First to Comment.

Maybe I might be the first buyer.

That's if Seun or Lala pushes it to FP.

But since there's no snake in the topic,

I won't be surprised if this doesn't make FP.

Lol, and I read a report this morning that NCC has declined allocating this network to any provider.

MrSix:
When it comes to Nigeria, it'd be 3G.
I trust naija with poor network. Especially Glo and AIRTEL.

Betfair release 'Lukaku Specials' in hilarious ploy for Arsenal game


by Tom Saunders
Senior Writer


Romelu Lukaku has been scrutinized on a regular basis after a poor run of form has seen the Belgian forward score just five goals in 18 games so far this campaign.

The Manchester United forward's first touch has been a focus for much of the criticism coming the striker's way, resulting in a plethora of social media memes.

United play Arsenal on Wednesday evening and the Belgian will be hoping to kick on after breaking his goalscoring duck against Southampton last weekend.

The match is highly anticipated for many reasons, one being that it will be the first time that Man United and Arsenal will have faced each other without Sir Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger as boss since 1986.

Unfortunately for the Belgian, another reason is for Football fans to count the number of poor touches and mistakes the striker makes.

The 'Lukaku Special' available at a Betfair store near you

Betfair have decided to take advantage of the criticism surrounding Lukaku and create 'Lukaku Specials' which allow customers to bet on things slightly more obscure than first goalscorer or the score after half time.

To assist an Arsenal goal, to fall over the ball and to have a shot that goes for a throw-in are just three of eight bizarre bets that are available for the game at the Emirates Stadium.

United will be hoping 'Big Rom' can ignore the comical scrutiny aimed at him on social media and return to the form that earnt him his £75 million price tag.

However, if his form continues to amuse the neutral Football fan then a 'Lukaku Special' could become a regular betting fixture in the footballing calendar.

Why Russia and China Fear America's Ohio-Class Submarines

They might be old, but they could wipe out an entire country in less than an hour.
by Sebastien Roblin

Nine years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Ishirō Honda’s Godzilla depicted a monster awakened from the depths of the ocean to wreak havoc on Japanese cities. A giant fire-breathing reptile, however, was less horrifying than what was to come. In less than a decade’s time, there would be dozens of real undersea beasts capable of destroying multiple cities at a time. I’m referring, of course, to ballistic-missile submarines, or “boomers” in U.S. Navy parlance.

The most deadly of the real-life kaiju prowling the oceans today are the fourteen Ohio-class ballistic-missile submarines, which carry upwards of half of the United States’ nuclear arsenal onboard.

If you do the math, the Ohio-class boats may be the most destructive weapon system created by humankind. Each of the 170-meter-long vessels can carry twenty-four Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) which can be fired from underwater to strike at targets more than seven thousand miles away depending on the load.

As a Trident II reenters the atmosphere at speeds of up to Mach 24, it splits into up to eight independent reentry vehicles, each with a 100- or 475-kiloton nuclear warhead. In short, a full salvo from an Ohio-class submarine—which can be launched in less than one minute—could unleash up to 192 nuclear warheads to wipe twenty-four cities off the map. This is a nightmarish weapon of the apocalypse.

The closest competitor to the Ohio-class submarine is the Russia’s sole remaining Typhoon-class submarine, a larger vessel with twenty ballistic-missile launch tubes. However, China, Russia, India, England and France all operate multiple ballistic-missile submarines with varying missile armaments—and even a few such submarines would suffice to annihilate the major cities in a developed nation.

What possible excuse is there for such monstrous, nation-destroying weaponry?

The logic of nuclear deterrence: while a first strike might wipe out a country’s land-based missiles and nuclear bombers, it’s very difficult to track a ballistic-missile submarine patrolling quietly in the depths of the ocean—and there’s little hope of taking them all out in a first strike. Thus, ballistic-missile submarines promise the unstoppable hand of nuclear retribution—and should deter any sane adversary from attempting a first strike or resorting to nuclear weapons at all. At least that’s the hope.

As such, the Trident-armed Ohio-class submarines will have succeeded in their mission if they never fire their weapons in anger.

The Ohio-class boats entered service in the 1980s as a replacement for five different classes of fleet ballistic-missile submarines, collectively known as the “41 for Freedom.” Displacing more than eighteen thousand tons submerged, the new boomers remain the largest submarines to serve in the U.S. Navy—and the third largest ever built. With the exception of the Henry M. Jackson , each is named after a U.S. state, an honor previously reserved for large surface warships .

