I saw this boys being paraded by SARS at waterlines area this evening. With shots in the air

Were they alive then or is it their corpses being paraded?

iAmCharis:
Really? Can you share pictures of the said work?

Go to PHCH/NEPA head office in Marina, Lagos. Ben Enwonwu sculpted the Sango statue in front.

Santi222:
Nice one, Jay.... I don't know Lagos well, but I have friends in Mafoluku.... how do I get to tarkwa bay from there?

Or you go to Oshodi under bridhe, enter BRT to CMS. At CMS, enter boat to Tarkwa Bay.

Keep fooling yourself till eternity, so because we use nuclear materials in hospitals and in oil exploration your president now has the right to waste the country's resources in this harsh economic environment junketing round the world. Niger has the largest uranium deposit in Africa and mining and export started started many years ago, did you see their president there, or you think Niger doesn't have hospitals that use nuclear materials. So because you claim Nigeria is planning to build nuclear power plants so Obama will now tell Buhari how to build and protect them when our power generation has plummeted because the same Buhari doesn't know how to protect pipelines. Abeg go buy sense for market.

Your posts show that you are poorly educated, ill mannered, unteachable, unwise and unhappy. So i have no further reason to indulge you.

Adios.

anetuno:
Zombie spotted, mention any of those leaders whose country does not have a nuclear program. What can your president contribute, I doubt if he even understands what those true leaders will be talking about. Vladimir Putin, whose country Russia, has the largest stockpile of nuclear arsenal did not attend.

You are the zombie here.

Nigeria has a nuclear programme.

There's a mini-nuclear reactor in operation in Nigeria's Ahmadu Bello University, managed by Energy Commission of Nigeira.

Nigeria is planning to build at least two (2)) nos nuclear power plants. The preliminary studies are on presently.

Oil & gas producing companies use neclear materials in their operation. Nigeria is a world major oil and gas producing country.

Hospitals worldwide, including Nigeria, use medical nuclear materials for treatment and management of some diseases. Those materials are highly regulated internationally.

Nigeria has high Uranium deposit between Nafada (Gombe state) and Azare (Bauchi) and Potiskum (Yobe) axis. That makes Nigeria a potential miner of nuclear minerals.

Hope you have been schooled enough why you are the zombie?

HiggsBoson:
Funny how you believe iran has no nukes. When they have all it takes to build one. Bro somethings can't be proved, doesn't mean they don't exist. They signed a treaty and won't expose their nuclear program.

Stop imagining what's not, Oga. They don't have yet what it takes to build one. Even their "yellow cakes" are not of highest purity required to make bomb. It takes time to achieve that, not to even mention that the whole world is keeping a hawk eye on them so they can't keep back or deviate from laid down demands. Unless they wake up tomorrow to announce they bought couple of warheads from North Korea. For now, they don't have and stop pretending you have any information contrary.

antispexish:
Saudi has a nuke?, na yam!, who fed you such lies.

@ op, since both of them are Muslim countries wHo are trying to propagate their violent religion, I dnt see and end to the squabbles. They will continue their underground tactics through proxies untill one deals the other a vital blow in which the other person might not have a choice but make the fight open and conventional.

Yea. Saudi confirmed their owning a nuclear bomb only last week after years of speculations

HiggsBoson:
Don't make me laugh bro. Iran's secret nuclear program is one of the most dreaded worldwide. No one knows how advanced they are. Pls do your research

Calm down! Iran has no nukes. But if you are sure they do, please show a credible report that suggests such.

You might just be the only one that believes that joke.

Adesiji77:
"Iran possesses no nuke"?
If you believe that, you will believe anything

Which nuke Iran get? Show a credible proof that suggests that. Owning nuclear reactors and centrifuges does not quickly translate into owning nukes bro. But I will await your proofs

HiggsBoson:
Iran won't nuke saudi for the fear of US, and saudi won't nuke iran for the fear of china, russia and iran's unpredictable nuclear strenght. So they all are blabbing.
Hey Cecy, how about my previous proposal, won't hurt you know?

Iran posesses no nuke, but Saudi announced hers last week. So it is Iran than won't want to get nuked between the two. Beyond that, nobody would want to start the nuke thing in the middle east because it could quickly get out of hand.

