AbujaBoss:
Capital Oil and Gas boss, Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has come out with some pretty ideas which he believes can transform Anambra State into a major commercial hub of sub-Saharan Africa. The billionaire businessman, who recently decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling All Progressives Congress with an undeclared aim of tapping from the federal might towards achieving success in his state’s upcoming gubernatorial election revealed these policies during an interactive session with some folks with free time whom he had gathered at his country home in Nnewi.

“We are blessed with the ideas that can replicate the Chinese type of economic recovery here in An­ambra State if government understands its roles in commerce.”
Mr Uba said.

“It is not just about collecting tax but to create commercial enhancement policy relationship between it and business owners.”
He continued.

“With government partnership with the traders and other business owners in the state, we can create a thriving local economy in Anam­bra State that will make it a commercial hub in Sub Sahara Africa.”
He added.

He was also of the opinion that Anambra should stop waiting for monthly federal allocation as the state is capable of building a strong and self-sustaining economy on its own.

“We as a state must get ambition toward enhancing our economic potentials by partnering with the traders in our state.”
He said.

“The 21st century is not a century for lazy sub national governments, rather a century that beckons on states to build a thriving local economy. You can’t grow commercial activities in any territory where the traders or investors are not making profit, however attracting business to the state is not enough, but making policy that will reduce the cost of doing business in the state and creating profit margin that will encourage business expansion which will in turn aid our economic recovery. Without creating map for commercial activities, we will remain stagnant economically.”
He added.

He was also full of praise for the Igbo race, describing them as people endowed with sagacious business know-how who can rival the Chinese people in doing business if only they had the support of their government.

“We are the only black race that can mimic the Chinese style of doing business but unfortunately our business players do not get government support like that of their Chinese counterpart.”
He asserted.

“If I have the opportunity to govern Anambra State, I will not just replicate but internalize the Chinese model of commerce here in Anambra State.”
He promised.

All through his speech he repeatedly talked about government partnering with traders to build a thriving economy, and that sounded sweet. And he severally made a model out of the Chinese way of doing business like it is the best thing since vegetable soup, and that also sounded sweet. But Mr Uba never explained to his audience what exactly is the Chinese way of doing business and why it should be replicated in Anambra. And he made no attempt at telling the good people of Anambra that the Chinese socialistic way of doing business which he so much wants to replicate does not encourage the government pumping money into the hands of so-called business players in the name of partnership, rather it encourages the government spending its money on building institutions that can absorb its working populace.

Knowing that China is the fastest growing major economy in the world, he probably was only interested in convincing his audience that the Chinese government must be splashing their business players with hyper-inflated contracts, and Anambra will thus grow like China if Anambrarians elect a governor who will share the state’s resources among select billionaires. Or he just wanted to bamboozle Anambra people into believing that Anambra can become China if he is made governor, without he himself knowing how China became China.

Who knows? Anambra might become the China of Africa if Anambrarians start doing business like the Chinese, but what Mr Uba is proposing is clearly not the Chinese way of doing business.

And somebody who doesn’t even know the Chinese way of doing business can’t make Anambrarians to start doing business like the Chinese.

I have noticed this on the outside world a couple of times but I never knew it relates to the online world!

We are aware of the new nairaland girl (jessicaseth) and how pretty she is. Following her on Instagram already

But it looks awkward and disgusting seeing other girls hate on her already.

Girls like
Berlynn
Benita27
victorious001 (this one even changed her dp because she was insulted and she feels threatened by Jessica )

And so much more.

What might be the Reason behind this hate? Do they feel the girl is a threat to their toasters and attention? No lies she is getting the attention on nairaland so far with 48 likes on her dp already in few hours of being here on nairaland. God knows how many Pms she have waiting for her

CONS OF BEING A PRETTY GIRL.

So what are your thoughts?

because she poses as a threat in a scarce overstretched small market

Russia has said that the fifth generation fighter aircraft (FGFA) program that is being planned with India would be a 'completely new aircraft' and is not linked to Moscow's own new generation fighter, the Sukhoi T 50. In a detailed discussion, Russia's largest state holding company in the defence sector, Rostec has said that it is worrying that faster progress has not been made by the Indian side to finalise the project.

Russia is keen to differentiate the Indian project with its ongoing T 50 fighter jet program. "The Indian FGFA is not a copy cat of the T 50, it will be a new aircraft that will also have some technologies from the T 50. If India had wanted the T 50, we would not be working on a new aircraft (FGFA) program," Kladov (Director, International Cooperation, Rostec) said.

negotiations r now happening on Indian rights to IPR of FGFA or any of its derivatives and share from all possible exports either from Russia or India.

India lost a great deal when Indian contribution/investment to SU30MKI had gone waste when all the subsequent variants of SU30 which Russia sold and which were based on the experience of developing SU30MKI did not help India gain any monetary benefits.

so this time India will make sure all ends r tied before committing to joint development of FGFA.

the russians must be high on Volka.
why the u-turn.
every detail on the FGFA places it as a version of PAKFA.
the Russians are really confused

DARE (a indian govt. company) developed AESA based 16 ELEMENT LINEAR AND 32 ELEMENT PLANER ARRAY and related sub-systems for FGFA & AMCA 5 gen fighter aircrafts.

looks like India is following Russian footsteps , they have decided to distribute the AESA arrays throughout the aircraft frame just like the russians did with T50 in addition to the primary AESA radar.

but the American analysts said the wing L band radar,makes the PAFKA less stealth.
so how will u by pass that.

Risks also exist for Ukraine's nuclear power plants, the analyst warned.