In the event of a nuclear exchange, a boomer would likely receive its firing orders via Very Low Frequency radio transmission. While a submarine’s missiles are not pretargeted, like those in in fixed silos, they can be assigned coordinates quite rapidly. The first eight Ohio-class boats were originally built to launch the Trident I C4 ballistic missile—an advanced version of the earlier Poseidon SLBM. However, by now all of the boomers are armed with the superior Trident II D5 ballistic missile, which has 50 percent greater range and is capable of very accurate strikes, which could enable them to precisely target military installations as a first-strike weapon.

Ohio-class submarines also come armed with four twenty-one-inch tubes that can launch Mark 48 torpedoes. However, these are intended primarily for self-defense—a ballistic missile submarine’s job isn’t to hunt enemy ships and submarines, but to lie as low and quiet as possible to deny adversaries any means of tracking their movements. The submarine’s nuclear reactor gives it virtually unlimited underwater endurance and the ability to maintain cruising speeds of twenty knots (twenty-three miles per hour) while producing very little noise.

While other branches of the military may be deployed in reaction to the crisis of the day, the nuclear submarines maintain a steady routine of patrols, and communicate infrequently so as to remain as stealthy as possible. Each Ohio-class submarine has two crews of 154 officers and enlisted personnel, designated Gold and Blue, who take turns departing on patrols that last an average of seventy to ninety days underwater—with the longest on record being 140 days by the USS Pennsylvania . An average of a month is spent between patrols, with resupply facilitated by three large-diameter supply hatches.

Currently, nine boomers are based in Bangor, Washington to patrol the Pacific Ocean, while five are stationed in Kings Bay, Georgia for operations in the Atlantic. The end of the Cold War, and especially the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, resulted in the downsizing of U.S. nuclear forces. However, rather than retiring some of the oldest boats as originally planned, the Navy decided to refit four of the eighteen Ohio-class subs to serve as cruise missile carriers to launch conventional attacks against ground and sea targets—starting with the USS Ohio.

Meanwhile, the New START treaty which came into effect in 2011 imposes additional limits on the number of deployed nuclear weapons. The current plan is to keep twelve Ohio-class subs active at time with twenty Trident IIs each, while two more boomers remain in overhaul, keeping a total of 240 missiles active at a time with 1,090 warheads between them. Don’t worry, restless hawks: that’s still enough to destroy the world several times over!

The Ohio class will serve on until the end of the 2020s, and may even receive some additional acoustic stealth upgrades until they are replaced by a successor, tentatively dubbed the Columbia class. With estimated costs of $4–6 billion each to manufacture, the next-generation boomers may be fewer in number and will use new reactors that do not require expensive overhauls and refueling, allowing them to serve on until 2085.

Well said bro

SternProphet:
Are you kidding?. China is controlling the evonomy of 3/4 of developing (third wotld) countries. They have the second largest economy. They are the most populous country in the world.
Russia has no control over Europe. It is an ordinary country now that NATO has completely surrounded. It's economy is far less than Indias economy. It's only relevant because of nuclear weapons. Ordinary sanctions imposed because of Ukraine is devastating their economy.
I think Russia may also have been put high on the list due to perceived influence on Trump than true poowet

Why should a whole counsel to a whole US President be telling lies like that?

Here is the list of the 10 countries ranked as the most dangerous for women by the survey, conducted between March 26 and May 4:

1. INDIA - Tops the list, with levels of violence against women still running high, more than five years after the rape and murder of a student on a bus in Delhi sparked national outrage and government pledges to tackle the issue.

India ranked as the most dangerous on three issues – the risks women face from sexual violence and harassment, from cultural and traditional practices, and from human trafficking including forced labor, sex slavery and domestic servitude.

2. AFGHANISTAN - Second in the list, with experts saying women face dire problems nearly 17 years after the overthrow of the Taliban.

Ranked as the most dangerous country for women in three areas – non-sexual violence, access to healthcare, and access to economic resources.

3. SYRIA - Third after seven years of civil war. Ranked as second most dangerous country for women in terms of access to healthcare and non-sexual violence, which includes conflict-related violence as well as domestic abuse. Joint third with the United States on the risks women face of sexual abuse.

4. SOMALIA - Fourth after being mired in conflict since 1991. Ranked as third most dangerous country for women in terms of access to healthcare and for putting them at risk of harmful cultural and traditional practices. Named as fifth worst in terms of women having access to economic resources.

5. SAUDI ARABIA - Overall fifth, but the conservative kingdom was named the second most dangerous country for women in terms of economic access and discrimination, including in the workplace and in terms of property rights. Fifth in terms of the risks women face from cultural and religious practices.