Not that I support either over the other though.

doctokwus:
Buratai may end up being the first full general to be produced by the Nigerian army.
I remember when he mooted this idea of a motorbike division soon as he became the COAS,now it has become reality. He is an innovative and brilliant officer.
Kudos to Buratai,nigeria army and PMB.
Nigeria is already overcoming.

Abacha was a four star general before he became HoS. Alexander Ogomudia also retired as a 4-star general.

Why do i think there's more to this story?

Well, since they aren't yet inducted into the military filly, then civil action can be taken against them in a law court. By same reason, the case is still justiceable in civil law court, so the victim can go to court and sue, of which NDA won't have any legitimate power to block.

tuale4u:
Many of you wont read before commenting.
Did you see where he said in 1980 people were washing their hands with champagne?
Oil price crashed in 1983 and Nigeria didn't have enough foreign reserve to import things.
He is only advising we take diversification of the economy very seriously.
Nigeria inherited by Buhari is a mono economy.
It is for Buhari to diversify it.
But utomi also made it clear that diversification is not a switch you turn on and off. it takes time and proper planning.

I was wondering if it's same article I read that those people were commenting on.

Wrong!

Several of them serving as senior officers, and few have made Generalship. Maj Gen Ronke Kale made general over 15 years ago.

There is another Brig Gen Cecilia Akagu who's presently in service.

So many of them have attained Colonel position or equivalent in sister arms.

It's called Oedipus Complex for that of male child towards his mother, and Electra Complex for the female child's towards her father.

Good one!

I hope the ministry of culture and tourism will cash in on this forex issue to market the national games reserves as local substitute for all its good reasons

Obiagelli:
Buhari accused Kanu of entering the country without either of his passports. Tell us when his daughter did same. Too many people with comprehension problem

My sister, i tire o!

I have noticed that most IPOB youths are intellectually challenged in one way or another. The video is still there in public domain and PMB's response was clear, so how a poorly educated grumpy cat with access to internet can twist it to suit his/her selfish bias and yet (look at majority of earlier posters' responses.) gullible IPOB youths lap it up without checking it out. Thats how they presented 5hemselves en masse foolishly for campaign of calumny befote election withput using common sense to test the matters.

Nne, this people are huge embarassments to Igbo nation o

fineguy11:
u're the foolish one...your article boldly stated that its still carrying out "FLIGHT TEST"...a bomber that is still yet to fire any armament..http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/11319455/F-35-stealth-jet-will-not-be-able-to-fire-its-guns-until-2019.html.

You are incorrigibly stupeed.

You started with foolish claim that F22 was not a stealth aircraft, advanced to justifying your foolishness by quoting politicians on F35 as failed programme. I kept educating you and bursting your ignorance, and showed you that 6 countries have received their trainer versions (even stated this much earlier) and you return to mock me of proving to you that F35 is actually active and in full flight. Can you be more stupeed?...how did I even get entangled with a halfwit like you in technical debate?

Sorry, ...drool on.

fineguy11:
''For purely futuristic systems as the F35, I can tell you as a professional that it is doing well''.lol.,.A system not yet in service is doing well?what a petty conclusion reached by a science ''proffessional''..

Your foolishness kniws no bounds. Read and get wise brother. See the link below to know that it is already in service in over 6 countries.

This news piece can only be taken serious by idiots. The supposed lazy brained activist claimed only the governiw council has power go sack the VC, but didn't tell who's the chairman of the governing council.

For information, the President/ HoS is the Visitor to every federal university and chairman of governing council is on seat by his appointment, hence he holds executive power over the governing council.

If the sacked feel offended as the seaational journalist makes it appear, they should approach the court for redress. Of course, that will never happen because the affected know better.

For the sesational claim about "Kano University", there's no evidence to substantiate that the appointees are all from Kano state or NW geo-political zone.

