There's nothing like hate here. A spade should be called a spade.
You're talking about wishing them to be fruitful, how will they reproduce? Even nature is against that. Had it been that your parents choose that way, I don't think you will be here saying this.
Again, I saw where you said that it's because of some sort of foreign religion, that's why we are against. Let me tell you, in normal African tradition before the white men came, if you try this they will stone you to death or banish you.

I thank God for Africa. We rejected this nonsense. If you want to join them, you can still go over there. I bet you, you will surely regret it someday.

How will they reproduce? You are making an assumption that must reproduce - Should that not be there choice to decide and how has that got to do with you? A lot of times we expect people to behave in some expected way without really considering if they want to. You know there are several ways to reproduce nowadays right and also there are children that needs a loving home.

You said call a spade a spade - who defines what a spade should be? Because something wasn’t the norm many years ago doesn’t mean it won’t change. Change is synonymous to nature and evolution is inevitable.

I think you need to revisit your African tradition properly. The idea that homosexuality is ‘western’ is based on western import – Christianity. True African culture celebrates diversity and promotes acceptance.

African culture is no stranger to homosexual behaviours and acts. For example, in my local language (Yoruba), the word for “homosexual” is adofuro, a colloquialism for someone who has anal sex. It might sound insulting and derogatory, however, the point is there is a word for the behaviour. Moreover, this is not a new word; it is as old as the Yoruba culture itself.

In the northern part of Nigeria, yan daudu is a Hausa term to described effeminate men who are considered to be wives to men. While the Yoruba word might be more about behaviour than identity, this Hausa term is more about identity. You have to look and act like a yan daudu to be called one. It is not an identity you can just carry. These words are neutral; they are not infused with hate or disgust.

In the Buganda Kingdom, part of modern-day Uganda, King Mwanga II was openly gay and faced no hate from his subjects until white men brought the Christian church and its condemnation. Though King Mwanga is the most prominent African recorded as being openly gay, he was not alone.

So please stop spreading hate and false information about the true African culture. Because the true African culture is one that celebrates diversity, promotes equality and acceptance, and recognises the contribution of everyone, whatever their sexuality.

It’s so sad how much hate we have for each other. Two men decided they love each other and went to get married but instead of wishing them a fruitful union and a blessed home, majority embark on insults on them.

Let’s not forget the male’s center of gravity his in is ass. Try it and see.

It’s so sad that we say people of the same gender being together is unacceptable because of some religion forgetting that the same religion we put on our head was brought to us by foreigners.

Why so much hate Nigerians? I thought love has no boundary and people should be free to choose who ever they want to spend their live without rebuke. We need to move away from this so called this is our culture - a culture that makes you hate your neighbours or stops the growth of a society needs to ne rethinked.

Change is inevitable and we have seen society that refuse to evolve will be left behind. It’s simple laws of nature. Many years ago, women were treated as second class citizen - No right to vote or do the things men could do but today we now know that’s not acceptable.

Let’s put our beliefs aside and think about how we can move forward. How do we solve oppression, fix hunger, address climate problems, build vaccines, eradicate cancer, provide cure for sickle cell patients and make the world a better place. Until we decide to do these together, we will always be a step behind and civilisation will leave us behind.

Do you have anything smaller than that, something you can use as a small storage box.
Possible size like : (150-200mm x 120-140mm x 40-60mm)

ghostofsparta:
It's funny how you all don't get my point. I remain adamant that no superpower flaunts, exhibit for sale the best of their best military technologies much less of the core knowledge behind it. The 'to deter and intimidate' logic Missy89 gave only applies to nation perceived to be militarily inferior to theirs and do take note that these militarily-weak nations who drool to acquire them don't even fit into the category that may pose as 'threat' much more of fitting into the definition of an "adversary" as HapyOne erroneously used. What's the sense in an adversary purchasing latest weaponry from their adversary. Why would you Missy89, a superpower want to sell to HapyOne (your adversary) unless he is perceived inferior to you militarily ? And if the both of you still chose to disagree with my opinion then the both of you fail to realize that your argument defeats the purpose of continual espionage among true adversarial nation. To validate my point further, I cite the Rosenberg case and trial, that incident alone reaffirms the common sense that no true adversarial nations or superpowers would be glad if the knowledge of whatever it is that gives them upper-hand falls into the laps of their adversary.

@ HapyOne
I was referring to the overall military weaponry (offensive and defensive; naval, air and land) when I asked And why do you keep judging from
fighter jets alone. I'm judging from all their
arsenal (both publicly known and undisclosed)
and defensive measures.

