over a month she resumed day care and its totally driving me crazy. I went to see my Local govt inspector to complain only for him to chicken out just because a military woman lambasted him on phone, leaving me to my fate. If something bad happens to my 5-month old daughter, NYSC wld say, "but why were u silent?" It’s a military setting and really don’t know the process of lodging complaints. My boss seems to be a sadist, maybe not, but she has really never been nice to me. A scenario; My baby was hot overnight and I felt I needed to watch her a little before dropping her at the day care, and I felt I needed to inform my boss. I called her, no response, sent her a text message of late coming, she didn’t respond only for me to get to work and she said all sorts. Her own grown child fell ill, she took the day off. If this is what NYSC is all about, it is seriously not worth it! I have 2 months to complete NYSC, but I can’t help seeing my baby in this condition. Even at work, I lose focus. Can u imagine what a doctor out of her senses can do?? Its tearing me apart!! Am I taking it too personal or the treatment should be fairer? I am literally losing my mind and nobody is fighting my course. WHAT DO I DO?
sista pls take heart. u have less than 2months.
the day fire arms is legalized in this country I pity the army and police
Vikkie14: Ah! Wetin i do now? I don stir dem hornet nest ooo, i'm so so afraid now. Yeah! SSS and Nemesis are coming for me... How do i get outta this now? Oga please nah. Rubbish. I believe that's how you want me to feel.
I SHALL BE WAITING for you and your goons. Kindly also inform your buddy in NIA and you might be needing the service of NASDRA as well.
abiodunalasa: I av bin a sideliner on this thread since 2015...and FYI u just break sword with a Lieutenant in the Nigerian Army Mechanised Infantry Division, Kaduna.
I will now call my friends in the NSA and DSS to help me dig u up, follow ur digital footprints and deliver to me ur most vulnerable moment...and then I will come get u wherever hell hole that might be, and when I come you will be sorry !!!
If u have anybody in NDA ask them about "Nemesis" Charles Company set of 2012... You don't know what is coming for u
hehehehehehehe.wetin com happen if u like call CIA massob or even BHT. u are a shame to the Nigerian military.
Bishop1monte: [color=#770077][/color]we celebrate thiefs in Nigeria lalasticlala come and see the people who have looted us dry and are still being celebrated.

Henry240: REPLACEMENT OF ELECTROLYTE IN BATTERY OF F-7NI FIGHTER AIRCRAFT
19. The F-7Ni aircraft is a fighter aircraft employed in deep interdiction role in the Northeast. Among the challenges faced in the operation of the aircraft was the maintenance of the Airborne Alkaline Batteries supplied by the Original Equipment Manufacturer. The battery had a service life of one year and shelf life of 2 years, making its durability very poor. The battery also required regular charging and topping of its electrolyte, which had to be procured from overseas. The impression given by the manufacturers was that the electrolyte had special additives and could neither be tampered with nor sourced locally. Meanwhile, the corrosive nature of the electrolyte made it difficult to import, as shippers were always reluctant to ship it thereby leading to increased aircraft downtimes.
20. To resolve the problem of electrolyte, which rendered most of the batteries un-useable, the Nigerian Air Force commissioned a Research and Development Team in collaboration with the Benue State University, Makurdi. The research team was able to successfully produce a replacement electrolyte for the F-7Ni aircraft batteries. It is gladdening to note that we do not import electrolyte for the F-7Ni aircraft batteries again.
PRODUCTION OF ANTI-SKID TEST BENCH FOR ALPHA JET AIRCRAFT
21. For some time, the Nigerian Air Force had been experiencing challenges on the anti-skid system of the Alpha Jet aircraft, which is another platform that is actively engaged in the counterinsurgency operations in the Northeast. The anti-skid system is connected with the braking system of the aircraft and would usually result in the grounding of the aircraft, if faulty. A major challenge, before now, with rectifying anti-skid related snags on the aircraft is the lack of a test bench. Ideally, test benches are used to confirm the functionality of a system that has been repaired prior to installation on the aircraft. However, the Nigerian Air Force was being compelled to test the anti-skid system in situ thereby sometimes inadvertently damaging other components on the aircraft.
22. Towards resolving the anti-skid related challenge on the Alpha Jet aircraft, the Nigerian Air Force collaborated with Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Ahmadu Bello University and University of Maiduguri. Resource persons from these institutions alongside their Nigerian Air Force counterparts were able to design and produce a test bench for the Alpha Jet aircraft anti-skid system. Today, our challenges with the anti-skid system of the aircraft have become part of our history.
PRODUCTION OF BRAKE PADS AND RIVETS FOR ALPHA JET AIRCRAFT
23. There was a dearth of Alpha Jet aircraft brake assemblies owing to the closure of the production lines abroad. I then directed the Aircraft Engineering Branch to collaborate with indigenous brake manufacturers to seek a lasting and home-grown solution to the challenge. Eventually, the Nigerian Air Force partnered with the Innoson Group of Companies, which readily agreed to use the Company’s equipment to overhaul the Alpha Jet aircraft brake assemblies by using the MB-339 aircraft brake pads. A total of 8 brake assemblies were successfully overhauled through this process.
