GamalNasser: Hmmm just yesterday I was saying to a friend that I suspect they will close a diamond bank in my estate and I was right , looks they are closing diamond bank branches in areas where they already had Access branches , Methinks Herbert Wigwe is just using COVID crunch as an excuse to ditch Diamond bank staff he inherited in the acquisition

NNS Aradu, which is currently being repaired will undertake a new role as a combat training and patrol ship due to its age and obsolescence of its on-board weapons.
kabe1: Let me say something here, Nigerians need to be very, very, very worried that oil price is selling between $11 and $12 per barrel.
Before I left Nigeria, I worked in the Oil & Gas services sector. A drastic drop in crude oil price would exert a lot of pressure on ordinary Nigerians, let's not kid ourselves.
The highest salary earners as a group work in Nigeria's crude oil sector. When that group get paid at the end of the month, they spend on average higher than any other group of workers in Nigeria. Where do they spend that money?
Then you have oil services providers in Nigeria, they are in their thousands. If you look at Nipex for example, the number of oil servicing companies on that platform are more than 40,000.
NLNG Train 7, I read more than 3,000 vendors were verified.
If Crude continues to sell below $15, Companies would retrench workers, thousands of them.
If workers lose their jobs, they can no longer spend, they can no longer afford to pay rent, who suffers at the end of the day?
Low oil price is very bad for Nigerian citizens, as well as the government.
Once countries open up, demand for oil will increase and so will the price.

S400: yes its more a heavy short-range MLRS ( 6km max range for the last versions) that move within the combat order of infantry and tanks equipped with incendiary and thermobaric warheads to clear out buildings, field fortifications , bunkers and its extremely effective against entrenched personnel. but its can be mounted only on t72 , t90 chassis ,

6km max range for a latest version sounds bad, but if MLRS are mounted on trucks why then can't they mount it on a T-55 chassis

kabe1: Akure ‘explosion’ was impact from meteors NOT explosives, says OAU prof
The explosion that rocked Akure, Ondo state capital, on Saturday, was caused by a giant rock from space known as meteors, a team of experts have concluded.
A meteor is what happens when a meteoroid – a small piece of an asteroid – burns up upon entering earth’s atmosphere, creating a streak of light in the sky.
The experts led by Adepelumi Adekunle, a professor of geophysics and earthquake engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, said the meteors impacted the location from “an angle of 43 degrees”.
TheCable obtained a copy of their report findings on the explosion on Sunday.

Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu on Saturday visited the scene of an explosion that rocked a suburb of Akure, the state capital.
Residents of Iluabo were shocked by an explosion that occurred in the area at about 1 am on Saturday.
The explosion made a large excavation on the road and the impact was felt kilometres away from the scene. Residents trooped towards the scene.
According to the State’s Commissioner of Police, Undie Adie, the explosive belonged to a construction company based in Edo state.
The Governor confirmed the commissioner’s explanation, adding that the convoy had been transporting the explosives to “a storage facility in a neighboring state.”
While en-route, “security personnel and other individuals transporting the ordinances noticed smoke from the vehicle,” the Governor added.