Back to the topic
@ Missy89
I don't care if they're 5th or 9th generation provided still all jet fighters are vulnerable. They can still be destroyed during any given mission, its missiles interceptable and there will forever be means by which their counter-measures can be beaten, hence I believe the solution is a perfect jet fighter which to me is any type that can cloak itself, and by cloaking I'm talking about a capability of operating at zero-visibility. With all available scientific advancement, their [military contractors] have been unable to achieve this, otherwise The Philadelphia Experiment wouldn't have being a disaster but I personally know how this is possible.

You guys may be quizzed to know that as seemingly powerful as these expensive aircrafts are, despite those latest hi-tech features and state-of-the-art components snoring inside them, with their super-sonic speed, all [jet fighters] can be made significantly less-threatening with the deployment of what I call an 'R.I.D.' system. Yeah, a RID will rid the sky off any aircraft. Be it an high-altitude, drone or civil, surveillance or reconnaissance, this fvcker doesn't discriminate, they're all going to free-fall, wherein lies demerit of a RID because humans on earth will be at great risk. All types of aircraft are susceptible to RID. The only protection an aircraft has against a RID blast is if its equipped with a cloaking system. The meaning of cloaking differs from concept to concept but that which is not only visually unidentifiable but that which is also undetectable by radar, is what I speak of.

Well I have no more comment about that.
Your suppose RID system sounds pretty interesting. Maybe you should share some light on it.
If you truly know about how a true stealth system is possible, why don't you throw up some demo? It could change a lot of things in the field of science and warfare.

BLINGZ88:
stealth, it is funny how Wey throw that word around like it is some kind of invisible clock, maybe for attacking a country with rotten air defence system like Nigeria nd most of middle east but stealth doesn't make a plane invisible cos the amount of heat that a jets engine gives away is astonishing, and with advanced low frequency radar, stealth doesn't have a chance, I just pray that the world won't have to confirm the superiority of aircraft through ww3

I think you miss the point though.
Well it depends on what you mean by stealth...A truly stealth jet as ghostofsparta said, that is a jet that is truly invisible will be immune to air defence system because it won't emit anything so radar won't see it. Well, such technology is years away now but it is possible.

Missy89:



Technology evolves. The 5th generation fighter jet for example are more advanced than the first fighter jets of world war one. It will continue to evolve and get better. that is why they will cost more because of R & D. Some of which is applied to civilian applications. Civilian airliners for example was copied from the bomber etc
Modern conventional warfare cannot be won without Air superiority anymore so countries will keep investing a lot of money on military aviation technology.

"The idea that showing you my best is not necessarily my best" is not always true. Most countries however do have export versions of their main conventional weapons ( they are usually cheaper and have less tech in them). Doesn't mean Huge military exporting countries are hiding all their best conventional weapons. Deterrence plays a large part of any country's security. Showing their cutting edge weapons alone prevents any adversary.

And by the way, exporting a large size of your weapon system doesn't mean the country buying it will be able to flex their muscles with you. Most of these arms sales comes with training. So if you buy Russian tanks for example, You are stuck with Russian tank tactics in other to get the full value. If Russia then decide to invade, The battle tactics is already predictable and Russia will win with superior training and tactics.

Woooo....You just said it all and I hope @ghostlfsparta will understand your own explanation.
You have to show your cutting edge weapons to prevent and intimate your adversary, one of the main reason North Korean is pursuing Nuclear weapons.
If I give you my best weapon doesn't mean you will beat me with it, don't forget I have the design and I know the limits of my weapon and you are just a user with no full details of it.

ghostofsparta:
I disagree, because I'm showing of my best so you can buy it doesn't necessarily implies that's my best, as a matter of the fact, common sense should tell you if you got my best, then what need would they be to claim high ground or flex muscle when in par ? And why do you keep judging from fighter jets alone. I'm judging from all their arsenal (both publicly known and undisclosed) and defensive measures, Those aircrafts are nothing but ultra-expensive piece of metal equipped with the latest upgrade of the same-old high-tech function, few innovation, my point is despite the widely held opinion that air-superiority paves the way for victory, I myself had long figured a way wherein the forces all these exorbitant military toys relies on to function can be disrupted remotely. Do you have a knack for fighter jet, if yes, then it may interest you and your likes to know that all fighter jets are incomplete and vulnerable with their usual shortcomings if they CAN NOT be made to have real 'stealth function' and by that I meant that capability to actually CLOAK itself both visibly whilst still undetectable by all types of radar.

