Politics › Re: Nigeria Loses $10m To Foreign Registered Private Jets by Horus(m): 1:46pm On Sep 20, 2013
FlyinNaija: The Nigerian aircraft registry is not attractive. It is the duty of the Nigerian government to make the registry competitive. It's a global economy, you can't force anyone to operate under any registry. There are numerous benefits to registering aircraft in Bermuda, Cayman Islands and Isle of Man etc. The authorities in these countries have gone out of their way to make aircraft ownership and operation stress free. The aviation ministry and the NCAA have no clear policies. The system is too bureaucratic for the highly dynamic world of business aviation.
Bottom line : the problem lies more with the government and it's policies than with the aircraft owners and operators
If I understand what you are saying, there is a loophole in the Nigerian taxe system and jet owners are taking advantage of it?

lucky Don: From my observations here,u guys are all anti Americans.U all have forgetten the heavy price that American servicemen paid for the actualisation of freedom as from the second world war.
I know they are not saints but their sacrifices must always be appreciated.
We are anti-Injustice. The second world war?. Do you know about the Anglo-American banking cartel?. The Rockefeller and Morgan empires lended money to the German to fund WWII. American oil giant Standard Oil purchased 730,000 acres of land in Germany and built large oil refineries that supplied the Nazis with oil. At the same time, the United States secretly provided Germany with the most modern equipment for military airplane factories. Defeating Nazism was not the immediate goal of American intervention. The goal was to have a long, devastating and lucrative war, leading to greater concentration of power and money in their hands. The Anglo-American banking cartel didn't care about American servicemen during WWII. Even today in 2013, at the highest level, all intelligence agencies (MI-6, CIA, Mossad, KGB) answer to this cartel, not to their national governments.

Caleboha: This is not pure islam! Women are not supposed to expose their faces, show up in public places like these and compete for such mundane things as pageantry. Totally unislamic and a a reflection of the huge influence the west has on muslims. If such modifications are allowed in an albeit hardline religion, women should never be stoned to death again for adultery or whatever. We should start from there. Women should also be allowed to choose who they'll get married to and when they want to!!!
sad
If they cannot expose their faces how will you recognise them?

They were born decades after American forces had sprayed the herbicide dioxin Agent Orange in South Vietnam, but some children living in the region today continue to suffer from the horrifying effects of the chemical.

The Vietnam Red Cross estimated that about 1 million Vietnamese have been affected by Agent Orange, including 150,000 children suffering from birth defects
Foreign Affairs › Re: Agent Orange. American Chemical And Biological Warfare by Horus(op): 9:36pm On Sep 19, 2013
lucky Don: I know for sure that the yanks never planned to kill civilians with it.They resorted to it so that they can be able to bomb the evil soviet backed communist to rumbles.And may I remind u guys that agent orange is not a chemical weapon.It is just a HERBICIDE for clearing thick jungles.Many countries have used it in their own countries.
For e.g Canada has used it in the northern Ontario and also the province of New Brunswick.
Are you saying that the yanks didnt know at all that there was civilians farmers cultivating their crops below when they sprayed the Agent Orange with US Air Force plane?

They resorted to it so that they can be able to bomb the evil soviet backed communist to rumbles.
Why do you see them as evil when they are just trying to protect their own land against invaders?

It is just a HERBICIDE for clearing thick jungles.
So for you the deadly chemical Agent Orange is just merely an ordinary "HERBICIDE" that we can easily buy in the hand of any suppliers?
Agent Orange contains high levels of dioxins and everybody should know that these are some of the most toxic chemicals on earth, both carcinogenic and mutagenic (altering genes). As for the US being 'innocent' as they didn't know what the impacts would be, this stuff was sprayed first back in the 1950s and the evidence of its harmfulness was overwhelming even by the 1960s. So the US knew the effect of those chemicals before the Vietnam war. Please research these subjects, unless you are one of those people who refuse to believe anything you read that has been produced by science.

BBC documentary

Who were the first Americans? Where did they come from? When did they first arrive here? This BBC documentary answers those questions. Scientist were stunned to find evidence of civilization in Brazil dating to around 50,000 years ago. Evidence of fire usage, rock art paintings, and some of the oldest skeletal remains ever found in the America's have established a new timeline for the arrival of modern humans in the America's. Analysis on skulls found show that they are more similar to the bone structure of Africans and Australian Aborigines.

lucky Don: The yanks never targeted the civilians deliberately.It was out of desperation to bomb the vietcongs.And most importantly,they sprayed 20 million litters and not 80 million litters.And I would also like to remind u guys that many US servicemen were also affected by this agent orange especially those that applied it.
You are confusing Gallons with liters. It is 20 millions Gallons that were sprayed. But 1 Gallon = 4.54 liters
Now do the math: 20 millions X by 4.54 result in more than 80 millions liters

The yanks targeted rices plantations deliberately and they knew that sending planes to spray defoliants on the forests and food plantations of a foreign country is a violation of its territorial integrity, the US caused damage and destruction contrary to the Humanitarian Law, and this constitutes an illegal act by which the United States has made itself responsible for the consequences and is obligated to rectify them. But the US refuse to give compensation for the injuries inflicted upon generations of the Vietnamese people. This is unfair

lucky Don: I admit the the Yanks used agent orange in Vietnam during the war with severe consequences on the part of the civilians.But unfortunately,most people here don't know their reasons for using it.
They used it because enemy combatants ie vietcongs,north vietnamese soldiers mastered the act of hiding under the massive forests thereby undermining the American airpower.U S carrier based bombers were not able to hit their target accurately.
Agent orange was meant primarily for clearing the tick forests so that bombers can hit targets accurately.It wasn't a deliberate act to kill civilians.
You have to understand that the (vietcongs), north vietnamese soldiers had the right to hide under the forest, after all they were in their own land contrary to the Americans who were the invaders. The US sprayed a third of the surface of Vietnam with agent orange and targeted volontarly and specifically rice plantations with this chemical, because they knew that rice was the first source of food. They knew very well that the first that will starve to death will be the childrens, so it was a deliberate act to kill by mass starvation with no respect at all for any international conventions