Let the reader beware!

fineguy11:
so according go u homerac7 a.k.a.(Einstein)..''any half wit can write anything on the internet''.in other words,the aviation experts who have written articles criticizing the F-35 for being an ''overly hyped''bomber having one deficiency or the other are all "HALF WIT" and also,Democratic California Rep. Jackie Speier who said that the F-35's logistics system is 80% unreliable, its engine stability is "extremely poor" and electronics in the individually sculpted $400,000 pilot's helmet is currently unable to distinguish friend from foe,is an "HALF WIT".in her own words she said,
"At best, when the services declare 'initial operating capability' , we will be launching an 'unstable' plane that cannot perform many of its core missions for years," Speier said. "At worst, it'll hurt people or we'll ground it in the hangar and spend billions on a retrofit.".John mc cain is another "HALF WIT" who stated@a senate arm service commitee meeting in 2013 stated that the F-35 programme was one of america's greatest ''National Scandal''..
Just spare yourself of typing all this non-existent capabilities of the F-35 (alledged stealth bomber).i'm sure the various PR firms of LOCKHEED MARTIN sent a more detailed and comprehensive positives of the F-35 to JOHN MC CAIN, and yet he called it ''ONE OF AMERICA"S GREATEST NATIONAL SCANDAL"...this is not the first time LOCK HEED MARTIN will be using propaganda mixed with heavy lobbying to sell a bomber with capabilities only applicable in video games!in 1983,they told the world that have produced a STEALTH BOMBER(F-117).the F-117 flew missions in iraq in 1991 avoiding areas where saddam's soviet air-defences were not present..they managed to keep up the propaganda about the ''alledged'' f-117 stealth'' NIGHTHAWK bomber for years. they themselves began to believe the lie they created until the US flew the f-117 stealth bomber in 'yugoslavia' 1999,only for it to be shot down by a russian made defence system produced in 1961(S-125 neva/pechora)....so forgive me if i refuse to be a troll and refusing to believe the F-22 is a stealth bomber or even the F-35 that has been criticized by aviation experts..

You are entitled to your opinion rightly. It doesn't make your position weaker or stronger.

I will explain your mistakes from two ways;

1. You quoted politicians ( the most unreliable breeds of human beings) on defence contracts. Can't you see the irony already?

2. If only you know even the rudiments of technology as you want to present yourself here, then you should have heard of "early mortality" in maintenance /reliability in new projects/equipment. This is a "normal" engineering phenomenon, so saying a new project has reliability issue is nothing unusual at all. For purely futuristic systems as the F35, I can tell you as a professional that it is doing well. So calm down and stop the Chicken Little syndrome.

Henry240:
That's where the Gripen NG is king. It's unique selling proposition is it's ability to share seamlessly information. What one Gripen NG in a Gripen formation sees, the other aircrafts see. Armed with a superior radar and the world's best BVRAAM, the Meteor......... The Gripen E/F is in many quarters considered a better 5 GEN aircraft.

Good.

The F35 takes it further, it is literally a command post for other aircrafts and drones. It is being configured to take data relayed by drones and direct their actions.

Henry240:
Stealth is great for now, however, eventually Radar technology would develop in such a manner stealth becomes largely inconsequential. Network Centric Warfare is the future of air warfare.
The Russians would always be that step ahead in ADS, it is aircrafts like the Gripen NG that would eventually shape the battlefields of tomorrow, not the F-35, PAk-FA or J-20.

Yea, radar technology is fast developing. The term "stealth" in itself has always been relative, and will always be. The same advancement in radar technology works both ways for the ADS system and the strike aircraft. So there will always be "stealthy" aircraft's, only that immediate definition of "stealth" will change from invincible to ADS to first to neutralise or better evasion.

Future network is going to be network-centric for true. That's where aircraft's like F35 leads already. It is typically a flying computer server. This sole reason is the source of its many software problems it is facing at the present. I think that aircraft is the most ignorantly criticised aircraft I have known. No aircraft flying is like it in any air force. Its a revolutionary aircraft in terms of packed computerised abilities. When it is perfected, it will be a totally new concept in air war tactics.

fineguy11:
F-35 STEALTH? Are u for real?did u even read the article the op pasted?ur argument is based on facts that dont exist..i have no problem with ur F-22 analysis except,the F-22 IS an''alledged'' STEALTH CRAFT,hence the US military craving for a more superior bird in terms of STEALTH CAPABILITIES.pundits have questioned the stealth capability of the F-35,...http://www.ibtimes.com/f-35-stealth-jet-production-under-review-amid-questionable-performance-changing-2003100

Oga, what exactly is your dispute? Are you disputing F35 as a stealth aircraft? If that's what you are claiming, then you have no business discussing military aircraft's because you know next to nothing about the issue.

