andrewza: So you just stupid and cant read
and any case how many does rawnda have Enough to wipe the floor with the SANDF. I mean your defeated Soldiers were taking pictures of admiration with M23 commanders. A group Rwanda backs and you think you can withstand Rwanda in any sort of combat. It would be a helpless shellacking. The SANDF is a joke!!! |

andrewza: That articel is wrong. İ mean they have the number of aircraft in the airforce wrong so if they cant get that basic fact correct how can you trust what they said
https://www.defenceweb.co.za/aerospace/aerospace-aerospace/setting-the-record-straight-on-saaf-aircraft-availability/
I would not trust reports on the SANDF from media who dont even know how many aircraft the Saaf has It's all over your National News!! There's no evidence South-Africa has more than 6 operational aircrafts in your air force. Also, South-African soldiers defeated by M23 rebels in the DRC were seen taking photos and videos with M23. What a disgrace!!! |

andrewza: Have you not heard what i said. I dont think south africa will escape intact either. No african country will.
Ok you now I wish I had the time to start going back and forth with you. It is delusional to think South-Africa has a larger industry than Nigeria. Perhaps in the past, but not anymore. But Nigeria and South-Africa depend on parts imports for manufacturing, including in the Auto sector. It is naive to say Nigeria just has oil, when we refine the crude oil to many different byproducts. There are at least 8 functional refineries in Nigeria alone. South-Africa will go bankrupt if it embarks on Nigeria's coastal road project, this is a fact. |

andrewza: in ww3 America and china would very much stop being countries as we know it.
No they will not vanish but there trade and ablity to provide aid will. For all purpose they will not be there and will have no need to buy or sell any with with nigeria or Africa
Nigeria does not have a industry that matters. I know people like to talk about it but the Nigrian industry is in truth very small in evry region and catagory. Remember Nigeria populastion is masive yet it industry is smaller than south africa. This is not even me say south africa will survive as a intact country. No country in the world will. The world is to linked in global web of trade and services and WW3 would shatter that entier system.
WW3 wont have investors. the war will be fast and short. who will invest in nigeria and what would they invest with.
i dont have faith in the poltical leaders in south africa or nigeria to keep the counties together. Nigeria doesn't have an industry that matters is the dumbest comment I have seen in this thread since I started visiting here. South-Africa has an industry that matters right? Nigeria has the largest Oil & Gas Industry in Africa, it also has the largest Refining capacity in Africa. Only 2 countries in Africa have significant refining capacity, Nigeria and Algeria. The Entertainment industry is also the largest in Africa. Nigeria's financial services sector, Banking, E-banking and E-commerce is also larger. Which South-African e-commerce company processes more trade than moniepoint, Flutterwave, Paystack or OPAY. Nigeria's construction and Real estate sector are also larger. I mean there's no road project the size of Nigeria's ongoing Coastal road that's happening anywhere in Africa. The Automotive industry depends on imported parts just like every other African auto manufacturer. You say Industry in South-Africa is larger than Nigeria, perhaps in the past, not the same as today. |

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has announced the procurement of 12 pre-owned ex French Air Alpha Jet aircraft SOFEMA, a French aerospace company. Of these, six will be restored to operational status, while the other six will be used as spare parts to support the existing Alpha Jet fleet.
This partnership with SOFEMA highlights the NAF’s efforts to enhance its air combat capabilities by maximizing the utility of pre-owned jets alongside acquiring brand-new aircraft.
In 2024 alone, the NAF has received 12 aircraft, including KA-360i and DA-62 planes, T-129, and AW-109 Trekker helicopters. According to the Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, the force is expecting three more aircraft before year-end( 2x T129 ATAK & 1 King Air 360i), bringing the total to 64 new aircraft in three years.
Next year, the NAF is set to bolster its fleet further with 49 additional aircraft, including AW-109 helicopters, M-346FA jets, CASA-295 transport aircraft, and AH-1Z attack helicopters.

Family › Re: Getting This Off My Chest: My Strained Relationship With My Dad by kabe1: 2:46pm On Nov 25, 2024 |
amazinghands: I relocated to the United States about eight years ago. My relationship with my dad has been strained and continues to deteriorate.
Background: I grew up in a lower-middle-class family with both my mom and dad working hard. Everything changed when my dad started earning significant money. His newfound wealth led to a lifestyle filled with parties, women, and alcohol (to be fair, he earned his money, so he had the right to spend it as he pleased). He built a hotel and was barely home afterward.
2010: While I was in college, I wanted to leave Nigeria due to the incessant ASUU strikes. I told my dad I wanted to study abroad. Initially, he agreed and gave me the funds to start the process. I was admitted to a school in Ukraine and secured a visa, but he later said he couldn’t afford to send me abroad. This decision felt contradictory, as his lifestyle said otherwise. (To be fair, it’s his money, and he has the right to decide how to spend it.)
2016: I got admitted to a master’s program in the U.S. and approached my dad for help again. He told me to "cut my coat according to my size" and said he couldn’t sell any of his properties for the sake of a child studying abroad. (Again, to be fair, he was right—he had already paid for my college tuition in Nigeria.) Around the same time, he married another wife.
On the other hand, my mom sold her only piece of land and some jewelry to give me half of my first semester's tuition. After involving family members, my dad reluctantly gave me ₦400,000, stating that was all he could afford. I thanked him for the support.
Fast Forward to Today: I struggled and worked odd jobs to make ends meet, determined never to ask him for help again. Over time, I’ve become financially stable, secured a good job, and am now a permanent resident. I give my dad a monthly allowance and occasionally send more during festive seasons. My mom, on the other hand, gets spoiled with gifts, extra money, and I’ve even invited her to visit and spend time with me in the U.S.
Now, my dad is broke and has suggested I buy him a car and increase what I do for him, despite the fact that my parents are separated and he currently lives with his second wife. I’ve told myself I won’t go above and beyond for him, especially since he chose to prioritize his lifestyle and the new wife (who came with a stepson). I find it hard to reconcile his past decisions with his current expectations.
Am I in the wrong here? NO!!! |

The use of multiple warheads signals a severe escalation in the war in Ukraine.
This isn’t just a battlefield move—it’s a global threat.
Immediate and unified dialogue is critical to prevent further chaos.
All parties need to sit at the table and dialogue. This war is gradually getting out of hand.
Politicians in America, Europe, Russia and Ukraine need to apply common sense!!! |