"Nuclear plants cannot work without an external power source, so there is a possibility that their nuclear units will have to be temporarily stopped. The threat of power cuts can cause serious accidents, so they will need time to disconnect them. But I hope that we do not get to that point."

Do Know What Happened On Feb 13th 1976?

Friday the 13th, particularly when it occurs in February, is deemed a very unlucky day in Western superstition. For certain, a lot of people in the Europe and America have come to believe the day holds a lot of ill luck. Hollywood has even produced horror film franchises based on the theme. The superstition like many others, have been strengthened by individual claims of some ill event like a sack, divorce or accident happening to them either on a February 13th or a Friday the 13th. The word, friggatriskaidekaphobia, meaning, the fear of Friday the 13th derived its origins in Norse mythology.

Despite insufficient proof to support the ill-fated day, Friday, 13 February 1976 sticks out in Nigeria’s history as a day that brought a string of bad fortune to many in Nigeria. Nigeria’s Head of State was brutally assassinated on his way to his office on that fateful day. His unescorted Mercedes Benz car was riddled with bullets killing all four passengers including General Murtala Mohammed.

Luck also ran out on the perpetrators of the coup as it was botched by troops loyal to Mohammed’s regime. Buka Dimka, his sponsors and accomplices were summarily rounded up and shot in a firing squad weeks after the coup.

The most tragic tale from this Friday the 13th saga was the erroneous arrest and execution of one Col. A.D.S Wya for complicity in the coup. At the time of his arrest, Colonel Wya had been the Commander of the Corps of the Artillery and an accomplished wartime hero. His story is most unfortunate because his British wife had sought even the assistance of her home government to prove her husband’s innocence to no avail. In the end, Wya was executed. Col. Wya among a host of other officers and men were later exonerated from plotting and participating in the Dimka coup. But it was now too late. Having lost all hope and sensibility, Mrs. Wya drove into a train in Kaduna killing herself and her four children. Col. Way’s disconsolate younger brother equally committed suicide at the demise of his brother.

Indeed Friday, February 13th 1976 should never be forgotten in Nigeria

CONTRACTOR ABANDONS N37M AIRPORT HANGAR, ABSCONDS AS SENATE THREATENS ARREST

A mild drama ensued at the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology Zaria this week when the Senate Committee on Aviation, led by its Deputy Chairman, Senator Bala Nallah, went on oversight to the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) only to find that a contractor, Mushaj Farah Nigeria Ltd., had absconded after receiving thirty seven million naira (N37m) meant for the completion of the colleges’ third hangar project.

Rector and Chief Executive of the college, Captain Abdulsalami Mohammed, gave a brief presentation of the challenges of the college since its establishment in 1964, stressing that some of them include the non release of funds meant for projects within the college.

He also identified other problems such as fluctuating exchange rate for dollar denominated projects, non-availability of foreign exchange, high cost of Aviation gasoline (AV GAS 100LL), inadequate number of instructors and personnel, insufficient office space for staff, cafeteria and hostel accommodation for students of the college, lack of equipment for instrument flight training and absence of runway lights for night flying and security of college premises because of a lack of perimeter fencing which has led to encroachment of the college land.

Mohammed said the challenges are affecting operations of the college but however disclosed that in the midst of all these the college had tried to be optimistic thereby recording several gains.

Captain Mohammed said that in 2016 alone, 716 students graduated from the college offering 44 courses in the various fields of aviation technology and three hundred and ninety-five students are still enrolled in twenty-nine courses.

He also disclosed that several projects have been completed such as establishment of an airfield lighting workshop, provision of infrastructure for aircraft piston overhaul, provision of a water treatment plant, provision of airfield advance guard security equipment and successful completion of several international certifications.

Five members of the committee which paid the visit; Senator Ben Murray-Bruce representing Bayelsa east, Senator Mohammed Lafiagi representing Kwara North, Senator Rilwan Akanbi representing Oyo South, Senator Ahmed Ogembe representing Kogi Central and Senator Bala Nallah, all commended the school for a job well done.

They however maintained that the 53 year old institution should be upgraded to meet 21st century challenges so as to be able to compete with its counterparts globally.

Senator Na'Allah criticized the absence of key infrastructure especially runway lights which he said that had they been installed within the last fifteen years, they would have saved the nation millions of dollars in foreign exchange.

They committee which visited several ongoing projects within the school premises were incensed upon realization that the school’s third hangar project had not been completed, Senator Nallah threatened the arrest of the contractor upon realization that he had been mobilized with about thirty-seven million (37M) naira and had only performed a job valued at about eleven million (11M) naira.

The college principal architect said all efforts to get the contractor back on site had proved abortive.

The committee finally agreed that if a one week ultimatum given to the contractor was not honored, he would be reported to the economic and financial crimes commission for due prosecution and full refund of the sum.

After the visit at the college of technology, the committee proceeded to the Kaduna International Airport to assess the ongoing repair works at the airport.

Senator Ben Murray-Bruce commended the contractor for a job well-done but appealed to the Ministry of Aviation for prompt release of funds so that the job can be completed within the next two weeks as promised by the contractor.

Other projects at the Airport such as the computerized landing system and painting of the runway were also assessed by the committee.

Henry24o:
The Yak-130 is currently the world's best trainer-light attack-aircraft. However I chose the L-15 which is also a sister aircraft of the Yak-130 and an excellent platform because it is unlikely that we would go for the Yak-130.

The L-15 is the next best thing to the Yak-130. We've been buying Chinese, F-7 and JF-17, so the L-15 or the FTC-2000 seems like the choices we might go for.


Zambian Air Force L-15

I think yak130 will be better if we are to go for an AJet replacement.
the yak130 is a successor to he Su25,
so its better we go for yak130 which can later be upgraded to an attack/cas aircraft