Are you talking specifically for fighter aircrafts or you also including the likes of bombers and attack aircraft.
Well, am going to assume you are speaking for all.
You saying all fighters jet aren't complete isn't right I believe especially using stealth ability has the yardstick. All jets where designed for a particular function, some designed for stealth mission, others as just bombers, others for escort mission and several others.
A strategic bomber for example the Tu-95 bear doesn't need stealth for anything, that's why it always carry escort with it.
A normal attack aircraft might not need a stealth function to take out it's target, though having full stealth will be huge advantage because it's meant to encounter air defense and unlike true air to air fighter jets that have no business with air defense system what will they need stealth for.
Apart from stealth, their other things too like speed, maneuverability, small size, payload, and others.
The f-35s interesting enough can attack ground targets in areas with air defense without actually encountering the defense systems using some sort of laser guided missiles which can be released far away from the target thus avoiding the risk of air defenses system.
When you design something to a particular specs and it works then it's complete and not having a feature that wasn't consider as a requirement shouldn't make it incomplete.
For example the Microsoft Hololens is designed or meant to have a true argumented reality unlike other VR headsets but currently they haven't been able to achieve a sustainable auguented reality and if they release it out to consumers like that, then I believe it's incomplete.

Missy89:


Who started the Winter war of 1939 , Czechoslovakia invasion of 1968 , Invasion of Georgia in 1921 ,Invasion of Azerbaijan 1920 to name a few?

Lets take a look at Azerbaijan

The invasion of Soviet troops in Azerbaijan was carried out according to the standard Bolshevik scenario: local revolutionary committee raises real or "virtual" uprising of the workers and immediately turned for help to the Red Army. Under this scheme, operated for over 50 years - the invasion in 1956 in Hungary, in 1968 in Czechoslovakia, etc.

April 28 Baku Revolutionary Committee appealed to the People's Commissars of the RSFSR. However, the "aid" began to have a day earlier - The 11th Army, consisting of the 26 th, 28 th, 32 th Infantry Division and 2nd Cavalry Corps (. A total of over 30 thousand people) invaded the territory of Azerbaijan

http://militera.lib.ru/h/shirokorad_ab3/21.html

Hmm, That shite smells like "American style color revolution" / Crimea referendum

Am impressed.

ghostofsparta:


And from your statement about the US being the one who shows of the most, believe me when I tell you they just only reveal the ones they want the world to see, to have their appetites whetted so they can have a reason to keep purchasing, trying to reach, imitating to beat them thus perpetually driving the millitary-indutstrial complex back home in the US while at the same time driving Yankee's "hanker for war". If I show you a type 49 weaponry, I am doing that to wow you, have it in mind that I am already developing type 55 when type 50-55 are breathing somewhere.

If you were talking of the Isrealites I will totally not doubt what you were saying but the US...Nah, they have to show the world what they got. Especially in this era of unending arms race, people need to know what you got so they can buy from you. When the f-35s came out, you know how many countries asked for it. I don't believe the US have any jet higher than the f-35s currently locked somewhere else. People need to know the best you got that's the way you solve the arms race and pour fear into your rivals and even alies self. Why do you think the Russians send their most advanced jet to Syria because they need to sell it and show off its capability in real battle.
If you don't show off nobody will buy especially when you are a super power.

ghostofsparta:

Well, I used 'actually' which is 100% certainty while you used 'possibly' which is of a 70%-80% certainty, for which a 'may be' is 50% certainty, so the difference between what you think and what I know isn't much. And if you still disagree, let me tell you this - there was this clip about top 10 super tank based on different countries and US was usually 2nd or 3rd while Russia is always number, guess what, what people don't know is what I tell my friend when we argue this, Uncle Sam doesn't need to show off all its power including their most valuable arsenal. In Yoruba, there's a proverb that says "gbogbo aso ko la n sa si nu orun" go figure.

Well I appreciate the way you analyze things which I confess is quite brilliant of you.
About the ranking thing, US has always been number one most of the time....check military ranking sites and you will see what am saying here.
Well Uncle Sam doesn't need to show off but the reality is, out of the top 5 most powerful military nation Uncle Sam hasn't been the one that has showed up most...from it's high watery defense budget, aircraft carriers, stealth technology, Nuclear arsenal upgrade, the F-35s, mine hunting drones/ship and several others. I guess they are the one that show off here, remember the incident at the South China Sea about the unnecessary patrol....it was US showing itself.
I do understand your proverb.

ghostofsparta:

You don't need such preposterous comparison to provoke a response from me, you could have just asked who would fare better in military performances, between Africa and the US.

Am pretty sure you know who will win right.

ghostofsparta:
Point of correction, USAmerica has everything in superior over its rivals.