By the way, any half wit can write an article and put it up on the internet , including those with peculiar biases. I have read tons of opinions on the aircraft, and based on my professional opinion, it is going to be the aircraft to beat in another 5-8 years. Now I hope I can also write an article to that effect, put it up online and refer you to it.

Next time you are gonna consider prejudiced opinions, learn to interpret available hard facts first.

Your post also shows that you have poor understanding of strategic roles of F22 and F35. I'm sure you also think Su 24, 25, 30 and 35 are to be rated on same pedestal.

Bro, go find out their individual strategic roles and return to correct your confused post.

ADD: what hard facts don't exist? You show so much ignorance in your post. Trained eyes will identify stealth design of F35 simply by its physical features which include its Delta wings, obtuse angles around its fuselage, hidden weapon bay, amidst other easy to identify features without having to check other unobvious parameters. Your ignorance is further displayed by not even recognising that an aircraft designated as Joint Strike Fighter with peculiar capabilities in ground attack and air defence breaches will have stealth capabilities. You don't even need to see the picture to figure that out. I hope I have schooled you enough on F35 Thunder, so learn to sift facts from nonsense when reading online.

On F22 Raptor, you claim it's stealth capabilities is "alleged" ? Now I don't know how to cure ya ignorance on that.

Obatala7Kronos:
And those Air Defences will be sitting duck without getting any upgrades & newer versions.

My friend, in the art of war, never underestimate your enemy, especially when that enemy is Mother Russia.

True.

Russia has got some awesome ADS in S-X00, Pantsir and BUK, no doubt. But it will be ignoble to neglect the stealth and advanced electronics suite of F22 and F35. In fact, F35 can conveniently beat any ADS in operation currently. It is no advanced 5th gen fighter for nothing sake. Forget Raptor, the undoing of any ADS is to "see" it, that very "seeing" is what the F22 is designed to look out for and neutralize.

The strategic plan is to have F22 and F35 fly in tandem into hot zones. F22 probes your defence, and the moment they light up like Xmas trees, the F35 knocks a hole through them.

Bro, Russia and China are doing great, but many people ignore the fact that US is currently upgrading her capabilities to beat those threats.

Souljaboi1:
The first problem with the F-35 program was that the Top Brass wanted it to do everything.
Stealth with lots of armament.
Fly above the radar but still perform ATS attacks.
Perform as a standalone system but still able to draw mission related info from nearby systems.
The complications and expectations were just too much; while most of these roles are contradictory to one another. Just as you don't expect the B-2 to engage in a dogfight with a Su-25, you shouldn't expect the V-22 osprey to perform recon missions.
I believe the F-16 program has been among the most successful in American military aviation. It has been able to adapt to upgrades over the years.
Let them have a defined role and stick to it. As technology improves, they can add more roles as they like; even if they want to put a hyper drive, it's left to them.
All I want to see is that bird take flight , no less !

It's in flight already. US Marines and Air Force have inducted theirs. Royal Navy has received their initial trainer versions and are currently training pilots on it in US. Italy flew her's from Italy to US for finishing touches only last week. Israeli Air force has received her initial deliveries for final touches too.

Personally, I see a very formidable bird in another 4-8 years. It's strategic mix with F-22 Raptor will tear down most of air defences with ease.

It is always wrong to compare F35 with Su35 or SuT50 because the former is a Joint Strike Fighter, meant for deep strikes and evasion of enemies air defences while the latter are Air Superiority Fighters. That's what defines their obvious different profiles and speeds. The latter should be compared with F22 , which is also an air superiority fighter.

Chubhie:
Buhari has shown time and again that he lacked the paper,mental and cutting edge qualifications necessary for leadership in a country as Nigeria.
How did a president authorise the massacre of over 1000 of it's citizens for blocking a road? perhaps, he thought this is Nigeria biafra war.

Your teachers have failed. With this mentality, you are less than an almajiri.

And for the guy asking for the danger in a sub detecting an enemy sub from a far distance, what the hunting sub will do is simply to communicate the enemy sub's position and vector to an ASW aircraft which will race up and bomb it with enough depth charges before finishing it up as scrap for the fishes.