6. PAKISTAN - Sixth most dangerous and fourth worst in terms of economic resources and discrimination as well as the risks women face from cultural, religious and traditional practices, including so-called honor killings. Pakistan ranked fifth on non-sexual violence, including domestic abuse.

7. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO - Listed as seventh with the United Nations warning millions of people face “hellish living conditions” after years of factional bloodshed and lawlessness. Ranked as second most dangerous country for women as regards sexual violence, and between seventh and ninth in four other questions.

8. YEMEN - Eighth in the list after ranking poorly on access to healthcare, economic resources, risk from cultural and traditional practices, and non-sexual violence. Yemen is still reeling from the world’s most urgent humanitarian crisis with 22 million people in need of vital assistance.

9. NIGERIA - Ranked as ninth, with human rights groups accusing the country’s military of torture, rape and killing civilians during a nine-year fight against Boko Haram militants. Nigeria was named fourth most dangerous country along with Russia when it came to human trafficking. It listed sixth worst on the risks women face from traditional practices.

10. UNITED STATES - The only Western nation in the top 10 and joint third with Syria for the risks women face in terms of sexual violence, including rape, sexual harassment, coercion into sex and a lack of access to justice in rape cases. The survey came after the #MeToo campaign went viral last year, with thousands of women using the social media movement to share stories of sexual harassment or abuse.

Bros, you don't expect real theives to carry around or drop their ID's. THe ID card you saw may have been stolen from one of their victims. Hence, the police alsways advises people to report stolen items such as ID's, SIM cards etc cos they can give away your identity. Unless the picture above is someone you can recognise from the incidencet, else, you'll be defaming an innocent person by doing this public naming and shaming.

Bigguymen:
Pls people, on Friday the 30th of November 2018 around 1AM , my house was robbed by a group of thieves about four in number. The carted away with a Toyota Camry 2009 with reg number IKD-704HJ and a Prado SUV with reg number ISL-482JJ. They also shot our gateman in the process. Luckily for us, one of them carelessly dropped an ID and the photos you can see below tallied with the ring leader of the bandits.

A 100k reward will be given for any vital information about this particular agent of the devil and most importantly., his location. The case has been reported at the Lagos state police command , Ikeja.

Thanks.

The persistent downward trend on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) continued on Wednesday with Dangote Cement leading the losers’ table.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the stock lost N3 to close at N190 per share.

Nigeria Breweries trailed with a loss of 40k to close at N79, while Zenith Bank was down by 35k to close at N23.25 per share.

Oando dropped by 30k to close at N4.65, while FBN Holdings shed 25k to close at N7.10 per share.

Consequently, the market capitalisation dipped further by N55 billion or 0.48 per cent to close at N11.325 trillion compared to N11.380 trillion on Tuesday.

Also, the All-Share Index which opened at 31,173.71 lost 150.24 points or 0.48 per cent to close at 31,023.47.

Mr Ambrose Omordion, the Chief Operating Officer, InvestData Ltd., said that the continued selloffs had depressed the market further.

Omordion attributed the persistent lull to investors’ apathy due to the persisting unclear direction of the Federal Government’s economic policies and implementation style of the budget since 2015.

He said that economic activities that drive growth had continued to drag, often taking two steps forward and five backwards.

“The huge budgets and the much celebrated improvement in capital budgeting to drive developmental projects have not reflected in the economy in anyway despite the high debt profile resulting from borrowing to finance the budget.

“As Nigeria goes into another election season, which has so far plagued the market, owing to the perceived uncertainties, analysts are on the lookout for a 10-year economic development blueprint with delivery time and process that will give Nigerians hope.

“This should not be time for mere sloganeering by politicians in the name of party manifestoes that empowers few individuals, family members, friends and business partners,’’ Omordion said.

On the other hand, Stanbic IBTC Group led the gainers’ table, growing by N1.05 to close at N50 per share.

PZ Cussons followed with a gain of 85k to close at N11.40, while
Guaranty Trust Bank gained 60k to close at N35.60 per share.

Flour Mills improved by 50k to close at N20, while Lafarge Africa increased by 35k to close at N13.35 per share.

NAN reports that Access Bank was the most active stock, exchanging 54.17 million shares worth N385.41 million.

FCMB Group followed with an account of 31.52 million shares valued at N45.71 million, while Diamond Bank traded 16.66 million shares worth N12.66 million.

United Bank for Africa sold 11.52 million shares worth N85.19 million, while Regency Insurance traded 11.09 million shares valued at N2.22 million.

In all, investors exchanged 220.47 million shares worth N2.73 billion achieved in 3,252 deals, an increase of 20.94 per cent.

This was in contrast with 182.23 million shares valued at N2.75 billion traded in 3,121 deals on Tuesday.