Was trying to avoid commenting but I couldn't resist this one.
America possibly have everything superior to others but I really don't think their so-called powerful Military is superior than others.
Since they have started their war against terrorism, they haven't really won anything up to date instead have caused more chaos...They took the fight to the talibans for 15 years, Al Shabaab, ISIS in Syria/Iraq and several others but instead of kicking them out those organization seems to be getting stronger. Remember the Vitenam war, they lost too.
Just compare their performances to the Russians and you see what am saying.

Even Nigeria Military performs better in war against terrorism than the Americans.

I think most people measure US army strength based on Hollywood and media propaganda.

I really don't understand why some people are believing that guy truly built that.....He just modify an existing hover board with wood abeg .

It's so painful that at this age a lot of us are pretty still ignorant and some people are actually saying it's the sign of the End time. End time ko Half time ni.
If that is real, it's probably as a result of genetics deformity and can happen to any animal.

Ok, so a few weeks ago I was on LinkedIn, and I saw a link to a video by Ted, about a program that could write poetry. The program could write it so well, it was indistinguishable from that of a human.

Link to the video below

https://www.ted.com/talks/oscar_schwartz_can_a_computer_write_poetry?language=en

Then a while ago, I saw a documentary on CNN about AlphaGo, a computer Program designed by Google DeepMind in London.

AlphaGo took on and defeated Lee Sedol, the World's top GO champion.

http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/15/11213518/alphago-deepmind-go-match-5-result

GO is a strategy based board game, considered to be way more complex then Chess.

These all got me thinking. A computer program that could write poetry and play Go Firstly, I thought of the enormous potential of this program, especially in the field of Engineering and construction, medicine, law enforcement, education etc. It really is cool

Then, I thought of some of the sci-fi movies I have seen, Terminator comes to mind, Could this be the point where AI becomes superior to Human Intelligence??

Then again, how disastrous could things get if this technology falls into the wrong hands?

What do you guys think?

Cc
Seun
Lalasticlala
Mynd44

Well you could be right about the possible negative consequence of this technology. With my knowledge of Machine Learning and Deep Learning we are way far off in building those things you see in Sci-Fi Movies so their is nothing to worry about here.

The day we fully understand how common sense works and successfully create a Artificial Neural Network representation of it then we can possibly create a truly intelligent machine. Well, I hope that will be possible it will be way computational expensive to achieve that.

No matter how smart a machine will be their will always be a kill switch, just like humans too have a kill switch. So relax and enjoy the technology why you can.

Why worry about what hasn't happened yet.

Please does anyone have idea?

www.khispa.com they sell DIY/electronics stuff and even offer prototyping service too

zikIPE:
please, where d'you get your electronic components at pocket-friendly prices?? I need a trusted dealer

You could also check this guys out www.khispa.com they sell DIY/electronics stuff and even offer prototyping service too but can't guarantee the pocket friendly price though

Dekatron:
Male to male jumper wire, I got for #450 per set. . Arduino Uno r3 with cable, #3000 . . . Except Ultrasonic sensor, most of the stuffs there are too expensive for the price. If I buy two UNO, thats 8000, and I will still add delivery fee o, unless you people won't deliver on time at all at all (I shop online, so I know. Don't look me one kind). . . . Anyway, if your Rapsberry pi isnt too expensive, I might just order from you. . . And also do you have Gear Head DC motors? Can get those & Rapsberry pi around. Reply ASAP


Sorry for my harsh words, but they are the truth.

Common guy, You need to understand that their are various version of Arduino Uno with different qualities.
I am pretty certain that the Arduino you bought is a pretty fake(clone) one that is why the cost is N3000, the real Arduino boards from Arduino itself is about N7,000 now.
So I think is a bit to unfair to say the guy stuffs are expensive, it could be though right.
By the way you could also check this guys out to: www.khispa.com they sell DIY/electronics stuff and even offer prototyping service too.
Is quite nice you use those things. kudos.

nysot:

Hello HapyOne,have you gone through our website yet.
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
Thanks

Yeah, the plans were not displayed on the site.
But it's okay will give a call to ask for that.

Angelou:
anti-matter is a hypothetical material (just like tachyons), and is highly volatile. when it come in contact with matter of any form it is presumed to be capable of vaporising it (even air). deployment of such substance in warfare will render the point zero uninhabitable....
it seems you read about anti matter in dan brown's angel and demons right?

Yeah, have read that book before.
Their is actually work on developing anti-matter particles at all these particles accelerators, but cost and technology is not their.
The Zero inhabitable thing is possible, because if matter mix with anti-matter nothing is left for example +2 -2 = 0
Some people believe that's what is happening at Bermuda Triangle, that there are some elements of anti matter there.