24. The Nigerian Air Force has since signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Messrs Innoson, which has invested in the production of brake pads and rivets needed to overhaul the Alpha Jet aircraft brakes. The company is now able to mass produce the needed Alpha Jet aircraft brakes. With this, we are sure of getting the required brakes at an affordable price, right quality and in a timely manner, having involved an indigenous company. The Nigerian Air Force and the company are already exploring the possibility of producing brakes for other aircraft types on the inventory of the Nigerian Air Force.
MANUFACTURING OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE
25. The modern trend in military aviation is the employment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in various missions. Not to be left behind, the Nigerian Air Force, through its “Optimising Local Engineering” initiative, was able to manufacture an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The prototype Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, named GULMA, was designed and developed for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Operations solely by Nigerian Air Force officers. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle produced, can remain airborne for 8-10 hours flying at an altitude of 10,000 feet and cruise speed of 55 knots which is about 102 km/hr.
WEAPONISATION OF COMBAT AIRCRAFT
26. Through indigenous efforts, the Nigerian Air Force has bolstered its Research and Development initiatives in the area of Armament Technology. These initiatives have led to major breakthroughs that have impacted positively on the Nigerian Air Force counterinsurgency operations in the Northeast. Notable among the efforts toward self-reliance in the field of armament are:
a. Weaponization of 3 x Alpha Jet aircraft whose weapon systems were reconfigured locally to carry not only the Western bloc rocket launchers but also Eastern bloc rocket launchers.
b. Weaponization of the 3 x EC-135 civil helicopters. Another weaponization programme that was successful is shown on the screen.
Slide and test fire of armed and re-roled basic jet trainer L-39ZA aircraft with rockets and canons would be shown here.
DELIVERABLES
27. There are other ongoing Research and Development projects in the Nigerian Air Force, in collaboration with various local organizations while others are planned for the future. The projects include: a. Production of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles through the use of indigenous technology for Nigerian Air Force operational use. b. Production of a prototype multi-role aircraft. c. Reverse engineering on most armament and associated equipment. d. Manufacturing of aircraft spares through indigenous technology. e. Design and production of a bullet resistance vest. f. Capacity development for rapid runway repair.
28. We are mindful of the fact that the success of these ongoing and future Research and Development projects would depend a lot on the commitment of our personnel and our various partners. Nevertheless, the significance of political support cannot be overemphasized. We therefore solicit a continuation of the support, which the Federal Government has been so generous in giving. CONCLUSION
29. The various feats achieved by the Nigerian Air Force through indigenous Research and Development efforts in collaboration with various Nigerian organizations and tertiary institutions have no doubt impacted positively on aircraft availability for diverse air operations, particularly in the ongoing counterinsurgency operations. Besides, the local innovations are assisting the Service to overcome total dependence on foreign vendors thereby reducing cost of equipment acquisition and maintenance. Herein lie the benefits of innovating locally in partnership with relevant stakeholders.
30. I therefore seize this opportunity to appreciate the numerous partners of the Nigerian Air Force, particularly our universities and polytechnics, in its quest for technological advancements and local innovations. I would equally like to commend their sense of patriotism, commitment and enthusiasm. At the end of this madness in the Northeast, the names of our partners will be written in gold for their contribution in making the Nigerian Air Force to fly. We will not rest on our oars as we forge ahead with other ongoing and future Research and Development projects towards the development of the Nigerian Air Force and the Nation at large. We remain confident in the tremendous support we receive from President Muhammadu Buhari and as such, we are fully committed to bequeathing to the Nation, a technologically driven air force with capabilities to excel in the 21st Century. Thank you

Eggs are another kind of food that the Chinese have successfully counterfeited.
These eggs are unusually larger and rougher on the surface.
When they are broken, there is no sign of chalazae i.e. the liquid that holds the egg yolk together.The yolk quickly mixes with the egg white when broken and the fake egg yolk is deeper yellow in color.
These eggs are chemically manufactured and highly toxic to consume. While the shell is made of calcium carbonate, the inside is made of allum, gelatin, calcium chloride and other chemicals plus water and food coloring.
Ingesting calcium chloride from these fake eggs can cause liver disease while benzoic acid can be harmful to the brain and nerve cells
At the stage the stage the chinese are going, the earlier we bann everything China made and start breeding our own chickens, the better for us all
OGA @SEUN pls u have to do something about fake news.
ActivateKruger: We are not interested in attacking Nigeria or any country, the list is to show you how much firepower can be projected to your airspace because you seem to think we lack the capabilities.
Without a host country, we can still project
- 5 Rooivalks + 1 EW Oryx (on the SAS Drakensburg and the Valour Class Frigates) - 128 Umkhonto SAMs (Minimum) - 32 ship-to-ship missiles (Minimum) - 20 Air to Air Missiles (Minimum)
To any costal country including yours... Do you wish to know how much damage that could do?
yes I would like to know.
u will be surprise wot our response would like.
if ur powerful n innovative white rulers couldn't do it den .na now una wan try am.
wen we hit u wot happened to chad will b child's play