It will be a total destruction if such weapon is created. KO

For virtual office,it depends on the package you want.
Our website is www.boss-offices.com
I'm the Sales person,you can give a call for the price depending on the package you want after checking our website and tell them you are from Tomi. You can also call me for the price(s)
Presently,we do not have a location in Ikeja
For Virtual office you don't need to be physically present.
Thank you

Alright will check it out.

All these religious freaks self
This is just some basic genetic deformity, it happens every where even with humans.

Their is a weapon with the potential to be more powerful than Nuclear Bomb.
It's called an Anti-Matter Bomb, it's quite expensive and the technology is still lame. The basic equation governing the antimatter reaction is Einstein's famous E = mc^2, but, since a given mass of antimatter needs an equal mass of ordinary matter with which to react, this effectively becomes E = 2mc^2.

I believe a major war would be averted this year.
We have the Turks highly becoming stubborn, I hope they attack another Russia asset again.

Hello, interested in your virtual office and workstation.
What's the plan like, is it a membership sort of a thing and showing pictures won't be a bad idea.
What about a website, their should be a website right unless you operate has an agent.
What about consideration for ikeja location, do you have slots their too ?

MuhdG:
which did you major in uni control or power

No chance to major at BSc level so did both but "Control" related fields at higher degree.

Fulaman198:


You need to plan for the future and not for the now. We are moving into a time where things are becoming more technologically advanced. Whilst I do agree that Power System is important to learn (I think you should get some knowledge of it), you have to remember that things could rapidly change by the time you are 40. Then you will be telling yourself "Wow, I should have really studied Controls when I was in Uni."

Think about the history classes you were thought or heard off. If I had to sum up history in one sentence it would be: “Life gets better—not for everyone all the time, but for most people most of the time.” And the reason is ENERGY. For thousands of years, people burned wood for fuel. Their lives were, by and large, short and hard. But when humans started using coal in the 1800s, life started getting better a lot faster. Pretty soon we had lights, refrigerators, skyscrapers, elevators, air conditioning, cars, planes, and all the other things that make up modern life. Is Energy, yeah Energy that made all these possible.

Nigeria is Nigeria today because of that thing called Energy, If only we have steady and reliable Power System you know what will happen.

Just imagine, for a minute, life without energy.
You don’t have a way to run a laptop, mobile phone, TV, or video games. You don’t have lights, heat, air conditioning, or even be on Nairaland reading this comment. But, here in Nigeria I don’t need to imagine. That’s what life is like for us every day. But Just Imagine this....A Life with constant Energy.

Control will have it's place sure!! but Power/Energy will always be the determinate. You control nothing when their is no power, I guess I say this because am in both sector.

wealthpreach:
pls post your contact so ill reach you or mail me.

Maybe you should just start by posting about what you want to do instead of just saying you need a programmer or you could just go to freelancer.com and hire one yourself.
It's that simple.

Fulaman198:
First and foremost, things will get better. You guys must have patience in our fantastic leader Buhari.

Dear younger brother MuhdG, I would go with Controls engineering over Power Engineering. However, both are good to specialise in.

We are in a world where things are becoming more and more digitalised and tech-oriented world on a daily basis. Thus, I would say Controls is definitely the way to go. Keep up the great work MuhdG. I'm proud of all young Nigerians taking the time to study and practise Engineering.

You think so.
Do you think all your controls will work without energy. No matter how digitized or tech-oriented the world will be, power isn't negotiable.
So I guess Power Engineering is as important as the Controls.

Pheals:
Buhari this is made in Nigeria ... U didn't need oversee produce plane this one is ok ! After all ajala used bicycle !!

No ooo. These aren't close to a plane, it is not even a prototype self.
I think we should really start re-evaluating what we call made in Nigeria or else all sort of "junks" will be called "Made in Nigeria"

I believe their are a lot of ways to ask for funds from investors and others instead of publicizing your idea or product like that if it truly works.
Getting funding won't be a problem if what he claim is true. Their are a lot Angel Investors in Lagos, kickstarter is their too, TIL, seedstars, ideaHub, grants and several others.
Nice one though.

dabosuker:


Brother , am giving you a Drink, you idea about "witches , wizards & Winches"etc. ....they all could just be manipulating space time , a rare knowledge the rest of us are yet to have

I will like to call it a more advance science. Imagine what could not be done in decades ago, for example a plane that could make you fly if someone could do that centuries ago he or she will be called a witch or wizard but now such is possible and it is called science.

It is magic when we don't understand it but science when we do.
